Answer Key & Marking Scheme Paper: WA1 - Reading Comprehension Practice (Version 8) Total Marks: 30

---

Section A: Visual Comprehension (看图理解)

Marks: 10

1. (3)
Reasoning: The image shows a bright sun and Grandpa Li is sweating/wiping his forehead. This indicates sunny and hot weather.
Common Mistake: Choosing "Rainy" or "Cloudy" ignores the visual cue of the sun and sweat.

2. (3)
Reasoning: The sign in the background explicitly says "Community Park" (社区公园). There are benches and open space typical of a park.
Common Mistake: Choosing "Bus stop" or "Classroom" ignores the specific label on the sign.

3. (2)
Reasoning: Grandpa Li is holding a handkerchief to his forehead while sitting in the hot sun. This is a common action to wipe away sweat.
Common Mistake: Choosing "Crying" misinterprets the gesture; there are no tears or sad expressions.

4. (3)
Reasoning: Xiao Ming is extending his hand with a water bottle towards Grandpa Li. This is a clear gesture of offering help/water.
Common Mistake: Choosing "Playing badminton" confuses Xiao Ming with the children in the background.

5. (2)
Reasoning: Xiao Ming is helping an elderly person who looks tired/hot. This demonstrates "Caring for the elderly" (敬老尊贤), a key moral value in Singapore Chinese education.
Common Mistake: Choosing "Honesty" is incorrect as no lost item or truth-telling scenario is depicted.

Section B: Cloze Passage (综合填空)

Marks: 10

6. (1)
Reasoning: The next sentence says "The sun was shining brightly," which describes a beautiful/nice day. "Terrible," "rainy," and "dark" contradict the sunny weather.
Teaching Note: Look for context clues in the following sentences to determine the adjective.

7. (2)
Reasoning: The monkeys "jumped from one tree to another" and "made funny faces." These are active behaviors. "Lazy," "sleepy," and "quiet" are the opposite of jumping and making faces.
Teaching Note: Match the adjective to the action verbs (jumped, made faces).

8. (3)
Reasoning: The elephant sprayed water on itself. In hot weather, this makes the elephant feel cool. It is not described as angry, scared, or dangerous.
Teaching Note: Consider the effect of the action (spraying water) on the subject.

9. (3)
Reasoning: The family shared food, talked, and the narrator learned a lesson about protecting animals. This makes the experience "meaningful." It was not boring, tiring (though they walked, the tone is positive), or sad.
Teaching Note: Look at the concluding sentiment of the paragraph.

10. (1)
Reasoning: The narrator enjoyed the trip and learned something. It is natural to want to return "soon." "Never" contradicts the positive tone. "Yesterday" and "late" do not fit grammatically or logically for a future hope.
Teaching Note: "Hope to... again soon" is a common closing phrase for recount texts.

Section C: Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)

Marks: 10

11. Ah Hui found the wallet on the ground / on the path.
Marking: 1 mark for "on the ground" or "on the path".
Reasoning: The text states, "he saw something black on the ground... He picked it up."

12. He saw a lot of money and an identification card.
Marking: 2 marks (1 for money, 1 for ID card).
Reasoning: The text explicitly lists these two items inside the wallet.
Common Mistake: Only mentioning money or forgetting the ID card.

13. He shook his head because he knew it was wrong to take someone else’s money and he knew Mr. Tan would be worried.
Marking: 2 marks (1 for knowing it is wrong/stealing, 1 for empathy/worry for owner).
Reasoning: Ah Hui’s internal dialogue shows his moral compass: "No, that is wrong. Mr. Tan must be very worried."

14. Mr. Tan felt anxious / worried.
Marking: 1 mark for "anxious" or "worried".
Reasoning: The text describes him as "looking very anxious" when he opened the door.

15. It tells us that Mr. Tan was very relieved and happy to get his wallet back.
Marking: 2 marks (1 for relieved, 1 for happy/grateful).
Reasoning: "Lit up with relief" is a metaphor for his expression changing from worry to happiness/relief upon seeing his lost property.

16. He refused the reward because he believed doing the right thing was its own reward / he did not do it for money.
Marking: 2 marks for explaining his moral motivation.
Reasoning: Ah Hui said, "Keeping the wallet safe is the right thing to do. I don’t need a reward." This shows intrinsic motivation.

17. (2)
Reasoning: Ah Hui returned the wallet despite the temptation to keep the money. This is the definition of honesty.

18. (Open-ended, accept reasonable answers)
Sample Answer: No, I would not keep the money. It belongs to Mr. Tan, and he might need it. Keeping it would be stealing.
Marking: 2 marks (1 for clear stance, 1 for valid moral reasoning).
Teaching Note: Students should justify their answer with a moral reason (e.g., honesty, empathy).

19. The main lesson is that we should be honest and return lost items to their owners.
Marking: 2 marks for identifying honesty/integrity as the core theme.
Reasoning: The story revolves around the choice to return the wallet and the positive outcome of that honest action.

20. The Lost Wallet / An Honest Boy / Ah Hui’s Good Deed
Marking: 1 mark for any relevant title.
Reasoning: The title should reflect the main object (wallet) or the main character’s trait (honesty).
