小明是个热爱画画的男孩。每天放学后，他都会跑到公园的长椅上，拿出画本和彩色铅笔，专心地描绘眼前的景色。公园里的花草树木、嬉戏的小鸟、湖面倒影的白云，都是他的绘画对象。
一天下午，天空突然乌云密布，大雨倾盆而下。小明来不及收拾画具，只好躲在凉亭里避雨。雨越下越大，雷声轰鸣，小明吓得缩成一团。这时，一位白发苍苍的老爷爷走了过来，把雨伞递给小明，笑着说：「小朋友，拿着伞回家吧，别淋湿了。」
小明接过雨伞，感激地看着老爷爷：「谢谢爷爷，您自己怎么办？」
老爷爷摸摸小明的头，慈祥地说：「我家就住在前面，跑回去就好了。你慢走。」
小明撑着伞跑回家，回头望去，老爷爷的身影已消失在雨幕中。回到家，小明拿出画本，用最鲜艳的颜色画下了那把雨伞和老爷爷的笑容。从那以后，小明的画多了一个主题——传递温暖。

Section B: Expository Text Comprehension (说明文理解) [12 marks]
Read the following passage carefully and answer Questions 9–14.
神奇的萤火虫
萤火虫是一种会发光的昆虫，它们身体末端有发光器官。萤火虫发光不是为了照明，而是为了求偶和警告天敌。不同种类的萤火虫，发光的颜色、频率和节奏都不一样，就像它们专属的「密码」。
萤火虫的生命周期分四个阶段：卵、幼虫、蛹、成虫。幼虫期最长，可达一两年；成虫期却很短，只有几天到几周。成虫不进食，只专注于繁衍后代。萤火虫喜欢栖息在潮湿、植被茂盛、光污染少的环境，如溪流旁、林地和草丛。
近年来，由于城市化发展、光污染加剧、农药使用和栖息地破坏，萤火虫数量锐减。保护萤火虫，需要减少夜间人造光、减少农药使用、保留自然植被和水源。每个人都可以从身边做起，为萤火虫留一片黑暗的天空。
Questions 9–11: Multiple Choice (3 × 2 = 6 marks)

(A) 照亮道路

1. Answer: (C)
Explanation: The passage states "每天放学后，他都会跑到公园的长椅上...专心地描绘眼前的景色" (Every day after school, he would run to the park bench... to depict the scenery before him). Option C matches this detail directly.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
2. Answer: (B)

Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
3. Answer: (B)
Explanation: "缩成一团" (curled up into a ball) is a physical reaction to fear. The context "雷声轰鸣，小明吓得缩成一团" (thunder roared, Xiao Ming curled up in fear) confirms the emotion is fear (害怕).
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
4. Answer: (B)
Explanation: The final sentence shows Xiao Ming was moved by the grandfather's kindness ("被老爷爷的善举感动") and chose to paint this theme to spread warmth ("想用画笔传递爱心"). The vibrant colours reflect his gratitude and the warmth he felt.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
Questions 5–8: Open-Ended (4 × 2 = 8 marks)
5. Answer: 小明平时画公园里的花草树木、嬉戏的小鸟、湖面倒影的白云。（任选两个即可）[2]
Explanation: The passage lists three things: "公园里的花草树木、嬉戏的小鸟、湖面倒影的白云". Any two correct examples earn full marks.
Marking: 1 mark per correct example (max 2 marks).
Common mistake: Writing only one example or giving examples not in the text.
6. Answer: 老爷爷把雨伞给小明，告诉他家住在附近跑回去就好，还摸摸他的头说「你慢走」。[2]
Explanation: The question asks how the grandfather comforted Xiao Ming. Key actions: giving the umbrella, explaining he lives nearby, patting his head, and saying "take your time".
Marking: 1 mark for giving umbrella + explanation; 1 mark for patting head/kind words.
Teaching note: "用自己的话回答" means paraphrase, not copy whole sentences.
7. Answer: 因为小明被老爷爷无私的善举深深感动，用鲜艳的颜色表达他内心的温暖和感激，也想把这份温暖记录下来、传递给别人。[2]
Explanation: "最鲜艳的颜色" symbolizes strong positive emotions—gratitude, warmth, and the desire to preserve and share this kindness. The answer should link the colour choice to the emotional impact.
Marking: 1 mark for identifying being moved/gratitude; 1 mark for explaining the symbolic meaning of vibrant colours (warmth, passing it on).
8. Answer: 我会把伞分给老爷爷一起撑，或陪他跑回家，因为老爷爷年纪大了，独自在雨中很危险，我们要互相帮助。（合理回答即可）[2]
Explanation: This is an inference/values question. Accept any reasonable, kind response with justification (e.g., sharing umbrella, walking him home, calling family). The reason must show empathy for the elderly.
Marking: 1 mark for a reasonable action; 1 mark for a valid reason (empathy/safety).
Teaching note: No single "correct" answer, but must demonstrate caring values.
Section B: Expository Text Comprehension (说明文理解) [12 marks]
Questions 9–11: Multiple Choice (3 × 2 = 6 marks)
9. Answer: (B)
Explanation: The passage explicitly states "萤火虫发光不是为了照明，而是为了求偶和警告天敌" (Fireflies glow not for lighting, but for mating and warning predators).
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.

Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
Questions 12–14: Open-Ended (3 × 2 = 6 marks)
12. Answer: 因为不同种类的萤火虫发光的颜色、频率和节奏都不一样，这是它们特有的识别信号，像密码一样让同类辨认。[2]
Explanation: The passage says "不同种类的萤火虫，发光的颜色、频率和节奏都不一样，就像它们专属的『密码』". The answer should explain that these unique patterns serve as species-specific identification signals.
Marking: 1 mark for mentioning different colours/frequencies/rhythms; 1 mark for explaining the function (species recognition/mating signal).
13. Answer: 成虫期短且不进食，是为了将所有精力专注于繁衍后代（交配、产卵），完成生命使命。[2]
Explanation: The passage states "成虫期却很短，只有几天到几周。成虫不进食，只专注于繁衍后代". This is a biological adaptation—energy is directed solely to reproduction.
Marking: 1 mark for "focus on reproduction"; 1 mark for "short lifespan/no eating supports this goal".
14. Answer: （任选两个）减少夜间人造光、减少农药使用、保留自然植被和水源。[2]
Explanation: The last paragraph lists four specific measures. Any two correct ones earn full marks.
Marking: 1 mark per correct measure (max 2 marks).
Section C: Vocabulary in Context (词汇与表达) [12 marks]
Questions 15–17: Choose the closest meaning (3 × 2 = 6 marks)
15. Answer: (B) 和蔼可亲
Explanation: "慈祥" (cí xiáng) means kind, gentle, benevolent—typically describing an elderly person's demeanor. "和蔼可亲" (kind and approachable) is the closest synonym. "严厉" (strict), "冷漠" (cold), "焦急" (anxious) are antonyms or unrelated.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
Teaching note: Context clue: "摸摸小明的头，慈祥地说" (patted head, spoke kindly) supports the meaning.
16. Answer: (B) 急剧减少
Explanation: "锐减" (ruì jiǎn) = 锐利地减少 = sharp/deep reduction. "急剧减少" (drastic decrease) is the exact synonym. "缓慢下降" (slow decline) is opposite; "保持不变" (unchanged) and "略有增加" (slight increase) are wrong.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
17. Answer: (C) 全神贯注
Explanation: "专心" (zhuān xīn) means focused, concentrated. "全神贯注" (fully concentrated) is the closest idiom. "随意" (casual), "马虎" (careless), "犹豫不决" (hesitant) are antonyms.
Marking: 2 marks for correct answer.
Context clue: "专心地描绘" (depicted with focus) matches "全神贯注".
Questions 18–20: Fill in the blanks (3 × 2 = 6 marks)
18. Answer: 倾盆而下
Explanation: "大雨倾盆而下" (heavy rain pouring down) is a fixed collocation (成语). The context "路上行人都撑起了雨伞" (pedestrians put up umbrellas) confirms heavy rain.
Marking: 2 marks for correct word.
Common mistake: Using "茂盛" (lush) or "栖息" (inhabit) which don't collocate with rain.
19. Answer: 茂盛
Explanation: "植被茂盛" (lush vegetation) is a standard collocation. The context "珍稀动物的家园" (home of rare animals) implies a rich, thriving environment.
Marking: 2 marks for correct word.
Teaching note: "茂盛" describes plants/vegetation; "栖息" is a verb for animals.
20. Answer: 传递
Explanation: "传递爱心" (pass on love/kindness) is a common collocation. The context "让世界更美好" (make the world better) fits the meaning of passing something positive forward. The passage also uses this word: "传递温暖".
Marking: 2 marks for correct word.
Common mistake: Using "感激" (gratitude) which is a noun/verb but doesn't collocate with "爱心" in this structure.
