Features: Qidong High School, established in October 1928, now occupies 350 acres of land with a construction area of 105,000 square meters. It has 99 teaching classes, over 450 faculty members, and more than 5,600 students. In April 1998, the school passed the evaluation and acceptance of the "National Model High School," and in December 2003, it became one of the first four-star schools in Jiangsu Province. The school boasts a strong faculty, with 1 doctoral degree holder and 3 master's degree holders among its full-time teachers. It also has 5 distinguished teachers, 2 provincial young and middle-aged experts, and over 120 senior teachers. The campus environment is beautiful and has been recognized as one of the Top Ten Campuses in Nantong City and one of the "Top Ten New Landscapes for the 50th Anniversary of the Founding of New China." The school provides excellent educational conditions, including first-class laboratories, libraries, gyms, art halls, and multimedia teaching networks, which meet the needs of teachers and students for teaching, training, and individual development. The school's educational philosophy is "facing all students, promoting comprehensive development, cultivating specialized talents, and laying a foundation for students' lifelong development." For many years, the school has consistently ranked among the top in the province in college entrance exams, with a stable rate of over 90% for admissions to key universities. Every year, more than 10 students are admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Since 1995, our school has won "11 gold medals and 2 silver medals" in the International Physics Olympiad for Middle School Students. Our student Zhu Li has recently achieved outstanding results by winning the gold medal in the 7th Asian Physics Olympiad for Middle School Students, and he will participate in the 37th International Physics Olympiad for Middle School Students in July of this year. The school has also nurtured many talented students in sports, arts, and minor inventions, who have won numerous awards in domestic and international competitions. The school is known as the "fertile ground for talent cultivation and the cradle for Physics Olympiad gold medals" and has received honors such as "Advanced Unit in National Spiritual Civilization Construction," "Model Unit of Jiangsu Province," "Advanced Party Branch of Jiangsu Province," "Model School of Jiangsu Province," "Advanced Moral Education School of Jiangsu Province," "Advanced Party Building Unit in Primary and Secondary Education of Jiangsu Province," "Advanced Unit in National Health and Sports Work," and "Model Youth League Branch of Jiangsu Province." A group of renowned 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 bank and achieving excellent teaching results. To sincerely express gratitude to sister schools across the country and meet the expectations of teachers and students, at the invitation of the prestigious and authoritative China Machine Press, our school has organized dozens of distinguished and senior teachers and gold medal coaches from the frontline of teaching to meticulously plan and compile this scientific and practical "Qidong High School Middle (High) School Entrance Examination Simulation Papers." This series, jointly launched by Qidong High School and China Machine Press, reflects the school's teaching practices and experience in strengthening and supplementing education. It is authentic and is expected to be favored by a broad readership. The question compilation in this series is bold and innovative, reflecting a fresh sense of the times, with a focus on new themes, content construction, scenario creation, question-setting methods, and open exploration.
