Section C: Reading Comprehension 2 (阅读理解二) [35 marks]

Instructions: Read the passage below carefully. Then answer questions 21 to 30 in complete sentences.

Passage: The Weight of Silence

In the bustling city of Singapore, noise is a constant companion. From the rumble of MRT trains to the chatter of hawker centres, silence is a rare commodity. Yet, for fifteen-year-old Jian Hao, silence was not just an absence of sound; it was a burden he carried every day.

Jian Hao was a quiet boy, often mistaken for being shy or aloof. In reality, he was an observer. While his classmates rushed to speak, filling every pause with laughter or gossip, Jian Hao preferred to listen. He noticed the subtle changes in his teacher’s tone when she was stressed, the slight hesitation in his best friend’s voice when he was hiding a worry, and the weary sighs of his father after a long day at work.

One evening, Jian Hao’s father sat at the dining table, staring blankly at his plate. The usual clatter of cutlery was absent. Jian Hao wanted to ask, “What’s wrong?” but the words stuck in his throat. He feared that speaking might break the fragile peace, or worse, invite a conversation he wasn’t ready to handle. So, he remained silent, eating his rice mechanically.

Days turned into weeks. The silence at home grew heavier. Jian Hao felt a growing distance between him and his father. He realized that his silence, intended to be respectful, was actually building a wall. He remembered his grandfather’s words: “Silence is golden, but communication is the bridge.”

Determined to break the barrier, Jian Hao decided to take a small step. He wrote a short note and slipped it onto his father’s desk: “Dad, I’m here if you want to talk. Or we can just sit together.”

That night, his father knocked on his door. They didn’t speak much initially, but they sat together on the balcony, watching the city lights. Eventually, his father shared his worries about job security. Jian Hao listened, not with the intent to fix everything, but simply to be present. For the first time, the silence felt comfortable, not heavy. It was a shared silence, filled with understanding.

Jian Hao learned that silence itself is not the enemy. It is the lack of connection during silence that creates distance. By reaching out, even in a small way, he had transformed the weight of silence into a bond of trust. He realized that while words are powerful, the willingness to bridge the gap is what truly matters.

21. Why was Jian Hao often mistaken for being shy or aloof? [2 marks]

22. What three things did Jian Hao notice about the people around him? [3 marks]

23. Why did Jian Hao remain silent when his father was staring at his plate? [2 marks]

24. What effect did Jian Hao’s silence have on his relationship with his father? [2 marks]

25. Explain the meaning of the phrase “Silence is golden, but communication is the bridge” in the context of the story. [3 marks]

26. How did Jian Hao decide to break the barrier with his father? [2 marks]

27. Describe the atmosphere when Jian Hao and his father sat on the balcony. [2 marks]

28. What did Jian Hao’s father share with him eventually? [2 marks]

29. According to Jian Hao, what is the real enemy in a relationship? [2 marks]

30. Do you agree that “the willingness to bridge the gap is what truly matters”? Give reasons for your answer, referring to the passage and your own experience. [4 marks]

TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper - Chinese Secondary 3 (Answer Key)

Version: 2 of 5
Subject: Chinese (华文)
Level: Secondary 3

Section A: Language Use (语文应用) [15 marks]

Part 1: Cloze Passage (综合填空) [5 marks]

(1 mark for each correct answer)

  1. A (遥远) - Context: Distance between people increases.
  2. B (下降) - Context: Sleep quality worsens.
  3. B (专注) - Context: Difficult to focus on work.
  4. C (效率) - Context: Improve meeting efficiency.
  5. A (享受) - Context: Enjoy the benefits of technology.

Part 2: Word Replacement (词语替换) [10 marks]

(2 marks for each correct replacement. Accept reasonable synonyms that fit the context and register.)

  1. 拘束 → 拘谨 / 害羞 / 陌生
    (Reason: "拘束" is acceptable but "拘谨" or "害羞" better describes the initial hesitation of elderly people in a new social setting. "陌生" is also acceptable if implying they didn't know the students.)
  2. 严肃 → 热烈 / 活跃 / 轻松
    (Reason: "严肃" means serious/solemn. The context says students were enthusiastic, so the atmosphere became lively/warm.)
  3. 粗鲁 → 细心 / 轻柔 / 熟练
    (Reason: "粗鲁" means rude/rough. Helping elderly people requires care/gentleness.)
  4. 批评 → 感激 / 称赞 / 感谢
    (Reason: "批评" means criticize. The grandmother was happy, so she expressed gratitude/praise.)
  5. 骄傲 → 欣慰 / 自豪 / 高兴
    (Reason: "骄傲" can mean proud/arrogant. "欣慰" (gratified/relieved) or "自豪" (proud in a positive sense) fits the feeling of worthiness better. "高兴" is also acceptable.)

Section B: Reading Comprehension 1 (阅读理解一) [20 marks]

(2 marks for each correct answer)

  1. B (To teach practical sustainable living skills.)
  2. C (Urban gardening and composting.)
  3. D (27.Studentfeeis27. Student fee is 30. Early bird discount is 10% off if registered before 1st July. 5th July is after 1st July, so no discount? Wait. Text says "Early bird discount... for registrations before 1st July." 5th July is AFTER 1st July. So no discount. Price is 30.∗∗Correction:∗∗Let′sre−readcarefully."Register...by10thJuly.""Earlybird...before1stJuly."Questionasksforregistrationon5thJuly.ThisisNOTbefore1stJuly.Sostandardstudentpriceapplies.Answeris∗∗C∗∗.∗Self−CorrectioninAnswerKey∗:Thequestionasksfor5thJuly.5thJulyisafter1stJuly.Sonoearlybird.Priceis30. **Correction:** Let's re-read carefully. "Register... by 10th July." "Early bird... before 1st July." Question asks for registration on 5th July. This is NOT before 1st July. So standard student price applies. Answer is **C**. *Self-Correction in Answer Key*: The question asks for 5th July. 5th July is after 1st July. So no early bird. Price is 30. Answer: C.) Note: If the question said 25th June, it would be D. Since it says 5th July, it is C.
  4. B (40)
  5. C (The workshop lasts for two full days.)
  6. D (1st September. Notice says "welcoming you back... in September" and renovation ends 15th August. Usually implies reopening shortly after. Given options, 1st September is the most logical start of the new term/month. Alternative interpretation: If renovation ends 15th Aug, it could reopen 16th Aug. But notice says "in September". Let's stick to D as per the text "in September".)
  7. B ($1 per day)
  8. C (25th July)
  9. B (To renovate the facilities.)
  10. C (Renting e-books online.)
