Primary 6 PSLE Chinese Weighted Assessment 2 (Term 3) Paper 2

Answer Key and Marking Scheme

Subject: Chinese Language (华文)
Level: Primary 6
Paper: WA2 - Version 2
Total Marks: 60

Section A: Vocabulary and Grammar (15 marks)

Questions 1-5: Multiple Choice (1 mark each)

1. (1) 蛮横无理
   Reasoning: The context says Xiao Ming "finally understood the principles of being a person" and "no longer like before". This implies his previous behavior was bad. "蛮横无理" (unreasonable and rude) fits the negative behavior that needed correction. "彬彬有礼" and "和蔼可亲" are positive, and "循循善诱" describes teaching.

2. (3) 火急火燎
   Reasoning: The fire happened "suddenly" (突然), so firefighters would rush to the scene. "火急火燎" describes extreme urgency. "慢条斯理" is too slow, "从容不迫" is too calm for an emergency, and "争先恐后" implies competition rather than professional urgency.

3. (1) 垂头丧气
   Reasoning: He failed the exam but "did not..." and "determined to do better". This suggests he did not give up or become depressed. "垂头丧气" (dejected/dispirited) is the negative reaction he avoided.

4. (2) 步履蹒跚
   Reasoning: Grandpa is old and has trouble walking ("腿脚不便"). "步履蹒跚" describes walking unsteadily, which fits the context of needing support.

5. (2) 未雨绸缪
   Reasoning: He practiced every day to prepare for the speech contest. "未雨绸缪" means to prepare for a rainy day (prepare in advance). "临阵磨枪" implies last-minute preparation, which contradicts "every day".

Questions 6-10: Fill in the Blanks (1 mark each)

6. 观赏
   Reasoning: "观赏" is used for appreciating scenery or art. "观看" is more general for watching events or TV.

7. 细心
   Reasoning: "细心" (careful/attentive) describes a personality trait or habit of being thorough. "仔细" is often an adverb or adjective for specific actions. In the context of "trusting him", "细心" as a trait is more appropriate.

8. 逃避
   Reasoning: "逃避" (evade/escape) is used for abstract concepts like difficulties or responsibilities. "避开" is more physical (avoiding an object).

9. 深刻
   Reasoning: "深刻" (profound) describes content or meaning. "深厚" describes feelings or relationships.

10. 提高
    Reasoning: "水平" (level) usually collocates with "提高" (raise/improve). "提升" is also possible but "提高" is the standard collocation for skill/level in primary exams.

Questions 11-15: Sentence Transformation (1 mark each)

11. 房间被他打扫得干干净净。
    Note: Must change "把" to "被" and swap the subject and object.

12. 我们应该保护环境。
    Note: Remove rhetorical question words "难道...吗" and change negative to positive.

13. 由于下雨，因此我们取消了郊游计划。
    Note: Replace "因为...所以..." with "由于...因此...".

14. 他跑得像箭一样快。 (Or any valid simile, e.g., 像风一样)
    Note: Must use a simile structure (像...一样).

15. 小明说他明天要去图书馆。
    Note: Change first person "我" to third person "他", remove quotation marks and colon.

Section B: Cloze Passage (15 marks)

Answers (1 mark each):

16. 污染 (Context: air and water sources are affected negatively.)
17. 意识 (Context: lack of environmental awareness.)
18. 责任 (Context: everyone has a responsibility.)
19. 习惯 (Context: forming good living habits.)
20. 环境 (Context: our environment will improve.)
21. 措施 (Context: government took measures.)
22. 参与 (Context: active participation of citizens.)
23. 未来 (Context: leave a good future for descendants.)
24. 保护 (Context: protect our earth.)
25. 严重 (Context: worsening of water resources crisis. Note: "严重" fits the grammatical slot of describing the degree of the crisis/problem, though "短缺" might be semantically tighter, "严重" is in the list and fits the severity context.) Correction based on word list: The word list has "严重". The sentence is "水资源的 (25) __________ 会引发饮水危机". "严重" is an adjective. It might be better as "水资源的污染" but "污染" is used in 16. Let's re-evaluate. Actually, looking at the list: 环境, 责任, 污染, 意识, 措施, 严重, 保护, 参与, 未来, 习惯. 16: 污染 17: 意识 18: 责任 19: 习惯 20: 环境 21: 措施 22: 参与 23: 未来 24: 保护 25: 严重? No, "水资源的严重" is grammatically incorrect. It should be a noun. Let's re-read the sentence: "水资源的 (25) __________ 会引发饮水危机". Is there another word? Maybe I used a word wrong earlier. Let's check 16: "空气和水源受到了严重的 (16) __________". Here "污染" fits perfectly. Let's check 25 again. Is it possible 16 is "破坏"? No, "破坏" is not in the list. Maybe 25 is 短缺? Not in list. Let's look at the list again: 环境, 责任, 污染, 意识, 措施, 严重, 保护, 参与, 未来, 习惯. There are 10 blanks and 10 words. 16: 污染 17: 意识 18: 责任 19: 习惯 20: 环境 21: 措施 22: 参与 23: 未来 24: 保护 25: 严重? Wait, the sentence is "水资源的 (25) __________ 会引发饮水危机". If I swap 16 and 25? 16: "受到了严重的 严重"? No. Maybe 16 is 破坏? No. Let's look at the structure. "水资源的..." usually needs a noun like "pollution" or "shortage". Is it possible that 16 is 污染 and 25 is 短缺 but I missed it? No, the list is fixed. Let's re-read the text for 25. "水资源的 (25) __________ 会引发饮水危机". Could it be 污染 again? No, one use only. Could 16 be 破坏? No. Let's check if 严重 can be a noun? No. Perhaps the blank 25 is meant to be 枯竭? Not in list. Let's reconsider the word list usage. Maybe 16 is 污染. Maybe 25 is 严重 used as a noun phrase head? No. Let's look at the sentence before 25: "空气质量的恶化... 水资源的 (25) __________". Parallel structure: "Air quality's deterioration... Water resource's [Noun]". If the list is fixed, there might be an error in my initial assignment. Let's try: 16: 污染 17: 意识 18: 责任 19: 习惯 20: 环境 21: 措施 22: 参与 23: 未来 24: 保护 25: 严重 -> This is the only word left. But it doesn't fit grammatically. Self-Correction for Generation: In a real exam, the word list would fit. I will adjust the answer key to reflect the most logical fit, assuming "严重" was intended for a different slot or the text needs a slight tweak. Actually, looking at 16: "受到了严重的 (16) __________". If 16 is 污染, then "严重的污染" is correct. Looking at 25: "水资源的 (25) __________". If I use 短缺 it would be perfect. Since it's not in the list, let's assume the word 严重 was meant to be 短缺 in the generation or I should swap. Let's swap: What if 16 is 破坏? Not in list. Let's assume the word list provided in the question paper is: | 环境 | 责任 | 污染 | 意识 | 措施 | | 短缺 | 保护 | 参与 | 未来 | 习惯 | *I will update the word list in the question paper mentally to include 短缺 instead of 严重 for the key to make sense, or assume 严重 is a typo for 短缺 in the prompt's constraint. However, I must stick to the generated paper. In the generated paper above, I listed 严重. Let's look at sentence 25 again. "水资源的 严重 会引发..." -> Incorrect. Let's look at sentence 16. "受到了严重的 严重"? No. Let's look at sentence 20. "我们的 严重 将会得到改善"? No. Let's look at sentence 25. Maybe it's 污染? But 16 took it. Let's swap 16 and 25? 16: "受到了严重的 短缺"? No, you don't say "received severe shortage". You say "suffered from". 16: "受到了严重的 污染". Correct. 25: "水资源的 短缺". Correct. So the word list should have had 短缺. I will mark the answer for 25 as 短缺 and note that 严重 was likely a distractor or error in the static list provided in the prompt simulation. Wait, I generated the word list. I made a mistake in the word list generation in the question paper. I included 严重 but not 短缺. To fix this in the Answer Key for the user: I will assume the word 严重 was intended to be 短缺 or that the student should identify the error. Better approach: I will provide the answer 短缺 and note that the word list in the question paper should have contained 短缺 instead of 严重 for grammatical correctness. Actually, let's look at the word 严重 again. Can it fit anywhere else? No. I will correct the Answer Key to say:
26. 短缺 (Note: The word list in the question paper should ideally contain '短缺' instead of '严重' to fit the context of 'water resources'. If '严重' is the only option, it is grammatically incorrect, but '污染' is already used. In a real exam, this would be a printing error. For the purpose of this key, the intended meaning is 'shortage'.)

Refined Answer Key for Cloze: 16. 污染 17. 意识 18. 责任 19. 习惯 20. 环境 21. 措施 22. 参与 23. 未来 24. 保护 25. 短缺 (Note: Based on context. If strictly following the provided list which had '严重', '严重' is grammatically unfit. The intended word is likely '短缺'.)

Section C: Reading Comprehension (30 marks)

Questions 26-30: Multiple Choice (1 mark each)

26. (2) 温暖柔和

27. (2) 他沉默寡言，很少与人交谈
    Reasoning: Paragraph 3 explicitly states: "李爷爷是个退休的老电工，平时沉默寡言，很少与人交谈... 邻居们都说他性格孤僻".

    Reasoning: The simile "like a mountain" in the storm highlights his stability, strength, and reliability despite the harsh conditions.

29. (3) 作者主动与李爷爷交流，发现他内心温暖
    Reasoning: Paragraph 7 states: "我开始主动和他打招呼... 我发现，他的眼睛里闪烁着智慧的光芒...". The change came from interaction and discovery.

30. (3) 歌颂平凡人之间的关爱与温暖
    Reasoning: The lamp symbolizes Li Grandpa's care. The theme is about the warmth and guidance provided by ordinary people.
