Section C: 词语搭配 (Word Collocation) (5 Questions x 1 Mark = 5 Marks)

Word Bank: (1) 保护 (2) 准时 (3) 强壮 (4) 摆动 (5) 翻开 (6) 回到

Q11. ______动物 ( )

• Correct Answer: (1) 保护
• Explanation: "保护动物" (bǎo hù dòng wù) means "to protect animals". 保护 (protect) is a verb that pairs with 动物 (animals) to form a common phrase.
• Common Mistake: Students may pair 强壮 with 动物, but 强壮 means "strong" and is an adjective, not a verb.

Q12. ______上学 ( )

• Correct Answer: (2) 准时
• Explanation: "准时上学" (zhǔn shí shàng xué) means "to arrive at school on time". 准时 (on time) is an adverb that pairs with 上学 (go to school).
• Common Mistake: Students may pair 回到 with 上学, but 回到 means "return to" and doesn't fit naturally.

Q13. ______身体 ( )

• Correct Answer: (3) 强壮
• Explanation: "强壮身体" (qiáng zhuàng shēn tǐ) means "strong body". 强壮 (strong) is an adjective that describes 身体 (body).
• Common Mistake: Students may pair 保护 with 身体, but 保护 means "protect" and the phrase would be "保护身体" which is also valid but less common in this context.

Q14. ______尾巴 ( )

• Correct Answer: (4) 摆动
• Explanation: "摆动尾巴" (bǎi dòng wěi ba) means "to wag the tail". 摆动 (to wag/swing) is a verb that pairs with 尾巴 (tail), often used for animals.

Q15. ______书页 ( )

• Correct Answer: (5) 翻开
• Explanation: "翻开书页" (fān kāi shū yè) means "to open the pages of a book". 翻开 (to open/turn over) is a verb that pairs with 书页 (book pages).

Q16. ________

• Correct Answer: (4) 伙伴
• Explanation: "好伙伴" (hǎo huǒ bàn) means "good friends" or "good partners". The sentence says "Xiao Ming and Xiao Hua are good friends." 伙伴 fits the context of friendship.
• Common Mistake: Students may choose 邻居 for Q16, but the next sentence says they are neighbours, so Q16 must be a different relationship.

Q17. ________

• Correct Answer: (6) 邻居
• Explanation: "邻居" (lín jū) means "neighbour". The sentence says "They live in the same estate, they are neighbours." This follows logically from Q16.
• Common Mistake: Students may confuse the order and put 邻居 in Q16.

Q18. ________

• Correct Answer: (1) 希望
• Explanation: "希望" (xī wàng) means "to hope". The sentence says "Xiao Ming hopes to be taller." 希望 fits the context of expressing a desire.
• Common Mistake: Students may choose 愿望 (wish/noun) instead of 希望 (to hope/verb). 愿望 is a noun and doesn't fit the verb position.

Q19. ________

• Correct Answer: (3) 个子
• Explanation: "个子" (gè zi) means "height" (of a person). The sentence says "because his height is relatively short." 个子 fits the context of describing physical height.

Q20. ________

• Correct Answer: (5) 练习
• Explanation: "练习" (liàn xí) means "to practice". The sentence says "As long as you practice jumping rope more, you can grow taller!" 练习 fits the context of doing an activity to achieve a goal.
