Because fresh water comes from springs.
"Ask where the pool is so clear and why the running water comes from the source." What is this "water"? It is knowledge, information, negative entropy, something that can change the "pond" of the mind from "mixed" to "clear", and an indispensable and precious resource for progress.
A large part of this "water" comes from textbooks; But if it only comes from textbooks and only circulates between students and textbooks, it is actually a stagnant pool. How can it be "clear"? To truly form living water, there must be other water sources, one of which is extracurricular reading.
Some people think that extracurricular books are not good for homework, but it is actually a big misunderstanding. As long as the content of the book is healthy and there is time to study, extracurricular books are beneficial and harmless. I like reading since I was a child, and I still do. I was deeply impressed by Lu Xun's backbone, Lao She's humor, Yu's liberal arts, Jin Yong's talent and Li Ao's smile. The wonders of the sky, the changes of geology, the transformation of mass and energy, the microscopic exploration and the mystery of life all make me lament the wonder of nature. People's cultural literacy needs to be gradually accumulated, and extracurricular books are a magic weapon to enrich cultural heritage. My Chinese score can be improved, but isn't it because of extracurricular books?
Another "water source" is daily life. Whether it is newspapers, TV, radio, movies, internet, or playing ball games, swimming, traveling and doing housework, there is a lot of knowledge to offer us. I often take things in my life and TV as the material of my composition, which makes my composition more vivid and appealing, and my composition scores have improved accordingly.
I won't let go of my bite.
Remember the final of the European Championship in 2000? When France was 0:/kloc-0: behind Italy, when Italy defended with all its might and France failed again and again, and when everyone-including commentator Huang Jianxiang-agreed that Italy would win, France equalized the score in the last ten seconds and won the championship with a golden ball in extra time.
When watching this game, it happened to be a few days before the college entrance examination. When the French fans in the audience shouted long live, I suddenly understood that temporary gains and losses did not mean anything. As long as you grit your teeth until the last moment, the God of Victory will smile at you.
In football and basketball games, there are not many examples of scoring the winning goal at the last minute; In bowling competitions, you can often see examples of winning by hitting the last two rounds. The arena of life is like a nine-ball game in billiards. Only the person who scores the last goal can win the real victory. The previous blow only laid the foundation for the final victory, and it didn't mean anything in itself.
The same is true of learning. The usual success and mistakes reflect the level at that time, but they can't determine the final success or failure. In the face of past achievements, we should "insist that the castle peak will not relax", win without arrogance and lose with grace, and always maintain a good attitude to meet the final challenge-in the eyes of high school students, it is the college entrance examination.
When I finished the answer sheet on the first day of the college entrance examination and walked out of the examination room, I was almost disheartened; The chemistry test paper was so easy that I clearly answered a blank question wrong. I thought: I used to get points by chemistry, but now I can't get grades at all. I have to take an exam in math and physics the next day, so I'm not sure about these two subjects. But I know that I must score from these two subjects now. So that night, I deliberately read more books on mathematics and physics, and then I relaxed and had a rest.
The math exam is very difficult, but I have been controlling my emotions without excessive anxiety. At noon, I said to myself: I must bite and fight in the afternoon! With the physics test paper, my mood was stable again. I read it through before I began to answer the questions. This time, although the problem is somewhat novel, I hardly encountered any difficulties because I tried my best to analyze it carefully. I feel relaxed when I walk out of the examination room, but I know that the exam is not over yet, so I must not be impetuous. On the third day, when I finally answered all the papers, I took a long breath.
In the end, my physics score was perfect, and I was successfully admitted to Peking University with a total score of 692. Now I realize that the college entrance examination is far from the final challenge, and I still have to grasp my own mentality and take every step in the future. This is also something that latecomers should attach importance to or even attach great importance to.
My pre-test classics
Jiao, Department of Civil Engineering, Tsinghua University, 1997, ranked first in science in Huaibei City, Anhui Province.
The last month before the college entrance examination is the stage of summarizing and sublimating the knowledge learned in senior high school for three years, and it is also the stage of "reading thin books first". At this time, it is useless to do problems blindly or read textbooks only superficially. Next, I will talk about the specific learning methods of several college entrance examination subjects in science.
Chinese focuses on the usual accumulation, and the remaining month seems useless. Actually, it is not. Think about it: Have you memorized all the famous sentences that appeared in the college entrance examination? Can you pronounce all the words that often appear in pronunciation problems accurately? Although these do not account for much, it is most effective to review in this last period. You can look for papers you have done before and study these unremarkable but easy-to-lose items. In addition, you can also focus on training your composition. When I talk about composition training, I don't mean writing a composition, but doing the training of examining questions, putting forward propositions, beginning and ending purposefully. As we all know, argumentative essays are the most frequently tested in the college entrance examination. Faced with a mountain of papers, it is impossible for the marking teacher to read them very carefully. In this case, the title, beginning and end of the composition are particularly important.
Mathematics is a very logical subject. In the general review stage, the best review method is to prove the theorem in the book again. Although some theorems are easy to say, some theorems are too abstruse to be needed in the college entrance examination, as long as you sort them out systematically, the "chain" in your mind will be clearer.
English also focuses on the usual accumulation, so I can only strengthen my writing and reading in the last month or so. Some students only like to make a single choice, which is absolutely unacceptable. The most important part is reading, so I suggest candidates do more reading training. You might as well read the second book of New Concept English. If you have the energy, you can even recite some better articles. In this way, not only reading ability, but also writing ability can be greatly improved. At the same time, it also cultivates a sense of language and has advantages in doing multiple-choice questions. As far as I know, there are quite a few students in Tsinghua who recite new concept English in high school.
Finally, let me talk about some tips before and in the examination room. Most schools have three or four days off before exams. In these days, they should have a full rest, but remember to have some time to study every day. Because some knowledge is easy to forget. You can do some less strenuous exercise these days, which is good for the adjustment of body and mind. The clothes you wear in the college entrance examination must be the most suitable for you. After entering the examination room, you can close your eyes and quickly review some important knowledge points of the subjects to be tested, which makes it easier to get into the state. There can be some slight nervousness during the exam, because moderate nervousness can make people more excited and their brains more active. But if you are too nervous, you must stop writing in time and look out the window, so that you can recover quickly.
Conversations of Top Scholars: My Four Experiences
Wang Bibo, 1999 champion of college entrance examination in Shaanxi Province.
Speaking of preparing for the college entrance examination, I think we should start from two aspects: one is mentality, and the other is knowledge.
Regarding the mentality, I think we should achieve "four hearts": concentration, persistence, happiness and reassurance. I won't elaborate on the first two. As for happiness, I want to look on the bright side. For example, if you learn more knowledge and master a set of methods to do problems, you can still think that I can have the most relaxing holiday after taking the exam, and what a wonderful university life awaits me. Aren't you happy to think about it? As for rest assured, you should understand that it is never too late to start working hard, and you will gain something. Some candidates may worry that their insomnia will affect the next day's exam. Don't worry, my total sleep time for three days of college entrance examination is less than 10 hour, not nothing! After all, we are teenagers, so it won't make much difference to sleep less.
When it comes to knowledge, we must first develop in an all-round way. In the usual exercises and exams, we must spend time to remedy the weak subjects or weaknesses of a certain subject. Secondly, we should keep up with the teacher's review progress. Don't forget that teachers are much more experienced than us. Third, pay attention to textbooks and notes. It is very necessary to return to the textbook before the exam, because it is difficult to solve the problem by leaps and bounds in the last period, but it is easier to organize the knowledge. It will be much better to clear up the knowledge before doing the problem.
I think it is also important to make rational use of simulation questions. You need to take out some simulation problems like hills and do them seriously, while other simulation problems only need to pick out some important problems and problems that you are not sure about. The former is to enhance the "test sense" and the latter is to improve it in a targeted manner. Although the college entrance examination questions are constantly seeking new ideas every year, there are still many unchangeable traditional questions, so it is very important to look at the college entrance examination questions over the years and make it clear. I summed up four experiences about the college entrance examination, and I don't know if it will help you. First, long questions are not difficult. Throughout these years, such examples are numerous. Second, if the problem is not solved, the most difficult question is usually in the middle of the test paper, and the last question is often not the most difficult question, so candidates must do it when they have time; Third, you don't have to finish it. The important thing in the exam is to do all the questions you can do right. On the premise of ensuring the correct rate, I won't finish the math problems in the college entrance examination. As a result, my math score is still the first in the province. With full marks of choice and fill in the blanks, you can't finish writing if you can't finish it. Fourth, in writing, you must write your true feelings, and you don't have to pursue gorgeous rhetoric and neat structure. Expressing your feelings is the first priority. Even if you write an argumentative paper, don't talk empty words and say what you want to say. As long as there is "feelings", the score will not be low, and of course you can't digress.
My learning experience
Ye Yunqing
Entering the high school stage, with the expansion of knowledge and the deepening of learning content, the learning style has also changed greatly compared with junior high school. In order to adapt to high school study, we must have scientific learning methods. Let me talk about my study experience.
First of all, we should cultivate interest in learning, which is the basis of learning well. Usually, you should read more extracurricular books, expand your knowledge, read more books and read good books, so that you will gradually be attracted by the charm of science. I didn't like natural science before, but after reading 100,000 Why's and The Origin of the Universe, I became interested in natural science. I often read books on this subject in the future, and my interest is getting stronger and stronger. After I made many small productions and experiments according to the contents of the book, I was deeply attracted by the charm of natural science. In the process of loving science, my physical and chemical achievements have also made great progress.
Secondly, learning focuses on the classroom, and the effect achieved in the classroom for 45 minutes is unmatched by the family education and training course. Listen carefully in class and pay attention to classroom efficiency. First of all, we should understand the knowledge points the teacher said, and don't think about the problems we don't understand during class. We should mark them and think about them after class. I don't advocate memorizing all the examples given by the teacher. Choose the key and difficult topics, especially the ones that are easy to make mistakes. Of course, in the classroom, teachers sometimes just build a framework of knowledge, and the enrichment of this framework depends on extracurricular activities. As mentioned above, with the interest in knowledge, it will be more colorful to enrich this framework at ordinary times. The "framework" includes the understanding of knowledge, the key and difficult points, the analysis of wrong questions and the supplement of classroom knowledge. Writing these things down and reviewing them in time means that you have consolidated them again and it is much more convenient to review them.
Learning is expensive and doubtful. I think the most important thing in learning is to ask questions. There are roughly two kinds of questions I ask: one is that I can't do it, and the other is that I don't understand the concept clearly. For the first question, I usually don't ask it easily. In other words, I won't do a difficult problem. I still have to think for myself and write down my thoughts, even if I can't find the answer, it will even lead to contradictions. I didn't ask my teachers and classmates until I couldn't solve it. Writing down ideas helps to shorten the time to explain problems to teachers, and teachers can easily point out the fallacies. It can be said that doing one problem is better than doing a hundred. For the second question, I think it is the real question. Unclear understanding of the essentials is undoubtedly the biggest obstacle in learning. I always like to compare new knowledge with old knowledge and solve old problems with new methods to see if they can be solved smoothly. But because I don't understand the new knowledge thoroughly, it is likely to lead to conflicts with the old knowledge. If I can't solve it after thinking, I will ask the teacher. I remember when I was studying uniform circular motion, because I couldn't distinguish the two concepts of instantaneous acceleration and average acceleration, there was a contradiction that the acceleration results of the two methods were different, and I didn't fully understand it until I asked the teacher.
In the process of learning, I think it is also important to use my brain scientifically. After doing one homework for a long time, doing another homework is also a kind of rest. There are many homework in senior three, which is difficult and time is tight. I used this method when I did my homework, and the effect was very good.
Finally, talk about the psychological problems in the exam. I don't advocate cramming for exams. We should review easily, reduce the pressure, read more concepts and think more, and do less exercises. The exam should also be normal, confident, calm, careful and calm. For example, in this final exam, physics was very difficult, and I didn't do well in the exam. But because I kept calm, concentrated and thought carefully about every question, I got the highest score in the class. After the physics exam, I was not affected by the difficulty of the exam, and I played my level normally in the next exam.
In a word, learning is hard work and fun. As long as you work hard, have confidence in yourself and master scientific learning methods, you can learn well.
Learning Chinese well depends on the usual accumulation.
1999 Interview with Liu Fei, a top scientific scholar in Ningxia.
Q: How do you usually learn Chinese? Liu Fei, how many points did you get in the college entrance examination?
A: First of all, I think learning Chinese depends on the usual accumulation. For example, when I was a child, I often read some newspapers and magazines about poetry appreciation, prose and novels under the supervision of my father. In this way, my Chinese has laid a solid foundation. Furthermore, pay attention to Chinese classroom teaching. For science students, it is impossible for us to spend a lot of time reading famous books at the critical stage of review, so it is very important to give full play to our subjective initiative in Chinese class. Take a biography of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru in primary school as an example. Our Chinese teachers express their views by letting students be their own little teachers, which makes our Chinese teaching break away from reciting rules. My total score in the college entrance examination is 679.
Q: How to keep fit?
A: First of all, I am confident. I once said to a classmate with poor academic performance in my class, "Why should I be nervous if I can't get into Tsinghua and Ningda?" . And a few months before the exam, try to adjust your excitement to 9: 00 am-11:00 and 3: 00-5: 00 pm. Take me for example, I insist on taking a lunch break for half an hour every day and go to bed immediately after studying at 10: 30 in the evening.
Q: Excuse me, champion, how to choose good materials to practice?
A: First of all, don't just rely on a lot of extracurricular materials to improve your grades. You must read intensively. When choosing a reference book, we must pay attention to its authority. For example, The Whole Process Learning in Senior High School published by Renmin University of China Press pays attention to the systematization of knowledge points, and provides guidance and training on some difficult problems and key points in many ways. I think it is of great help to the comprehensive review of senior three. At the same time, I also like those characteristic reference books. The so-called characteristics, I think, are originality in the classification and understanding of knowledge. For example, in high school, I came across a set of materials called "Middle School Physical Model Album". I think it focuses on summarizing all kinds of complex physical scenes into a certain type. As long as you master its essence, you can master it by analogy.
English learning methods
Jia Zheng, the top liberal arts scholar in Chongqing in 2000, is now studying in Peking University University of Economics.
First, the sense of language: the sense of language is the most important. The method of "I" is to get the sense of language first, then the words and grammar.
How to cultivate a sense of language? It's very simple, that is, listen more, recite more articles and read aloud … to keep your brain in the English space.
Grammar: Language sense is the foundation and framework, while grammar plays the role of filling the framework, both of which are indispensable.
Find a better reference book, one is enough, be serious and read it carefully. It should be supplemented by a dictionary. Secondly, do your own induction about grammar, and don't rely entirely on grammar books.
Third, listening and speaking: it is conducive to the exercise of grammar and language sense.
Fourth, English problem solving: problem solving is to be done, to be solid, to be clear one question at a time, and to pay attention to the quality of problem solving, so as to get twice the result with half the effort.
Five, about the exam: English questions tend to be longer and longer, and the speed of solving problems should be accelerated. Reading: As it becomes more and more important, the length of articles will be lengthened, the difficulty will increase and the number of articles will increase. Writing: the proportion will also increase, and the score of the topic will also increase, making the English score gradient between students bigger and bigger. Students should be focused and targeted when reviewing.
How to arrange the order of answering questions
Li Qiang, 1999 Tianjin liberal arts champion.
In fact, this is a very important issue, needless to say. Many students may be at a loss because they are too nervous or excited in the college entrance examination. They can't really calm down when answering every question. After writing a few strokes, I feel that I have no idea, and I am eager to do the next one. In the end, I get "no problem", which wastes a lot of precious time for no reason. Therefore, it is the forerunner of the success of the college entrance examination to arrange the order of answering questions reasonably and complete the examination paper confidently and steadily, and everyone of us should pay attention to this.
First of all, you must have a general look at the structure of the test paper, see the distribution of various types of questions and scores, and have a general understanding and comprehensive grasp of the whole test paper, so that you can know fairly well when arranging the order of answering questions and not panic. Although this is a "cliche", please don't "talk often and forget often".
Then start answering questions. There are not many patterns. Just solve them one by one according to the design structure of the whole test paper. It should be noted that some students like to answer questions backwards, that is, from back to front, which is actually not a good habit of answering questions, because the whole test paper structure is arranged by the questioner according to the degree from easy to difficult and the score from small to large, which disrupts the order and will add a lot of trouble to themselves.
In addition, regarding the order of answering questions, I also want to emphasize that it is really necessary to follow the order from simple to difficult, and we must not lose any points that we can get, and put the questions that we are not sure behind and strive for them. But to grasp the question of a degree here, don't ask too many questions first, not more than three at most. Because when you start to do a problem, after all, you already have some ideas. If you look back, some of those ideas may have been forgotten, and some steps were not saved, which invisibly increased a lot of repetitive work and increased the cost of solving problems. And leaving too many questions will make you feel uncertain, and you will feel impatient and frustrated when solving the latter problems. You always feel that it is another "checkpoint" that you can't pass, and you are ready to give up easily, so that "you can't do one question and lose all the papers"; When you can't solve the problem now and do it later, it is often difficult to solve it. Even if you get it, the difficulty will become very high, which will affect your examination of the whole paper. Therefore, although many teachers, as well as many champions, suggest that you put aside the difficult problems first and tackle them later, I want to tell you that the students who are about to enter the college entrance examination are more stable and don't give up the topic easily. Maybe if you are more cautious and calm down, you will have a bright future.
In short, arranging the order of answering questions is an important part of the success of the college entrance examination. I hope my experience and lessons can help everyone.
