It is mid-May, less than a month before the 2025 college entrance examination. While fresh students and parents are preparing for the exam nervously, the "college entrance examination peripherals" are also continuing to be popular. Among them, the "test questions" are obviously the part that pays the most attention and has the most "article" to do. For a time, the "top secret" prediction papers were flying all over the sky, and famous teachers and AI were on the battlefield... When it comes to various "problems" methods, candidates should also be corrected and not be disturbed by the complicated statements.

  Can high-priced test papers bet on questions?

  Just step on knowledge points

  "It's not considered leaking questions, right? The 2025 college entrance examination prediction paper has been exposed, come quickly! The exam is like copying the answer." "I bet every year, and I compete for hard strength"... In the sprint stage, a complete set of test questions that can help candidates develop a feel and maintain the test-taking state is essential. Compared with the mock test papers that cost several dozen yuan, some test papers are called "predictions" or even "blocking questions". The price soared to three or four hundred yuan in thick kraft paper bags.

  The reporter found that compared with previous years, this year's test papers also feature pre-sales, limited-time discounts, limited-time sales and other models. An institution said in the live broadcast room that the papers issued for the title will be sold from May, with a discounted price of 298 yuan per set, and the original price will be restored to 398 yuan on May 10, and sales will be stopped on June 1.

  Why is the shipment only in May? The reasons given by the merchant seem quite mysterious, "in order to avoid the 'counter-blocking' of the college entrance examination questions every year, and add new information in March and April to make the counter-blocking questions more accurate." Such a statement invisibly creates an atmosphere of "fighting wits and courage" with the question set, which may be able to "bet" the real college entrance examination questions.

  So, what are the results of these high-priced test papers? In the details of a certain test paper, taking the 2024 college entrance examination real questions as an example, a number of "bet" questions were listed in each subject, but it made people laugh. A mathematical geometry question, the real question is a fivehedral, and the question paper is a triangular pyramid. The question stem and question are different, because both test the "size of the dihedral angle", which is determined to be "climb". A physical understanding answer question only tests the situation of "particles moving spirals in a cylindrical magnetic field" with the real question, and is also regarded as "betting". What is even more exaggerated is that in the papers issued by another institution, a multiple-choice chemical question is also classified as the category of centralized content because it "all involves mutual transformation between substances". Such a broad judgment is obviously far from conventional cognition.

  Li, who has purchased such test papers, told reporters that the number of questions in the test papers, including answer sheets, is quite similar to the formal test papers, and mainly provides a "pre-test feeling". If you have energy, you can practice, but it is not realistic to expect "betting on the original questions". "The original test questions revolve around various changes in the knowledge points. Even if you get the same knowledge point, will the school bet many times after the school mock exam?"

  Big model helps predict?

  A gimmick is a sensation

  In addition to the traditional "famous teacher banning questions" launched by various institutions, the reporter found that the recently popular AI models have also been introduced into the "banning questions" lineup by bloggers on social platforms. The gimmicks and pictures and video titles are very eye-catching.

  "Deepseek's super strong prediction of the entire process of the 2025 college entrance examination questions, using algorithms to defeat the screening of the college entrance examination!" A blogger sighed, "AI is really amazing. It only took 38 seconds to give a complete question-setting content and idea framework, which shocked us!" In the video, she taught everyone to enter instructions, let the AI ​​model automatically generate college entrance examination questions, and talked freely.

  To prove the feasibility of AI questions, the blogger inputs the mathematical questions he generated through software No. 1 with last year's real questions into software No. 2, and lets software No. 2 compare and judge, and gets the conclusion that "the overall similarity is as high as 87.5%.

  At first glance, such a high similarity is amazing, but how did this conclusion come about? When the reporter paused the video screen and looked at the similarity numerical analysis table given by software No. 2, he found that AI completely abandoned the specific questions and only listed the real questions with the generated prediction questions, as well as the general examination direction for comparison. For example, both include basic questions and difficulty questions, mathematical cultural elements, set complex probability and other test points, that is, it is determined to be "extremely similar." Compared with traditional secret papers for titles, the accuracy is even more indescribable.

  But this does not affect the excitement of the bloggers as if they were discovering a new world, and the collection and likes of related posts are also very considerable. Under the post "Feeding Deepseek's college entrance examination math problems in the past five years, getting the 2025 prediction paper", although the blogger's papers are much less difficult than those in the college entrance examination, there are still many voices of "seeking information" in the comments. Judging from the blogger's reply, you either need to follow a private message or apply for joining a group, and some people just post the link. The reporter saw that the "College Entrance Examination Real Questions + Deepseek Predicted 2025 College Entrance Examination Questions" sold by a blogger has sold 111 copies.

  "It is feasible to use AI to assist learning. To make it generate test questions, you need to master the test points thoroughly and try to be as meticulous as possible in the input of instructions." Some netizens commented on this, "If you have this ability, you still need to do questions from AI!"

  The scanned version has become a substitute?

  Pirates for profit

  What's more, they further explored "business opportunities" from all kinds of secret papers for the college entrance examination papers, and launched the "supervision" of the college entrance examination papers, that is, scanning the electronic version to become a "second-dea dealer" for reviewing materials.

  "Most of the issues have been released so far, and all of them will be released in May." The reporter consulted a seller and the other party sent a screenshot of the information, saying that the proof papers issued by more than ten institutions have been uploaded, and the proof papers issued by Wang Huxiong, Tianxing, Zhang Xuefeng and others will be updated one after another. "The package is updated, and you can download it if you hang it up in the future." The seller has received 114 sales.

  The store owner purchases a title paper, scans it as an electronic document, and sells it as a product, and "shipped" it through the network disk. It is even a huge profit to buy electronic documents from other sellers without having to buy paper pledged questions in person, and then resell them at a low price. Consumers only need to pay a few dozen yuan to obtain these materials and print them by themselves. The reporter saw that there are many such information on social platforms, and there are many expressions such as "full information, fast update speed" and "all subjects are available, saving hundreds of dollars" in the comments, which are typical piracy.

  In addition to the "blocking papers" in each edition, there are candidates and parents who are not satisfied with "predictions" and are very moved by some so-called "shortcuts", which leads to falling into the trap of fraudsters. On the eve of the college entrance examination last year, education departments in many places sorted out and summarized fraudulent routines related to the college entrance examination, among which the selling of "college entrance examination questions and answers" was mentioned frequently.

  Criminals use phishing websites to sell so-called "college entrance examination real questions and answers" under the pretext of sending text messages, posting advertisements, pop-ups of web pages, etc. Once clicked, they will ask the victim to pay in the name of "advanced deposit", or send illegal links to the victims in the name of sending "sample questions and test papers" to obtain user information. Candidates must not be lucky and buy so-called answers to the test questions online, giving criminals an opportunity to take advantage of.

  Be more rational when asking for lottery tickets

  Talismans, Wenchang Tower, Confucius Temple sachets... As the college entrance examination is approaching, some cultural and creative life products related to the legend of "maintaining learning" are popular with candidates, and the prices have also risen.

  Some merchants seized the opportunity to launch ghee candles with the words "Golden List" and "Successful in Academic Studies". The reporter saw that the price of such a pair of candles that can burn for about 7 days starts from 40 yuan to hundreds of yuan. Ordinary candles are printed with words such as "Auspiciousness and Good Luck" and can also burn for 7 days. The price of a pair is only 20 or 30 yuan.

  In addition, various products that have nothing to do with the exam themselves are also taking advantage of the momentum to market. On the 100-day countdown to the college entrance examination, a certain beverage brand launched the 2025 college entrance examination limited new product "Zhuangsheng Can", with the big red can printed the image of a cartoon top scholar. There are 12 cans per box, the price is about 60 yuan, and it costs 50 yuan after the discount, with an average of 4 to 5 yuan per can. The ordinary packaging version holds 20 to 24 cans per box. Based on the specifications of 24 cans, the price is about 75 yuan, with an average of 3 yuan per can. After changing the packaging, the price increased by more than one-third.

  Even if there are no ready-made products, just arrange and combine them, they can be called a "customized gift box". A gift pack contains four cans of Coke, Fanta and other beverages. The can is printed with blessings, plus a small plush sunflower and blessing card, which is priced at 49.8 yuan. If you add a small box of 5 pieces of chocolate, plush duck, etc., it will be sold for 79.8 yuan. The reporter looked closely and found that the Weimeis chocolate placed in the gift box is a cocoa butter product, and the 5 pieces on the online shopping platform are priced at only 5 yuan per box.

  "Concentrate on thinking and improve memory" "Employment preparation season, get ahead with high scores"... During the sprint stage, many student health products that focus on "brain replenishment" are also popular. These fish oil and neropharyngeal oil products are packaged as "academic top package", and are known as "successful results", which is very eye-catching. However, in the comment section of some products, when faced with the consultation of "Is it useful?", some buyers said "can't quantify it", while others said, "Just one health care product, what can you expect to do? Just eat it without bad people."

  In fact, as of now, my country has not approved health foods with health care functions such as "brain replenishing" and "memory enhancement". Approved health foods with functions such as "relieving physical fatigue" and "enhancing immunity" are not suitable for brain replenishment, memory enhancement and brain fatigue.
