Primary 6 PSLE Higher Chinese Quiz - Vocabulary (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40

Section A: Multiple Choice Questions (10 marks)

1. A. 红润

  • Reasoning: "红润" (ruddy/healthy complexion) is the positive outcome of recovery. "苍白" (pale), "憔悴" (haggard), and "枯黄" (withered/yellow) describe poor health.
  • Context: The sentence mentions "condition improved" (病情好转), so the complexion should look healthy.

2. B. 轻而易举

  • Reasoning: "轻而易举" (easy to do) fits the context of something not being easy. "易如反掌" is also similar but often used for absolute ease; "轻而易举" is more common in negative constructions like "并非...之事". "唾手可得" refers to obtaining something, not doing a task. "信手拈来" refers to writing or speaking effortlessly.
  • Key Point: The phrase "并非...之事" usually pairs with idioms describing ease of action.

3. A. 镇定自若

  • Reasoning: "镇定自若" (calm and composed) contrasts with "panic" (惊慌失措). "漫不经心" (careless) is inappropriate for an emergency. "优柔寡断" (indecisive) and "犹豫不决" (hesitant) are negative traits in an emergency.

4. D. 妙语连珠

  • Reasoning: "妙语连珠" (witty remarks one after another) fits a professor who is loved by students for his engaging lectures. "滔滔不绝" and "口若悬河" can sometimes have a negative connotation of talking too much without substance. "绘声绘色" is usually for storytelling. "妙语连珠" highlights intelligence and humor.

5. A. 不谋而合

  • Reasoning: "不谋而合" (agree without prior consultation) fits the context of having the same attitude without planning it. "异曲同工" refers to different methods achieving the same result. "殊途同归" is similar but focuses on the end result. "如出一辙" implies exact similarity, often used for negative things or patterns, but "不谋而合" is better for opinions/attitudes.

6. C. 神不知鬼不觉

  • Reasoning: "神不知鬼不觉" (unknown to gods and ghosts) describes doing something secretly. "天衣无缝" and "无懈可击" describe perfection in logic or craft. "滴水不漏" describes tight security or speech. The thief thought his action was secret.

7. A. 肃然起敬

  • Reasoning: "肃然起敬" (filled with deep respect) is the standard reaction to witnessing determination or noble acts. "五体投地" is extreme admiration (often religious or hyperbolic). "心悦诚服" means convinced and happy to submit. "赞不绝口" is verbal praise. "肃然起敬" captures the emotional depth of "moved" (感动).

8. C. 行云流水

  • Reasoning: "行云流水" (floating clouds and flowing water) describes natural, smooth writing or performance. "朗朗上口" is for easy recitation. "抑扬顿挫" is for tone/rhythm. "铿锵有力" is for powerful speech. "行云流水" fits "structure is rigorous... logical" leading to a smooth reading experience.

9. A. 雷厉风行

  • Reasoning: "雷厉风行" (swift and decisive) describes strict and fast execution. "大刀阔斧" is for bold reforms. "快马加鞭" is to speed up. "风驰电掣" is for physical speed (vehicles). "雷厉风行" is the standard idiom for work style.

10. A. 畏缩不前

  • Reasoning: "畏缩不前" (shrink back in fear) is the direct opposite of "bravely face" (勇敢面对). "裹足不前" is stopping due to hesitation. "停滞不前" is stagnation. "举步维艰" is difficulty in moving. "畏缩" captures the fear element implied by "difficulty".
