The finals of the National English Knowledge Competition for Middle School Students will consist of a written test in the morning and an oral test in the afternoon.

The written test in the morning lasts for three hours, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., including half an hour of listening.

This English final is obviously to widen the gap. The difficulty of the questions is quite high. The difficulty of the reading comprehension part is close to English CET-6. Some words are used in very unfamiliar ways. Even Qin Ke frowned for a long time.

Only then did I figure out the correct answer, and the essay question was even more difficult. I wanted to talk about my views on the emergence of English education and training courses in today's society.

It is absolutely crazy that a mere high school student should express his opinion on such a social issue.

It is difficult for ordinary high school students to write a well-founded and distinct essay on this topic in Chinese, let alone write it in English.

However, Qin Ke's composition ability has been given long-term guidance by Ning Qingyun, and he is definitely considered a master in this field, not to mention that he himself is better at this type of argumentative essay.

With the English ability of a fourth-year junior high school student and the logical thinking ability of a science student, Qin Ke carefully considered the words and sentences, step by step, starting from the pros and cons in English, and finally completed the composition.

Putting down his pen, Qin Ke breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed less interested in liberal arts than science, because science is very straightforward. Right is right and wrong is wrong. There may be many answer processes, but there must be only one correct result.

But liberal arts are different, especially writing. There is never a standard answer. How to score depends entirely on the judgment and preference of the marking teacher. He can only find ways to use routines, such as idioms, proverbs, complex grammatical sentences, etc. to increase the probability of scoring. Qin

Ke really doesn't like this feeling of not being 100% sure and losing control.

Fortunately, English compositions are graded by three teachers and the average score is used as the final score. If you are really well-written, you will not be judged incorrectly.

After leaving the examination room, she was surrounded by sad-faced candidates. Ning Qingyun looked calm. Qin Ke and her gave a pair of answers. Both of them had the same answer. She was immediately relieved. Only the essay could only be judged by the teacher.

Like it.

In the afternoon, there was a half-hour oral test. Because there were more people, the candidates took turns by drawing lots. Qin Ke got the first round, which started at two o'clock in the afternoon. And Ning Qingyun got the fifth round, which started at four o'clock in the afternoon.

The round at half past one.

Qin Ke walked into the multimedia classroom where the exam was held, which contained thirty separated seats.

After checking that there was no problem with the equipment, Qin Ke put on the headset, took a deep breath, calmed down, secretly encouraged himself, and then clicked "Start Exam".

The oral exam used a remote video conversation. Two female and one male scholars immediately appeared on Qin Ke's screen. At first glance, they were academic experts and professors.

A relatively young female teacher in her thirties first spoke in English and asked Qin Ke to introduce herself for one minute.

Qin Ke finished this link fluently in an authentic American accent. He saw the three scholars looking at each other and seeming to have exchanged some looks. Then a male teacher said in Chinese: "Ouyang Xiu in the Song Dynasty had a very beautiful poem.

The poem is called "Die Lian Hua. How Deep is the Courtyard", you must have heard of it, right?"

Qin Ke was stunned, why did he speak Chinese? To be cautious, he still replied in English: "Yes, I remember."

Thanks to a girlfriend who likes literature and ancient poetry, Qin Ke has compiled all the ancient poetry books (handwritten versions) that may appear on the college entrance examination Chinese language test papers, and there is this song "Butterfly Love Flower"

"How Deep is the Courtyard", Qin Ke also happened to recite it.

The male teacher grinned and said in English: "Very good, please recite this poem in English."

Qin Ke: "..."

Is there any mistake? It's just the finals of the English competition for high school students, and such a big move is used?

The Chinese version of "Die Lian Hua. How Deep is the Courtyard" asked high school students to write from memory, but 90% of them were probably incomplete. Now they are actually required to recite it directly in English? Wait, is there an English version of this poem?

It's called recitation, but it actually requires instant translation, right?

Qin Ke can guarantee that 99.99% of the students participating in the finals across the country will not be able to answer the question.

Fortunately, he is the exceptional 0.01%.

As a high school student with level 4 English major, Qin Ke was really not afraid of this kind of translation. However, he still thought about the best translation grammar and said slowly:

"Deep, deep the courtyard where he is, so deep. (How deep is the courtyard?)"

“It’s veiled by smoke like willows heap on heap.(willows heap on heap,)”

"By curtain on curtain and screen on screen. (The curtain has no weight.)"

"Leaving his saddle and bridle, there he has been. (Leaving his saddle and bridle,)"

"Merry-making, from my tower his trace can't be seen. (The building is so high that Zhangtai Road cannot be seen.)"

"The third moon now, the wind and rain are raging late. (Rain and wind are raging late.)"

"At dusk I bar the gate. (The door covers the dusk,)"

"But I can't bar in spring. (There is no plan to stay in spring.)"

"My tearful eyes ask flowers, but they fail to bring. (My tearful eyes ask flowers, but they fail to bring.)"

"An answer, I see red blooms fly over the swing. (The red blooms fly over the swing.)"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After "Recitation (Translation)" was completed, Qin Ke specifically looked at the ID badge in front of the male teacher. There was no name written on it, but there was an oral interview written on it.

Where the experts come from.

Oh, he turns out to be from Beiyan University. No wonder he targeted me, a future Qingmu student.

The three English teachers on the opposite side of the video were startled at first, and then stood up and applauded.

The male teacher smiled and said in English: "It's amazing. You can translate this poem instantly. You are qualified to be a teaching assistant in the School of Foreign Languages ​​of our school. What, are you interested in coming to our Beiyan University? I guarantee you will be in the second year."

Get your bachelor’s degree and start working on your master’s degree.”

Qin Ke was speechless: "Teacher, the entire oral exam was videotaped, right? Is it really okay for you to openly win over me like this?"

The male teacher said happily: "Hey, this is also a part of listening and speaking in the oral exam. Is it close to reality? Teachers, do you think so?"

The other two female teachers couldn't help but admire her.

Another fifty-year-old female teacher smiled and said in English: "If Xiao Qin really wants to major in English, then our first choice is our Beijing International Studies University. The English major at Beijing International Studies University is a national-level specialty, an A subject, and also a Xia Guo university.

It’s a top foreign language major. Xiao Qin, what do you think of studying English major?”

"Language is nothing more than being used. Applying what you learn is the key. I used to have poor English skills and kept memorizing vocabulary and grammar. Then one day I suddenly realized that I need to use English in my life. Every time I speak Chinese, I

When I think about how to say something in English, I ask classmates for help or look up books myself. Gradually my English gets better and better, and I can even use it to write essays."

"What a saying, 'Put what you have learned into practice'!" The youngest female teacher clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Judging from your fluent spoken English, you have fully demonstrated the true meaning of English learning. It is useless to blindly answer questions and papers. English

First of all, you have to speak up. Once you know how to speak, everything will be solved easily."

The male teacher asked again: "Xiao Qin, what do you think about becoming famous at a young age?"

"Becoming famous at a young age has its pros and cons, and there are many benefits. For example, like now, receiving your special care and guidance has made a qualitative leap in my English level."

Qin Ke's humor made the three teachers laugh again.

"Okay, I don't want to ask anymore."

"Me neither."

"Then let's rate it together."

Soon Qin Ke's screen displayed the oral score: "Congratulations! You got a full score of 100 points! (Congratulations, you got a full score of 100 points!)"

Qin Ke breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the time. Only ten minutes had passed, not thirty minutes at all.

It seems that my ability to translate that poem is enough to prove my speaking proficiency.

In fact, Qin Ke felt that these three teachers just heard his name and knew that he was "Qin Ke" and deliberately teased him. Even if he couldn't answer the translation of the ancient poem, there should be no points deducted for it.

Forget it, I won't care about it after the exam.

A perfect score in the oral language depends on the score in the written test!

However, the final scores of the English finals need to be summarized and reported to the National Organizing Committee by the provincial organizing committee, and then the National Organizing Committee will demarcate the first-class, second-class, and third-class scores based on the overall performance of the candidates. At least

The results will not be available until mid-January. By then, Qin Ke will fly abroad to participate in the international chemistry competition...

After the speaking test, Qin Ke had to leave through a special passage and had no way to meet Ning Qingyun in the waiting room.

Qin Ke thought about it as he walked.

Now that Lime operating system V1.0 has been almost optimized, the remaining small module development work can be completed by Weiguang, while the optimization of the UI still needs to wait for the progress of Ning Qingyun and Qin Xiaoke.

Qin Ke didn't really have much on his hands at the moment. He thought of another mathematical task, which was to publish an academic paper on a famous conjecture in three of the world's top mathematics journals...

He immediately made a decision. He first went to the nearby Yuanzhou University to chat and drink tea with Shi Cunyuan to hear whether such a senior mathematics professor had any good suggestions on the choice of thesis direction.

What's more, last night's insights made Qin Ke understand that life has limits and academics have no limits. There is no need to move forward in such a hurry. It is also very important to occasionally stop and savor life and accompany the people around you who are worthy of cherishing.

And Shi Cunyuan is undoubtedly Qin Ke's most respected teacher, and he belongs to the list of "people worth cherishing".

After sending a text message to Ning Qingyun, informing him of his whereabouts and explaining that he would come back to pick her up when she was about to finish the exam, Qin Ke set off for Yuanzhou University.

Yuanzhou University is only two streets away from the Provincial Cultural and Sports Center. Qin Ke rode a shared bicycle and arrived at Yuanzhou University in less than ten minutes.

Yuanzhou University is an open university, and the security guards are only responsible for maintaining order and security, and will not restrict the entry of outsiders. What's more, Qin Ke also has the pass that Professor Shi Cunyuan applied for for him, which makes it even more unimpeded.

Shi Cunyuan was leading graduate students to do a project, and was a little surprised and surprised to see Qin Ke's arrival. The graduate students he led did not dare to underestimate this high school student in the slightest. He was a big boss who had published papers in top international mathematics journals.

And I can’t even hold back my thesis.

Immediately, a clever graduate student shouted "Qin Shen is here" and ran to bring tea and water to Qin Ke. Even if he couldn't bear to call Qin Shen to save face, he still called "junior brother".

Qin Ke was Shi Cunyuan's named disciple, so he was called this.

Shi Cunyuan glared at his students and said, "What are you doing around Qin Ke? Do you still want to ask him to help you with your project? You are eager for quick success and instant gain all day long and can't concentrate on studying! I will give you the right direction of the project."

You pointed it out, but it has been delayed for more than three months with no results!"

Qin Ke said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, you are very skilled, and the topics you set must be quite difficult. It is impossible to produce results in three months. I am also a little interested, senior brothers and sisters, let me see what it is."

Topic."
