Chapter 101: Contest Completed (Part I)
At 8:40, all the contestants officially began to enter. www.biquge.info At the entrance of the venue, there is a table with a shuffling machine on the table, and each player can shuffle and draw a card by himself. At one side of the table, four guards stood guard.
Luo Tian and his group were the first to enter the examination room was Ye Xiaoman and Mei Ling, and after drawing cards, the two went straight to their own examination room. When it was Luo Tian's turn, he didn't shuffle the cards, but just randomly drew a "No. 2 examination room, seat 15". Luo Tian followed the instructions of the card and quickly rushed to his examination room.
The card drawn by the contestants is naturally not just a simple function of choosing the examination room, there is a fingerprint entry device on the card paper, and after entering their fingerprints, this card is the admission ticket of the contestants. After entering the No. 2 examination room, Luo Tian found his seat and sat down, inserting the card into the upper left corner of the table, which means that he is ready for the exam.
The final exam does not require the contestants to prepare their own stationery, all the stationery has been prepared in the examination table, after the candidate inserts the identity card into the examination table, the examination table will naturally open and pop up the complete set of stationery required for the exam. Candidates just need to sit in the exam room and wait for the exam to begin.
At 8:50, after all the candidates in the examination room had been seated, the invigilators also began to enter the examination room. There are five invigilators, two foreign volunteers, two teachers from the organizing committee and one social volunteer in each examination room. They officially entered the examination room with the exam papers.
There is no such thing as an early audition for the written test of the final, because the written test for the final does not test listening at all. At 8:55, the five invigilators began to unpack the test papers together. The test papers have been packed in advance, and there are a total of five small bags in the large document bag, and each small bag has five points of test papers, corresponding to the five columns in the examination room, with a total of 25 points of test papers.
The number of test questions is not a lot, and the exam time is also very tight, and after the exam papers are handed out, the exam is officially starting, and there will be no time to review the questions in advance. The examination time is two and a half hours, a total of 40 test papers are bound into a book, and the amount of questions is very large, which tests the real level of the contestants.
In fact, the final exam does not require contestants to completely answer these 40 test papers, and these 40 test papers are ranked from low to high in difficulty, and the score is of course from low to high. Candidates are free to choose the questions to answer, and the test score is the sum of all the test results.
The level of the contestants who can enter the finals will not be too low, and the difficulty division of the test questions over the years has not changed much. Of course, Luo Tian has never cared about the competition questions, but he also knows the difficulty criteria of the test questions, so he directly chooses to work from the back to the front.
Luo Tian didn't care about the others, he turned over the test question book and answered the questions directly from back to front. The difficulty of the test questions was not a problem for Luo Tian at all, Luo Tian kept writing quickly, and the test question book kept turning forward. In the silent examination room, the sound and frequency of Luo Tian turning the test paper were particularly eye-catching.
For Luo Tian, the first in the preliminary round, the organizing committee of the competition still has some secret concerns. The current English competition for college students is originally for the selection of top English talents, not ordinary talents. The real top English talents are to be taken internationally, and there is no need for ordinary people to participate.
Although the country wants to weaken the influence of English, it is undeniable that the country still needs high-end English talents. In the past, it was a wide net to teach English on a large scale, which was not only ineffective, but also wasted students' learning time and learning talent. Not everyone will need a high level of English proficiency in the future, and the universal brainwave language recognizer is enough for the average person to use on a daily basis.
If the student's time for learning English is spent on other aspects of learning, the value will definitely be greater than that of learning English. Nowadays, except for students who are really interested in studying foreign languages, everyone else does not learn English from an early age. English has become an elective subject from primary school.
Of course, the 100 contestants who are now taking the exam at the venue can definitely be regarded as the top group of Chinese college students with the best English proficiency. Each of them now has the level to go abroad to teach English in high school and even college. English has gradually become the exclusive domain of high-end talents, and has gradually withdrawn from the daily life of ordinary people.
In the last decade or so, the overall international situation has been fairly stable, but all kinds of invisible struggles have begun to float on the surface. To take the simplest example, in the decade between 2025 and 2035, more than 30 languages will disappear from the world.
A new type of cultural colonization has begun to spread around the world, and the official languages of most countries in Africa, which are the hardest hit areas, have become English and Chinese. Sixty-five percent of Africans speak English, 25 percent Chinese, 9 percent of other international languages, and less than one percent of Africans retain their original language.
What does this mean, this means that the original ideological and cultural system of the whole of Africa has basically been completely destroyed by foreign forces, and the whole of Africa has been completely colonized by foreign forces ideologically. When a country or a nation is completely colonized by other countries at the ideological and cultural level, it can be declared that the country and nation have been completely destroyed.
As a participant in the disgraceful cultural colonization, China is well aware of the power of cultural colonization. Although China has begun to vigorously carry out reform and rectification at home, it is difficult to return to the accumulation of mistakes, and the wrong policies in the past have led to China's cultural development being very passive, and the spread of cultural influence in the international arena has been jointly suppressed by various countries.
The power of the state is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and although there are a large number of entangled interest groups that are obstructing the implementation of reforms, a large number of influential groups that are entangled with foreign countries have been directly uprooted by the supreme leader by thunderous means. Although many ordinary people in the country have been provoked, sometimes it is more effective to strike hard than to deal with it gently.
The overall suppression of the English language is only one of the important means of national cultural reform, and there are various changes in all aspects involving cultural thought, whether explicit or implicit. Thunderous means can be used to reform the superstructure, but for the reform of the broad grassroots, it must be carried out by gentle means of "moistening things silently".
At half past eleven, a crisp bell rang in the entire examination room, and the written examination of the final was officially over. In the four examination rooms, all the candidates stopped writing on time, and Luo Tian also stepped on the bell to complete his answer sheet. Completely answering these forty test papers was also a very heavy task for Luo Tian, but he still let him finish them on time.
All contestants must leave the venue immediately after completing the exam, and the invigilator will do the rest. After walking out of the examination room, Luo Tian looked up at the sky, and it was already noon. In the afternoon, there was a more tense oral interview, and all the candidates left the examination room quickly, and Luo Tian was no exception.
