As many of you know, this past weekend was the gaokao (高考), China's brutally long standardized college entrance exam. The test differs from region to region and student to student (depending on whether they have focused on sciences or the humanities), but all students are tested in Chinese, Math, and a foreign language (usually English). All students also choose and answer one essay question from a bank that includes some that are the same nationwide (in addition to some questions that differ locally). Here are this year's national questions. How would you do?
