Features: To reveal the 27-year evolution of the examination setting and its development since the resumption of the unified college entrance examination in China, this series of books aims to support the research on the reform of the college entrance examination's content and format. It provides a thorough summary and study of the achievements in question design since the reform of the "3+X" subject settings. This is to promote the scientificization and modernization of China's examination system. The "Content, Format, and Ability Assessment of the College Entrance Examination" Research Group has specially compiled this series of books. The series has the following characteristics:
1. Experts from the research group have carefully selected thousands of questions set in recent years, especially since 2000, to identify high-quality questions that are instructive for college admissions and secondary school teaching. These questions are accompanied by analysis text, aiming to help readers understand the intentions of the setters at the time.
2. The series strives to select questions that are meaningful in expanding students' thinking. In the analysis and solutions, it focuses on cultivating students' scientific thinking methods. While preserving the original form of the questions, some analyses have been made for individual questions where the scientific rationality was not entirely reasonable. During the compilation process, the research group received active support and enthusiastic suggestions from many experts, question-setters, and other individuals across the country. This not only made the book more rigorous but also enhanced its scientificity, enlightenment, and relevance.
