Features: The new round of educational reform, curriculum reform, and examination reform has brought significant changes to China's college admission system, especially in the reform of examination content, further emphasizing the assessment of candidates' innovative abilities, practical skills, and comprehensive qualities. How to scientifically and effectively explore the patterns of the new college entrance examination (Gaokao) to achieve the best educational output with the least input, and to secure outstanding Gaokao scores to enter prestigious universities, is not only the dream of countless students but also the constant pursuit of educators nationwide. In response to this, our school has once again collaborated with Longmen Publishing House to scientifically plan and organize a series of comprehensive review books, including the "Qidong Middle School Real Practice for the Middle School Entrance Examination" and the "Qidong Middle School Real Practice for the Gaokao." This series is our first collaboration with the national-level publishing house—Longmen Publishing House—to publish a comprehensive review book for the middle school and high school entrance examinations. This series is meticulously crafted by our teachers, who have created the "Qidong Middle School Educational Miracle," systematically summarizing the intellectual achievements of our school's frontline senior and advanced teachers and gold medal coaches in teaching and review guidance over the years, especially since the "3X" Gaokao reform. It effectively addresses the hot educational issue of how to scientifically and effectively improve students' knowledge and ability levels and exam-taking skills under the new Gaokao system. It will also enable our high-quality educational resources to be more widely promoted and utilized, allowing teachers and students from other schools nationwide to share in the "Real Practice" of Qidong Middle School. At the same time, we will do our best to share practical experiences in China's basic education and the new round of curriculum and examination reforms.
During the actual writing process, the middle school entrance examination is divided into 2 rounds, while the Gaokao is divided into 3 rounds, aligning with the teaching and review progress of junior high and senior high schools. The "Real Practice for the Middle School Entrance Examination" includes 6 subjects in each round: Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, and Politics. The "Real Practice for the Gaokao" includes 9 subjects in each round: Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Politics, History, and Geography, with the third round also including two comprehensive books: "Comprehensive for Liberal Arts" and "Comprehensive for Science." In each round, the subject books are divided into A and B companion volumes for synchronized reinforcement training. It can be said that this series is an invaluable practical textbook for middle school and high school entrance examinations.
First Round (Foundation): Written chapter by chapter or unit by unit, with a focus on interpreting key points of the new "Examination Guidelines" for the middle school entrance examination, accompanied by a large number of detailed examples.
Second Round (Ability): Divided into thematic lectures and reinforcement training, primarily aimed at cultivating and improving students' comprehensive abilities, application skills, and innovative thinking, with interdisciplinary thematic lectures and reinforcement training also included.
Third Round (Final Sprint): Designed for candidates to simulate, warm up, and prepare for the final sprint in April and May. Each volume meticulously compiles 12-15 mock exam papers for the middle school and high school entrance examinations, scientifically constructing the new platform for training aligned with the "Three Exams" (middle school entrance, high school entrance, and Gaokao) to achieve the guiding effect of zero-distance contact with the 2005 middle school and high school entrance examinations.
The writing of each volume in each round of this series embodies the wisdom of dozens of our junior and senior high school teachers, who have meticulously compiled, selected, and analyzed a large number of questions with the goal of cultivating students' innovative and practical abilities. Through collective lesson preparation, continuous refinement, careful consideration, and thorough integration, we have achieved a balance between originality and classics, striving to make each volume fully adaptable to the requirements of the new middle school and high school entrance examinations. We hope that the "Qidong Middle School Real Practice for the Middle School Entrance Examination" and the "Qidong Middle School Real Practice for the Gaokao" can truly become a green passageway for candidates to successfully enter university.
"Through countless efforts, though arduous, only by blowing away the sand can one reach the gold." The sample questions for the middle school and high school entrance examinations selected in this series, as well as the predictions for the actual exam questions, are scientifically and standardized questions extracted from a vast sea of questions, combined with the school teachers' new original questions, making them of extremely high value. They are authoritative, guiding, and targeted. Their purpose is to help candidates accurately grasp the patterns of solving problems, improve their review efficiency, and enhance their exam-taking skills. This is also the aspiration of all the editorial committee members of the "Qidong Middle School Real Practice for the Middle School Entrance Examination" and the "Qidong Middle School Real Practice for the Gaokao."
