Chapter 147

If it weren't to increase the difficulty of this year's Gaokao questions, they probably wouldn't have invited so many literary masters to gather together.

At first, he thought he would see the scene of literary men cherishing each other, but he didn't expect more of it to be literary men belittling each other.

If they really started to make a scene, he, a small question-setting group leader caught in the middle, couldn't afford to offend anyone.

Fortunately, Ye Xuan was there, which made the subsequent work of the entire question-setting group incredibly smooth.

Just like the scene in front of them.

"As for the first big question, modern prose reading, does anyone have any thoughts?"

Mr. Li had just finished speaking about the requirements for the first big question of the Gaokao Chinese test, and the discussion in the entire conference room immediately became intense.

"How about choosing 'Our Tailor Shop' for modern prose? It can test students' artistic appreciation of the text……"

"For expository writing, how about this 'Report on the Development of China's Cultural Heritage Undertakings'? It tests students' ability to capture key information……"

"I also have a good one here, 'Can Museums Become a New Coordinate for Tourism Economy'? Why don't we put the two together? We can specifically create a few confusing question stems to increase the difficulty……"

However, as everyone talked and talked, by the time they reached the end, the voices of several experts and scholars became quieter.

At the same time, everyone's gaze looked at Ye Xuan, who was sitting in the main seat.

After all, Ye Xuan had been listening to everyone's discussion and hadn't spoken for a long time.

One of the old professors couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Mr. Ye, do you have any opinions?!"

Ye Xuan, who was called by name, lazily raised his head at this time and casually threw out such a sentence.

"Aren't the questions you're talking about exactly the same as in previous years? Where is there any novelty?!"

As the voice fell, the experts and scholars who had just been discussing intensely looked at each other, and there was confusion in everyone's eyes.

The requirement for setting the Gaokao Chinese questions this year was that the difficulty must be increased.

Then how to increase the difficulty?!

There are only two angles.

On one hand, start by increasing the number of questions.

On the other hand, start by increasing the difficulty of the questions themselves.

This was originally everyone's consistent practice in setting questions, so how did it become unoriginal in Ye Xuan's mouth?

"Then Mr. Ye, what do you mean?"

"Do you have any good ideas?"

"Mr. Ye Xuan, do you have better thoughts?"

……

Seeing the curiosity, confusion, and unwillingness in the eyes of several professors and experts looking at him, Ye Xuan didn't explain immediately, but instead took a USB flash drive out of his pocket and handed it to Mr. Li, the leader of the Gaokao question-setting group in front of him.

"You guys take a look."

As soon as the voice came out, as Mr. Li plugged the USB flash drive into the computer, the projector immediately displayed the questions Ye Xuan had organized.

And at this look, the experts and professors in the entire conference room immediately started discussing as if the pot had exploded.

"Eh?! Can questions be set like this?!"

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"These questions are quite interesting; not to mention students, even teachers find them a bit difficult……"

Looking at everyone's performance, Ye Xuan faintly curled his lips.

Indeed, setting Gaokao questions is not an easy task for the countless people present.

On one hand, it is necessary to show the students' strength, and on the other hand, it is necessary to reflect a certain degree of difficulty.

But for Ye Xuan, that was a piece of cake.

After all, the students of later generations had already rolled into a paste, and Ye Xuan already had a massive sea of questions in his brain.

It not only included the Gaokao questions of each year in later generations, but also many independent recruitment questions from famous schools, as well as some competition questions.

A few days ago, Ye Xuan began to list the questions that fit the scope of this Gaokao Chinese test one by one.

However, many teachers had become accustomed to the difficulty level of previous years' Gaokao questions, and seeing the questions on the projector, they now showed expressions of worry one after another.

"Is it really okay to pull the difficulty up so much all at once?!"

"That's right, if students see such difficult questions, I'm afraid that after the Gaokao ends, they will scold our entire question-setting group to death……"

"If my students encountered such difficult questions, I guess they would be dumbfounded on the spot."

At this time, the gazes of the professors and experts looking at Ye Xuan seemed to be saying that Ye Xuan was clearly a devil!

And Ye Xuan didn't care about everyone's eyes at all, just replied slowly.

"The Gaokao is originally for selecting talent for society; if they can't even answer such questions, doesn't it mean that the students' accumulation is too poor?!"

As the voice fell, everyone in the entire conference room couldn't help but fall into a sudden silence.

"Mr. Ye, you are right."

"Indeed, Mr. Ye, what you said makes sense."

"Then let's follow Mr. Ye Xuan's questions. Mr. Ye Xuan will set the difficult questions, and we will set the simple ones. When the time comes, even if we are scolded, it will be scolding Mr. Ye Xuan, hahaha…"

Seeing that everyone reached a consensus, Mr. Li quickly led everyone into the discussion of the next question stems.

"Then for the most important composition question this time, does anyone have any thoughts?"

As the voice fell, several experts and professors straightened their chests and spoke about the questions they had prepared.

"If we want to increase the difficulty, how about using 'My View on the 450 Gaokao' as the title?"

"Or directly use a selection from Dream of the Red Chamber and let students play freely around the classic?"

"Or take innovation as the topic, we teenagers should be brave in innovation..."

However, as they discussed and discussed, everyone's line of sight looked at Ye Xuan again.

And Ye Xuan also didn't live up to everyone's expectations, directly switching the slides and giving the questions he had prepared.

Ye Xuan already had his own ideas in his heart.

Since he was invited to set the questions, he must leave an unforgettable experience for the students.

Otherwise, wouldn't he have come for nothing?

At this time, the professors and experts off the stage were stunned.

"This... this way of setting questions is simply unprecedented!"

"Not only has the difficulty gone up, but it can also fully test the students' critical thinking ability!"

"I am ashamed of my inferiority! Mr. Ye Xuan's questions are the most suitable..."

At this time, everyone's eyes on Ye Xuan were different.

No wonder he could win the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Just from this unique way of setting questions, one can see that his brain is really easy to use!

For several days in a row, similar scenes were staged every day.

Soon, the leader of the Gaokao question-setting group put together the questions passed by everyone into the paper for this Gaokao Chinese test.

Next is to wait for the approval from above.
