2. Week 1 – Global Hazards & Changing Climate | 第1周 – 全球灾害与气候变化
Start with the big picture: Earth's tectonic and atmospheric systems. Review the global circulation model, the formation of tropical storms and the causes and effects of tectonic hazards. Link these natural processes to real-world examples you have studied in class. Use labelled diagrams to explain convection currents, plate boundaries and the Coriolis effect.
先从宏观入手：地球的构造系统与大气系统。回顾全球大气环流模型、热带风暴的形成以及构造灾害的成因与影响。将这些自然过程与课堂上学过的真实案例联系起来。用标注清晰的示意图解释对流、板块边界与科里奥利效应。
For Changing Climate, ensure you can distinguish between the natural greenhouse effect and enhanced greenhouse effect. Understand Quaternary climate change evidence (ice cores, tree rings, pollen analysis) and examine the social, economic and environmental consequences of global warming in a named developing and developed country.
在气候变化部分，要能够区分自然温室效应与增强的温室效应。理解第四纪气候变化证据（冰芯、树木年轮、花粉分析），并分析全球变暖在一个指定发展中国家和发达国家中带来的社会、经济与环境后果。
Natural hazard risk = (hazard × vulnerability) / capacity to cope
自然灾害风险 = (灾害 × 脆弱性) / 应对能力
3. Week 2 – Distinctive Landscapes: Rivers and Coasts | 第2周 – 独特地貌：河流与海岸
Focus on the geomorphic processes that shape the UK' aulic action, abrasion, attrition, solution) and transportation (traction, saltation, suspension, solution). For coasts, master the formation of headlands, bays, stacks and spits. Always link processes to landforms with clear sequencing – write 'process → result → real place' chains.
重点掌握塑造英国河流与海岸地貌的地貌作用过程。对河流，画出瀑布、曲流和泛滥平原的剖面图，解释侵蚀作用（水力作用、磨蚀、磨损、溶蚀）和搬运作用（牵引、跃移、悬浮、溶解）。对海岸，掌握岬角、海湾、海蚀柱和沙嘴的形成过程。始终将过程与地貌联系起来，用清晰的顺序链写出“过程 → 结果 → 真实地点”。
Create a case study table comparing a UK river landscape (e.g. the River Tees) and a UK coastal landscape (e.g. the Dorset coast). Include specific named landforms, management strategies and how geology, waves and climate influence the landforms.
制作案例对照表，对比英国河流地貌（例如蒂斯河）与英国海岸地貌（例如多塞特海岸）。列出具体名称的地貌、管理策略，以及地质、波浪和气候如何影响这些地貌。
4. Week 3 – Sustaining Ecosystems | 第3周 – 维持生态系统
Ecosystems at the global scale are driven by climate, soil and altitude. Begin by reviewing the distribution of tropical rainforests, temperate grasslands and tundra biomes. Use climate graphs to reinforce your understanding of temperature and precipitation patterns. Then narrow down to two specific biomes studied in depth – typically tropical rainforests and one other, such as polar or temperate deciduous woodland.
全球尺度的生态系统受气候、土壤和海拔驱动。先回顾热带雨林、温带草原和苔原生物群系的分布。用气候图表巩固对温度与降水模式的理解。然后聚焦深入学习的两个特定生物群系——通常是热带雨林和另一个，如极地或温带落叶林。
For each biome, know the nutrient cycle, food web adaptations and the value of goods and services. Practice 6-mark 'explain' questions on how plants and animals are adapted to the climate. Also prepare a comparison of sustainable management approaches – for example, selective logging and ecotourism in the Amazon versus conservation zones and international agreements in Antarctica.
对每个生物群系，了解养分循环、食物网适应以及商品与服务的价值。练习6分的“解释”题，说明动植物如何适应当地气候。同时准备可持续管理方式的比较——例如亚马逊的选择性伐木与生态旅游，对比南极洲的保护区与国际协议。
5. Week 4 – Urban Futures & Dynamic Development | 第4周 – 城市未来与动态发展
Urbanisation trends vary between ACs (advanced countries), EDCs (emerging and developing countries) and LIDCs (low-income developing countries). Create a summary table with causes of urbanisation, the characteristics of megacities and the challenges and opportunities in two contrasting cities – one in an AC and one in an LIDC or EDC (e.g. London and Lagos, or Birmingham and Mumbai).
城市化趋势在发达国家、新兴与发展中国家以及低收入发展中国家中各不相同。制作总结表，列出城市化的原因、巨型城市的特征以及两个对比城市（一个在发达国家，另一个在低收入或新兴国家，例如伦敦与拉各斯，或伯明翰与孟买）面临的挑战与机遇。
In Dynamic Development, the focus is on measuring development, understanding the causes of uneven development and evaluating aid and investment strategies. Be clear on indicators such as HDI, GNI per capita, literacy rate and life expectancy. Draw a Rostow model diagram and argue its limitations using one specific country example. Revise top-down versus bottom-up development projects with named case studies.
在动态发展中，重点是衡量发展水平、理解发展不平衡的原因并评估援助与投资战略。要清楚 HDI、人均 GNI、识字率和预期寿命等指标。画出罗斯托模型图示，并用一个具体国家案例论证其局限性。通过指定的案例复习自上而下与自下而上的发展项目。
6. Week 5 – UK in the 21st Century & Resource Reliance | 第5周 – 21 世纪的英国与资源依赖
The UK's changing population, its place in the global economy and the role of technology are examined here. Analyse population pyramids for 1950, 2000 and projected 2050. Explain the causes of the UK's ageing population and its impacts on healthcare, pensions and housing. Link your answer to specific government policies, such as raising the retirement age or immigration strategies.
这里考查英国人口结构的变化、其在全球经济中的地位以及科技的作用。分析 1950 年、2000 年和预计 2050 年的人口金字塔。解释英国人口老龄化的原因及其对医疗、养老金和住房的影响，并将答案与具体政府政策挂钩，如提高退休年龄或移民战略。
Resource Reliance covers food, energy and water security. You must be able to assess the impacts of demand exceeding supply at local and global scales. Practise interpreting graphs of water stress or energy mix transitions. Develop two detailed case studies of sustainable resource management – one small-scale (e.g. a local water harvesting project in Ethiopia) and one large-scale (e.g. the UK's transition to renewable energy).
资源依赖涵盖食物、能源和水安全。必须能够评估需求超过供给在地方和全球尺度上的影响。练习解读水资源压力或能源结构转型的图表。准备两个详细的可持续资源管理案例——一个小规模（如埃塞俄比亚的本地雨水收集项目），一个大尺度（如英国向可再生能源的转型）。
7. Geographical Skills and Mapwork | 地理技能与地图阅读
At least 15–20% of your marks come from skills-based questions. Revise OS map skills: six-figure grid references, measuring straight and winding distances, reading contours to describe relief and identifying human features like transport links and settlement patterns. Use a new OS map extract each week to practise.
至少 15–20% 的分数来自技能类题目。复习地形图技能：六位坐标引用、丈量直线与曲线距离、判读等高线描述地形，并识别人文特征如交通联系和聚落形态。每周使用一张新的 OS 地图截图进行练习。
Graphical skills are equally important. Be confident in constructing and interpreting line graphs, bar charts with subdivided bars, scatter graphs and proportional circles. Describe trends using TEA – Trend, Evidence, Anomaly. For photograph and sketch analysis, label directly on the image and use geographical terms such as 'foreground', 'middle ground', 'background', 'aspect' and 'land-use zones'.
图表技能同样重要。要能够自信地绘制与解读折线图、细分柱状图、散点图和比例圆图。使用 TEA 法则描述趋势——Trend（趋势）、Evidence（证据）、Anomaly（异常值）。对照片和素描分析，直接在图像上标注，并使用“前景”“中景”“背景”“坡向”和“土地利用区”等地理术语。
8. Case Study Deep Dive | 案例深度钻研
Case studies are the backbone of exams. Use a 'case study card' method: for each named example, summarise key facts (place, date, magnitude), causes, effects (short-term and long-term) and management responses. Then link to bigger concepts – for instance, connect the 2015 Nepal earthquake to plate tectonics theory and the reasons for high vulnerability.
案例是考试的骨架。采用“案例卡片”法：为每个指定案例总结关键事实（地点、日期、规模）、成因、影响（短期与长期）以及管理响应。然后与更大的概念挂钩——例如，将 2015 年尼泊尔地震与板块构造理论及高脆弱性的原因联系起来。
Compile a minimum of twelve case studies covering both human and physical themes. Examples: Haiti 2010 earthquake, Typhoon Haiyan 2013, UK Somerset Levels floods 2014, Amazon rainforest, Sahel desertification, London urban change, Kenya's tourism-led development, India's economic growth, UK's energy mix shift. For each, prepare a 'worth knowing' section of interesting statistics that make your answer stand out.
汇编至少十二个案例，覆盖人文与自然主题。例如：2010 年海地地震、2013 年台风海燕、2014 年英国萨默塞特平原洪水、亚马逊雨林、萨赫勒荒漠化、伦敦城市变迁、肯尼亚以旅游为主导的发展、印度经济增长、英国能源结构转型。为每个案例准备一个“值得知晓”的有趣统计数据部分，让答案脱颖而出。
9. Key Geographical Terminology | 核心地理术语
Examiners expect precise vocabulary. Create a glossary wall or digital flashcard set for each topic. Terms to master: 'abrasion', 'fetch', 'longshore drift', 'urbanisation', 'suburbanisation', 'counter-urbanisation', 'Gross National Income', 'multiplier effect', 'ecosystem services', 'food miles' and 'carbon sink'. Test yourself daily by writing definitions from memory and using each term in a full sentence.
考官期待精准的术语。为每个主题创建术语墙或数字闪卡组。需要掌握的术语包括："abrasion"（磨蚀）、"fetch"（风区长度）、"longshore drift"（沿岸漂移）、"urbanisation"（城市化）、"suburbanisation"（郊区化）、"counter-urbanisation"（逆城市化）、"Gross National Income"（国民总收入）、"multiplier effect"（乘数效应）、"ecosystem services"（生态系统服务）、"food miles"（食物里程）和"carbon sink"（碳汇）。每天自测，凭记忆写出定义，并用每个术语造完整的句子。
10. Exam Technique and Command Words | 考试技巧与指令词
OCR exam papers use specific command words that tell you exactly what to do. 'Describe' means give characteristics or what you see; 'Explain' requires reasons and links; 'Assess' or 'Evaluate' demand a balanced argument with a conclusion. Practise by highlighting the command word in past questions and planning answers as a group before writing.
OCR 试卷使用特定的指令词，明确告知你要做什么。"Describe" 意味着给出特征或所见;"Explain" 要求给出理由和联系;"Assess" 或 "Evaluate" 需要有论据均衡的论证并得出结论。练习时先在真题中标出指令词，在落笔前小组式构思答案。
For case study 4-mark questions, structure your paragraph: point, place-specific evidence, explanation. For 6-mark 'discuss' questions, write two developed points with explicit links to the question. For the 8-mark evaluative question, always state your judgement at the start of the final paragraph and support it with evidence. Time yourself to spend about one minute per mark.
对案例研究的4分题，段落结构为：观点 + 地点特定证据 + 解释。对6分的“讨论”题，写出两个展开的观点，并明确链接回问题。对8分的评价题，始终在最后一段开头给出你的判断并用证据支持。计时练习，约一分钟完成一分。
11. Active Revision Strategies | 主动复习策略
Passive re-reading is ineffective. Switch to active recall: turn each heading into a question and answer it aloud; sketch and label diagrams from memory; create dual-coding notes with a simple drawing and a short caption. Use the 'blurting' method – write everything you remember on a blank sheet without looking at your notes, then check and fill gaps in a different colour.
被动重读效果甚微。转向主动回忆：把每个标题变成问题并口头回答;凭记忆画出并标注图表;制作双重编码笔记，配以简单插图与简短解说。使用“倾吐”法——在不看笔记的情况下，在空白纸上写下所有记住的内容，然后用不同颜色检查并填补空白。
Leverage spaced repetition. After you finish a topic, review it again two days later, then a week later. Apps like Anki or Quizlet can help, but handwritten flashcards with a question on one side and a concise answer on the other are just as powerful. Teach a family member or friend – if you can explain a concept clearly, you truly understand it.
利用间隔重复。完成一个主题后，隔两天再复习一次，然后隔一周再复习。Anki 或 Quizlet 等应用有帮助，但手写闪卡（一面问题，一面简洁答案）同样有效。教给家人或朋友——若能清晰解释一个概念，你就真正理解了它。
12. Managing Your Time and Wellbeing | 时间管理与身心健康
Building a realistic timetable prevents burnout. Plan your week in advance, slotting in two geography sessions of 50 minutes each day, plus one lighter 25-minute review. Intersperse geography with other subjects to keep your brain engaged. Use the Pomodoro technique: 25 minutes of focused work, 5-minute break, repeat.
制定切实可行的时间表可防止倦怠。提前规划一周，每天安排两节各 50 分钟的地理复习，外加一次轻松的 25 分钟回顾。将地理与其他科目穿插安排，保持大脑活跃。使用番茄工作法：专注学习 25 分钟，休息 5 分钟，循环进行。
Protect your sleep, exercise and screen-free time. Geography is about understanding the world, so connect your revision to real life – watch a documentary on climate change or a city you are studying, or discuss a development news item with friends. At the end of each week, reflect on three things that went well and one area to improve the following week.
保障睡眠、锻炼与远离屏幕的时间。地理是关于理解世界的学科，因此将复习与现实生活相连——观看气候变化纪录片或研究城市的相关影片，或与朋友讨论发展类新闻。每周结束时，反思三件进展顺利的事和一个下周需改进的地方。
