Total Marks: 20

Section A: Vocabulary & Sentence Starters for Speaking (5 marks)

1. (A) 野餐 [1 mark]

Explanation: The sentence says "Today the weather is very good, our whole family goes to the park to ______." The most logical activity for a family in a park on a nice day is "野餐" (picnic).

• 野营 (camping) usually involves staying overnight.
• 远足 (hiking) is more about walking long distances.
• 游泳 (swimming) needs a pool or beach, not just a park.
  Key concept: Choose the verb that matches the context (park + good weather + family).

2. (B) 草莓 [1 mark]

Explanation: "妹妹最喜欢吃 ______，每次去超市都要买一盒。" (Little sister likes to eat ______ most, every time she goes to the supermarket she must buy a box.)

• Strawberries (草莓) are commonly sold in boxes (一盒) at supermarkets.
• Watermelon (西瓜) is usually sold by weight or whole/half, not "a box".
• Oranges (橙子) and apples (苹果) are usually sold in bags or nets, not typically "一盒".
  Key concept: Match the measure word "盒" (box) with the correct fruit.

3. (C) 自豪 [1 mark]

Explanation: "哥哥考得很好，爸爸妈妈都为他感到 ______。" (Brother did very well in the exam, parents feel ______ for him.)

• 自豪 (proud) is the positive emotion parents feel when a child succeeds.
• 生气 (angry), 担心 (worried), 失望 (disappointed) are negative and do not fit "考得很好".
  Key concept: Infer emotion from the cause (good result → positive feeling).

4. (D) 只有 [1 mark]

Explanation: "我 ______ 完成作业，才可以去玩。" (I ______ finish homework, then can go play.)

• 只有 (only if) + 才 (then) is a fixed pair showing a necessary condition.
• 虽然 (although) pairs with 但是 (but).
• 因为 (because) pairs with 所以 (therefore).
• 如果 (if) pairs with 就 (then) but doesn't fit the "才" structure here.
  Key concept: Recognise the "只有……才……" (only if… then…) sentence structure for necessary conditions.

5. (A) 特别 [1 mark]

Explanation: "今天是我的生日，同学们送了我一份 ______ 的礼物。" (Today is my birthday, classmates gave me a ______ gift.)

• 特别 (special) fits a birthday gift from classmates.
• 普通 (ordinary), 便宜 (cheap), 旧的 (old) are inappropriate for a birthday gift context.
  Key concept: Choose the adjective with positive connotation for a celebratory context.
