2026nián年shàng hǎi上海gāo kǎo高考：gèng更kàn zhòng看重sī kǎo思考yǔ与xiàn shí现实
June 7 was the first day of the 2026 Shanghai college entrance exam.
After the exam, education experts analyzed the Chinese and math test papers.
This year’s exam questions shared one common feature: they closely connected textbook knowledge with real-life situations.
In the Chinese exam, the questions paid close attention to science and technology as well as the humanities.
For example, the essay topic, which drew the most attention, asked students to discuss the relationship between technological progress and human imagination.
This not only tested writing ability, but also encouraged students to think about how technology affects daily life.
In the math exam, the questions became more practical.
The test included real-world situations such as environmental protection and factory machines.
Experts said this year’s math exam emphasized “more thinking, less calculation.”
In other words, the questions no longer required students to do complicated rote calculations; instead, they valued logic and depth of thinking, and whether students could use mathematical methods to solve real problems.
In addition, this year’s exam content was very well connected with the textbook.
This reminds students that learning should not rely only on constantly doing practice questions, but should involve truly understanding the basic concepts in the textbook.
These changes show that the college entrance exam is guiding students to look beyond the textbook and pay more attention to the real world.
Learning is not only about getting good grades, but also about developing the ability to think and innovate.
This exam direction is very helpful for young people as they adapt to future social development.
