Answers
Primary 4 Chinese Quiz - Vocabulary (Answer Key)
Total Marks: 40
Section A: Character Recognition (辨字测验) [10 marks]
1. Answer: (1) 苹果
Explanation: "苹果" (píng guǒ) means "apple". The other options use incorrect characters: "平" (flat), "凭" (rely on), "萍" (duckweed) all have the same pronunciation but wrong meanings.
Common mistake: Confusing homophones (同音字). Remember "果" (fruit) pairs with "苹" for apple.
2. Answer: (2) 显
Explanation: "显" (xiǎn) means "to show/appear" as in "显得" (appears to be). "现" (xiàn) means "now/current", "险" (xiǎn) means "dangerous", "献" (xiàn) means "to offer".
Key concept: 显得 (xiǎn de) = appears/seems.
3. Answer: (3) 吩
Explanation: "吩咐" (fēn fù) means "to instruct/tell someone to do something". It is a compound word where both characters must be used together. "叫" (jiào) means "call", "吵" (chǎo) means "quarrel", "咐" alone is incomplete.
Key vocabulary: 吩咐 (instruction/order).
4. Answer: (3) 仔
Explanation: "仔细" (zǐ xì) means "careful/detailed". The sentence means "I thought carefully for a long time". "认" (rèn) means "recognise", "任" (rèn) means "duty", "细" (xì) alone means "fine/detailed" but needs "仔" to form the adverb "carefully".
Common mistake: Choosing "细" alone. Remember: 仔细 is a two-character word.
5. Answer: (1) 专
Explanation: "专心" (zhuān xīn) means "concentrated/focused". "专" means "specialised/focused". "砖" (zhuān) means "brick", "传" (chuán) means "pass on", "转" (zhuǎn) means "turn".
Key vocabulary: 专心 (focused/concentrated).
6. Answer: (3) 正
Explanation: "端正" (duān zhèng) means "upright/neat (handwriting)". "正" means "upright/correct". "端" (duān) means "upright" but needs "正" to complete the word. "短" (duǎn) means "short", "证" (zhèng) means "evidence".
Key vocabulary: 字迹端正 (neat handwriting).
7. Answer: (1) 特
Explanation: "特别" (tè bié) means "especially/particularly". "特" means "special". "提" (tí) means "lift/mention", "题" (tí) means "topic/question", "体" (tǐ) means "body/style".
Key vocabulary: 特别 (especially).
8. Answer: (1) 马
Explanation: "马上" (mǎ shàng) means "immediately/right away". "马" (horse) + "上" (on) = immediately. "码" (mǎ) means "code/yard", "骂" (mà) means "scold", "吗" (ma) is a question particle.
Key vocabulary: 马上 (immediately).
9. Answer: (1) 故
Explanation: "故事" (gù shi) means "story". "故" means "happened/old/story". The other "故" (option 2) is identical - this tests if you recognise the correct character for "story". "顾" (gù) means "look after", "雇" (gù) means "hire".
Note: Options (1) and (2) appear identical; in actual exams, they would differ (e.g., 故 vs 固). The correct character for "story" is 故.
10. Answer: (2) 斗
Explanation: "精神抖擞" (jīng shén dǒu sǒu) means "full of vigour/energy". "斗" (dǒu) here means "to rally/rouse". "抖" (dǒu) means "shake", "陡" (dǒu) means "steep", "豆" (dòu) means "bean". This is a set idiom (成语).
Key idiom: 精神抖擞 (energetic/spirited).
Section B: Word Choice (词语选择) [10 marks]
11. Answer: (3) 香喷喷
Explanation: "香喷喷" (xiāng pēn pēn) is an onomatopoeic/descriptive word (叠词) describing a strong, appetising smell. "闻名" (wén míng) means "famous", "香气" (xiāng qì) is a noun "fragrance", "闻起来" (wén qǐ lái) is a verb phrase "smells like". The sentence needs a descriptive word for the meat.
Key concept: AA式/叠词 for vivid description.
12. Answer: (1) 专心致志
Explanation: "专心致志" (zhuān xīn zhì zhì) means "fully concentrated/focused". It describes the brother playing intently. "心不在焉" (xīn bù zài yān) means "absent-minded" (opposite). "全神贯注" (quán shén guàn zhù) also means focused but "专心致志" is more commonly used for children playing. "一心一意" (yī xīn yī yì) means "wholehearted" (often for attitude, not momentary focus).
Key vocabulary: Four-character idioms describing concentration.
13. Answer: (2) 仍然
Explanation: "仍然" (réng rán) means "still/nevertheless" (formal written). "依然" (yī rán) also means "still" but often implies "as before". "还是" (hái shì) is colloquial "still/or". "依旧" (yī jiù) means "as of old". In written narrative, "仍然" fits best for "did not give up despite difficulty".
Nuance: 仍然 > written narrative; 还是 > spoken.
14. Answer: (1) 保护
Explanation: "保护环境" (bǎo hù huán jìng) = "protect the environment" (standard collocation). "爱护" (ài hù) = "cherish/take care of" (e.g., 爱护公物). "维护" (wéi hù) = "maintain/uphold" (e.g., 维护和平). "保养" (bǎo yǎng) = "maintain/service" (e.g., 保养汽车).
Key concept: Word collocation (搭配) - 保护 + 环境.
15. Answer: (1) 不小心
Explanation: "不小心" (bù xiǎo xīn) = "carelessly/by accident". Fits "fell accidentally". "不知不觉" (bù zhī bù jué) = "unconsciously/gradually". "不由自主" (bù yóu zì zhǔ) = "involuntarily". "不得不" (bù dé bù) = "have to/must".
Key vocabulary: Adverbial phrases for manner.
16. Answer: (1) 不但……而且
Explanation: "不但……而且" (bù dàn... ér qiě) = "not only... but also". The sentence lists two actions: praised AND criticised. "虽然……但是" = "although... but" (contrast). "因为……所以" = "because... so" (cause-effect). "如果……就" = "if... then" (condition).
Key grammar: Correlative conjunctions (关联词).
17. Answer: (1) 栩栩如生
Explanation: "栩栩如生" (xǔ xǔ rú shēng) = "lifelike/vivid" (for paintings, sculptures). "惟妙惟肖" (wéi miào wéi xiào) = "extremely realistic" (also for art). "活灵活现" (huó líng huó xiàn) = "vivid/lifelike" (often for descriptions/narratives). "画龙点睛" (huà lóng diǎn jīng) = "finishing touch". For a painting described as "figures about to walk out", "栩栩如生" is the most standard collocation.
Key idiom: 栩栩如生 (lifelike - visual arts).
18. Answer: (1) 低落
Explanation: "心情低落" (xīn qíng dī luò) = "low spirits/downcast" (standard collocation). "沉重" (chén zhòng) = "heavy" (burden/heart). "压抑" (yā yì) = "suppressed/repressed" (feelings/atmosphere). "郁闷" (yù mèn) = "depressed/stifled" (more colloquial). "低落" best pairs with "心情".
Key concept: Adjective-noun collocation.
19. Answer: (1) 原本
Explanation: "原本" (yuán běn) = "originally/at first" (implies change later). "本来" (běn lái) = "originally" (similar but "原本" emphasises the contrast with what happened later). "最初" (zuì chū) = "at the very beginning" (time sequence). "起先" (qǐ xiān) = "at first" (then changed). "原本" fits the narrative of a plan that changed due to rain.
Nuance: 原本 > plan changed; 最初 > first in sequence.
20. Answer: (4) 真心
Explanation: "真心" (zhēn xīn) = "sincere/from the heart" (adverb: 真心地). "真诚" (zhēn chéng) = "sincere" (adjective for person/attitude). "诚实" (chéng shí) = "honest". "诚恳" (chéng kěn) = "sincere/earnest" (attitude/apology). "真心地" (sincerely) modifies "送上" (gave/sent).
Key grammar: Adverbial use of 真心 vs adjectival 真诚/诚恳.
