Why did the article "I want to hold your hand" in Shanghai College Entrance Examination get 0?

Provincial marking agencies are cautious about zero-mark compositions, and only in extreme cases such as "plagiarism" and "blank paper" will candidates be given zero-mark compositions. On June 16, the deputy head of a Chinese marking group in Beijing told the media that there are only two situations in which candidates' compositions will be awarded zero points: first, there is white paper or only graffiti, such as the candidates naughty drawing a bamboo or a panda; Second, there are only one or two sentences on the paper, which have nothing to do with the topic at all. For example, if a candidate writes that he ate noodles with dregs sauce in the morning and drank noodle soup in the afternoon, he doesn't say anything about the topic. The head of the composition marking group of Guizhou college entrance examination even told the media that candidates can get two points as long as they draw up a good topic.

In addition to "turning in a blank paper" and "completely digressing", there is also a zero-mark composition that is plagiarism. According to Guangzhou media reports, the head of Guangdong College Entrance Examination Chinese Marking Group has confirmed to the media that examiners will find that candidates plagiarize their compositions every year. Usually, after discovering that the candidate's composition is likely to be plagiarized, the reviewer will compare it with the original text. Only when the coincidence rate exceeds 50% and the structural theme is similar to the original text will it be considered plagiarism. After evaluation by the expert group, these candidates' compositions will be awarded zero points.

According to the "Provisions on the National Unified Examination for Enrollment of Ordinary Colleges and Universities" promulgated by the China Municipal Government of the Ministry of Education, examiners are not allowed to carry answer sheets, marking papers, documents and materials. Out of the workplace, and the marking situation is not allowed to spread ... and communication tools such as mobile phones and pagers are not allowed to be brought into the marking place. " In the publicly reported marking of college entrance examination, there are many descriptions of various security measures: in addition to requiring marking personnel to sign confidentiality agreements and marking papers, marking points in many provinces also use security gates, hand-held scanners and other equipment to check marking personnel, and block the communication of marking places to ensure that marking information will not be leaked. Under these confidentiality measures, it is difficult for the reviewers to risk revealing the content of the zero-mark composition.

At present, under the provincial college entrance examination results query system, candidates can only find the total score of each subject, but can not find the specific score distribution under each subject. Even if candidates apply to check their college entrance examination scores, only the education authorities can check the scanning of the answer sheet and the omission of scores, and candidates cannot check the answer sheet. In other words, if a candidate's composition is awarded a zero score, the candidate himself has no way of knowing it, and it is impossible for the candidate to voluntarily disclose the zero score composition.

Due to the strict confidentiality system of marking the college entrance examination, the public can't really see those biased compositions. However, those "extreme" compositions do not necessarily mean zero in the evaluation system of middle school education in China. In 2009, a senior two student in a key middle school in Hubei Province wrote an article "Picking on the School and the Education System", which was called "giving up on yourself" by the class teacher and asked him to change classes. Even for such a composition, the Chinese teacher gave him 25 points. In addition, in an activity organized by the media for celebrities to write college entrance examination compositions on the same topic, a writer's composition was evaluated as "satire" by a senior teacher who had many experiences in marking college entrance examinations, and it was not worth learning. This composition also got an average score of 28.3 points from the reviewers.

In fact, the "zero-score composition for college entrance examination" was not written by candidates, but mostly by netizens. According to media reports, the author of the above-mentioned "Anhui College Entrance Examination Zero Composition" is Jiang Xiaoyu, a Beijing media person. There is also 20 13 "Anhui College Entrance Examination Zero Composition" "Why? Why not? Chen Jufei, the author who was admitted to Peking University with "zero composition", is actually a Chinese teacher in a middle school in Anhui Province. In an interview with the media, Chen Jufei said that he would be invited to write a "zero-mark college entrance examination composition" every year for entertainment. He Caitou once said in Zhihu that the so-called zero-mark composition was "written by us writers online for fun, and then spread with the title" This composition can only get zero marks in the college entrance examination ". In addition to playing with tickets, many people criticize the shortcomings of the times and express their personal views on social chaos in the name of college entrance examination compositions. 20 1 1 After the college entrance examination, an article entitled "Time is running out-can't you go to college?" "Anhui College Entrance Examination Zero Composition" is widely circulated on social networks.

Choosing a suitable "work and rest time" is particularly important for these "masterpieces": the time just after the college entrance examination is obviously a good "work and rest time". For example, the above-mentioned "Time is running out-can't you go to college?" The release time is 20 1 1 a few hours after the end of the college entrance examination on June 8. Coincidentally, 20 1 1, "Zero Composition for College Entrance Examination in Sichuan" and "There is always an expectation" were published on June 9, 201/year; 20 10 The most popular "Zero Composition for College Entrance Examination" and "Fire" were published on June 9, 20 10.

The editor-in-chief also said that because the first book sold well, the publishing house went on to publish four collections of Zero-Point Compositions in the same series, most of which were fabricated by invited writers.
