Features: Founded in 1928, Jiangsu Qidong High School is one of the first national model high schools and the first batch of four-star schools in Jiangsu Province. Through years of educational practice, Qidong High School has gradually formed its distinctive educational philosophy: "People-oriented, moral education first, solidifying foundations, and fostering individuality." The school adheres to the principle of "Everything for the students, for all students, and all for the students." It employs scientific management and research-driven strategies to enhance its educational quality. Following the philosophy of "Developing individual talents, promoting comprehensive development, and laying a foundation for lifelong learning," the school has made remarkable progress, solidifying its reputation as a first-class modern school with both domestic and international influence.
The ongoing reforms in teaching, curriculum, and examinations have significantly transformed China's college admission system, particularly in the reform of examination content, which now places greater emphasis on students' innovative abilities, practical skills, and overall competence. How to scientifically and effectively explore the new college entrance examination (Gaokao) trends, achieving outstanding results with minimal input to gain maximum educational output, and thereby entering top-tier universities—this is not only the dream of countless students but also the relentless pursuit of educators nationwide.
To address this, our school has once again collaborated with Longmen Publishing House to scientifically plan and publish this comprehensive review series, "Qidong High School Middle School Entrance Examination Full Simulation" and "Qidong High School Gaokao Full Simulation." This series is the first time our school has partnered with Longmen Publishing House, a national-level publisher, to produce a middle and high school review series. We have granted exclusive authorization to Longmen Publishing House to use our registered "Qidong High School" trademark for this publication. This series is the result of the collective effort of all junior and senior high school teachers at our school, who have meticulously crafted it to systematically summarize the intellectual achievements of our educators in teaching and review guidance, especially since the "3X" Gaokao reform and the new curriculum reform. It effectively answers how to scientifically and effectively improve students' knowledge levels and learning abilities under the new curriculum and Gaokao framework. This series aims to promote the broader dissemination and utilization of our school's high-quality educational resources, allowing teachers and students from other schools nationwide to benefit from Qidong High School's "Full Simulation." At the same time, we strive to accumulate practical experience in China's basic education and the ongoing curriculum and examination reforms.
During the actual writing process, the series follows the teaching and review progress of junior and senior high schools, dividing the middle school entrance examination into two rounds and the Gaokao into three rounds.
The "Middle School Entrance Examination Full Simulation" includes six subjects in each round: Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, and Politics. The "Gaokao Full Simulation" includes nine subjects in each round: Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Politics, History, and Geography. The third round also includes two comprehensive volumes: "Arts Comprehensive" and "Science Comprehensive."
In each round, the subject books are divided into two parts: A and B. Part A serves as a comprehensive guide for teachers and students to interpret exam topics and questions, featuring main sections such as "Exam Outline Navigation," "Key Point Analysis," "Question Analysis," "Common Mistakes," and "Gaokao Predictions." Part B is a supplementary "Synchronous Enhancement Training" to accompany Part A.
This series can be considered an invaluable and practical guide for middle and high school entrance examinations. For this revision, we have carefully updated the second edition, incorporating the outstanding achievements from teaching, curriculum, and examination reforms across the country over the past year. The revised second edition reflects the collective wisdom of dozens of our junior and senior high school teachers, who have meticulously compiled, selected, and analyzed a vast number of questions. Through collaborative lesson planning, continuous refinement, and careful integration, the series combines originality with classic content, ensuring that each volume fully meets the requirements of the new middle and high school entrance examinations. We hope that "Qidong High School Middle School Entrance Examination Full Simulation" and "Qidong High School Gaokao Full Simulation" will truly serve as a green passageway for students to successfully enter universities.
Among the three rounds:
- The first round is the "Foundation" phase, organized by chapters or units, with a focus on interpreting key points from the new "Exam Outline" for the middle school entrance examination, supplemented by extensive question analysis.
- The second round is the "Ability" phase, featuring thematic lectures and reinforcement training, primarily aimed at cultivating and enhancing students' comprehensive and applied abilities within subjects, as well as interdisciplinary integration.
- The third round is the "Final Sprint" phase, designed for students to simulate, warm up, and prepare for the Gaokao in April and May. Each volume includes 15 carefully crafted full simulation papers, scientifically constructed to align with the new goals of the middle and high school entrance examinations—exam outline, key points, and questions—providing a zero-distance contact with the 2006 Gaokao.
"Through countless efforts, though arduous, the relentless pursuit finally leads to the golden sands of success." The middle and high school entrance examination questions and predictions selected in this series, along with the original questions created by our teachers, are scientifically and rigorously refined from thousands of potential questions, ensuring their high value. They are authoritative, guiding, and highly targeted, helping students accurately grasp problem-solving patterns, improve their review efficiency, and enhance their exam skills. This is also the aspiration of all the editorial committee members of "Qidong High School Middle School Entrance Examination Full Simulation" and "Qidong High School Gaokao Full Simulation."
