Features: Currently, with the further advancement of quality-oriented education, basic education curriculum reform, which embodies fundamentality, comprehensiveness, and practicality as its basic characteristics, has been fully launched. Compared to the original version, the new textbook Physics has significant changes in both form and content. The content of the college entrance examination (Gaokao) also places greater emphasis on fundamentals, application, and focuses on assessing students' subject-specific and comprehensive abilities. To adapt to the evolving educational landscape and better master the new textbook material, we have revised How to Learn High School Physics and updated the content and question types that were not aligned with the new curriculum. We have also added application problems in new contexts to assist a broad readership in their studies. This book retains its original features: it emphasizes the clarification of physics concepts and the analysis of problem-solving processes. Through the arrangement, demonstration, and interpretation of selected examples, as well as summary insights, it provides concrete guidance on problem-solving strategies and learning methods, gradually cultivating students' ability to apply knowledge in real-world scenarios and analyze problems. It is supplemented with targeted exercises, along with reference answers and hints to evaluate learning outcomes. Another feature of this book is: based on the requirements of the new teaching syllabus and Gaokao guidelines, combined with our years of teaching experience and insights, we have organized key, challenging, and skill-focused topics in each chapter. This involves categorizing and analyzing typical difficulties students encounter during their learning process, offering targeted solutions—like "treating the root cause" with precision. It extends thoughtfully on problem-solving methods and ability development, enabling students to generalize and apply knowledge effectively, demonstrating strong practicality. This approach of integrating specific problems with relevant content allows students to learn with focus, addressing their challenges and mastering high school physics. The book is organized according to the content sequence of the new textbook from the People's Education Press, making it a suitable supplementary resource for first and second-year high school students for synchronous learning, as well as a systematic review material for third-year high school students.
