【新唐人2013年04月13日訊】香港高考通識教育科考題，要求考生評論香港民眾悼念1989年「六四天安門事件」，和香港泛民議員「議會拉布」抗議，考題還要求學生解釋香港人參與六四事件燭光晚會等活動的原因。香港很多學者表示，讓政治事件入題是一件好事，可以讓學生有更多機會認識政治。但是也有不少考生擔心自己的政治立場和評分與老師不同、不符合「官方立場」的表現，恐怕會有不好的成績。
「請解釋香港民眾悼念1989年六四天安門事件、和香港泛民議員『議會拉布』抗議」。這是今年香港高考通識教育科的考題。
今年是香港新高中學制下，第二年舉行的中學文憑考試。這次通識科考試，分全部題目必答的卷一和選答的卷二。
卷一的考題，要求學生們根據一幅漫畫，來解釋香港政府對泛民主派提出反對意見的態度，以及泛民議員透過在辯論中，拉布來阻止法案通過，是否損害了香港民眾利益。
香港林小姐表示，近期不管是「佔領中環」還是泛民爭取普選的訴求，在香港特別引起大家的討論。
香港市民林小姐：「我覺得這個發展很正面，因為有時候很多市民會覺得港府在中共的管制下，可能會有一些忌諱，就不敢提些敏感的問題，這一次我覺得是一個好的開始。」
卷二的考題有三道題目讓學生擇一回答，並以議論文形式作答。其中一道考題要求學生解釋﹕為何香港民眾會參與每年舉行的「六四事件」悼念晚會、和釣魚島抗議日本主權宣稱，以及，在2008年「四川汶川地震」發生後的捐款賑災。
考題還要求學生評論「參與國家大事」，會否加強香港民眾對中國的「國民身份認同」。
香港市民熊立：「因為六四這個問題，共產黨隨便對學生和中國的民主運動進行軍事鎮壓，這是一個很大的錯誤，讓下一代的青年人，能夠知道歷史的真相，這是一件好事。」
據報導，不少考生在考試結束後說，他們擔心答案不符「官方立場」，難以獲取高分。
香港學生組織學民思潮發言人張秀賢，在去年（2012年）的通識科目考試獲得高分，他接受「英國廣播公司」《BBC》採訪時表示，香港高考答卷都由兩名教師批改，因此他完全不擔心評卷員的個人政治取向，能左右考生獲取的分數。
另外，香港教育局局長吳克儉也向媒體保證，考生的政治立場不會影響評分。吳克儉說，「通識科著重學生的多元角度去探究議題，然後建立獨立個人思考，以及分析事物的能力，而作出持平及合適的判斷。只要學生提出合理論據，言之有理，他們可以在不同立場上，都不影響評分過程。」
香港市民林小姐：「我希望是這樣子，不然的話，以後像這類的題目，可能就要配合中共那種愛國愛黨的意識，那可能很多學生就不敢去真正講出自己對事件的看法了。」
香港去年首次設立的臨時「六四紀念館」，延續「認識歷史．毋忘六四」的精神，向民眾講解八九民運歷史，一個半月的時間，吸引了將近二萬名市民參觀。今年「六四臨時紀念館」設立在「香港城市大學」，展期延長為三個月。
林小姐：「因為六四今年已經是24週年了，而且在近期這幾年對六四的討論也特別多，像很多大陸的民眾也特別關注，我知道昨天，六四的臨時紀念館就在城市大學設立在那裏，吸引很多香港本地的中學生，聽他們講，城市大學裡面也有五分之一的學生，是從大陸來的，我覺得現在這樣的消息是越傳越廣了。」
據了解，今年香港「六四臨時紀念館」展覽的主題是﹕「愛國，由真相開始」。

Questions on June 4 Massacre Now in Hong Kong College Entrance Exams
A college entrance exam in Hong Kong (HK)
now requires participants to comment on HK
people’s mourning of the June 4 incident.
It also includes questions on the extended debates by HK
Parliament, or filibuster, and participation in candle lit vigils.
Many HK scholars consider that putting
political events into the exam is a good thing.
Students can gain an opportunity to understand politics.
Some participants are worried that they may get lower score
due to their different political stances from those of officials.
HK college entrance exams this year will ask civil studies
questions on mourning the 1989 Tiananmen Square
Massacre, as well as extended parliamentary debates.
Under the new high school system, this is the second year
that HK high school students have to take their diploma exam.
Questions for civil studies are listed under section I,
which are mandatory and section II, which are optional.
In section I, students were asked to explain, based
on a cartoon, the filibuster from the pan-democratic
camp to stop a bill from passing.
Does this damage Hong Kong people’s interests?
Hong Kong resident, Ms. Lin said that the recent
“Occupy Central Hall" and the filibuster from pan
democrats have become hot topics for HK residents.
Miss Lin: “I think this is a positive move. Many of us
feel uneasy under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Therefore, we are afraid to bring up
sensitive subjects. Now, this is a good start.”
In section II, students were required to
comment on three of the following topics;
the HK residents’ participation in the June 4 memorials,
protests of Japan’s sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands;
and disaster relief funds of Sichuan earthquake in 2008.
The exam also required students to review whether
participating in national affairs will strengthen HK
residents’ thoughts as China’s citizens.
HK Resident Xiong Li: “June 4 is a problem, and the CCP
suppressing the democracy movement in China was wrong.
It is a good thing to let the next generation
understand the truth in history.”
According to reports, after taking the exam, many students
were concerned that they might not score highly for
having a different viewpoint than those of officials.
Zhang Xiuxian, spokesman of the Hong Kong students,
said that he had the best score in civil studies in 2012.
He was interviewed by the BBC and was told
that exam papers were graded by two teachers.
Zhang does not believe that different political
viewpoints will affect students’ test scores.
Mr. Eddie Ng, Director of Hong Kong Education
Department, re-assured the media that a student’s
political position will not affect the test scores.
“Civil studies focuses on exploring issues from many angles.
It helps to establish independent thinking, and the ability
to analyze things, and thus to form an appropriate judgment.
As long as students present a reasonable argument, it will
not affect their scores even if they have a different stance.”
Miss Lin: “I hope this is true.
Otherwise, in the future, many students may want
to cater to the CCP’s patriotic consciousness,
and will be afraid to express their views on events.”
Last year, Hong Kong set up a
temporary ‘June 4 Memorial Hall’.
This is for the continuation of the spirit of
“understanding history, and not forgetting June 4.”
This is for the purpose of explaining
the democracy movement in 1989.
It attracted nearly 20,000 people over six weeks.
This year, the temporary June 4 Memorial
Hall will be established in Hong Kong
Metropolitan University for three months.
Miss Lin: “This year will be the 24th anniversary of June 4.
In recent years, discussions about June 4 have become
popular, particularly for people in Mainland China.
Yesterday, I learned that the June 4 temporary memorial
hall would be in the Hong Kong Metropolitan University.
It will attract many local high school students.
I also heard that 20% of students in the
Metropolitan University are from Mainland.
I believe news like June 4 is spreading.”
It learned that the theme of the June 4 exhibition in
2013 will be ‘patriotism starts from learning the truth.’
