Features: Since the resumption of the college entrance examination (Gaokao), English has always been the most crucial subject in all exams. Almost every school and discipline considers English scores as an important reference point for admission. At the same time, English language proficiency has become a standard for employment due to the unique advantages of the language. Grammar and vocabulary have always been important parts of foreign language learning. Traditionally, foreign language learning has treated these two aspects as the foundation, both indispensable. Although the focus on grammar has diminished in recent years, grammar still reflects the language proficiency of a user. The key issue is that grammar learning should never be the sole goal of language learning; the same applies to vocabulary. We all assume that the more vocabulary one has, the better. However, the results may not be the same. If one learns a large number of words but cannot use them flexibly—that is, does not know which words to use in what context, or even uses inappropriate words in different contexts—such a large vocabulary can actually cause trouble. This book helps candidates review grammar and vocabulary through three aspects:
1. Summarizing the main grammar points of Gaokao English over the years, listing them item by item and supplemented with Gaokao example sentences for analysis and practice;
2. The vocabulary section analyzes the high-frequency words, phrases, and collocations that appeared in Gaokao from 1985 to 2005, examining the focus, key points, and forms of vocabulary questions over the years;
3. The comprehensive test section focuses on analyzing the grammar and vocabulary points in the 2004–2005 Gaokao English papers, including question-setting intentions, solving techniques, mock tests, and answers, which will undoubtedly be very helpful to students. It is believed that the publication of this book will greatly benefit candidates in mastering the grammar and vocabulary of the Gaokao English exam.
