Qidong High School, founded in 1928 in Qidong City, Jiangsu Province, is one of the first national model high schools and is renowned as "North Shanghai" due to its location in the Yangtze River Delta, where it enjoys the charm of rivers and seas. After eighty years of growth, it has become a first-class modern school in China with significant international influence, and its name is celebrated across the nation. Qidong High School currently has 99 teaching classes and over 5,600 students. It boasts a strong faculty, including 1 doctoral graduate, 24 master's degree holders, 3 provincial young and middle-aged experts, nearly 100 senior and advanced-level teachers, as well as a large number of provincial and municipal subject leaders and core teachers. The school is equipped with first-class laboratories, libraries, gyms, art halls, observatories, science museums, and multimedia and distance education networks, meeting the needs of students for reading, training, and individual development. In recent years, the school has continuously strengthened exchanges and cooperation with other provinces and internationally, establishing 4 new branches. For many years, the school has adhered to the educational philosophy of "developing individual strengths, promoting comprehensive development, and laying a foundation for lifelong learning," actively implementing quality education with remarkable results. Through long-term educational practice, Qidong High School has gradually formed its distinctive educational style: "putting people first, prioritizing moral education, solidifying foundational knowledge, and fostering individual development"; its guiding principle is "everything for the students, for all students, and for the sake of all students"; and its key strategy is "scientific education and research-driven school development." The school is advancing along the educational approach of "comprehensive education and cultivating specialized talents," achieving new heights step by step, and further enhancing its reputation. A group of distinguished teachers and subject leaders at Qidong High School, in addition to their teaching duties, diligently strengthen educational research and the study of middle and high school examination questions, establishing their own question banks and achieving excellent teaching outcomes.
To sincerely express gratitude to sister schools across the country and meet the aspirations of educators and students, at the kind invitation of the renowned and authoritative scientific publisher (Longmen Bookstore), our school has organized dozens of senior and advanced-level teachers and top coaches from the frontline of teaching. Combining years of teaching experience, especially since the "3X" new college entrance examination reform and the new curriculum reform, we have meticulously planned and compiled this scientific and practical "Qidong High School Homework Series." This marks the first formal collaboration between Qidong High School and a national-level publisher, and we have specially authorized Longmen Bookstore to exclusively use our registered "Qidong High School" trademark for publishing. The collaboration between Qidong High School and Longmen Bookstore in launching this series reflects our school's teaching practices and experience in nurturing top students and addressing learning gaps. We believe it will undoubtedly be favored by a broad readership.
For this edition of the "Qidong High School Homework Series," we have made careful revisions. The revisions are based on the new Teaching Syllabus, Examination Guidelines, and Curriculum Standards, and the design of the series incorporates innovative features, including sub-sections such as [Review and Reinforce], [Classroom Homework], [After-School Homework], and [Olympiad Links]. Additionally, we have boldly innovated in the composition of the exercises, reflecting a fresh, contemporary spirit. The questions are designed to be novel in their intent, structure, context-setting, question phrasing, and open-ended exploration, aligning with the trends of the new round of curriculum, teaching, and examination reforms. This makes the series more suitable for students and schools at different levels. It not only solidifies foundational knowledge but also enhances learning and examination-taking abilities.
During the revision process, we have fully emphasized the following guiding principles and features:
1. Hierarchical and Progressive Question Structure: The questions are carefully designed to accommodate the teaching realities of underdeveloped regions in central and western China and the diverse needs of teachers and students regarding "exercises." Each question is labeled with hollow letters (A, B, C) at the beginning to indicate its approximate difficulty level, facilitating differentiated instruction and improving the effectiveness of homework.
2. Practical and Effective Lesson-Based Design: Unlike traditional teaching aids, this series is designed lesson by lesson, aligning with classroom use, making it highly practical, effective, and easy to implement. It integrates thinking into practice, focusing on solving the key questions of "what to practice" and "how to practice" for each lesson, both in and out of the classroom.
3. Detailed and Standardized Explanations: The answers are thoroughly analyzed and explained, highlighting key knowledge points and basic methods, and where possible, teaching problem-solving techniques. This addresses both "how to solve" and "how to think about solving" the problems, making it suitable for a wide range of students. Additionally, each exercise is marked with a recommended time and scoring criteria, allowing students to work independently and improve their practice quality more effectively. Thus, this series can also serve as a self-assessment tool for students.
4. Innovative and Extraordinary Educational Philosophy: The series fully reflects the requirements of the new round of curriculum and teaching reforms, embodying the educational ideas and philosophies of the new curriculum. It showcases extraordinary thinking. The selection of questions follows the principle of combining "originality and classics," with a focus on developing "ability-based, open-ended, applied, and comprehensive" questions. Each subject book in this revision includes a number of newly created original questions by the authors.
From the perspective of the examination syllabus, key points, and examination questions ("three exams"), this series is a superior supplementary material for students in junior and senior high school, serving as a guide for learning, practice, and examinations.
During the writing and revision process of this series, despite our meticulous efforts and repeated reviews over several months, some errors and omissions may still exist. We sincerely welcome feedback from our readers to help us make timely corrections.
