Total Marks: 40

Section A: Vocabulary in Context (语境词汇) [10 marks]

1. Answer: B) 生疏
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• The passage states: "他在书中看到了一个陌生的词语，便立刻查字典" (He saw an unfamiliar word in the book, so he immediately looked it up in the dictionary).
• The action of looking up a dictionary indicates he did not know the word.
• "生疏" means unfamiliar/strange, which fits the context.
• Distractors: A) 熟悉 (familiar) is the opposite; C) 奇怪 (strange/weird) describes something odd, not unknown; D) 困难 (difficult) describes difficulty level, not familiarity.

2. Answer: A) 仔细认真
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• The passage describes: "妈妈为了庆祝妹妹生日，特意精心准备了一顿丰盛的晚餐" (Mother specially prepared a sumptuous dinner carefully for sister's birthday).
• "特意" (specially) and "丰盛" (sumptuous) indicate effort and care.
• "精心" means carefully and attentively.
• Distractors: B) 快速简单 (quick and simple) contradicts the effort; C) 随意敷衍 (casual/perfunctory) is opposite; D) 节省金钱 (saving money) is unrelated to preparation attitude.

3. Answer: B) 打算要
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• The sentence structure: "这次社区清洁活动旨在提高居民的环保意识" (This community cleaning activity aims to raise residents' environmental awareness).
• "旨在" is a formal phrase meaning "aims to / intends to / is designed to".
• Distractors: A) 成功地 (successfully) indicates result, not purpose; C) 无意中 (unintentionally) and D) 偶然地 (accidentally) both mean by chance, opposite of purposeful intent.

4. Answer: B) 吸取
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• Context: "他没有气馁，反而汲取教训，制定了新的复习计划" (He didn't get discouraged, instead he drew lessons and made a new revision plan).
• "汲取教训" is a fixed collocation meaning "to draw/learn lessons (from experience)".
• "吸取" (absorb/take in) is the closest synonym in this context.
• Distractors: A) 忘记 (forget) is opposite; C) 拒绝 (refuse) doesn't collocate with 教训; D) 制造 (create) is illogical.

5. Answer: C) 活泼形象地
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• Context: "这部纪录片生动地展现了深海生物的奇妙世界，让观众仿佛身临其境" (The documentary vividly presented the deep-sea world, making audience feel immersed).
• "生动" means vivid, lively, graphic. "身临其境" (feeling personally present) confirms the vividness.
• Distractors: A) 真实地 (truthfully) focuses on accuracy, not presentation style; B) 枯燥地 (dully) is opposite; D) 夸张地 (exaggeratedly) implies distortion, not vivid representation.

Section B: Sentence Completion & Grammar (句子填空与语法) [10 marks]

6. Answer: 所以 / 因此 / 于是
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• The first clause states a cause (weather is good), the second clause states a result/decision (family decides to picnic).
• Causal connectors "所以" (so), "因此" (therefore), or sequential "于是" (then/consequently) are appropriate.
• Common mistake: Using "但是" (but) or "因为" (because) which show contrast or reverse causality.

7. Answer: 喜欢 / 热爱 / 爱好
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• The second clause "每次看到美丽的风景都会拿出素描本" (every time she sees beautiful scenery she takes out sketchbook) shows a habitual action driven by interest.
• Verbs expressing preference: "喜欢" (like), "热爱" (love), "爱好" (hobby/enjoy) fit grammatically and semantically.
• Note: "擅长" (good at) describes ability, not motivation; "学习" (learn) doesn't explain the spontaneous action.

8. Answer: 认真 / 仔细 / 努力
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• The structure "________想了半天也做不出来" (thought for a long time but couldn't solve it) requires an adverb modifying "想" (think).
• Adverbs of manner/degree: "认真地" (seriously), "仔细地" (carefully), "努力地" (hard) — the "地" is often omitted in casual writing.
• Common mistake: Using adjectives like "认真" without "地" is acceptable in modern usage; using "非常" (very) alone doesn't describe the manner of thinking.

9. Answer: 肯 / 愿意 / 能够 / 持续
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• "只要________努力，就一定能..." (As long as [you] ________ effort, [you] will definitely be able to...) is a conditional structure.
• The blank needs a verb/modal that pairs with "努力" (effort/diligent): "肯" (willing to), "愿意" (willing to), "能够" (able to), "持续" (persist in).
• "肯努力" and "愿意努力" are most natural for expressing willingness/attitude.

10. Answer: 归还 / 还 / 交回
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• Context: "借阅期限到了" (borrowing period is due) indicates returning a library book.
• Appropriate verbs: "归还" (return formally), "还" (return/give back), "交回" (hand back).
• "借给" (lend to) is opposite direction; "拿走" (take away) doesn't fit library context.

Section C: Reading Comprehension (阅读理解) [20 marks]

Passage A (Questions 11–15)

11. Answer: 星期六 / 周六
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• Direct retrieval from first sentence: "上个星期六，我和同学们一起去养老院做义工。"
• Marking: 2 marks for correct day; 0 for wrong day or "上个星期" without specifying day.

12. Answer: 陪聊组
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• Direct retrieval: "我被安排在陪聊组。"
• Must quote exact term from text. "聊天组" or "陪老人组" are not the text's wording.

Marks: 2
Explanation:

• Direct retrieval: "他告诉我他以前是老师，最喜欢看历史书。"
• Marking: 2 marks for "老师"; 1 mark for "教师" (synonym acceptable); 0 for other occupations.

14. Answer: 感慨 / 羡慕 / 叹息 / 觉得现在生活比过去好
Marks: 2
Explanation:

• Inference question. Chen Bo Bo says: "现在的年轻人真幸福，什么都有，我们那时候连书都看不起。"
• This shows a contrast between past hardship and present comfort, reflecting 感慨 (deep feeling/emotion), 羡慕 (envy/admiration), or 叹息 (sigh with emotion).
• Acceptable answers must capture the emotional comparison. "开心" (happy) alone is insufficient; "难过" (sad) misses the nuance.

15. Answer: 同意。理由：文中陈伯伯说"谢谢你陪我聊天，让我觉得不孤单"，说明义工让老人感受到关怀；作者也从中体会到"现在的生活来之不易"，获得心灵成长。（或类似意思）**
Marks: 2
Breakdown:

• 1 mark: Clear stance (同意/不同意)
• 1 mark: Evidence from text + personal reasoning
  Explanation:
• This is an open-ended evaluation question requiring text evidence and personal response.
• Key evidence points:
  (1) Chen Bo Bo's gratitude ("不孤单") → helping others
  (2) Author's realization ("生活来之不易", "心灵的成长") → self-growth
  (3) Classmates' feedback ("很有收获", "下次还想再来") → mutual benefit
• Common mistake: Only giving opinion without text evidence, or only retelling story without evaluation.

Passage B (Questions 16–20)

16. Answer: 写信
