制约和影响高考政治考核成绩的因素主要有：一是命题对试题难度、理论和实际相结合的考核程度的确定；二是教学中对理论联系实际（主要联系时事政治）原则的贯彻落实情况。1998年高考政治考生成绩下降，固然有试题难度有所提高，考生对基础知识、基本理论的掌握不够扎实，综合 The factors that restrict and affect the performance of political exams for the college entrance examination are: First, the determination of propositions on the difficulty of test questions, the combination of theoretical and practical assessment; and second, the implementation of the principle of linking theory with practice (mainly related to current affairs politics) in teaching. In 1998, the scores of political candidates for college entrance examinations declined, although the difficulty of examinations has been improved, and candidates’ knowledge of basic knowledge and basic theory is not solid enough.
