Section C: 短文填空 (Passage Completion) [20 marks]

Word Box Used:

21. 开心

• Context: 小华不用上学，感到非常______。"开心" (happy) fits the context of a day off from school.

22. 美丽

• Context: 公园里的花开得真______。"美丽" (beautiful) describes flowers.

23. 仔细

• Context: 小华______地欣赏着每一朵花。"仔细" (carefully) describes how he appreciates the flowers.

24. 发现

• Context: 小华______一位老奶奶摔倒了。"发现" (discovered/noticed) fits the context of seeing something happen.

25. 高兴

• Context: 老奶奶______地说："谢谢你"。"高兴" (glad/happy) describes the grandmother's grateful response.

26. 认真

• Context: 小华______地回答。"认真" (seriously/sincerely) describes how he replied.

27. 认真

• Context: 小华在家里______地做功课。"认真" (diligently) describes doing homework.
• Note: "认真" is used twice in this passage, which is acceptable as the word box allows reuse or the teacher may adjust. If each word can only be used once, then 26 = 认真 and 27 = 仔细 (but 仔细 is already used in 23). In standard practice, the word box should have unique words. For this answer key, we assume the word box allows the most logical fit.

28. 帮助

• Context: 他还______妈妈做家务。"帮助" (help) fits the context of helping with housework.

29. 快乐

• Context: 心里感到非常______。"快乐" (joyful) describes his inner feeling after a good day.

30. 快乐

• Context: 帮助别人真的是一件______的事。"快乐" (joyful) describes the act of helping others.
• Note: If "快乐" is already used in 29, then 30 = 开心 (but 开心 is used in 21). This indicates the word box should be adjusted for a real exam. For this practice paper, the intended answers are:
  • 29: 快乐
  • 30: 开心 (if word box allows reuse) OR the word box should contain: 突然, 慢慢, 开心, 帮助, 发现, 仔细, 高兴, 认真, 美丽, 快乐, 愉快, 满足

Revised Word Box for Clarity (recommended for actual use):

With the revised box:

• 29: 愉快 (pleasant)
• 30: 快乐 (joyful)
