Features: To correctly guide in preparing for the 2006 college entrance examination (Gaokao) general review, we organized renowned senior and advanced-level teachers and university professors to compile this book. The compilers have long been engaged in question-setting and marking work, and have worked in Gaokao guidance for many years, possessing rich teaching and exam-taking experience. They have a keen response ability and unique expression skills in Gaokao exam information, with many of them being discipline leaders in their respective provinces (municipalities). This book is strictly compiled according to the newly promulgated subject-specific Examination Syllabi by the National Education Examination Center of China, staying true to the textbooks yet surpassing them, and integrating the new dynamics of the 2006 Gaokao. The content is rich, covers a broad scope, and is highly beneficial for students' preparation. This book is the supplementary review material for the 2006 Gaokao candidates using the new textbooks and syllabi.
For a long time, we have felt that during the general review stage, candidates urgently need a reference book that can:
- Solidify foundational knowledge while adapting to change;
- Elevate their understanding, mastering problem-solving techniques and improving exam-taking skills;
- 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 promulgated Examination Syllabus, integrating the new characteristics of the 2005 Gaokao question-setting, this book is compiled on the basis of summarizing and absorbing the experience of numerous successful Gaokao review guidance efforts.
2. It firmly grasps the key abilities and knowledge points of each Gaokao subject, emphasizing key areas and resolving difficulties. It helps candidates understand and master a scientific and rational knowledge network, facilitating storage and retrieval, while also proposing scientific and effective review suggestions, highly valuable for reference.
3. By deeply analyzing the characteristics of Gaokao question-setting in recent years (1998–2005), the book summarizes the trends and patterns of question-setting, combining a large number of typical and novel examples to broaden problem-solving perspectives, summarize techniques and methods, and enable candidates to truly achieve comprehensive understanding and the ability to apply knowledge to different scenarios.
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 general review.
5. The book avoids "ocean-of-exercises" tactics and does not clutter its content with complex problems. Instead, it is a compilation of the wisdom and insights of the compiler team, sourced from four areas:
- Long-term teaching practice of the compilers;
- 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 from the strengths of others, demonstrates ingenuity, targets key areas, and emphasizes practicality. The English section is structured into the following modules:
