1. Physics: Mechanics – Kinematics and Dynamics | 物理：力学 – 运动学与动力学
The SUVAT equations are fundamental for describing motion under constant acceleration. They link displacement (s), initial velocity (u), final velocity (v), acceleration (a) and time (t).
SUVAT 方程组是描述匀加速运动的基础，它们将位移(s)、初速度(u)、末速度(v)、加速度(a)和时间(t)联系在一起。
v = u + at s = ut + ½ at² v² = u² + 2as
Newton’s second law states that the resultant force on an object equals the rate of change of its momentum. For constant mass, this reduces to F = ma. Conservation of momentum is equally critical in collision and explosion problems.
牛顿第二定律指出，物体所受合力等于其动量变化率。质量恒定时，这简化为 F = ma。动量守恒在碰撞与爆炸问题中同样至关重要。
F = dp/dt m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
2. Physics: Waves, Superposition and Interference | 物理：波、叠加与干涉
Two waves superpose when they meet; constructive interference occurs where they are in phase, and destructive interference where they are out of phase by π. The double‑slit experiment produces an interference pattern with fringe spacing Δx = λD / a, where D is the distance to the screen and a is the slit separation.
两列波相遇时发生叠加；同相位处出现相长干涉，相位差 π 处出现相消干涉。双缝实验产生干涉图样，条纹间距 Δx = λD / a，其中 D 为缝屏距离，a 为双缝间距。
Stationary waves form when two identical waves travel in opposite directions along a string or in a pipe. Nodes remain at rest while antinodes vibrate with maximum amplitude. For a string fixed at both ends, the harmonic frequencies are given by fn = nv/(2L).
当两列相同的波沿绳子或管内相反方向传播时形成驻波。波节保持静止，波腹则以最大振幅振动。对于两端固定的弦，谐频公式为 fₙ = nv/(2L)。
Δx = λD/a fₙ = nv/(2L)
3. Physics: Electricity, Circuits and Electromagnetism | 物理：电学、电路与电磁学
Kirchhoff’s current law (KCL) states that the total current entering a junction equals the total leaving it. Kirchhoff’s voltage law (KVL) asserts that the sum of the EMFs equals the sum of the potential differences around any closed loop.
基尔霍夫电流定律(KCL)指出，进入节点的总电流等于离开节点的总电流。基尔霍夫电压定律(KVL)表明，围绕任一闭合回路，电动势之和等于电势差之和。
Ohm’s law V = IR applies to ohmic conductors at constant temperature. In series circuits, the current is the same and voltages divide; in parallel circuits, the voltage is the same and currents branch. Internal resistance r causes a terminal voltage drop: V = ε − Ir.
欧姆定律 V = IR 适用于恒温下的欧姆导体。串联电路中电流相同，电压分压；并联电路中电压相同，电流分流。内阻 r 引起端电压下降：V = ε − Ir。
Electromagnetic induction follows Faraday’s law: the induced EMF is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage. Lenz’s law determines the direction so as to oppose the change causing it.
电磁感应遵循法拉第定律：感应电动势与磁通链的变化率成正比。楞次定律决定了感应电流的方向，使其阻碍引起感应的变化。
ε = − N ΔΦ/Δt V = ε − Ir
4. Chemistry: Atomic Structure and Chemical Bonding | 化学：原子结构与化学键
Electron configurations follow the Aufbau principle, Hund’s rule and the Pauli exclusion principle. First ionisation energies show a general increase across a period and a decrease down a group, with dips at group 3 and 6 due to sub‑shell effects.
电子构型遵循构造原理、洪特规则和泡利不相容原理。第一电离能总体呈现同周期增大、同族减小的趋势，并在第3族和第6族因亚层效应出现下降。
Ionic bonding arises from electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions, typically between metals and non‑metals. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electron pairs; dative covalent bonds occur when both electrons come from the same atom. Metallic bonding is a lattice of cations in a sea of delocalised electrons.
离子键源于带相反电荷离子之间的静电吸引，通常形成于金属与非金属之间。共价键涉及电子对的共享；配位键则是由同一原子提供两个电子。金属键是阳离子在离域电子海中的晶格排布。
Intermolecular forces include hydrogen bonding (strongest), permanent dipole‑dipole forces and London dispersion forces. Hydrogen bonds between H₂O molecules explain ice’s lower density and water’s relatively high boiling point.
分子间作用力包括氢键（最强）、永久偶极‑偶极力和伦敦色散力。水分子间的氢键解释了冰密度较低和水的沸点相对较高的原因。

5. Chemistry: Energetics, Kinetics and Equilibrium | 化学：能量学、动力学与平衡
Enthalpy changes can be calculated using Hess’s law, standard enthalpies of formation or combustion, and bond energies. An energy‑level diagram for an exothermic reaction shows products lower than reactants; endothermic reactions show the opposite.
焓变可通过赫斯定律、标准生成焓或燃烧焓以及键能计算。放热反应能级图显示产物低于反应物；吸热反应则相反。
The rate of a chemical reaction is influenced by concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. The Maxwell‑Boltzmann distribution explains the effect of temperature on the fraction of particles with energy ≥ activation energy.
化学反应速率受浓度、温度、表面积和催化剂影响。麦克斯韦–玻尔兹曼分布解释了温度对能量超过活化能的粒子比例的影响。
Le Chatelier’s principle predicts the direction of shift when a system at equilibrium is disturbed. For example, increasing pressure favours the side with fewer gas molecules. The equilibrium constant Kc is temperature‑dependent, and its magnitude indicates the position of equilibrium.
勒夏特列原理预测平衡系统受到扰动时的移动方向。例如，增加压强有利于气体摩尔数较少的一侧。平衡常数 Kc 与温度有关，其大小指示平衡位置。
ΔH = Σ(bond energies broken) − Σ(bond energies formed)
6. Chemistry: Organic Chemistry – Functional Groups and Reactions | 化学：有机化学 – 官能团与反应
Alkanes undergo free‑radical substitution with chlorine or bromine in the presence of UV light. Alkenes are much more reactive due to the electron‑rich C=C double bond and undergo electrophilic addition with halogens, hydrogen halides and steam.
烷烃在紫外光照射下与氯或溴发生自由基取代反应。烯烃因富电子的 C=C 双键而反应性更强，可与卤素、卤化氢和水蒸气发生亲电加成反应。
Alcohols can be oxidised to aldehydes, ketones or carboxylic acids using acidified dichromate(VI). Primary alcohols form aldehydes (distil) or carboxylic acids (reflux); secondary alcohols form ketones; tertiary alcohols resist oxidation. Esterification between a carboxylic acid and an alcohol requires an acid catalyst.
醇类可使用酸化重铬酸盐(VI)氧化为醛、酮或羧酸。伯醇生成醛（蒸馏）或羧酸（回流）；仲醇生成酮；叔醇不发生氧化。羧酸与醇的酯化反应需要酸催化。
Electrophilic substitution is characteristic of benzene and its derivatives. The nitration of benzene using concentrated HNO₃ and H₂SO₄ yields nitrobenzene. Friedel‑Crafts alkylation and acylation introduce alkyl groups into the aromatic ring.
亲电取代是苯及其衍生物的特征反应。苯的硝化使用浓硝酸和浓硫酸制得硝基苯。傅‑克烷基化和酰基化反应向芳环引入烷基。
C₂H₄ + Br₂ → C₂H₄Br₂ RCOOH + R’OH ⇌ RCOOR’ + H₂O
7. Biology: Cell Biology and Membrane Transport | 生物：细胞生物学与膜运输
Eukaryotic cells contain membrane‑bound organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes. The fluid mosaic model describes the cell membrane as a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins and cholesterol, allowing selective permeability.
真核细胞含有膜结合的细胞器，如细胞核、线粒体、内质网、高尔基体和溶酶体。流动镶嵌模型将细胞膜描述为嵌有蛋白质和胆固醇的磷脂双分子层，可实现选择透过性。
Substances move across membranes by diffusion (down a concentration gradient), facilitated diffusion (through channel or carrier proteins), osmosis (water across a partially permeable membrane), and active transport (against the gradient using ATP). Bulk transport occurs via endocytosis and exocytosis.
物质通过膜运输的方式有：扩散（顺浓度梯度）、协助扩散（经通道或载体蛋白）、渗透（水穿过部分透性膜）和主动运输（利用ATP逆梯度进行）。胞吞和胞吐实现大块物质运输。
Na⁺/K⁺ pump: 3 Na⁺ out, 2 K⁺ in (per ATP)
8. Biology: Energy Transfer – Photosynthesis and Respiration | 生物：能量传递 – 光合作用与呼吸作用
Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts and consists of two stages: the light‑dependent reactions in the thylakoid membranes produce ATP and reduced NADP, while the Calvin cycle in the stroma fixes CO₂ to synthesise glucose using ATP and reduced NADP.
光合作用在叶绿体中进行，分为两个阶段：类囊体膜上的光反应产生 ATP 和还原型辅酶II，而基质中的卡尔文循环利用 ATP 和还原型辅酶II固定 CO₂ 合成葡萄糖。
Aerobic respiration occurs in four stages: glycolysis (cytoplasm), link reaction, Krebs cycle (mitochondrial matrix) and oxidative phosphorylation (inner mitochondrial membrane). It produces up to 32 ATP molecules per glucose molecule, far more than anaerobic respiration (2 ATP).
有氧呼吸分四个阶段：糖酵解（细胞质）、连接反应、柠檬酸循环（线粒体基质）和氧化磷酸化（线粒体内膜）。每分子葡萄糖最多生成 32 分子 ATP，远高于无氧呼吸的 2 分子 ATP。
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O
9. Biology: Genetics, Inheritance and Evolution | 生物：遗传、遗传学与进化
Genes are segments of DNA that code for polypeptides. Alleles are different versions of a gene. Monohybrid crosses illustrate Mendel’s law of segregation, giving 3:1 phenotypic ratios in the F₂ generation for a dominant‑recessive pair.
基因是编码多肽链的 DNA 片段。等位基因是基因的不同版本。单因子杂交展示了孟德尔的分离定律，对于一对显隐性性状，F₂ 代表型比例为 3:1。
Codominance and multiple alleles give rise to different inheritance patterns, such as the ABO blood groups. Sex‑linked traits, like colour blindness, are carried on the X chromosome and appear more frequently in males.
共显性和复等位基因产生不同的遗传模式，如 ABO 血型。伴性遗传性状，如色盲，由 X 染色体携带，在男性中出现率更高。
Evolution by natural selection requires heritable variation, overproduction of offspring and differential survival. An organism’s fitness is its ability to survive and reproduce, leading to changes in allele frequencies over generations.
自然选择驱动的进化需要可遗传的变异、后代过度繁殖和差异化存活。适合度是个体生存和繁殖的能力，导致等位基因频率在世代间发生变化。
10. Practical Skills: Uncertainties, Graphs and Error Analysis | 实验技能：不确定性、图表与误差分析
The absolute uncertainty of a measurement is usually taken as half the smallest scale division. When quantities are added or subtracted, absolute uncertainties add. For multiplication or division, percentage uncertainties add, making it easy to calculate the uncertainty in a derived quantity.Published by TutorHao | A-Level Science Revision Series | aleveler.com
