Features: This book is written based on the newly promulgated English teaching syllabus for secondary schools by the Ministry of Education and the reform of the college entrance examination (Gaokao) English. It is a unique and brand-new reading book for Gaokao English. In addition to including all the essential vocabulary required for the Gaokao, it also incorporates high-frequency and core words from the College English Test Band 4 (CET-4). The new requirements specify that high school graduates should achieve a level equivalent to CET-4, and this book fulfills that requirement. It not only guarantees high scores for students in the Gaokao but also prepares them thoroughly for the English placement tests after entering university, which determine whether they are placed in fast or slow-track classes. This book is also a comprehensive guide for Gaokao English preparation, with content that exceeds the depth of similar books. From word definitions to collocations, from exam points to synonyms, from example sentences to mock questions, it helps you fully master vocabulary usage, grammar points, and the subtle differences between synonyms. It is particularly noteworthy that this book includes all authentic past Gaokao questions. By practicing these real questions, students can gain practical training for the exam. The book adopts a bilingual (English-Chinese) explanation format for all vocabulary, which greatly benefits students. Vocabulary learning is a crucial part of English education, and the Gaokao requires students to explain or substitute target vocabulary using English synonyms. Additionally, the bilingual approach helps students gradually overcome the habit of thinking in Chinese, which is not only beneficial for exams but also helps them understand word usage, context, and the differences between synonyms. Furthermore, the book includes not only past national Gaokao questions but also spring Gaokao questions from other regions, such as Shanghai and Beijing. The knowledge points covered include verbs, non-finite verbs, other parts of speech, and sentences (such as situational dialogues and clauses), as well as grammar points (tenses, voice, subjunctive mood, modal verbs, subject-verb agreement). In summary, this book can help you memorize and learn vocabulary, understand the Gaokao question-setting logic, familiarize yourself with key Gaokao topics, and know what and how to answer in the exam, thereby enhancing your (exam-taking ability) and boosting your confidence for success in the Gaokao.
