Chapter 225: Divergent Thinking
There wasn't much to say about the language exam in the morning, it was not much the same as in previous years.
The final essay has undergone a big change, and the test paper gives three questions, and candidates can choose one of them.
The three questions Su Zipeng saw were: 1. Does having the right to choose mean having freedom? 2. Which is more important, morality or law? 3. On the relationship between the individual and the state?
"Wow, that's a very sharp question."
Fortunately, he usually doesn't ignore things outside the window, and he still pays more attention to many social hotspots and current affairs news, and immediately wrote an article on the first topic that he thinks is good.
The afternoon math exam was different from previous years, and the exam time was extended by 20 minutes.
Su Zipeng felt that the previous questions were not very difficult, most of them were linked to the basics, although there were a few big questions with high difficulty, and he was sure to get more than 140 points for the 150-point paper.
However.
Make it to the last page with confidence.
After seeing the three additional questions that were not included in the total score, Su Zipeng was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
……
The exam is over, and the exam paper is handed in.
Su Zipeng walked out of the examination room in a bit of a daze.
I heard a lot of chattering voices:
"How can there be such a question?"
"I don't know how to answer it."
"Although it is not included in the total score, there are still special scores, and you must answer a little better."
……
The family group "love each other as a family".
Su Yun sent a message a little anxiously: "Xiaopeng, are you done with the math test?" What do you think of the test? ”
Su Zipeng: "(crying) I don't know, I feel like my answer is not very good." ”
"Ahh Isn't math your forte, but is it a particularly difficult topic? ”
"The first questions are not difficult, you can take more than 140, and the last three additional questions are a bit head-scratching, especially the one 'please use your own way to prove that 1 + 1 is equal to 2', do you still need to prove this? 1+1 equals 2 is the truth of the universe, and now we are asked to prove this truth. ”
Su Yun was taken aback: "Prove that 1+1 is equal to 2, this ......"
"It's a divergent question, and it's not that hard."
Chen Jin said in the group: "You don't have to use complex formulas and theorems to derive, you can use the counterproof method to solve, you assume that 1+1 is not equal to 2, but equal to 1 or equal to 3, what will happen in this world?" If 1+1=1, then the universe will continue to shrink and dissipate, and eventually shrink to a very small point; If 1+1=3, then the universe will continue to multiply, expand, and become infinitely huge. ”
"So considering the balance of the universe, 1+1 can only equal 2."
"If you use this way of thinking to answer the questions, the 'special score' you get will not be too low."
"Ahh
Su Zipeng patted his head and shouted: "I have entered the misunderstanding, I used a very complicated set of formulas to prove this topic!" I shouldn't get much marks for this question. ”
Chen Jin comforted: "Don't panic, this year's college entrance examination is still based on conventional questions, and there are not many divergent questions, but they are also very important, so please remember that you must not answer questions with conventional ideas, and try to diverge your thinking as much as possible...... The more unexpected, the better. ”
And that's all he can give.
"Well, thank you, brother-in-law!"
Su Zipeng didn't know how his brother-in-law could know so much, but he still felt a lot more enlightened.
……
The next day's comprehensive exam.
After the regular questions are done.
Su Zipeng saw a few more divergent thinking questions attached to the back:
Physics Addendum 1: Archimedes once said, "Give me a fulcrum, and I will be able to pry the earth", assuming you are given a fulcrum, how do you pry the earth?
Physics Add-on 2: Gives you a 1Kg weight object, please use your method to accelerate it to superluminal speed.
Chemistry Addendum 1: "Alchemy" is a technique that alchemists have explored for thousands of years, and now you are given H, O, C, Si, Cu, U, Pb and other common elements, please write three alchemy formulas to refine your own gold.
Creature Addendum 1: Dinosaurs once dominated the planet, but they mysteriously went extinct, give you a laboratory to resurrect dinosaurs, what line of thinking would you take?
"Haha!"
Su Zipeng smiled, it's not difficult, these questions are really not difficult, he knows how to do it.
……
The comprehensive examination is over.
Walk out of the exam room refreshed.
I heard many complaints from middle school students in the same examination room:
"How is it possible for an object to exceed the speed of light? The questioner doesn't even want common sense in physics? ”
"This year's exams are completely confusing."
"The reality is that even if there is a solid fulcrum, the use of a lever will not knock the earth, but will break the earth's crust, unless the lever is particularly thick."
Su Zipeng shook his head.
……
in the family group.
Su Yun couldn't wait to ask: "How about Xiaopeng, I know those additional questions, it's really confusing, how did you answer?" ”
"It's simple, just think big......"
Su Zipeng talked about his own solution ideas, and Su Yun was stunned when he heard it.
Chen Jin asked, "Xiaopeng, how did you answer Physics Plus 2, tell me about your thinking." Chen Jin was curious about how he would answer the second physics question.
How does he manage to accelerate an object to superluminal speed?
"My solution is to put the object in an infinitely long pipe, exclude other factors, and give the object a downward gravitational acceleration, and after about a year, the speed of the object can exceed the speed of light."
Su Yun's eyes widened: "Can you still solve the problem like this?" ”
"Absolutely."
Chen Jin said: "As long as you can do it theoretically according to the preconditions you give, although it is impossible to achieve in reality, but first you have to dare to think, even if it seems very absurd, but we should support these ideas, support some seemingly ridiculous thinking...... This kind of thinking is sometimes really important. ”
"Xiaopeng, I believe you should be able to get a good score for this question."
In this year's college entrance examination, a total of 7~8 divergent thinking questions were prepared in the science-oriented exam.
These additional questions do not count towards the overall score and do not affect the overall score ranking.
But the special score of these questions also adds up to 100 points.
The extra 100 points, in the case of high-scoring students not appearing in batches, only serve as a reference and do not affect their admission to first-class universities.
But if there are too many high-scoring students, first-class universities really can't accommodate them, and the importance of divergent thinking is reflected.
If you have a high regular score, but your ability to think differently is average, only 350 points, then sorry, you can only go to a slightly worse university.
If you have a very high regular score and divergent thinking score, then you will definitely be a talent that various prestigious universities are vying for.
Even if you don't have a high regular score but have a strong ability to think differently, you may be admitted to a prestigious university that appreciates you - every prestigious university has a number of exceptional admission places.
Therefore, the ability to diverge from thinking is very, very important.
In other words, this is a bit unfair to those students with average divergent thinking ability, after all, not everyone has that big brain hole.
But there's no way around it!
What this society needs in the future is people with a certain degree of divergent thinking and strong problem-solving ability.
And this extra 100 special points does not have much impact on the overall score, and if your regular score is extremely high, it still does not affect your admission to a prestigious university...... The Ministry of Education has a special formula to ensure that it is basically fair.
The majority of college entrance examination students have also mostly accepted this change.
……
The last English test is completed.
Millions of college entrance examination students walked out of the examination room with mixed feelings.
Su Zipeng also felt unprecedentedly relaxed.
It's over.
This long race, this fierce competition, is finally coming to an end.
As for the result, he estimated the score and said: "I don't dare to say that Jinghua and Dida, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Fudan University should be able to go in." ”
"Good! Then come to Shanghai to study, and go to college on my sister's side! ”
Su Yun said excitedly, so that there is also a response.
"Let's wait until the admission score comes out."
……
The other side.
Xinghai Technology.
A major new product launch conference is in full swing of preparation and overwhelming publicity, and is about to begin.
