Chapter 852 Exam Completed
There is nothing wrong with four expressionless teachers standing on the podium, but what the hell is there with only one table under the podium?
When Han Li stood at the door and wondered if he had read the examination room number wrong, one of the four teachers spoke.
"Your name is Han Li, right?"
"Yes, teacher, how do you know my name?"
"That's right, you are the only one in the entire Foreign Languages Department of Yan University who applied for graduate school. For this reason, the school exempted you from the preliminary examination. Do you think it's strange? Okay, don't stand at the door, come in and prepare for the exam."
[Because this postgraduate entrance examination adopts two lines, the preliminary examination and the re-examination, the preliminary examination time of Yan University is in early May, and the preliminary examination time of other schools is different. Candidates can only continue to participate in the re-examination if their scores in the preliminary examination reach a certain score. Therefore, all the candidates who can take the exam today are those who have met the score requirements after the preliminary examination. Only by passing today's re-examination can everyone become a graduate student. 】
"Teacher, am I the only one in this examination room?"
"This year, you are the only one in the Foreign Language Department of Yanda who signed up for the postgraduate entrance examination. The examination papers of different departments are also different, and they cannot be put together for the examination at the same time, so it is okay for you to be the only one in this examination room?"
Han Li was relieved when he heard this. He was confused by the posture of the three-person trial at first, and he really didn't expect it to be this problem, but Han Li's breath of relief was too early.
Because after the examination papers were handed out, these four teachers had nothing to do, so they moved their stools and sat around Han Li to watch him answer the questions. These four people were almost one person in each direction.
It is normal for candidates to be stared at by the invigilator, but the posture of these few people now is not invigilating the teacher at all, but like prison guards guarding prisoners, and Han Li is still enjoying the treatment of guarding extremely vicious and super serious criminals.
This situation made Han Li's eyes jump for a while, but he could only helplessly review the questions while complaining about these incompetent teachers in his heart.
Han Li didn't know the order and questions of the postgraduate entrance examinations for other departments, but the first test paper in front of him was Chinese.
The main question required candidates to translate "Encouragement to Study" by Xunzi, a thinker and writer in the Warring States Period, from ancient Chinese into modern Chinese.
A gentleman said: Learning should never stop. Blue is taken from indigo, but it is bluer than indigo. Ice is made of water, but it is colder than water, and wood is straight in the middle of a rope.
A gentleman is knowledgeable and examines himself every day, so he will know and act without mistakes.
If you don't climb a high mountain, you don't know how high the sky is; if you don't stand by a deep stream, you don't know how thick the earth is.
Han Li read it once and thought about it for a while before answering the questions. This kind of ancient Chinese translation may be a little difficult for people of their time, but it is definitely not too difficult for people like Han Li who like to read books.
What's more, Han Li and He Mi usually don't just play physical games like "The sun sets behind the mountain". The two of them often get together to chat and talk about the past and present.
He Mi is not just a vase with good looks, figure and sex organs, nor is she only good at making cloth, tailoring and playing the piano.
She is best at understanding various classical literature books, and can easily come up with many allusions. Under her leadership, Han Li's understanding of ancient Chinese is also "day by day".
So translating ancient Chinese is not difficult for Han Li. The difficult part is to ensure that the questions are answered within the specified time, and to ensure the accuracy, neat and orderly format, clean and beautiful fonts, and neatness of the paper.
It sounds like nothing, but the original text of Xunzi's "Encouraging Learning" has nearly 2,000 words. If you want to translate it into easy-to-understand modern Chinese, this number must be multiplied at least several times, and you must also ensure time, paper, and fonts. The difficulty has increased several times.
When Han Li finished translating and checking, he found that he had filled twelve pages of paper just translating this "Encouraging Learning".
When he came home from the examination room, Yun Yingying, He Mi and others went home early under the pretext of going to the library to read books, and at this time all the meals were ready.
The second test in the afternoon was political theory. The most scored question was "The New Long March", and the others were political textbook knowledge and current policies and news.
This test was not too difficult for Han Li, thanks to the public class notes that Yun Yingying and the others brought back for him, as well as the news and instructions he copied from the notice board every day. Even so, Han Li filled six pages of paper.
The next morning, the test was English, which was very simple for Han Li. The highest score on the paper was translating a passage from Shakespeare's "Macbeth".
Han Li was not a problem in listening and speaking. During the test, he even discussed the pronunciation of American English and British English with the teacher.
The test in the afternoon was history. How should I put it? There were many comprehensive history questions on the test paper. The main requirement was that the candidates had a wide range of knowledge. You were not required to discuss the problem too deeply, but you had to know what was going on.
When Han Li walked out of the examination room today, he found out that most of the candidates in the department had finished all the exams. Some departments even only took three exams. They had finished the postgraduate entrance examination this morning.
Han Li thought about himself, a candidate for the Foreign Languages Department, and he had to take two more exams tomorrow. What was this? The key point was that he had no reason to explain this matter.
Han Li looked at the classmates who were celebrating and discussing the postgraduate entrance examination papers. After remembering that he had not participated in the preliminary examination, he suddenly felt more balanced. He threw away his long legs and hummed a little tune and went home.
The morning test on the third day was mathematics. The difficulty this time was at least two times higher than that of the college entrance examination. Han Li estimated that his score would be good if he could reach the passing mark of 60 points.
In the afternoon, this was also Han Li's last postgraduate entrance exam, which was the D history comprehensive paper of my country.
The core idea must be maintained in this regard. Just praise as much as you should praise and don't hold back on what should be criticized.
The specific test questions are abbreviated, but Han Li answered all nine papers for this test.
When Han Li walked out of the examination room this time, he saw not only Yun Yingying, He Mi, and Hou Yuhua coming in the distance, but also Principal Wen, Teacher Zhang, and Teacher Niu.
Han Li took two quick steps forward to greet everyone. After some congratulations, humility, and courtesy, with the help of Teacher Zhang, Han Li invited Principal Wen and Teacher Niu to have a meal together.
——
People like Han Li who have taken the postgraduate examination have basically entered a state of semi-freedom. Ninety percent of them still choose to continue hanging out in the library, and six or seven percent of them choose to go home and have a look. Three to four percent of the people choose to socialize and bring like-minded and well-connected people to visit the imperial capital of the country.
Han Li knew that if he got the notice again, he would have to leave his current class and separate from his classmates.
Although everyone is busy during this period, we are still classmates after all. Now we have a small gathering to deepen our relationship. The next time we will get together will probably be in the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
So Han Li, using his current status as class monitor, went to the class the next day and said that he wanted to organize everyone to go out to play on Sunday.
The classmates in the class also knew that if Han Li was admitted to graduate school this time, the relationship between everyone as classmates would come to an end, so when he mentioned this matter and asked for everyone's opinions.
The students in the class expressed their places to go first. Some said to go to the Forbidden City, and some said to go to the Summer Palace. But in the end, the destination was set on the Badaling Great Wall.
Because a classmate said a sentence from the teacher's song "Qingpingle Liupanshan", "If you don't visit the Great Wall, you are not a hero."
So everyone unanimously decided to climb the Great Wall and feel what it was like to be a teacher at that time.
After the location was decided, the others continued to concentrate on their studies, while Han Li returned to his home in Laohudong and became a pawn.
However, before Han Li became a salted fish, he called his mother and reported on his postgraduate entrance examination. He said that he would go to climb the Great Wall with his classmates this Sunday and see if any of his sisters at home wanted to go together. of..
At the same time, Mr. Guan, who lived with Mr. Liu, also learned that Han Li had finished the exam and was talking about it at Liu's house.
"Old Liu, you didn't tell me when Han Li came last time. Now that Han Li has finished his exam, when do you think we can invite him over for a meal?"
"No, you have to focus on studying even after the exam. Frequently asking Han Li to come over will disrupt his study pace."
"Liu Laojiang, what you said is wrong. Only by relaxing properly can you study better. If I didn't want to get ahead of you, I would have asked Ji Aiguo to invite Han Li."
