Features: This book is a convenient and practical reference tool for high school students during their daily study of biology in high school and for comprehensive review in preparation for the college entrance examination (Gaokao). The writing of this manual is guided by the General High School Biology Curriculum Standards (Experimental Edition) and primarily based on the Full-Time Regular High School Biology Textbooks (Compulsory Part, Volume 1 and Volume 2) and the Full Set of Elective Biology Textbooks. During the writing process, the manual strives to reflect the new concepts of the biology curriculum, emphasizing the scientific and exploratory nature of the learning process, with the goal of improving learners' biological scientific literacy. It advocates exploratory learning and focuses on connecting theory to practice. With a student-centered approach, it genuinely helps students enhance their learning abilities and develop exam-taking skills.
The manual is structured in the form of modular units, highlighting the intrinsic connections between knowledge, which aids beginners in high school biology in their knowledge retrieval and in-depth exploration. It also assists reviewers in constructing their knowledge networks and improving their comprehensive academic abilities. In terms of content organization, the manual aims to present knowledge systematically, comprehensively cover key points, emphasize the most important aspects, ensure rigorous exploration, provide accurate descriptions, concise summaries, typical examples, and clear explanations. This allows learners to gain more in the limited reading time available.
In terms of question selection, it follows the three-dimensional objectives advocated by the new curriculum standards, choosing frequently tested question types in the Gaokao, as well as typical examples that examine various knowledge and skill points. It places special emphasis on assessing subject-specific abilities, particularly the experimental skills in biology, along with the levels of assessment.
