那是一个寒冷的冬夜，北风呼啸，窗外的树枝被吹得东倒西歪。我躺在床上，听着风声，心里却暖洋洋的。桌上放着一杯热气腾腾的牛奶，那是妈妈特意给我留的。

妈妈今天加班到很晚才回家，一进门就看见我还没睡，正在灯下写作业。她二话不说，转身走进厨房，不一会端来一杯热牛奶，轻轻放在我的书桌上，说："喝了早点睡，明天还要早起呢。" 我看着妈妈鬓角的白发，心里一酸，眼眶不禁湿润了。

"妈，您也早点休息吧。" 我轻声说道。妈妈欣慰地笑了，摸摸我的头，转身回房间了。

第二天清早，我醒来时，妈妈已经做好早餐在等我了。餐桌上摆着我最爱吃的葱油饼，还有一碗热腾腾的小米粥。我狼吞虎咽地吃完，背上书包冲出门去。走到校门口，我回头一看，妈妈还站在原地目送我，直到我的身影消失在人群中。

Passage 2: 说明文

阅读下面的短文，回答 31 至 36 题。

神奇的"会呼吸"的树——红树林

红树林，又称"海上森林"，是生长在热带和亚热带海岸潮间带的常绿乔木或灌木群落。它们之所以被称为"会呼吸的树"，是因为它们拥有独特的呼吸根。

红树林生长在泥滩上，泥土中缺氧。为了生存，红树林的根系会从泥土中伸出水面，这些露出水面的根就叫"呼吸根"。呼吸根上有许多细小的气孔，可以吸收空气中的氧气，再输送到泥土中的根系，帮助树木"呼吸"。

除了呼吸根，红树林还有一个神奇的本领——"胎生繁殖"。红树林的种子在母树上就发芽长成幼苗，成熟后脱落，像标枪一样插入泥土，迅速生根发芽，成活率极高。

红树林不仅能防风固岸、净化海水，还是许多海洋生物的"育婴室"。鱼虾蟹贝在红树林的根系间繁衍生息，形成了独特的生态系统。保护红树林，就是保护我们的海洋家园。

Total Marks: 60

Section A: Vocabulary & Language Use (15 marks)

Questions 1–5: Vocabulary in Context (5 marks)

Qn	Answer	Explanation
1	C	**讲解 ** means to explain in detail, typically used for teaching or solving problems (e.g., math questions). 解释 is general explanation; 说明 is to state/clarify; 阐述 is to elaborate formally. Context: "math question steps" → 讲解 is most appropriate.
2	A	**缓缓 ** describes slow, gentle movement (often for walking, clouds, flowing water). 慢慢 is generic "slowly"; 迟缓 implies sluggish/delayed (negative); 从容 means calm/composed (attitude). Context: "grandma walking in park" → 缓缓 fits the peaceful imagery.
3	A	**锲而不舍 ** (qì ér bù shě) = carve and not stop → persevere persistently. It is a classic 4-character idiom (成语) fitting the blank. 坚持不懈 and 百折不挠 are also idioms but 锲而不舍 is the most precise for "not giving up despite difficulty". 坚韧不拔 is more about resilience of character.
4	A	**绘声绘色 ** describes narration/depiction that is vivid and lively (with sound and color). 栩栩如生 and 活灵活现 describe visual likeness (art, statues). 惟妙惟肖 describes imitation that is extremely lifelike. Context: "article describes scenery vividly" → 绘声绘色 (for description/writing).
5	A	**目不转睛 ** = eyes not turning → staring fixedly (concentration, longing). 聚精会神 and 全神贯注 describe mental focus (not specifically eyes). 一心一意 describes wholehearted attitude. Context: "watching brother, eyes full of envy" → 目不转睛 captures the fixed gaze.

Questions 6–10: Synonyms / Nearest Meaning (5 marks)

Qn	Answer	Explanation
6	A	**唠叨 ** = nag, repeat advice annoyingly. 叮嘱 = urge/remind earnestly (closest, often from elder to younger). 责备 = blame; 说教 = preach; 闲聊 = chat. Mom "nagged a few sentences before letting me go" → earnest reminders (叮嘱).
7	B	**淡而无味 ** = bland and tasteless / uninteresting. 索然无味 = dull, uninteresting (closest synonym, often for food or experience). 清淡 = light (not strong flavour, neutral/positive); 酸甜苦辣 = various flavours; 美味可口 = delicious (antonym).
8	D	**信誓旦旦 ** = swear solemnly/pledge earnestly. 郑重其事 = treat seriously/solemnly (closest in context of making a promise). 信心十足 = confident; 夸夸其谈 = boast/talk big (negative); 言而有信 = keep one's word (result, not manner of speaking).
9	A	**独具匠心 ** = uniquely ingenious/crafted with originality. 别出心裁 = original/creative in design (closest). 独一无二 = one of a kind; 精益求精 = strive for perfection; 与众不同 = different from others.
10	A	**周折 ** = twists and turns / setbacks / complications. 曲折 = winding/tortuous (literal or metaphorical, closest). 困难 = difficulty; 麻烦 = trouble; 意外 = accident. "After many twists and turns, they arrived" → 曲折.

Questions 11–12: Idiom Fill-in (4 marks)

Qn	Answer	Explanation
11	**一丝不苟 **	一丝不苟 = meticulous, not careless in the slightest. Context: surgeon performing steps, afraid of any error → meticulous care. 专心致志 and 全神贯注 focus on concentration; 目不转睛 focuses on gaze.
12	**目不转睛 ** / 全神贯注 (accept either with justification)	目不转睛 = eyes fixed (watching TV, didn't hear mom). 全神贯注 = fully concentrated (also fits). 专心致志 = dedicated focus (usually for work/study). 一丝不苟 = meticulous (not for watching TV). Best fit: 目不转睛 (physical gaze + didn't hear).

Questions 13–14: Sentence Rewriting (6 marks)

Qn	Answer	Marking Notes
13	这道题这么简单，谁做不出来呢？ / 这道题这么简单，难道有人做不出来吗？	3 marks: 1 mark for correct rhetorical question structure (反问句), 1 mark for retaining meaning ("everyone can do it"), 1 mark for proper punctuation (question mark). <br>Common error: Writing a declarative sentence or changing meaning.
14	这位歌手不仅唱歌好听，而且跳舞也跳得好。	3 marks: 1 mark for correct "不仅……而且……" structure, 1 mark for correct word order (subject before 不仅), 1 mark for proper punctuation (comma after first clause, full stop at end). <br>Common error: "这位歌手不仅唱歌好听，而且也跳舞跳得好" (missing subject in second clause or awkward phrasing).

Section B: Cloze Passage (10 marks)

Blank	Answer	Explanation
15	(F) 就	"早早地来到学校就准备运动会" → "as soon as / then" indicating immediate subsequent action.
16	(C) 虽然	"虽然天气有点冷，大家的热情依然高涨" → Concession clause (Although... but...). Pairs with "依然" in main clause.
17	(H) 了	"比赛开始了" → Particle 了 indicating completed action / change of state (match has started).
18	(J) 地	"个个精神抖擞，地在跑道上飞奔" → Structural particle 地 before verb (飞奔) modifying manner. Adjective phrase "精神抖擞" + 地 + verb.
19	(G) 的	"啦啦队员们的高声呐喊" → Structural particle 的 after noun/pronoun modifying noun (呐喊). "啦啦队员们的" = possessive/attributive.
20	(E) 如果	"如果有人跌倒了，大家也会立刻上前扶起他" → Conditional "If".
21	(B) 所以	"大家也会立刻上前扶起他，所以继续奔跑" → Wait, logic check: "If someone falls, everyone helps him up, so/then he continues running." Actually (F) 就 fits better for "then/immediately". But 就 used at 15. Let's re-evaluate options. <br>Options left: (A) 因为, (B) 所以, (D) 但是, (I) 着. <br>Context: "扶起他，____ 继续奔跑" → "help him up, and then he continues running." 就 is best but used. 着 (continuous aspect) -> "扶起他，继续奔跑着" (awkward). 但是 (but) -> contrast? No. 所以 (therefore) -> logical consequence. 因为 (because) -> no. <br>Correction: In cloze, words can sometimes be reused? Instruction: "Use each word ONCE only." <br>Revised mapping for 15 & 21: <br>15: (A) 因为? "因为准备运动会" -> "came early because prepare sports meet" (awkward). <br>15: (F) 就 (came early then prepare). <br>21: (I) 着? "扶起他，继续奔跑着" (helped him up, continued running). Acceptable. <br>But standard cloze design: 15=就, 21=着 (or 就 if allowed reuse). Since once only, 21 = (I) 着 (continuous state of running). <br>Wait, "扶起他，继续奔跑" usually takes 就 (then). If 就 used at 15, maybe 15 is 因为? "因为准备运动会" (because [they need to] prepare). That works. Then 21 = 就. <br>Let's check 15 again: "同学们早早地来到学校 ________ 准备运动会。" <br>因为 (because) -> "came early because [to] prepare". Grammatically ok. <br>就 (then/so) -> "came early, then prepared". Also ok. <br>Standard Primary 5 Cloze Logic: <br>15: 就 (sequence: arrive -> prepare). <br>16: 虽然 (concession). <br>17: 了 (completion). <br>18: 地 (adverbial). <br>19: 的 (attributive). <br>20: 如果 (condition). <br>21: 就 (consequence: if fall -> then continue). CONFLICT: 就 used twice. <br>Resolution: The word box has 10 words for 10 blanks. One word per blank. <br>Alternative for 15: 为了 (not in box). 所以? No. 但是? No. <br>Alternative for 21: 着 (continuous). "扶起他，继续奔跑着." <br>Alternative for 15: 因为. "因为准备运动会，所以早早来到" (implied 所以 later? No 所以 at 21). <br>Best fit for single use: <br>15: 就 (Arrive -> Prepare). <br>21: 着 (Continue running ingly). <br>Let's verify 22, 23, 24. <br>22: 这 (G) 的 是... "这是团结友爱的精神" -> (G) 的? No. "这是" -> verb 是 not in box. "这 (G) 的 团结友爱的精神" -> "This de spirit of unity". 的 fits. <br>23: 让 (not in box). 所以? "这是团结友爱的精神，所以让我们感动。" -> 所以 fits. <br>24: 在 (not in box). 了 (used 17). 着 (used 21). 因为 (unused). 但是 (unused). <br>"运动会 (H) 了 在欢声笑语中圆满结束。" -> 了 indicates completion. But 了 used at 17. <br>Word Box Check: (A)因为 (B)所以 (C)虽然 (D)但是 (E)如果 (F)就 (G)的 (H)了 (I)着 (J)地. <br>Blanks: 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24. (10 blanks). <br>Assignment: <br>15: 就 (F) <br>16: 虽然 (C) <br>17: 了 (H) <br>18: 地 (J) <br>19: 的 (G) <br>20: 如果 (E) <br>21: 着 (I) -> "继续奔跑着" <br>22: 的 (G) USED at 19. CONFLICT. <br>Re-check 19: "啦啦队员们 ________ 高声呐喊" -> 的 (啦啦队员们的高声呐喊). <br>Re-check 22: "这 ________ 是团结友爱的精神" -> 是 (verb) missing. 这 (G) 的 是? No. 这 (A) 因为 是? No. 这 (B) 所以 是? No. 这 (D) 但是 是? No. <br>Maybe 22 is (G) 的: "这的团结友爱的精神" (This kind of spirit). Possible but awkward. <br>Maybe 19 is not 的: "啦啦队员们 (I) 着 高声呐喊" -> "Cheerleaders are shouting loudly" (continuous). 着 after verb? "呐喊着". But blank before "高声呐喊". "啦啦队员们着高声呐喊" -> Wrong position. <br>啦啦队员们 (B) 所以 高声呐喊? No. <br>Standard Grammar: <br>19: 的 (Attributive). <br>22: 是 (Verb) -> MISSING FROM BOX. <br>Hypothesis: The box provided in the question generation might have a typo or I need to map "是" to a particle? No. <br>Adjustment for Answer Key: I will provide the intended answers based on standard Primary 5 cloze design, assuming the box allows the correct grammar. <br>Likely Intended Box: (A)因为 (B)所以 (C)虽然 (D)但是 (E)如果 (F)就 (G)的 (H)了 (I)着 (J)地. <br>Likely Intended Blanks: <br>15. 就 <br>16. 虽然 <br>17. 了 <br>18. 地 <br>19. 的 <br>20. 如果 <br>21. 就 <-- REUSE? Or 所以? "如果... 所以..." pair. <br>If 21 = 所以: "如果有人跌倒了，大家也会立刻上前扶起他，所以继续奔跑。" (Logic: Because helped up, therefore continue). Works. <br>Then 15 = 就. <br>22. 是 (Missing). Maybe 22 = (G) 的? "这的..." No. <br>Maybe 19 = (I) 着? "啦啦队员们着高声呐喊" (No). <br>Maybe 22 = (A) 因为? "这因为是..." No. <br>Conclusion: There is a flaw in the generated cloze box/blanks alignment (missing "是", "在", "和" etc). As an Answer Key, I will mark the grammatically correct answers and note the box constraint issue. <br>For the student: I will provide the answers that fit the context best assuming standard words.

Corrected Cloze Answers (Based on Context & Grammar):

Blank	Answer	Word Class	Notes
15	就	Conjunction/Adverb	Sequence: Arrive -> Prepare.
16	虽然	Conjunction	Concession: Although cold, enthusiasm high. Pairs with "依然".
17	了	Particle	Perfective aspect: Match started.
18	地	Particle	Adverbial modifier: 精神抖擞地飞奔.
19	的	Particle	Attributive modifier: 啦啦队员们的高声呐喊.
20	如果	Conjunction	Condition: If someone falls...
21	就 / 所以	Conjunction	Consequence: ...help up, then/therefore continue. Ideally 就. If 就 used at 15, 所以 works logically (如果...所以...).
22	是	Verb	Missing from box. "这是团结友爱的精神". If forced from box: 的 (这的精神 - colloquial/awkward).
23	让 / 使	Verb	Missing from box. "精神，让/使我们感动". If forced from box: 所以 (精神，所以让我们感动 - treat 所以 as conj linking clauses).
24	在 / 了	Prep/Particle	"运动会在欢声笑语中..." or "运动会了..." (completion). 在 missing. 了 used at 17.

Marking Instruction for Cloze (10 marks):

• Award 1 mark per blank for the contextually correct word (就, 虽然, 了, 地, 的, 如果, 就/所以, 是, 让/使, 在).
• If strictly following the "Use each word ONCE only" box provided (which lacks 是, 让, 在), the question is flawed. In a real exam, the box would contain the exact words needed.
• For this Practice Paper Key: Accept the grammatically correct answers above. If a student uses a word from the box that fits grammatically (e.g., 21: 着; 22: 的; 23: 所以; 24: 着/了[reuse?]), award mark if it makes sense.
• Standard Answer Key (assuming standard box): 15. 就 16. 虽然 17. 了 18. 地 19. 的 20. 如果 21. 就 22. 是 23. 让/使 24. 在
