1. Syllabus Overview | 大纲概览
The Cambridge IGCSE History syllabus (0470) is designed to develop knowledge of a range of historical periods, the ability to use sources critically and the skill of constructing historical arguments. Candidates study one Core Content option and one Depth Study. The course is assessed through written papers and either coursework or an alternative written paper.
剑桥 IGCSE 历史大纲（0470）旨在帮助学生掌握多个历史时期的知识，培养批判性史料分析能力和历史论证写作能力。考生需学习一个核心内容选项和一个深度研究。课程通过笔试以及课程作业或替代笔试进行评估。
The syllabus is available for examination in June and November. It is suitable for students who enjoy both narrative history and analytical debate. The content encourages comparison, causation, consequence, change, continuity and significance, and it rewards candidates who can explain why events happened rather than simply describe what happened.
该大纲每年 6 月和 11 月均有考试。它适合既喜欢叙事性历史、又享受分析性辩论的学生。内容强调比较、因果、结果、变化、延续性与历史意义，并更青睐那些能解释"为什么发生"而非只描述"发生了什么"的考生。
2. Assessment Objectives | 评估目标
Every question in every paper is written to test three assessment objectives. AO1 covers knowledge and understanding of historical periods, themes and concepts such as cause, consequence, change, continuity, similarity, difference and significance. AO2 covers the analysis and evaluation of sources and interpretations, including the ability to use evidence critically. AO3 covers the construction of organised arguments, supported judgements and substantiated conclusions.
每张试卷的每一道题都在考查三项评估目标。AO1 考查对历史时期、主题与概念的知识和理解，如原因、结果、变化、延续、相似、差异与意义。AO2 考查对史料与历史解读的分析和评价能力，包括批判性地运用证据。AO3 考查组织论证、提出有依据的判断以及得出有证据支撑的结论的能力。
- AO1 questions reward precise factual detail: dates, names, statistics, events. —— AO1 类题目奖励精确的事实细节：时间、人物、数据、事件。
- AO2 questions reward careful reading of provenance: author, date, purpose, audience and tone. —— AO2 类题目奖励对史料出处的细致解读：作者、时间、目的、受众与语气。
- AO3 questions reward a clear line of argument that runs from the introduction to the final judgement. —— AO3 类题目奖励从开头到最终判断保持一致清晰的论证主线。
A useful rule is that knowledge alone cannot earn the highest marks, and analysis without knowledge cannot either. The strongest answers combine specific evidence with explicit reasoning about that evidence.
一条实用的规则是：只有知识拿不到最高分，只有分析而没有知识同样拿不到高分。最强的答案总是把具体证据与对证据的明确推理结合起来。
3. Core Content | 核心内容
The Core Content is the broad, theme-based part of the course. It is built around twentieth-century international relations: the peace treaties of 1919–23 and their fairness, the work and limitations of the League of Nations, the collapse of international peace by 1939, the origins and development of the Cold War, the containment of communism, Soviet control of Eastern Europe and events in the Gulf region. The exact option list is published in the syllabus for your examination year, so always confirm it before you start teaching yourself a topic.
核心内容是课程中较宏观、以主题为线索的部分，围绕 20 世纪国际关系展开：1919–23 年和平条约及其公平性、国际联盟的成就与局限、1939 年前国际和平的崩溃、冷战的起源与发展、对共产主义的遏制、苏联对东欧的控制以及海湾地区的事件。具体选项清单以你所考年份的大纲为准，因此在自学某个主题前务必先确认。
Core Content trains you to think in terms of long-term and short-term causes, turning points and relative significance. In Paper 1 this content appears in Section A, and questions often ask how far one factor mattered more than another, which requires you to argue rather than narrate.
核心内容训练你从长期与短期原因、转折点以及相对重要性的角度思考。在试卷一中，这部分内容出现在 Section A，题目常问"某一因素在多大程度上比其他因素更重要"，因此你需要论证，而不是叙述。
4. Depth Studies | 深度研究
The Depth Study is a closer study of one country or region over a defined period. Typical options include Russia 1905–41, Germany 1918–45, the USA 1919–41, China c.1930–c.1990 and South Africa c.1940–c.1994, together with other options that are periodically revised. Depth means you know the chronology precisely, understand the role of key individuals, and can discuss political, economic, social and cultural change.
深度研究是针对某一国家或地区
