TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper - Chinese Primary 1 (Answer Key)
Subject: Chinese
Level: Primary 1
Paper: Hanyu Pinyin Practice Paper
Total Marks: 40
Section A: Initials (声母) Recognition [10 marks]
1 (2 marks)
Answer: B) p
Explanation: The word "爸爸" (bà ba) means "father". The first character "爸" has the pinyin bà. The initial (声母) is b.
Note: Option B is "p" — this is a distractor. The correct initial is b, but the options show B) p. Wait — let's re-check: "爸爸" → "爸" is bà, initial b. Option A is b. So the correct answer is A) b.
Correction: The question asks "Which initial does the first character start with?" → "爸" → b. Option A is b.
Final Answer: A) b
2 (2 marks)
Answer: C) m
Explanation: The picture shows a horse. The Chinese word is 马 (mǎ). The initial is m.
Teaching Note: Initial m is a nasal sound made with lips closed. It appears in common words like 妈 (mā), 米 (mǐ), 门 (mén).
3 (2 marks)
Answer: B) l
Explanation: "老师" (lǎo shī) means "teacher". The first character "老" has pinyin lǎo. The initial is l.
Common Mistake: Confusing l and n. Tip: For l, the tongue touches the roof of the mouth behind the teeth; for n, air flows through the nose.
4 (2 marks)
Answer: A) 哥哥 (gē ge)
Explanation:
- A) 哥哥 → gē ge → initial g ✓
- B) 妹妹 → mèi mei → initial m
- C) 弟弟 → dì di → initial d
- D) 姐姐 → jiě jie → initial j
Only option A starts with g.
5 (2 marks)
Answer: A) h
Explanation: "花朵" (huā duǒ) means "flower". The first character "花" has pinyin huā. The initial is h.
Teaching Note: h is a voiceless fricative — like a soft breath out. Compare with f (teeth on lip) and x (tongue near hard palate).
Section B: Finals (韵母) Recognition [10 marks]
6 (2 marks)
Answer: A) 爱 (ài)
Explanation:
- 爱 → ài → final ai ✓
- 我 → wǒ → final o
- 你 → nǐ → final i
- 他 → tā → final a
Teaching Note: ai is a compound final (复韵母) — glide from a to i. Sounds like "eye" in English.
7 (2 marks)
Answer: C) un
Explanation: "云" (yún) → pinyin yún. The final is un (after y, it's the whole syllable yun, but the final part is un).
Key Concept: After y, ü is written as u (no dots). But yun = y + ün. The final is ün, but in the options, un represents the sound.
Clarification: In Pinyin, yun is a whole syllable. The final is ün (written as un after y). Option C un is the expected answer for Primary 1 level.
8 (2 marks)
Answer: B) 狗 (gǒu)
Explanation:
- 牛 → niú → final iu (iou)
- 狗 → gǒu → final ou ✓
- 羊 → yáng → final ang
- 马 → mǎ → final a
Teaching Note: ou glides from o to u — like "oh" + "oo".
9 (2 marks)
Answer: A) iang
Explanation: "月亮" (yuè liang) → "亮" is liang = l + iang. The final is iang.
Breakdown: iang = i + ang. It's a compound final (三拼音节).
10 (2 marks)
Answer: B) 学 (xué)
Explanation:
- 月 → yuè → final üe (written as ue after y)
- 学 → xué → x + üe (written as ue after x) ✓
- 鱼 → yú → final ü (written as u after y)
- 雨 → yǔ → final ü (written as u after y)
Key Rule: After j, q, x, y, the dots on ü are omitted. So xue = x + üe.
Section C: Tones (声调) Discrimination [10 marks]
11 (2 marks)
Answer: A) First tone, First tone
Explanation: "书包" (shū bāo) → shū (1st tone, high level), bāo (1st tone, high level).
Tone Marks: ˉ (first), ˊ (second), ˇ (third), ˋ (fourth), no mark (neutral).
12 (2 marks)
Answer: A) Third tone, First tone
Explanation: "好吃" (hǎo chī) → hǎo (3rd tone, dipping), chī (1st tone, high level).
Listening Tip: 3rd tone goes down then up; 1st tone stays high.
13 (2 marks)
Answer: C) mèi me
Explanation: "妹妹" (mèi mei) → first character mèi (3rd tone, marked ˇ), second character mei (neutral tone, no mark).
Why not others:
- A) méi mei → 2nd tone + neutral (wrong tone on first)
- B) mèi mei → 3rd tone + 3rd tone (second should be neutral)
- D) mei mei → no tones at all
14 (2 marks)
Answer: D) 来去 (lái qù)
Explanation:
- 朋友 → péng you → 2nd + neutral
- 爸爸 → bà ba → 4th + neutral
- 妈妈 → mā ma → 1st + neutral
- 来去 → lái qù → 2nd (lái) + 4th (qù) ✓
15 (2 marks)
Answer: A) xià yǔ
Explanation: "下雨" (xià yǔ) → xià (4th tone, falling ˋ), yǔ (3rd tone, dipping ˇ).
Visual Check: Option A shows exactly these marks.
Section D: Syllable Blending (音节拼读) [10 marks]
16 (2 marks)
Answer: A) dao
Explanation: d + ao = dao. The final ao is a compound final (a + o). Blend smoothly: d-ao → dao.
Example Word: 刀 (dāo) — knife.
17 (2 marks)
Answer: A) jie
Explanation: j + ie = jie.
Important Rule: j, q, x never combine with u (only with ü, written as u without dots). Here ie is a final (i + e), so jie is correct.
Example: 姐 (jiě) — older sister.
18 (2 marks)
Answer: A) zhong
Explanation: zh + ong = zhong.
zh is a retroflex initial (舌尖上音). ong is a nasal final (o + ng).
Example: 中 (zhōng) — middle / China.
19 (2 marks)
Answer: A) xiao
Explanation: x + iao = xiao.
iao = i + ao (triple final). x is a palatal initial (舌面音).
Example: 小 (xiǎo) — small.
20 (2 marks)
Answer: D) All of the above
Explanation: zhi, chi, shi, ri are whole syllables (整体认读音节) — they are learned as units because the i here is a "buzzing" vowel (not the usual i sound).
Teaching Note: These four are special: the i after zh, ch, sh, r does not sound like "ee" — it's a continuation of the initial. Primary 1 students memorise them as whole syllables.
