Chapter 495: History Repeats Itself
Chapter 495
These six people are all the members of this year's college entrance examination mathematics proposition group.
In the conference room, Gu Lu sat on the main seat, his fingers crossed, and his calm gaze swept over everyone.
The other five people in the mathematical proposition group are all older than Gu Lu, with an average of more than ten years older.
There is even a veteran teacher who has participated in five or six college entrance examination propositions and is about 60 years old.
However, looking at Gu Lu, who was only about twenty-four or five years old while sitting on the main seat, there was no unconvincing emotion in the eyes of the five of them.
The reason is simple.
They know Gu Lu.
The group of old experts downstairs in the dormitory before were mixed with other scientific research circles, so they knew very little about the deeds of Gu Lu, a mathematician.
But they are not the same.
Like Gu Lu, they are mixed in the domestic mathematical circle.
And if you want to talk about who is the hottest person in the entire domestic mathematics circle in the past year or so, it must be Gu Lu!
Who is Gu Lu?
That was the first person of the young generation in the field of mathematics in China.
The sword points to the existence of the next Fields Medal.
In the entire domestic mathematics community, it can be said that Gu Lu's name is already known to everyone.
And it should be an honor for the future Fields Medal winners to serve as the leader of this year's college entrance examination mathematics proposition group.
Because this is probably the rare opportunity in their lives to work with the Filipino Award winners.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Gu Lu's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, pulling the other five people back to reality in their thoughts.
Gu Lu cleared his throat and spoke loudly, "First of all, it's a pleasure to meet you, let me introduce myself, my name is Gu Lu, and I am from the School of Mathematics of Yenching University!"
Gu Lu smiled bitterly, "You are all experts with at least one or two years of experience in college entrance examination propositions, and I am a pure newcomer without any experience in college entrance examination propositions, so I am a little panicked to be honest when I sit in the position of the leader of the college entrance examination mathematics proposition group." β
"But this is the above arrangement, and I can't refuse, so if you have any comments in the later proposition work, you can mention them to me at any time, and I will definitely accept them with an open mind. β
Gu Lu put his attitude very low.
Just like what Gu Lu just said, Gu Lu's experience in mathematical proposition work is completely inferior to the five experts in front of him who have at least two or three years of proposition experience.
So at the beginning, Gu Lu put himself in the right position.
Gu Lu coughed lightly, and then continued, "The proposition work of this year's mathematics paper has been postponed until now, I think you must know what the reason is." β
"Now the decision has been made, that is, to raise the overall difficulty of this year's math papers! What we need to do is to achieve this initiative!"
Gu Lu's words fell, and everyone in the conference room fell into a short silence.
After a full half a minute, the oldest high school teacher slowly spoke, "Professor Gu, raising the overall difficulty of the math paper is a matter that affects the whole body, and the above has really decided to do this?"
Not only the old teacher, but also the rest of the people in the conference room also had worried looks on their faces.
Although the annual college entrance examination receives the most attention and discussion is the Chinese test questions, it is followed by the mathematics paper.
And the college entrance examination mathematics paper has always been a subject that has been criticized by parents and candidates.
Most of them complain that the difficulty of the math paper is too high.
It is not until the difficulty of mathematics papers has been lowered one after another in recent years that there has been a lot less criticism from the outside world.
But now......
It was suddenly decided to increase the overall difficulty of the math paper.
Everyone is very worried that the college entrance examination mathematics test questions will fall into the storm of public opinion again.
However, Gu Lu's attitude was very resolute, "This time the determination of the above is very great, we can just do what we are told above." β
"Okay. The old teacher sighed softly, accepting this fact, "Then Professor Gu, what level of difficulty do we want to raise?"
The old professor's words fell, and everyone looked at Gu Lu in unison.
Everyone is equally curious about this question.
And about this question, Gu Lu already had the answer in his heart, so he replied without hesitation, "One point and five times!"
Gu Lu opened his mouth and reported a number, "This year is the first time, and we can't adjust the difficulty too much at once, so this time we can adjust the difficulty of this year's test questions to one and a half times that of last year." β
Hissββ!
Hearing Gu Lu say this number, everyone gasped in unison.
Last year's exam questions were 1.5 times more difficult!
Although the overall difficulty of the mathematics paper in the college entrance examination last year was not very large, it is still a bit too much for them to directly increase the overall difficulty by one or five times at once.
Because this means that candidates who could have scored 1120 points in last year's mathematics paper may not even get a passing score this year.
This is undoubtedly quite cruel for this year's college entrance examination candidates.
Of course, this is only for those who are in the middle and upper reaches of their math level.
For those senior high school candidates who are at the top of their strength, even if the overall difficulty of the test paper is increased by 1.5 times, they will still get a full score.
But......
Isn't it too inhumane for most candidates!
Everyone looked at Gu Lu's gaze with some hesitation.
On the other hand, Gu Lu didn't seem to notice everyone's gaze, and then said to himself, "I thought about directly increasing the difficulty to twice before, but after thinking about it, let's take it step by step, first increase it to 1.5 times this year, and then double the difficulty next year or the year after!"
What?
Everyone was stunned on the spot.
I didn't expect that one and a half times was high enough, but everyone didn't expect that Gu Lu would plan to soar the difficulty to twice as much in the next few years.
Twice as much......
At that time, for the new high school graduates, getting a passing score will probably be a luxury!
Everyone unanimously mourned for a few seconds for this year's and next year's candidates.
I hope that when they finish math and walk out of the exam room, they can show a little stronger!
"Professor Gu, is this difficulty too high?"
If Gu Lu is like this, then the difficulty of this year's math paper will almost be about the same as that of Uncle Ge's time.
Uncle Ge's era!
The crowd in the conference room had a look of remembrance.
Although Uncle Ge has retired to the rivers and lakes now, the legend of Uncle Ge has been circulating in the rivers and lakes.
That's the existence of killing millions of candidates with the power of one person!
The color changes when you hear it, and it makes you feel cold when you smell it.
It's talking about people like Uncle Ge.
I thought that after Uncle Ge retired from the rivers and lakes, the difficulty of the college entrance examination math paper would no longer be so perverted and difficult.
But now......
Is history repeating itself again?
