Today is the first day of the 2024 postgraduate examination, and millions of candidates have to complete two subjects today, with the afternoon exam subject being English. Generally speaking, English I for master's degree and English II for master's degree and English II for master's degree are generally more difficult than the latter. So, how difficult are the English test questions this year?Let's hear what the candidates and teachers have to say.
For English 1, there are more candidates who reflect that the test questions are simple. Many people think that the previous questions are very simple, and the word choice and fill-in-the-blank are not even at the high school level. Some candidates even happily said that today is the easiest exam in recent years. For the essay on English 1, it is required to write a letter of introduction to an ancient Chinese scientist, and this topic has become a hot search. Some candidates said that it was difficult to write because there were many ancients in their heads, but none of them were ancient Chinese scientists. Some students did not write at all, but asked each other to search for Chinese scientists on the Internet, and some even more outrageous, directly recommended that they go to the newspapers and TV by themselves. This situation is both poignant and funny, and it seems that it is not only English but also Chinese culture.
English II seems to be considered a bit more difficult than English I. An English secondary school student reported that the time for doing the questions was very tight, and he felt very difficult after reading two articles, and even turned back to the first page to see if he had taken the wrong English 1 test paper. In addition, a World War II candidate said that he scored 70 points last year and did not know if he could score 50 points this year. Another candidate said, "English II, after the test, I saw a lot of people crying, it was really difficult." "There seems to be some general complaints about the difficulty of English II.
In addition to Zhang Heng and Zu Chongzhi, who are the other scientists in ancient China?Let's take a look at some of the important ancient technologists.
Li Bing, whose name is Yuanfu, is a member of the Northern Song Dynasty Ministry of Labor, proficient in water conservancy engineering, and is known as the master of water conservancy engineering in ancient China. He presided over the construction of the famous Dujiangyan Project, one of the world's earliest large-scale water conservancy projects, which still plays an important role in flood control and irrigation.
Guo Shoujing, an astronomer and commander of the Ming Dynasty, was known for his precise astronomical observations and measurements. Guo Shoujing successfully developed the world's first clock full of a whole time mechanism, and is known as the "ancestor of Chinese clocks".
Gu Yi, a scientist and mathematician of the Ming Dynasty, made many significant contributions to the field of mathematics. He is the author of the Book of Arithmetic on the Island, which is an important work on arithmetic and has played a positive role in promoting mathematical research in later generations.
Shen Kuo, a scientist and inventor of the Northern Song Dynasty, was a well-known scholar in Chinese history, specializing in geography and astronomy. Shen Kuo edited Mengxi Writings, which is a masterpiece integrating science, history, culture and other disciplines, which has an important impact on the study of history and culture in later generations.
The above is just a brief introduction to some famous ancient scientists, and the many contributions of ancient Chinese scientists cannot be ignored, and their wisdom and innovative spirit have played an important role in promoting scientific and technological progress.
The difficulty of the English test questions has always been the focus of attention of candidates. In this year's exams, some candidates found English 1 to be relatively easy, while English 2 was more challenging. This difference in difficulty may vary from candidate to candidate, with some master's candidates being able to adapt to the more difficult English II questions, while others may feel more stressed. Regardless of the difficulty, candidates should remain calm and confident during the preparation process, and prepare for the exam with proper preparation planning and a positive mindset.
In general, the postgraduate entrance examination is a selective examination, and the score is not the only criterion, but the overall strength and professionalism of the candidates are more important. English is only one of the test subjects, and although it accounts for a large part of the overall score, it is not the determining factor. Therefore, if candidates encounter some difficulties in English, they do not need to be too anxious, the key is to maintain a positive learning attitude and continue to work hard to prepare for the later professional courses.
Finally, I wish all candidates good results in the next exams and realize their dreams of going to graduate school!
