Features: To correctly guide teachers and students in their 2005 college entrance examination (Gaokao) comprehensive review, we organized renowned senior and advanced-level teachers from across the country, as well as university professors, to write this book. The compilers have long been engaged in question-setting and grading work and have worked in Gaokao guidance for many years, possessing rich teaching and examination experience. They have a keen ability to respond to Gaokao information and a unique expressive skill. Many of them are leading figures in their respective subjects in their provinces or municipalities. This book is strictly compiled according to the newly issued examination syllabi for all subjects by the National Education Examination Center of China. It is not detached from the textbooks but goes beyond them, integrating the newest trends of the 2005 Gaokao. The content is rich and covers a broad scope, providing great help to students in their preparation. This book is a supplementary review guide for the 2005 Gaokao candidates using the new textbooks and syllabi.
For a long time, we have felt that during the comprehensive review stage, candidates urgently need a reference book that can:
- Solidify their foundation while adapting to change;
- Elevate their skills by mastering problem-solving techniques and improving examination-taking abilities;
- Stay synchronized with the new trends, changes, and theories of the Gaokao.
To this end, under the specific guidance of the National Education Examination Center, we organized renowned senior teachers from key high schools across the country to compile this book. The book has the following features:
1. Based on the new spirit of the newly issued Examination Syllabus and incorporating the new characteristics of the 2005 Gaokao question-setting, this book is compiled on the basis of summarizing and absorbing the experience of many successful Gaokao review guidance programs.
2. It firmly grasps the key abilities and knowledge points of each subject in the Gaokao, highlighting key areas and resolving difficulties. It helps candidates understand and master a scientific and rational knowledge network, making it easy to store and retrieve information. At the same time, it provides scientific and effective review suggestions, which are highly valuable.
3. By deeply analyzing the characteristics of Gaokao question-setting in recent years (1997-2004), the book summarizes the trends and patterns of question-setting. Combined with a large number of typical and novel examples, it broadens problem-solving perspectives, summarizes techniques and methods, enabling candidates to truly integrate knowledge and apply it flexibly.
4. It provides specific guidance for the typical errors candidates often make in the Gaokao, helping them identify and fill gaps while consolidating existing knowledge, avoiding detours and backtracking during the comprehensive review.
5. The book does not resort to "ocean-like exercises" (excessive practice problems) but is a compilation of the wisdom and insights of the compilers. The sources of this wisdom are fourfold:
- The compilers' long-term teaching practice;
- Outstanding works from major national newspapers and magazines;
- First-class achievements from local teaching research conferences and experience-sharing sessions;
- The crystallization of in-depth research by experts on Gaokao question-setting.
This book draws on the strengths of others, is ingenious and targeted, focusing on practicality. The unit structure of the English subject is designed into the following sections:
