Features: On the day of the national college entrance examination, the next generation of candidates begins their preparation and review. Candidates are fully aware that exam scores are the prerequisite for college admission. To perform well, they must first study diligently, and effective study relies on extensive practice. To avoid getting lost in a sea of questions or merely repeating low-level exercises in vain, selecting high-quality mock tests becomes crucial. Therefore, candidates must pay great attention to choosing authoritative, forward-looking, and guiding test collections as their study materials. The Tianli 38 Sets of Gaokao Mock Test Collections stands out among similar books and is recognized as a renowned educational support brand by the education and publishing communities. Since its publication, it has been deeply loved by candidates and widely praised. From 2003 to 2006, it consistently ranked among the top-selling Gaokao books in China as identified by the Open Catalogue National Gaokao Bestseller List, recommended by over 120 nationally renowned model high schools and teaching research offices in regions with high educational standards, such as Tsinghua University High School and Haidian Teachers' College, as essential practice materials for Gaokao candidates. It has become the first choice for over 9 million candidates.
The enduring popularity of The Tianli 38 Sets of Gaokao Mock Test Collections lies in its annual comprehensive revisions by expert teams according to the Gaokao syllabus, with a meticulous and scientific approach to every detail, striving for continuous improvement in quality. In 2006, the series included 13 volumes: Chinese, Mathematics (Arts), Mathematics (Science), English (with Listening), English (without Listening), Liberal Arts Comprehensive, Science Comprehensive, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Politics, History, and Geography. All were jointly compiled by the Tianli National Gaokao Question Research Group and the Beijing Tianli Examination Information Network, and reviewed by the National Learning Science Research Association Examination Research Center.
Facing the increasing autonomy in Gaokao question-setting by 16 provinces and regions, the growing proximity of the new curriculum standards experiment, and the integration of new curriculum concepts into Gaokao questions, we have meticulously revised this book to maintain its beloved brand and enhance its distinctive features.
Authority: Each subject volume in the series is selected by Gaokao expert teams based on the latest national unified examination syllabus and the examination guidelines or supplementary notes of autonomous question-setting regions. It fully reflects the requirements and question-setting trends of Gaokao. The series strictly excludes substandard mock tests.
Forward-Looking: The book focuses on selecting representative mock tests from autonomous question-setting regions and other areas, especially new papers and question types incorporating new curriculum concepts, which more clearly reveal the new trends in Gaokao question-setting.
Applicability: The book includes mock tests suitable for the first round of review, as well as second-round tests and pre-examination sprint papers, covering all three stages of preparation. It is also suitable for second and third-year high school students as homework during winter and summer vacations. In 2007, for the first time, new curriculum experiment regions participated in Gaokao with entirely new curricula and evaluation methods. Students in these regions can select certain questions for practice under the guidance of their teachers.
Guidance: Each set of questions includes detailed answers, explaining the ability requirements, question-setting intentions, problem-solving approaches, and the basis for correct answers. Using this series helps readers summarize problem-solving patterns, apply knowledge flexibly, and improve their skills.
The English listening recordings are read by native American experts, with pronunciation and speed matching the requirements, and the recording order aligns perfectly with the question order.
Service: Service begins the moment the book is sold. First, it comes with value-added services provided through (gift cards). Second, the publishing department has a customer service center dedicated to handling user feedback. Additionally, an online tracking service is available for study and exchange. The website of the Tianli Examination Information Network is: www.TL100.com, BBS.TL100.com. Readers can also check answers online, receive free test papers, and access other supplementary materials.
In addition to selecting excellent mock tests and detailed answers from across the country, the book features exclusive articles written by renowned senior teachers specializing in Gaokao preparation, offering guidance and insights to candidates. Their years of experience and proven methods are shared with students preparing for Gaokao, greatly benefiting teaching. The answer hints are separately bound and inserted into the book for teachers to distribute.
During the revision process, the book received enthusiastic support from numerous experts and readers. They not only provided a wealth of mock tests but also offered valuable suggestions. Many senior and distinguished teachers meticulously compiled detailed answers and review guides, making significant contributions to the book’s successful revision.
The following teachers contributed to the answer explanations: Lu Zhiyi, Li Yunbo, Lü Guosheng, Xu Hongming, Liu Yongke, Liu Fuyan, Ding Wanhui, Chen Peng, Ma Kemei, Yang Xi, Zheng Jiasheng, and Zhong Guoying. Their passionate support and assistance are deeply appreciated.
Due to space limitations, many excellent mock tests were not included in this book. The 10 additional supplementary mock tests marked as “38+10 Supplement” on the cover will be published separately or available for download online.
As the 2006 Gaokao questions are numerous, this book no longer includes them. Readers requiring these questions can refer to The 2006 National and Provincial Gaokao Question Collections with Full Solutions or The Latest Five Years of Gaokao Question Collections with Detailed Explanations published by our company.
