どちらも「通り抜ける」という意味です。 しかし、「pass」は通常、不注意で受動的なものを指し、「go past」は能動的なものを指します。
Go along this street. After you pass the post office, turn right.
Does this bus go past the university?

I must go past that 7-11 store and then reach my hotel, and on the way I will be passing a pet shop too.
この文では、ホテルに戻る予定で、セブンイレブンを通過する必要があるため (それはあなたの計画にあるので、"go past" を使用します); 途中でペットショップに遭遇しますが、そのルートを選択してもしなくてもそこにあるだけなので、「pass」を使用します。
