Secondary 2 Chinese Practice Paper 4

TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper — Answer Key

Chinese Secondary 2 — Comprehension (Practice Paper)

Section A: Cloze Passage (综合填空) — 10 marks

(1) B. 关注 [1 mark]
Explanation: "关注" means "to pay attention to / to follow with interest," which fits the context of environmental issues receiving increasing public attention. "注视" means "to gaze at" (visual), "注意" means "to notice/ pay attention" (more general), and "关心" means "to care about" (more emotional). "关注" is the most appropriate collocation with "议题" (topic/issue).

(2) A. 公共 [1 mark]
Explanation: "公共交通工具" (public transport) is a fixed compound noun in Chinese. "共用" means "shared use," "共同" means "common/joint," and "公用" means "public use" but is not the standard collocation with "交通工具."

(3) C. 减少 [1 mark]
Explanation: "减少" means "to reduce/ decrease" and is used with quantities or amounts such as "碳排放量" (carbon emissions). "减低" means "to lower" (often used with levels/rates), "减轻" means "to lighten/alleviate" (used with burdens or pain), and "减弱" means "to weaken" (used with strength or intensity).

(4) A. 习惯 [1 mark]
Explanation: "好习惯" (good habit) is a fixed expression. "风俗" refers to social customs, "习俗" refers to traditions/customs, and "惯例" refers to convention/practice. Only "习惯" fits the context of personal daily behaviour.

(5) A. 渺小 [1 mark]
Explanation: "渺小" means "tiny/insignificant" and is used to describe a person's perceived power or importance in a grand context. "微小" means "very small" (physical size/amount), "薄弱" means "weak" (strength/foundation), and "脆弱" means "fragile" (easily broken).

(6) A. 影响 [1 mark]
Explanation: "产生影响" (to produce an impact/influence) is a natural collocation. "效果" means "effect/result" (usually of a specific action), "作用" means "function/effect," and "力量" means "strength/power." "影响" best conveys the idea of collective impact.

(7) A. 树木 [1 mark]
Explanation: "拯救树木" (save trees) is the correct expression in the context of environmental conservation and paper recycling. "树干" (trunk), "树枝" (branch), and "树根" (root) are parts of a tree and do not fit the context of saving whole trees through recycling.

(8) A. 小事 [1 mark]
Explanation: "从小事做起" (start from small things) is a common expression meaning to begin with simple, everyday actions. "琐事" means "trivial matters" (with a slightly negative connotation), "细节" means "details," and "部分" means "part/section."

(9) A. 齐心 [1 mark]
Explanation: "齐心合作" (cooperate with one heart/ united cooperation) is a set phrase emphasizing unity of purpose. "共同合作" is grammatically correct but redundant (both words mean "together"). "一起合作" is colloquial, and "合力合作" is also redundant. "齐心合作" is the most idiomatic choice.

(10) B. 美好 [1 mark]
Explanation: "美好" means "beautiful/good" and is used to describe an ideal or desirable state of affairs, such as "美好的环境" (a beautiful/good environment). "美丽" and "优美" are more often used for visual beauty, while "漂亮" is informal and typically describes appearance.

Section B: Passage Comprehension (阅读理解) — 20 marks

11. 根据短文内容，外婆每天清晨都会做什么？ [2 marks]

Answer: 外婆每天清晨都会到巴刹（菜市场）挑选最新鲜的食材。 [2 marks]

• 1 mark for mentioning "到巴刹/菜市场" (go to the market).
• 1 mark for mentioning "挑选最新鲜的食材" (select the freshest ingredients).

Teaching Note: This is a direct retrieval question. The answer is found in the second paragraph: "每天清晨，她都会到巴刹（菜市场）挑选最新鲜的食材。" Students should copy or paraphrase accurately from the text.

12. 外婆认为做菜和做人有什么相似之处？请引用文中的句子回答。 [2 marks]

Answer: 外婆说："做菜和做人一样，要用心。" [2 marks]

• 2 marks for quoting the sentence correctly and completely.
• 1 mark if the quote is partially correct (e.g., missing "一样" or "要用心").
• 0 marks if the student paraphrases instead of quoting directly.

Teaching Note: The question explicitly asks the student to "引用文中的句子" (quote from the text). Students must use quotation marks and reproduce the sentence exactly as it appears in the passage.

13. 请按照顺序，简述外婆做红烧肉的步骤。（至少写出四个步骤） [4 marks]

Answer: （每步1分，共4分）

1. 将五花肉切成大小均匀的方块，用沸水焯过，去除腥味。
2. 在锅中放入少许油，加入冰糖炒至融化。
3. 将肉块放入锅中翻炒，直到每一块肉都裹上焦糖色。
4. 加入酱油、料酒和八角，用小火慢慢焖煮一个小时。

Marking Scheme:

• 1 mark for each correct step, up to 4 marks.
• Steps must be in the correct sequence.
• Students may paraphrase but must capture the key action in each step.

Teaching Note: This is a sequencing/ process question. Students should identify the procedural language in the third paragraph (e.g., "先," "然后," "接着") to determine the correct order.

14. 文中提到外婆年轻时的生活是怎样的？这对她现在的做菜态度有什么影响？ [3 marks]

Answer:
外婆年轻时物资匮乏，能吃上一顿红烧肉是一件非常奢侈的事。 [1 mark]
因此，她格外珍惜每一份食材，从不浪费。 [1 mark]
这种经历使她养成了珍惜食材、认真做菜的态度。 [1 mark]

Marking Scheme:

• 1 mark for describing her past life (物资匮乏/生活艰苦).
• 1 mark for stating the effect on her attitude (珍惜食材/不浪费).
• 1 mark for making the connection between past experience and present attitude.

Teaching Note: This is an inference question. Students need to connect information from the fourth paragraph (外婆年轻时的故事) to her current behaviour and values. The key concept is understanding how past experiences shape present attitudes.

15. 作者为什么最想念外婆的红烧肉？ [2 marks]

Answer: 因为外婆的红烧肉不仅仅是一道菜，更包含了外婆对家人满满的爱。 [1 mark] 每次吃到这道菜，作者都感到无比幸福和温暖。 [1 mark]

Marking Scheme:

• 1 mark for identifying the emotional significance (外婆的爱/亲情).
• 1 mark for mentioning the author's feelings (幸福/温暖/怀念).

Teaching Note: This question tests understanding of the deeper meaning behind the text. Students should look beyond the literal (the taste of the dish) to the figurative (the love and care it represents).

16. 外婆说红烧肉的"秘诀"是什么？你同意她的说法吗？请说明理由。 [3 marks]

Answer:
外婆说红烧肉的秘诀是"用心和爱"。 [1 mark]
（学生可以自由回答是否同意，以下为参考）
我同意外婆的说法。因为做菜时如果带着爱心和诚意，就会更加用心地挑选食材、控制火候，做出来的菜自然会更好吃。 [1 mark] 而且，家人能感受到这份心意，吃起来也会觉得特别温暖和幸福。 [1 mark]

Marking Scheme:

• 1 mark for stating the "秘诀" (用心和爱).
• 1 mark for giving a clear opinion (agree or disagree).
• 1 mark for providing a reasonable explanation.

Teaching Note: This is an evaluative/ personal response question. There is no single correct opinion, but students must support their view with logical reasoning. Answers that merely state "I agree" without explanation should receive only 2 marks.

17. 请从文中找出一个使用修辞手法的句子，并说明它属于哪种修辞手法。 [2 marks]

Answer:
句子："那不仅仅是一道菜，更是外婆对家人满满的爱。" [1 mark]
修辞手法：比喻 / 暗喻（隐喻） [1 mark]

Alternative acceptable answers:

• 句子："那是酱油、蒜头和姜片在热油中爆香的味道，也是我最怀念的家的味道。" — 比喻（将菜香比作"家的味道"）
• 句子："整个厨房弥漫着浓郁的香气，让人忍不住想偷吃一块。" — 夸张

Marking Scheme:

• 1 mark for a correct sentence from the passage.
• 1 mark for correctly identifying the rhetorical device.

Teaching Note: This question tests knowledge of literary devices. The most prominent rhetorical device in the passage is metaphor (比喻), where the dish is compared to love. Students may also identify other devices if they can justify their answer.

18. 如果你是作者，你会如何向外婆表达你对她的感激之情？请写一段话（约30-50字）。 [2 marks]

Answer (参考):
外婆，谢谢您每天用心为我们做菜。您的红烧肉是世界上最好吃的，因为里面包含了您对我们的爱。我一定会好好珍惜和您在一起的时光。我爱您！

Marking Scheme:

• 1 mark for expressing gratitude clearly and sincerely.
• 1 mark for appropriate language, tone, and length (30-50 characters).
• Deduct 1 mark if the response is too short (under 20 characters) or off-topic.

Teaching Note: This is a creative/ personal response question. Students should write from the first-person perspective and address the grandmother directly. The tone should be warm and sincere.
