Features: The new curriculum standards have significantly reduced the difficulty in assessing students' knowledge points. The new examination reform has placed greater emphasis on the process of assessing and evaluating students' knowledge mastery and thinking abilities. In other words, in the college entrance exams (Gaokao) and high school entrance exams (Zhongkao), the scoring criteria no longer simply evaluate the correctness of answers but rather focus on the standardization and completeness of the problem-solving process, awarding points based on the steps taken. This change in the evaluation system undoubtedly presents new challenges for our teaching and preparation: How can teachers cultivate students' thinking abilities and the habit of solving problems in a standardized and complete manner? How can students learn and master standardized problem-solving methods? To meet this demand, we have organized renowned senior and advanced-level teachers from famous high schools across the country to compile this series of "New Question Classics."
The compilation basis of the series:
1. The series fully incorporates the latest achievements in curriculum and examination reforms, is based on the new curriculum standards textbook by the People's Education Press, and is synchronized with the knowledge points of the textbook, fully reflecting the spirit of the new curriculum standards.
2. It closely follows the trends and scoring principles of college entrance exams and high school entrance exams in a practical and solid manner. The series creates a substantial number of new and dynamic questions based on the key, difficult, and exam-oriented points in teaching. It rigorously selects and analyzes classic questions from the past five years of Gaokao and Zhongkao across various provinces and cities, providing teachers with a question bank for teaching and students with a model for learning and mastering standardized problem-solving methods.
3. Based on the subjects tested in Gaokao and Zhongkao, we have first published the "Chinese Problem-Solving Dictionary," "Mathematics Problem-Solving Dictionary," "English Problem-Solving Dictionary," "Physics Problem-Solving Dictionary," "Chemistry Problem-Solving Dictionary," "Physics Experiment Problem-Solving Dictionary," and "Chemistry Experiment Problem-Solving Dictionary," covering all key subjects in Gaokao and Zhongkao.
The basic features of the series:
1. Organized according to the knowledge points of the textbook, linking the knowledge system with classic problem-solving formats. In terms of functionality, it embodies the characteristics of a quick-reference tool.
2. Fully incorporates the strengths of similar books while refining and innovating: whether in the design of the question pages or the selection of question types, it reflects the vibrant characteristics of the modern era; whether in the analysis of problem-solving approaches or the arrangement of each step, it adheres to precise and targeted compilation principles.
3. A standardized, standardized, and complete problem-solving process not only accurately analyzes key, difficult, and high-frequency exam points but also enables students to learn problem-solving methods and techniques, helping them achieve: steady and accurate problem-solving at every step. Even when facing difficult, flexible, or comprehensive questions, they can still score high. The "Note" section helps students avoid potential pitfalls in their thinking and problem-solving processes.
The functions and usage methods of the series:
Due to its standardized, standardized, complete, and accurate problem-solving processes, the series possesses excellent qualities as a learning tool. For teachers, providing specific guidance to individual students is not difficult. However, what students truly need is systematic, comprehensive, and continuous guidance. Only through this opportunity can they leverage their initiative and strengths to learn methods, master knowledge, and achieve progress on their own. This series can provide such a platform for both teachers and students. It is also an excellent question bank for setting questions and an important reference for teaching.
For students, especially those at moderate and above-average levels, improving scores—even by 3 to 5 points—requires long-term effort. Most often, they lose points not because they lack knowledge but because their problem-solving steps are incomplete or non-standard. The "New Question Classics" can help students enhance this ability.
For parents, it is challenging to assist children during the middle school years, making the cultivation of self-learning skills particularly important. The "New Question Classics" has excellent toolbook qualities, allowing children to achieve twice the results with half the effort through independent reading. In reality, an excellent teaching guide is a powerful tool for learning. When used correctly and consistently, it not only helps students overcome many learning challenges but also cultivates lifelong beneficial learning habits and thinking methods.
