What was Shaanxi’s performance in this competition? 　　Eight athletes from Shaanxi participated in the competition and won 6 golds and 2 silvers; 5 of them were selected for the **training team. Their overall performance ranked second nationwide, and several of them qualified for admission to Tsinghua University and Peking University. 2. What subjects were tested in the competition? 　　Theory exam: 103 multiple-choice questions to be completed in two and a half hours; the material consists of up to 26 pages of content, mostly focusing on the analysis of professional charts and research findings from academic papers. Practical exams: Lasts an entire day and includes experiments in zoology, botany and ecology, cytogenetics, as well as experiments in biochemistry and molecular biology. 3. What are the requirements for dissecting crucian carp? 　　Part 1: Use 9 arrows to indicate the 9 different parts of the carp’s external structure. Part 2: Provide images of the 5 parts of the fish’s skeleton (ribs, pelvic girdle, pharyngeal teeth, a part of the opercular bone, and gill arches), showing how to separate the skeleton completely from the flesh. 4. How should candidates respond to the heated discussions on the Internet? 　　To say that one can get into Tsinghua or Peking University by \"fishing for fish\", one first needs to have the qualification to participate in such \"fishing\"! I prepared for this for two years, reading more biology books than my own height. This competition, hailed by many participating students as the \"national finals,\" became popular on the internet in a different way. Due to the experiment task in the competition, which involved dissecting crucian carp, the topic of \"Successfully dissecting crucian carp to get admission to Tsinghua or Peking University\" suddenly became very popular.
