Features: To correctly guide in preparing for the 2006 National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) general review, we organized renowned senior and advanced-level teachers and university professors to write 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 examination experience. They have a keen response ability and unique expression skills in Gaokao examination information, with many of them being discipline leaders in their respective provinces (municipalities). This book is strictly compiled according to the newly promulgated syllabi for all subjects by the National Education Examination Center of China, staying true to the textbooks while also surpassing them, and integrating the latest trends of the 2006 Gaokao. The content is rich, comprehensive, and 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 to adapt to changing situations;
- Elevate their understanding, mastering problem-solving techniques and improving examination 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 newly promulgated syllabus, this book integrates the new characteristics of the 2005 Gaokao question-setting, compiled on the basis of summarizing and absorbing the experiences of many successful Gaokao review guidance.
2. It firmly grasps the key abilities and knowledge points of each Gaokao subject, 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. Additionally, it provides scientific and effective review suggestions, highly valuable for reference.
3. By deeply analyzing the question-setting characteristics of the Gaokao in recent years (1998–2005), the book summarizes the trends and patterns of question-setting. Combined with a large number of typical and innovative 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 gaps and reinforce existing knowledge while avoiding detours and backtracking during general review.
5. The book avoids "ocean-of-problems" tactics and does not fill its content with complex exercises. 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 experts' in-depth research on Gaokao question-setting.
This book draws on the strengths of others, demonstrates ingenuity, targets key issues, and emphasizes practicality. The English unit structure is designed into the following sections:
[Explanation of Question-Setting Trends]
- Provides a detailed analysis of the hot topics in Gaokao question-setting in recent years (including 2005), summarizes frequently tested content, explores the mysteries of question-setting, and predicts future trends.
[Targeted Review Suggestions]
- By exploring question-setting trends, key points, and difficult areas, it offers candidates reasonable review methods to achieve twice the result with half the effort, ensuring confidence.
[Knowledge Network Chart]
- Systematically organizes the foundational and important knowledge points of the unit in the form of charts and networks.
[Key Point Scan]
- Captures the knowledge points, key areas, and difficult areas frequently tested in the Gaokao over the years, summarizing and elaborating them concisely, clearly, and comprehensively.
[Problem Summary]
- Isolates important issues in the unit for in-depth explanation and provides problem-solving tips, (developing readers' ability to apply knowledge flexibly).
[Guidance on Methods and Principles]
- Explains the problem-solving approaches and methods involved in the unit, helping readers improve their adaptability during examinations.
[Analysis of Typical Examples]
- Focuses on heuristic and interest-sparking principles, with careful "problem-eye" layout, aiding in forming correct problem-solving approaches and mastering techniques.
[Teacher-Reviewed Common Errors]
- Summarizes and categorizes question types prone to errors during learning and examination, with annotations by senior teachers, enabling candidates to fully grasp Gaokao question-setting methods, techniques, and hot topics during general review.
[Connecting Theory to Practice]

[Knowledge and Ability Enhancement Training]
- Carefully designed question types, avoiding an "ocean-of-problems" approach, focusing on practicality, typicality, and heuristic value, aiming to develop students' disciplinary thinking and intuition.
[Innovative Thinking Application]
- Collects new problem-solving approaches, methods, new information, new concepts, and new models in the unit, focusing on cultivating students' innovation in problem-solving.
Additionally, for the more challenging and novel multiple-choice and solution questions in [Collected Simulation Exam Questions], [Knowledge and Ability Enhancement Training], and [Innovative Thinking Application], the book provides detailed answers with solutions or analyses, greatly improving the utilization and effectiveness of the material.
In summary, this book emphasizes the reinforcement of foundational knowledge while also focusing on improving examination skills. It pays attention to the systematicity and organization of knowledge, addresses key and difficult points, summarizes basic methods, and trains comprehensive problem-solving techniques. It is a highly valuable supplementary book rich in knowledge and substance. Candidates using this book during general review will achieve the best results within limited time, elevating their academic performance to a higher level.
