In the afternoon, after eating, Yang Fan grabbed a physics book and went for a walk on campus. The atmosphere of the training classroom was too heavy, and during the morning exam, the top students seemed to be beaten back to their original shape, and their faces were gloomy.

Either self-taught or in a daze, there is very little communication.

They are still very strangers to each other, and at most they are classmates for a month, and the organizers seem to deliberately make all the students mentally collapse, without introducing themselves and having no other activities.

Yang Fan didn't bother to pay attention to it, it was better to go outside to blow the wind and see how the girl from Aurora High School was developing, and finally came to an evaluation that it was much worse than Xiao Hongye.

On the other hand, the school has opened a temporary office for intensive training, with three main persons in charge and five marking teachers.

For 30 papers, 6-7 people will review them at the same time, and they will have to go through a round of cross-review, and each person will have a workload of 10 copies, which is completely timely.

"It's not a good year this year. The thin teacher Qian didn't stop while talking, and he checked the process of the paper in front of him in one step, ticked and crossed.

Olympiad is a big question, to say the least, it is twenty or thirty steps, the process can be, and naturally you can score.

As soon as the topic opened, several teachers frowned.

Teacher Zhou said: "I understand what Mr. Qian means, there is pressure from above, so I have to follow up this year." ”

China has won two consecutive Olympiads, and the total team score has not won the championship, second the year before last, third last year, and the United States has dominated the first place twice in a row.

Last year, in China, it was not even comparable to the country of kimchi. Everyone understands the love of kimchi people, and it has risen to the height of Asia in an instant.

"We are already No. 1 in Asia, and we are only one step away from No. 1 in the world. The major media in the kimchi country immediately touted it, and as for the dominance of the Olympiad in China for more than ten years, they didn't mention it.

But last year, people just won second, which cannot be denied, and you can imagine how annoyed the top is.

"I am afraid that my grades will be worse this year, and the gold, silver, and bronze medals are still awards, but if I go down again, I ......," said a teacher.

If you go down further, you don't have to mention it, and the Chinese media are embarrassed to publish it, so they will definitely downplay it. However, the face is still lost.

"There's no way, my country is rising too fast, and people are not standing still, it can't be the first every year, there must be ups and downs. ”

"Then you go and explain to the Ministry of Education. ”

This is naturally impossible, how can the leader pay attention to this, just look at the result.

"Our intensive training system has been learned by other countries, and in order to produce results, in the end, it is the resources and student talents that are compared. The population base is there, the talent is definitely not bad, and the resources are ......"

The training system has even been criticized by many Chinese people, as if it is backward. This system has been learned by the United States, and it is better to use it.

The United States has AMC8, AMC10, AMC12, that is, 8-year-old, 10-year-old, 12-year-old Olympiad cascade selection system, the resources are very tilted, and in recent years, there has been a talent blowout, attracting many Asians to join.

In terms of IQ and dexterity, it is definitely the first yellow race, and in the five high school Olympiads in the world, it is often seen that one-third of them are yellow people, which is really laughable.

In the United States, there are often two or three people out of six participants, who are either Chinese or Indian.

"Forget it, let's not mention this beforehand, let's talk about the results of this exam. Teacher Zhou raised the paper in his hand and said, "I have 15 points again, and I wrote two or three steps for the last question, which means to give one point." ”

"I'm about the same, the third question, it's still too difficult. ”

"It seems that the highest level is at this level, and the third question, I got it, and I did it for more than 2 hours. The amount of calculation is large and the difficulty is even greater. ”

"The average score this time should be 10 points, the first question is basically completed, the second question is half, and the third question, needless to say. ”

"Hey, not necessarily. Teacher Qian raised the share in his hand and said, "The first 21 points appeared." ”

As soon as they heard the news, several people immediately came up, swept the answer and nodded, and looked at the name: "Li Jiafan." ”

"I know this student, Beijing No. 4 Middle School, an old Olympiad school, this school has an average of people shortlisted almost every year. ”

Teacher Zhou is a native of Beijing, of course, he pays attention to the local senior high school students, and calls out the background when he reports his name.

"If there is a first, there will be a second, and I am afraid that it will be embarrassing if I catch it all. ”

"I've also read this topic, and it's almost the last question of the International Olympiad, and a few of them are deliberately trying to demoralize students. ”

"Actually, I'm still quite optimistic about the two in Wuzhou, who will be shortlisted just by temporary training, and if there is targeted training, they can go to the next level. ”

"In the end, I still have to score to speak, it doesn't matter if I look good or not. ”

Laughing at each other and arguing a few words, several people returned to their original positions to continue grading, and the second perfect score soon appeared.

An hour later, the cross-review was repeated, and there were three people on the whole team. Li Jiafan, Gao Chengyan, Yang Fan.

"It can be said that as long as you don't make mistakes, this year's gold medal will depend on these three people, so everyone should keep an eye on it. ”

The head teacher, Mr. Zhang, is not responsible for specific teaching, and as a temporary class teacher, he can manage everything. Listening to a few people discussing the difficulty of mathematics, her heart was open.

Teacher Zhou smiled and said, "Teacher Zhang, you are a temporary assistant from Fudan's middle school, and you may not know the doorway inside." ”

"What else can you say?" Mr. Zhang naturally thinks that the judgment is not bad, and the difficulty of the last question of the International Olympiad has been overcome, of course, there is no problem.

"Let Mr. Qian talk about it. He's the captain. Mr. Zhou kicked the ball off.

The Olympiad leads the team, which is naturally a positive and a pair, and the two will follow up on international competitions in the future.

"Lao Zhou is asking me to be a bad guy. Teacher Qian's face was thin, and after a smile, his cheeks seemed to be blowing, "Partial question." These three questions are geometry, pay attention to divergent thinking, and there is algebra below, pay attention to rigorous verification, in fact, it is not a system at all. It's not that good geometry is necessarily good for algebra. ”

"Teacher Qian said well, now there are more and more branches of mathematics, and it is difficult to specialize in three or five subjects. I can say that these three people may not all be shortlisted. Algebra and geometry are not very related in middle school. ”

Thinking of something, Mr. Zhou lowered his voice and said: "Because of this dispute of ideas, the academic community has discussed for half a century who is more profound in mathematics between Mr. Hua Luogeng and Mr. Chern Shiingshen. ”

In the early decades of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there were two major monuments in the Chinese mathematics community, Mr. Hua Luogeng was a household name in China, and Chen Xing was famous all over the world.

The fans of the two sides have been engaged in a war of words for countless years, and they are not convinced by each other.

is also because of the complex identities of the two, the cold war between the country and the treasure island, and the United States, which has involved countless political topics.

"Some people say that the country needs it, so it elevates the status of Hua Lao. ”

"Hmph, why didn't anyone say that Mr. Chen's position was deviated in the early years. ”

Before the discussion could go on, some teachers quarreled about the political identities of the two.

"Don't bring politics into it, that's something we can discuss? We're just talking about academics. "The team leader, Mr. Qian, started a round and had a headache, the international atmosphere of the year was not as cosmopolitan and economically integrated as it is now.
