【新唐人2013年04月13日讯】香港高考通识教育科考题，要求考生评论香港民众悼念1989年“六四天安门事件”，和香港泛民议员“议会拉布”抗议，考题还要求学生解释香港人参与六四事件烛光晚会等活动的原因。香港很多学者表示，让政治事件入题是一件好事，可以让学生有更多机会认识政治。但是也有不少考生担心自己的政治立场和评分与老师不同、不符合“官方立场”的表现，恐怕会有不好的成绩。
“请解释香港民众悼念1989年六四天安门事件、和香港泛民议员‘议会拉布’抗议”。这是今年香港高考通识教育科的考题。
今年是香港新高中学制下，第二年举行的中学文凭考试。这次通识科考试，分全部题目必答的卷一和选答的卷二。
卷一的考题，要求学生们根据一幅漫画，来解释香港政府对泛民主派提出反对意见的态度，以及泛民议员透过在辩论中，拉布来阻止法案通过，是否损害了香港民众利益。
香港林小姐表示，近期不管是“占领中环”还是泛民争取普选的诉求，在香港特别引起大家的讨论。
香港市民林小姐：“我觉得这个发展很正面，因为有时候很多市民会觉得港府在中共的管制下，可能会有一些忌讳，就不敢提些敏感的问题，这一次我觉得是一个好的开始。”
卷二的考题有三道题目让学生择一回答，并以议论文形式作答。其中一道考题要求学生解释﹕为何香港民众会参与每年举行的“六四事件”悼念晚会、和钓鱼岛抗议日本主权宣称，以及，在2008年“四川汶川地震”发生后的捐款赈灾。
考题还要求学生评论“参与国家大事”，会否加强香港民众对中国的“国民身份认同”。
香港市民熊立：“因为六四这个问题，共产党随便对学生和中国的民主运动进行军事镇压，这是一个很大的错误，让下一代的青年人，能够知道历史的真相，这是一件好事。”
据报导，不少考生在考试结束后说，他们担心答案不符“官方立场”，难以获取高分。
香港学生组织学民思潮发言人张秀贤，在去年（2012年）的通识科目考试获得高分，他接受“英国广播公司”《BBC》采访时表示，香港高考答卷都由两名教师批改，因此他完全不担心评卷员的个人政治取向，能左右考生获取的分数。
另外，香港教育局局长吴克俭也向媒体保证，考生的政治立场不会影响评分。吴克俭说，“通识科着重学生的多元角度去探究议题，然后建立独立个人思考，以及分析事物的能力，而作出持平及合适的判断。只要学生提出合理论据，言之有理，他们可以在不同立场上，都不影响评分过程。”
香港市民林小姐：“我希望是这样子，不然的话，以后像这类的题目，可能就要配合中共那种爱国爱党的意识，那可能很多学生就不敢去真正讲出自己对事件的看法了。”
香港去年首次设立的临时“六四纪念馆”，延续“认识历史．毋忘六四”的精神，向民众讲解八九民运历史，一个半月的时间，吸引了将近二万名市民参观。今年“六四临时纪念馆”设立在“香港城市大学”，展期延长为三个月。
林小姐：“因为六四今年已经是24周年了，而且在近期这几年对六四的讨论也特别多，像很多大陆的民众也特别关注，我知道昨天，六四的临时纪念馆就在城市大学设立在那里，吸引很多香港本地的中学生，听他们讲，城市大学里面也有五分之一的学生，是从大陆来的，我觉得现在这样的消息是越传越广了。”
据了解，今年香港“六四临时纪念馆”展览的主题是﹕“爱国，由真相开始”。

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.’
