Is the "NATO" China test "shocking"

In 20 13, the "Joint Entrance Examination for Independent Selection and Admission of Comprehensive Universities" (commonly known as "NATO Alliance") has aroused widespread concern in society. Controversy mainly focuses on three issues: First, make up a joke with the words "Peking University, Tsinghua, College Entrance Examination and Top Scholar" of 150; The second is to take "Beijing fog lock car lost" as the upper part of the couplet; The third is to expand the lyrics of "Sister Liu" into a 500-word story. "I only see vines winding around trees in the mountains. Where are trees winding around vines in the world? Green vines don't wrap around trees, and spring is wasted. " These "jokes, couplets and storytelling" questions, which have never appeared in previous exams, quickly became popular on the Internet and were "spit" by netizens as "divine questions" and weird questions. At first glance, these questions are really "shocking". No wonder some candidates even have the heart to lift the table after seeing it. But if we link them with the current situation of Chinese education in middle schools, you will find that these topics are far from being as "nonsense" as they seem. China education is busy doing problems. Without a lot of reading, students with dull eyes can only be cultivated. The disadvantages of Chinese education in middle schools have aroused the concern of many people of insight. These disadvantages are mainly reflected in: First, under the unified and standardized college entrance examination enrollment model, normal middle school education has been replaced by repeated training. Originally interesting and beautiful words were artificially divided into rigid topics, rigid theorems and standard answers, which were bloody and completely stifled students' interest in learning Chinese. Secondly, because the training closely revolves around the college entrance examination, the reading volume of middle school students is pitiful now. I don't read anything except a few articles in Chinese textbooks. I once investigated how many liberal arts students have read A Dream of Red Mansions in a famous middle school-dozens of students are admitted to Tsinghua of Peking University every year-and few people raised their hands. The only student who is said to have read it completely, I asked her what the general program of A Dream of Red Mansions was, but she was tongue-tied. Thirdly, the moral guidance and promotion function of middle school Chinese education in the process of students' growth is weakening. By reading and discussing great literary works, students can have a dialogue with the wise men in the history of human civilization, purify their souls and cultivate humanistic feelings. The effect of this way is much more useful than boring moral preaching. I often see some students with high grades but dull eyes-their eyes are not aura-and I suspect this is because they seldom read great literature that is shocking. Knowing the above disadvantages, you will find that the so-called "mystery" of "thunder rolling" actually has great positive energy in correcting these disadvantages and guiding students to develop correct Chinese learning and reading habits! The proposer hopes that since the middle school takes the exam as the center, it will change the content of the proposition and guide the middle school and students to return to the essence of Chinese education in middle school through the role of the baton of the college entrance examination. Writing a story according to the lyrics is a correction to the false and empty, patterned and routine composition. First of all, it restores the true colors and vivid features of Chinese in the exam. Language is alive, and telling jokes, telling stories and listening to songs are the basic contents of people's lives. Joking can bring people closer, telling stories can bring you closer to your children, and singing can make you feel happy even in foggy days. A person who can't tell jokes, stories and songs must be a person who has no interest in life, and it is difficult to communicate with others, let alone become a leader in an industry-these are the criteria for talent selection in Peking University. What is a strange topic? If I ask you, "When is Su Dongpo's mother's birthday?" Is the really strange question-because no one can answer it. Couplets are a comprehensive evaluation of candidates' Chinese vocabulary, vocabulary level, word organization and collocation ability, and they are the essence of ancient China culture. Joke is an observation and refinement of life, which examines students' resourcefulness and intelligent thinking ability, and also examines whether you have the wit and courage to challenge the authority of Peking University Tsinghua. Writing a story according to the lyrics is originally a rectification of false and empty compositions and stereotyped and routine compositions. Unfortunately, under the current Chinese education environment in middle schools, our students have become less and less able to tell stories, even jokes, let alone couplets, and can only fill in eight-part essays according to the so-called "rules" summarized by teachers and training institutions. Their hearts slowly become dry and pale, and their imagination and creativity are crushed bit by bit like a millstone. The students trained by this model, even if they are admitted to Peking University by virtue of their scores, are also waste talents or even waste wood. Education that turns a blind eye to national cultural treasures is education of shame. Secondly, language and writing are only appearances, and what is reflected behind them is actually the culture of a country and a nation. Many countries in the world attach great importance to the education and protection of national culture. Although American primary school students learn little specific technical knowledge, English and history textbooks are very thick. Students must read a lot of literary works and historical stories-although their history is only over 200 years. German men rarely go out to socialize at night, and they just read fairy tales to their children and listen to music with them when they come home from work. This is in stark contrast to the current situation in China-how many men in China can read Tang poetry with their children when they come home from work? How can a person who doesn't understand national culture expect to cultivate him or her into a pillar of the country and society? Regrettably, our education is making students farther and farther away from the essence of their own nation. In the atmosphere of globalization and internationalization, students know Harry Potter, but they don't know Sanjie Liu. He can recite elizabeth barrett browning's sonnets fluently, but he is not worthy of a simple couplet; I can skillfully play johann sebastian bach's works, but I can't understand Zhuang folk songs-those are also beautiful melodies. A person who only recites foreign classics but turns a blind eye to the cultural treasures of his own nation is sad and shameful in the soul. Similarly, an education that only teaches students to recite foreign classics but turns a blind eye to the cultural treasures of their own nation is a sad and shameful education. Why can't jokes and stories belonging to Balinese enter the examination questions? Third, literature is the knowledge of life. Any great literary work handed down from generation to generation must profoundly reflect people's daily social life and spiritual world at that time-right at our hand. In addition, folk literature and folklore are also important parts of literature and extremely precious academic research materials. Why should we teach students everything? Why can't jokes and stories, the so-called chin beauty, enter the classroom, exams and students' field of vision? We must never use a unified framework to limit students' thinking and imagination, telling students that there can only be one answer to a question, and there is only one choice in the world-people's potential is infinite. Who knows what kind of person they will become in the future and what kind of person they will not become? China has attached great importance to talent selection since ancient times, and the imperial examination system is known as "the grand ceremony of talent training". The college entrance examination is an extremely serious matter. Although it is optional, the proposer also shoulders great responsibilities, and it is impossible to make some brain teasers to embarrass students at will. On the surface, this seems to be a "thunder problem" and a "god problem". In fact, there is great meaning behind it, so we must not treat it lightly.
