Section B: Cloze Passage (10 marks)

Questions 11-15: Cloze (2 marks each)

  1. Answer: 2 (惊叹)
    Explanation: The students watched the paper transform into a beautiful flower. This evokes awe or wonder. “愤怒” (anger), “无聊” (boredom), and “恐惧” (fear) do not fit the positive context of artistic creation.

  2. Answer: 3 (一丝不苟)
    Explanation: Master Li emphasized precision and not rushing. “一丝不苟” (meticulous) fits this description. “粗心” (careless), “急躁” (impatient), and “鲁莽” (reckless) are opposites of the required attitude.

  3. Answer: 1 (气馁)
    Explanation: The teacher encourages them not to give up due to mistakes. “气馁” (discouraged) is the correct emotion to avoid. “鼓舞” (encouraged), “启发” (inspired), and “激励” (motivated) are positive states that one should feel, not avoid.

  4. Answer: 2 (自豪)
    Explanation: After creating unique art, students feel accomplishment. “自豪” (pride) pairs with accomplishment. “绝望” (despair), “羞愧” (shame), and “后悔” (regret) are negative emotions inconsistent with success.

  5. Answer: 3 (传统)
    Explanation: The passage is about traditional crafts connecting us to our past/culture. “传统” (heritage/tradition) is the correct link. “未来” (future), “科技” (technology), and “梦想” (dreams) are less relevant to the specific theme of ancestral wisdom.


Section C: Reading Comprehension (30 marks)

Passage 1: The Old Bookstore

  1. Why was the young man anxiously looking for the novel? (2 marks)

  3. What does the sentence "Good books are like old friends..." mean? (3 marks)
    Answer: It means that valuable things (like good books or true friendships) are not meant to be acquired instantly. The process of searching for them adds to their value, and the effort involved makes us cherish them more. It emphasizes the importance of patience and appreciation.

General Marking Notes for Teachers:

  • Language Accuracy: For open-ended questions, accept answers that convey the correct meaning even if there are minor grammatical errors, provided the key concepts are present.
  • Depth of Answer: For 3-4 mark questions, students must provide more than a one-sentence answer. They should explain the "why" or "how".
  • Common Mistakes:
    • In Q18, students may just say "books are good." Look for the metaphorical connection to "effort" and "cherishing."
    • In Q25, students may just say "teamwork is good." Look for specific references to "listening" and "combining ideas."
