In addition, the questions on the National College Entrance Examination are really simple, so simple that it is estimated that any high school student today can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Let me give you an example. In 1946, BJ University, Tsinghua University and Nankai University The Chinese language test questions for the school's joint admissions are extremely simple. There are only two topics, one is a composition: school and society, and the other is to explain the meaning of idioms: just around the corner, make things worse, watch the fire from the other side, and are closely related. "
This can be regarded as an exam. This is not a joke. It simply tarnishes the majesty of the word "examination". It really doesn’t look good at all. If future generations of candidates in Jiangsu and Henan could encounter this question during the college entrance examination, they would laugh their teeth out while sleeping.
Although we had occupied Peiping in July 1949, because New China had not yet been established, and Laochang was still entrenched in the south, northwest, and southwest of the Yangtze River, there were still many remnant enemies that had not been eliminated. At that time, our energy was mainly focused on In terms of military and economic recovery, coupled with insufficient manpower and inadequate education, colleges and universities can only be allowed to continue to conduct separate enrollment according to the previous method.
In 1950, when the People's Republic of China was founded, except for a few remote areas such as XZ, most of the areas had been occupied. However, various difficulties were looming before us. For example, in the restoration of people's livelihood and economy in the newly occupied areas, the government still asked local people to The government organized joint admissions for colleges and universities in the same area...
In 1951, the domestic situation finally stabilized a lot. Most areas were already stable. The country also took the college entrance examination to its heart. However, because the college entrance examination had not been held for ten years, for the sake of safety, we wanted to avoid the first college entrance examination in New China. There was a loophole, so the country conducted a unified enrollment in the country's major administrative regions such as North China, Northeast China, and South China, which was regarded as a preview of the first college entrance examination in New China.
In 1952, the country officially unified enrollment, and New China's first college entrance examination finally took the stage.
On June 12, 1952, the Ministry of Education of the Central People's Government issued the "Regulations on the Summer Recruitment of New Students in Colleges and Universities Nationwide in 1952", stipulating that all colleges and universities should implement a unified admissions examination. On July 17, 1952, the National Higher Education Institutions Admissions Committee compiled and printed the book "Admission Guidelines", in which the "National Higher Education Institutions 1952 Summer Unified Admissions Brochure" specified that the registration dates were tentatively scheduled for August 6, 7, and 8. Three days, each major administrative region can advance or postpone the process according to specific circumstances.
Regulations for the first college entrance examination: All fresh graduates should register collectively as much as possible. There are two types of application options: departmental application and school application. The way to fill in the application is to first enter the department and then the school. You can fill in 3 department choices, and each department can fill in 5 college choices. All three department choices should be filled in, and the five school choices after each department choice should be filled in as much as possible. School applications can be filled in for schools in the local district or outside the district, but schools outside the district must not exceed 1/3 of the total number of school applications. In addition, there is a "Guidance Choice" column, which is used to assign candidates to candidates in the appropriate department at the discretion of the Admissions Committee when admission to the three department choices is not possible.
The examination took place on August 15, 16, and 17, 1952. During these three days, the first national unified college entrance examination in New China was held. The exam time for each subject is 1 hour and 40 minutes, and there are two exams every half day. The morning exam time is 7:30-9:10 and 9:30-11:10, and the afternoon exam is 2:00-3:40 and 4:00 -5:40.
On the morning of the 15th, there will be tests on Chinese language and mathematics, in the afternoon on chemistry and Chinese and foreign history and geography; on the morning of the 16th, there will be tests on physics and political knowledge, and on the afternoon of the 16th, there will be tests on biology and foreign languages (Russian and English); on the 17th, additional written tests and technical tests will be arranged.
Each candidate must take exams in all eight subjects and apply for colleges (departments) such as grammar, finance and economics. The sum of the scores in the four subjects of politics, foreign affairs, foreign affairs and history accounts for 60%, and the scores in the four subjects of mathematics, science, chemistry and biology account for 40%. %; the subjects and proportions of scores used for admission to colleges (departments) such as science, engineering, agriculture, and medicine are exactly the opposite. For colleges (departments) such as art and physical education, the sum of the scores of the first four subjects accounts for 40% of the total score, the sum of the scores of the last four subjects accounts for 30% of the total score, and the score of the additional examination subjects accounts for 30% of the total score.
For the first time, the college entrance examination will implement a national unified proposition, formulate unified reference answers and scoring standards, and the admissions committees of each major administrative region will organize the examination and mark the papers. The admission process is conducted at BJ, under the auspices of the National College Admissions Committee.
Although this college entrance examination does not have liberal arts and science subjects, it is still reflected in the calculation of the total score. For those who apply for Grammar, Finance and Economics, the sum of the scores in the four subjects of politics, foreign affairs, foreign affairs and history accounts for 60%, and the scores of the four subjects of mathematics, science, chemistry and biology account for 40%; for those who apply for the science, engineering, agriculture and medicine, the scoring ratio is exactly the opposite.
Although there is a college entrance examination system, there are still not many people who can take the college entrance examination. Due to years of war, ordinary people have no chance to study at all. In the early days of the founding of New China, more than 80% of our country's population were illiterate and could not read. Even fewer people go to college after completing these 8 subjects.
The number of applicants that year was only 73,000, while the number of college admissions was 66,400, with an admission rate of 91%, the highest admission rate in history.
As the first college entrance examination in New China, the announcement of the results was particularly ceremonial. In September of that year, the admission list began to be announced nationwide through newspapers, and it was also published on the "Outside" page of the "People's Daily". It can be said that these candidates have been given enough opportunities.
Last year's college entrance examination was the same as the year before, but this year's college entrance examination seems to be a little different, because this year it seems that there is a penny, science test. In addition to the compulsory exams for national language, political knowledge, and foreign languages (except for some candidates who are exempted from the exam),
Majors in liberal arts, politics and law, finance, sports and art, etc. take exams on history and geography;
Students majoring in science, engineering, agriculture, forestry, and medicine will take exams in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology;
Arts and sports majors are required to take additional exams on relevant professional subjects; finance and economics majors are required to take additional exams on mathematics.
The lion still needs all his strength to beat the rabbit, so Liu Guangqi also worked hard for this exam.
A semester has passed in the blink of an eye, and the time for this year's college entrance examination has been announced as scheduled, from August 15th to 17th. Originally, the summer vacation was when Liu Guangqi worked in the medical clinic, but because of this matter, Liu Guangqi could only go half a day ahead of schedule. Yue took a leave of absence from Mr. Bai and concentrated on studying. Half a month is enough, too little is disrespect for the college entrance examination, too much is lack of confidence in oneself.
Others couldn't help but become nervous when they saw Liu Guangqi being so attentive, although they didn't know what they were nervous about.
"Come on, son, you can definitely do it.
The day will soon come to the college entrance examination. Now Liu Guangqi's college entrance examination is the top priority of the Liu family. If Liu Guangqi can be admitted to college, he will be the first college student in the Liu family and even Liujia Village. It will definitely be a matter of honor for the ancestors. Son.
For this reason, Liu Guangqi's family escorted Liu Guangqi to the examination room early in the morning. Even Lao Liu took a special day off for today. Liu's mother looked at Liu Guangqi who was about to enter the examination room. Although her lips were trembling with excitement, she still Give Liu Guangqi some encouragement.
"Don't worry, everything is under control."
Liu Guangqi's mother looked nervous, so she walked over, hugged her and patted her back. Lao Liu on the side looked at Liu Guangqi and opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he held it back. He just looked at Liu Guangqi eagerly.
"Don't worry, Dad, just wait until I get you the top pick."
Liu Guangqi saw Lao Liu's tangled look and knew that he wanted to encourage him, but he was too embarrassed to talk like a woman. So, he took the initiative to speak.
"Um"
Hearing Liu Guangqi's words, Lao Liu hummed, with a hint of trembling in his voice.
"I'm going in. You all can go back too. You don't have to wait for me here."
Seeing that it was almost time for the exam to start, Liu Guangqi, Liu's parents, Liu's mother, Qin Huairu, Bai Mei, and Chen Xueru, who was holding their child in the distance, waved and then turned around and walked into the examination room with brisk steps.
When Liu Guangqi saw the test questions after the paper was handed out, he knew that he was sure of it. Fortunately, he spent half a month reviewing it. If he had known better, he would have used this time to spend more time with Chen Jiahe. These questions in front of him For Liu Guangqi, it was like Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts, a piece of cake.
After several exams, the only thing that could have an impact on Liu Guangqi was Russian, but it was only a little impact.
