✍️ Sample GAOKAO Questions & Answers
1. What is the structural difference between 1-butene and 2-butene?
Both are C₄H₈ isomers with one double bond; they differ only in the position of the C=C double bond (between C1-C2 vs C2-C3).
2. In a Gaokao cloze passage, the blank reads: 'She had always been _____ of her younger brother, often helping him with his homework.' Which word best fits the blank?
'Protective' fits the context: she helped her younger brother with homework, indicating a caring, protective attitude. The other options contradict the helping behavior described.
3. The relationship ΔG = ΔH − TΔS determines reaction spontaneity. A reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures when:
When ΔH 0, ΔG = ΔH − TΔS is always negative (for T > 0 K), so the reaction is spontaneous at all temperatures.
4. Evaluate ∫₁^e (1/x + x) dx.
∫(1/x + x)dx = ln|x| + x²/2; evaluated from 1 to e: (ln e + e²/2) - (ln 1 + 1/2) = 1 + e²/2 - 1/2 = 1 + (e²-1)/2.
5. The curve y = x³ - x has horizontal tangent lines at which x-values?
y' = 3x² - 1 = 0 → x² = 1/3 → x = ±1/√3.
6. The G20 (Group of Twenty) is best described as:
The G20 is an international forum for governments and central bank governors from 19 countries plus the European Union. Together they represent about 85% of global GDP and two-thirds of the world's population. It addresses major issues related to the global economy, financial markets, and sustainable development.
