Features: Since the publication of the "Tianli 38 Sets" college entrance examination series books, they have been widely welcomed and loved by teachers and students. Since 2003, they have consistently ranked first in the annual "Open Book" survey of the best-selling college entrance examination books in China. They have become a well-known teaching aid brand recognized by the education and publishing communities, and have also become review materials for many famous model high schools and numerous candidates nationwide. The reason "Tianli 38 Sets" enjoys such high acclaim is mainly due to its extraordinary quality, ever-improving service, and continuous innovation in publishing. "Tianli 38 Sets" always strives to reflect its authority, foresight, practicality, guidance, and service in every book, so 100% of the content is updated every year, incorporating any changes in college entrance examination policies, regulations, or reforms into the books. For this revision of the 38 Sets Economy Edition, the following points need to be explained:
1. This book includes 12 subjects: Chinese, Mathematics (Arts), Mathematics (Science), English, Liberal Arts Comprehensive, Science Comprehensive, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Politics, History, and Geography. Considering that the college entrance examination in English only includes listening in some provinces, only 4 simulation tests without listening were selected for compilation. Listening tests are accompanied by audio tapes read by American experts, with pronunciation, speed, and reading repetitions all strictly following the actual requirements of the college entrance examination.
2. The questions are carefully selected in full accordance with the new college entrance examination syllabus requirements. While ensuring comprehensiveness, the selection prioritizes quality, and questions that do not meet the quality standards are not included.
3. This book is the Economy Edition, with 18 simulation tests selected for each subject. While the number is relatively fewer compared to the 38 Sets, the quality is never compromised. The selected tests are equally representative and typical. Readers can obtain excellent college entrance examination simulation tests from various provinces and cities across the country at a lower cost. Given that most provinces and cities in China use the same textbooks and follow the same syllabus requirements, this book is generally suitable for candidates nationwide.
4. In the 2006 college entrance examination simulations, only Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Guangdong set separate exams for Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Politics, History, and Geography. Other provinces and cities only included related subjects within the Science Comprehensive or Liberal Arts Comprehensive exams. The depth and breadth of assessment for the same subject under different examination formats vary. Therefore, when selecting questions for the corresponding subjects in this book, the needs of students in both formats were considered, with a focus on single-subject simulation tests within the comprehensive subjects to cater to different needs. Of course, in the early stages of review, students in regions where these single subjects are not tested can also do some simulation tests from Jiangsu and Guangdong. However, they should not continue doing them in the middle and later stages of review and should return to the comprehensive single-subject simulation tests.
5. When compiling the book, full consideration was given to the differences in educational levels across regions and the needs of students at different stages of review and proficiency. Each subject includes simulation tests suitable for different stages of review and difficulty levels, allowing readers to choose based on their own level and review stage. They can also be used as group homework under teacher guidance. To maximize the book's guiding role, Liu Yongwang, Wu Qiming, Sun Jianping, Li Rucheng, and other teachers were invited to write detailed explanations for the answers, enabling candidates not only to understand what is correct but also why it is correct, and to master the solving techniques and abilities for various question types through practice.
6. 2007 was the college entrance examination year for the new curriculum standards experimental regions, involving Shandong, Guangdong, Hainan, and Ningxia. These provinces and cities use different textbooks, teaching philosophies, and evaluation methods for courses. Therefore, candidates in these four provinces and cities should pay attention to the differences when using this book. Due to space limitations, many excellent simulation tests could not be included in this book. Readers who need them can choose from other books in the "Tianli 38 Sets" series. Additionally, to facilitate learning and exchange, an online tracking service is provided.
