1. Given that $(x-1)^{2}$ divides the polynomial $x^{4}+a x^{3}-$ $3 x^{2}+b x+3$ with a remainder of $x+1$. Then $a b=$ $\qquad$ .
II, 1.0.
From the given, we have
$$
\begin{array}{l}
x^{4}+a x^{3}-3 x^{2}+b x+3 \\
=(x-1)^{2}\left(x^{2}+\alpha x+\beta\right)+x+1 \\
=x^{4}+(\alpha-2) x^{3}+(\beta+1-2 \alpha) x^{2}+(1+\alpha- \\
2 \beta) x+1+\beta .
\end{array}
$$

Then $a=\alpha-2$,
$$
\begin{array}{l}
-3=\beta+1-2 \alpha, \\
b=1+\alpha-2 \beta, \\
3=1+\beta .
\end{array}
$$

Solving, we get $\alpha=3, \beta=2, a=1, b=0$.
$$
\therefore a b=0 \text {. }
