TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper — Chinese Primary 1 (Answer Key)

Subject: Chinese
Level: Primary 1
Paper: Practice Paper (Topic: Hanyu Pinyin) — Version 1
Total Marks: 20

Note for students: Hanyu Pinyin has 声母 (initials), 韵母 (finals), and 声调 (tones). A syllable = initial + final + tone. This key explains each answer simply.

Section A: 声母与韵母 (8 marks)

Q1 — Answer: B (1 mark)
“苹果” is píng guǒ. The first syllable píng starts with p. So the initial is p.
Teaching note: Initial is the first consonant sound. Common mistake: choosing b because of similar shape; listen for breath (p is aspirated).

Q2 — Answer: A (1 mark)
“猫” is māo. Its initial is m.
Teaching note: m is a lip sound. Do not confuse with n (tongue sound).

Q3 — Answer: B (1 mark)
“爱” is ài, final = ai. Others: 一 yī (i), 午 wǔ (u), 雨 yǔ (ü).
Teaching note: Final is the vowel part after initial.

Q4 — Answer: B (1 mark)
“鱼” is yú, final = u (written ü after y). Others: 鸡 jī (i), 书 shū (u but different initial), 马 mǎ (a).
Teaching note: yú uses ü but spelled u after y.

Q5 — Answer: A (1 mark)
“花” is huā, initial = h. hu and ua are not single initials.
Teaching note: h is the initial; ua is the final.

Q6 — Answer: B (1 mark)
“书” is shū, initial = sh (curved tongue). s is flat.
Teaching note: sh vs s is a common P1 confusion.

Q7 — Answer: A (1 mark)
“狗” is gǒu, final = ou (ao-like in sound but spelled ou). Actually gǒu final is ou; among choices only 狗 has ou. 哥 gē (e), 鸡 jī (i), 姐 jiě (ie).
Teaching note: We look for ou; 狗 matches.

Q8 — Answer: B (1 mark)
“弟” is dì, initial = d.
Teaching note: d is a tongue-tip sound; b is lips.

Section B: 声调与音节 (6 marks)

Q9 — Answer: D (1 mark)
“妈妈” = mā ma. Second 妈 is neutral tone (轻声).
Teaching note: Repeated nouns often have light second syllable.

Q10 — Answer: B (1 mark)
mā (1st tone) = 妈. 马 mǎ (3rd), 麻 má (2nd), 骂 mà (4th).
Teaching note: Tone changes meaning.

Q11 — Answer: A (1 mark)
b + a = ba. Blending initial b with final a.
Teaching note: No tone given means base form.

Q12 — Answer: C (1 mark)
hé (2nd tone) = 和 (and) / 河 (river) / 禾 (grain) / 合 (close). Common P1 word 和 means “and”.
Teaching note: hé can be several characters; context “and” gives 和.

Q13 — Answer: C (1 mark)
“水” shuǐ is 3rd tone.
Teaching note: 3rd tone dips down.

Q14 — Answer: B (1 mark)
nǚ = n + ü. Final is ü (with umlaut).
Teaching note: After n, ü keeps dots.

Section C: 拼读与运用 (6 marks)

Q15 — Answer: B (1 mark)
gǒu = 狗 (dog).
Teaching note: g + ǒu.

Q16 — Answer: B (1 mark)
xiǎo = 小 (small).
Teaching note: x + iǎo.

Q17 — Answer: C (1 mark)
mèi mei = 妹妹 (younger sister).
Teaching note: Repeat shows family word.

Q19 — Answer: B (1 mark)
shān = 山 (hill/mountain).
