Total: 30 marks
Marking notes for teachers
- Each 1-mark item: full mark for a correct option. No half marks.
- 2-mark items (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q10, Q11, Q12, Q13, Q14, Q15): 1 mark per correct subpart.
- Dictation / listening items (Q6, Q18): the teacher reads three times. Award 1 mark only if the student circles the syllable the teacher actually reads.
- Picture-matching items depend on the visuals described in the
<image_placeholder>tags; the expected visuals are restated below each answer.
Part A: Hanyu Pinyin (15 marks)
Question 1 (2 marks)
(1) A. yú — 鱼 is read as yú, second tone. (2) A. yǔ — 雨 is read as yǔ, third tone.
Teaching note: tone marks are essential in Hanyu Pinyin. yú (rising) and yǔ (falling-rising) sound different and change the meaning. Always check the tone mark above the vowel.
Question 2 (2 marks)
(1) A. yǔ — 雨 is yǔ, third tone. The distractors B, C, D all show yǔ but the correct answer is the standard spelling for this character. (2) A. dà — 大 is dà, fourth tone. Distractor B (tà) confuses the initial d and t; C (dǎi) is an incorrect final; D (duò) is an incorrect final.
Teaching note: the umbrella + raindrops picture is a visual clue for 雨. The hanzi 大 appears in P1 Lesson 6 writing list.
Question 3 (2 marks)
(1) mǐ — 米 is read as mǐ, third tone. (2) shān — 山 is read as shān, first tone.
Teaching note: students write the full pinyin in the brackets. Award 1 mark for a correct syllable with the correct tone mark.
Question 4 (2 marks)
(1) pā has a different initial (the others are bā, dā, tā — initials b, d, t; pā starts with p, the only aspirated initial in the set). (2) fā has a different initial (the others are mā, ná, lā — initials m, n, l; f is different).
Teaching note: at P1, the four aspirated/unaspirated pairs (b/p, d/t, g/k) and the nasals (m, n) plus the lateral (l) and fricative (f) are taught. Remind students that f looks like a mouth blowing air, while b/p is made with the lips.
Question 5 (2 marks)
(1) mò has a different final (the others are mā, má, mǎ — all with the final a; mò has the final o). (2) dū has a different final (the others are dī, tí, nī — all with the final i; dū has the final u).
Teaching note: finals (yunmu 韵母) are the vowel part of a syllable. P1 students learn the simple finals a, o, e, i, u, ü and a few compound ones.
Question 6 (2 marks)
(1) Teacher reads mā (first tone). Answer: A. mā. (2) Teacher reads bǒ (third tone). Answer: C. bǒ.
Teaching note: this is a listening-discrimination item. If the print fallback is used, see the answer key as stated; for a teacher-read version, the teacher chooses one of the four options and reads it three times.
Question 7 (1 mark)
(1) mā —— B. 妈 (2) bà —— A. 爸 (3) dà —— C. 大 (4) xiǎo —— D. 小
Teaching note: each pinyin matches exactly one hanzi. 妈 and 爸 are the most common P1 family words. 大 and 小 are antonyms (Lesson 6).
Question 8 (1 mark)
A. niǎo — 鸟 is niǎo, third tone. The i in niǎo is a special compound initial n + iao (sometimes written niǎo). Distractors change the medial or the tone.
Teaching note: the picture of the bird supports meaning. Even if the student does not know the pinyin, they can match picture → pinyin by elimination.
Question 9 (1 mark)
B. shū — 书 is shū, first tone. The initial sh is one of the four "翘舌音" (retroflex initials) taught later, but at P1 students learn sh as a single sound. Distractor A (sū) confuses s and sh; C (xū) confuses sh and x; D (shǔ) has the wrong tone.
Teaching note: distinguish s and sh by tongue position — sh curls the tongue tip back.
Part B: Vocabulary & Application (15 marks)
Question 10 (2 marks)
(1) A. yī — 一 is read as yī, first tone, in this context (when counting/meaning "one"). (2) B. shì — 是 is read as shì, fourth tone. The sentence means "Mother is a teacher." 是 is a P1 recognition character (Lesson 4).
Teaching note: 一 has multiple tone changes in Chinese (变调), but at P1 students only need the base reading yī.
Question 11 (2 marks)
(1) (small boy) — B. 小. 小 means small; it appears in P1 Lesson 6 writing list. (2) (big elephant) — C. 大. 大 means big/large; it appears in P1 Lesson 6 writing list.
Teaching note: visual size contrast (small boy vs. big elephant) is the cue. 大 and 小 are antonyms.
Question 12 (2 marks)
(1) A. 我有一只猫。 — yī zhī is the correct measure word for animals like cats. (2) B. 爸爸去商店。 — shāng diàn is shop/store; 商店 appears in P1 Lesson 19.
Teaching note: 支 is the measure word for thin, long things (pen, pencil, song), not animals. 只 is the measure word for animals. Teach measure-word pairings explicitly.
Question 13 (2 marks)
(1) 妈 — A. mā (first tone). 妈 is read with the high, level first tone. (2) 马 — C. mǎ (third tone). 马 has the falling-rising third tone.
Teaching note: 妈 and 马 are perfect minimal pairs at P1 — same initial m, same final a, different tones. Tone discrimination is a key P1 skill.
Question 14 (2 marks)
(1) A. hē — 喝 is hē, first tone. Means "to drink." (2) C. chī — 吃 is chī, first tone. Means "to eat."
Teaching note: aspirated h vs. k and aspirated ch vs. c are common P1 confusions. Students can mime the action to remember the meaning.
Question 15 (2 marks)
(1) māo — C. 猫 (cat). (2) yú — D. 鱼 (fish).
Teaching note: animal-noun pinyin is reinforced by picture. The 2x2 picture grid (cat, dog, bird, fish) lets the student match by sound or by picture.
Question 16 (1 mark)
日 — The hanzi 日 means "sun" or "day." Pinyin rì, fourth tone.
Visual: the picture shows a red sun (太阳) and the hanzi 日 in a 田字格.
Teaching note: 日 is also the radical for many time-related characters. At P1, students recognize 日 and write it in Lesson 4.
Question 17 (1 mark)
A. flower / 花 — huā is the pinyin for 花. The other options (火 huǒ, 水 shuǐ, 口 kǒu) have different initials or finals.
Teaching note: this is a sound-meaning link. After learning 花 (Lesson 7), students can match huā → 花.
Question 18 (1 mark)
Teacher reads one of: yī, yí, yǐ, yì. Student circles the one heard. The answer depends on what the teacher says. (For marking: accept the option the teacher announced.)
Teaching note: 一 has four tone contexts at P1 (numbers, sentence-final, before 4th tone, before other tones). Listening exposure is the key learning method.
Question 19 (1 mark)
- Picture of a hand — shǒu (手)
- Picture of an eye — yǎn jīng (眼睛)
- Picture of a mouth — kǒu (口)
Teaching note: this is a picture ↔ pinyin matching task. The visual must clearly show a hand, an eye, and a mouth (one of each) so the match is unambiguous.
Question 20 (1 mark)
C. 弟弟 — dì di is the pinyin for 弟弟 (younger brother).
Teaching note: 弟 appears in P1 Lesson 2 as a recognition character. A repeated dì di is the typical P1 family-word pattern.
