- A. 圆 means "round" (circle shape)
- B. 园 means "garden/park" — correct

Q6. Answer: B. 害羞 (1 mark)
Explanation: The sentence says "妹妹很（ ），看到陌生人就会躲在妈妈身后" (younger sister is very ___, she hides behind mummy when she sees strangers).
- A. 勇敢 (brave) — contradicts hiding behaviour
- B. 害羞 (shy) — correct, hiding from strangers shows shyness
- C. 生气 (angry) — no evidence of anger
- D. 高兴 (happy) — no evidence of happiness
Teaching note: Look for context clues in the sentence. Hiding behind mother indicates shyness.

- B. 虽然 (although) — requires a contrasting clause
- C. 因为 (because) — requires a reason clause
- D. 如果 (if) — "如果努力" means "if work hard", but the sentence structure with 才能 suggests 只要 is better
Teaching note: 只要……才能…… is a common pattern meaning "as long as...then can..."
Q8. Answer: C. 准时 (1 mark)
Explanation: The sentence says "爷爷每天（ ）去公园打太极拳" (grandfather goes to the park to do tai chi ___ every day).
- A. 突然 (suddenly) — doesn't fit with "每天" (every day)
- B. 已经 (already) — doesn't fit grammatically here
- C. 准时 (on time/punctually) — correct, describes regular habit
- D. 马上 (immediately) — doesn't fit with "每天"
Teaching note: "每天" indicates a regular routine, so we need a word that describes regularity.
Q9. Answer: A. 认真地 (1 mark)
Explanation: The sentence says "同学们（ ）完成了老师布置的作业" (classmates ___ completed the homework assigned by the teacher).
- A. 认真地 (seriously/carefully) — correct, describes doing homework properly
- B. 慢慢地 (slowly) — possible but less natural for completing homework
- C. 轻轻地 (gently) — doesn't fit with completing homework
- D. 高高地 (highly) — doesn't fit
Teaching note: 地 is used before verbs to form adverbial phrases. 认真地完成 means "to complete seriously".
Q10. Answer: B. 有趣 (1 mark)
Explanation: The sentence says "这个故事很（ ），大家都听得津津有味" (this story is very ___, everyone listened with great interest).
- A. 无聊 (boring) — contradicts "津津有味" (with great interest)
- B. 有趣 (interesting) — correct, matches the reaction
- C. 难过 (sad) — doesn't match the context
- D. 简单 (simple) — doesn't explain why everyone is interested
Teaching note: "津津有味" is a key clue — it means listening with great enjoyment, so the story must be interesting.
Section C: 词语搭配 (Word Collocation) — Questions 11-15
Q11. Answer: (1) 保护 (1 mark)
Explanation: 爱护保护 (care for and protect) — "爱护" and "保护" are synonyms that form a natural collocation meaning "to care for and protect".
Teaching note: 爱护 (ài hù) and 保护 (bǎo hù) both relate to caring for something. Together they form a common phrase.
Q12. Answer: (6) 任务 (1 mark)
Explanation: 完成任务 (complete the task) — "完成" (to complete) pairs with "任务" (task).
Teaching note: 完成 + 任务 is a very common verb-object collocation in Chinese.
Q13. Answer: (5) 强壮 (1 mark)
Explanation: 强壮身体 (strong body) — "强壮" (strong) describes "身体" (body).
Teaching note: 强壮 is an adjective used to describe a strong, healthy body.
Q14. Answer: (3) 准时 (1 mark)
Explanation: 准时上学 (arrive at school on time) — "准时" (on time) modifies "上学" (go to school).
Teaching note: 准时 is an adverb meaning "punctually/on time". It commonly pairs with 上学, 上班, 到达.
Q15. Answer: (4) 摆动 (1 mark)
Explanation: 摆动尾巴 (wag the tail) — "摆动" (to sway/wag) pairs with "尾巴" (tail).
Teaching note: Animals wag their tails (摆动尾巴). This is a natural action collocation.
Section D: 造句 (Sentence Construction) — Questions 16-18
Q16. Sample Answer: 因为今天下雨，所以我们没有去公园玩。 (1 mark)
Explanation: The pattern 因为……所以…… means "because...therefore...".
- First clause: 因为 + reason (because it rained today)

Marking notes: - 1 mark: Correct use of both 因为 and 所以 in the correct order
- 0.5 mark: Uses one part correctly but not the other
- 0 mark: Neither part used correctly or sentence is incomplete
Common mistake: Students may use 因为 without 所以, or put them in the wrong order.
Q17. Sample Answer: 我一边唱歌，一边跳舞。 (1 mark)
Explanation: The pattern 一边……一边…… means "while doing one thing, doing another simultaneously".
- Both actions happen at the same time
- Structure: 一边 + action 1 + 一边 + action 2
Marking notes: - 1 mark: Correct use of both 一边, with two simultaneous actions
- 0.5 mark: Uses one 一边 correctly
- 0 mark: Actions are not simultaneous or structure is wrong
Common mistake: Students may use 一边 for sequential actions (e.g., 我一边吃饭，一边睡觉 — these cannot happen at the same time).
Q18. Sample Answer: 我先做作业，再去看电视。 (1 mark)
Explanation: The pattern 先……再…… means "first...then..." indicating sequence.
- 先 + first action
- 再 + second action (after the first)
Marking notes: - 1 mark: Correct use of both 先 and 再 with clear sequence
- 0.5 mark: Uses one part correctly
- 0 mark: No clear sequence or structure wrong
Common mistake: Students may confuse 再 with 在 (both pronounced zài).
