Features: Qidong High School, founded in October 1928, now occupies 350 acres of land with a construction area of 105,000 square meters. It has 99 teaching classes, more than 450 faculty and staff, and over 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. Among the full-time teachers, there is 1 Ph.D., 3 master's degree holders; 5 distinguished teachers, 2 provincial young and middle-aged experts, and more than 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 the People's Republic of China" in Nantong. The school has 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 personal 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 more than 90% for admissions to key universities, and more than 10 students are admitted to Tsinghua and Peking University each year. 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 achieved outstanding results by winning the gold medal in the 7th Asian Physics Olympiad for Middle School Students and will participate in the 37th International Physics Olympiad for Middle School Students in July 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 Olympic 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 School of Moral Education of Jiangsu Province," "Advanced Collective of Party Building in Primary and Middle Schools of Jiangsu Province," "Advanced Unit in National Health and Sports Work," and "Model League Committee of Jiangsu Province for the May Fourth Movement." 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 bank and achieving excellent teaching results. To sincerely express our gratitude to sister schools across the country and meet the expectations of teachers and students, at the invitation of the renowned 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. It strives to embody the new trends of the current round of curriculum, teaching, and examination reforms, making it more adaptable to different levels of regions, schools, and students. It can not only solidify foundational knowledge but also improve learning and examination skills. It fully highlights the following guiding principles and features:
1. Innovative and Extraordinary Educational Philosophy. The compilation fully reflects the requirements of the current round of teaching and curriculum reforms, embodying the educational philosophy and concepts of the new curriculum. The selection of questions follows the principle of combining "originality and classics," with a focus on strengthening the development and research of "ability-based, open-ended, applied, and comprehensive" questions. Each subject is equipped with a certain number of newly created original questions by the authors. This set of "Qidong High School Middle (High) School Entrance Examination Simulation Papers" can be reviewed from the perspective of the examination syllabus, key points, and examination questions ("three exams"), and provides guidance and analysis on problem-solving methods and techniques, making it an excellent supplementary material for middle and high school students in guiding learning, practice, and examination.
2. Detailed and Standardized Thought Guidance. The answers are thoroughly explained and analyzed, highlighting key knowledge points and basic methods, and striving to teach problem-solving techniques, focusing on solving "how to do it?" and "how to think about doing it?" The solutions are widely applicable.
