Text 2: News Excerpt on Urban Farming

城市农业：不仅仅是种菜

近年来，城市农业在新加坡等地兴起。这不仅是为了增加本地粮食产量，更是为了构建可持续的城市生态系统。专家指出，社区花园具有多重效益：

首先，它有助于缓解“热岛效应”。植物通过蒸腾作用降低周围温度，改善微气候。其次，社区花园是社交的桥梁。不同背景的居民通过共同劳作，打破隔阂，增进邻里关系。最后，它提供了宝贵的教育机会。孩子们通过亲手种植，了解食物来源，培养珍惜粮食的意识。

然而，城市农业也面临挑战，如土地空间有限、维护成本高以及部分居民参与热情难以持久等。政府需通过政策支持和社区动员，确保这些绿色空间的长期活力。

Q11. 根据广告，“绿生活”社区花园计划的主要目的是什么？ [2 marks]

Q12. 李太太想带她5岁的儿子参加种植工作坊，但她每周只有周日有空。她可以参加该计划吗？为什么？ [2 marks]

Q13. 广告中提到“名额有限，先到先得”，这暗示了什么？ [1 mark] ( ) 1. 活动费用很高。 ( ) 2. 活动非常受欢迎。 ( ) 3. 组织者缺乏资源。 ( ) 4. 报名程序很复杂。

Q14. 根据新闻 excerpt，城市农业对“热岛效应”有什么影响？ [2 marks]

Q15. 新闻中提到社区花园是“社交的桥梁”，请解释这句话的含义。 [2 marks]

Q16. 以下哪项不是新闻中提到的城市农业的挑战？ [1 mark] ( ) 1. 土地空间有限。 ( ) 2. 维护成本高。 ( ) 3. 居民缺乏种植知识。 ( ) 4. 参与热情难以持久。

Q17. 结合广告和新闻，说明为什么政府和非政府组织要合作推广此类计划？（请列出两点） [4 marks]

Q18. 如果让你向朋友推荐这个计划，你会强调哪两个好处？ [2 marks]

TuitionGoWhere Practice Paper - Higher Chinese Secondary 4

Answer Key & Marking Scheme (Version 1)

Section A: Language Use (15 marks)

A. Cloze Passage

Q1. (1) 1. 无所不在 [2 marks]

  • Reasoning: "无所不在" means omnipresent/everywhere, fitting the context of AI penetrating all corners of life. "无独有偶" means not unique (often used for negative coincidences), "无精打采" means listless, "无动于衷" means indifferent.

Q2. (2) 1. 退化 [2 marks]

  • Reasoning: "退化" means degeneration/decline, fitting the concern about human thinking abilities declining due to over-reliance. "进化" is evolution (positive), "优化" is optimization, "美化" is beautification.

Q3. (3) 2. 理性 [2 marks]

  • Reasoning: "理性" means rational. The context suggests using technology wisely/beneficially, not blindly. "盲目" is blind, "感性" is emotional, "任性" is willful.

Q4. (4) 2. 立足脚跟 [2 marks]

  • Reasoning: "立足脚跟" means to gain a foothold/stand firm. The context is about not being eliminated by the times. "随波逐流" is drifting with the tide (negative), "独善其身" is attending to one's own virtue, "明哲保身" is playing it safe.

Q5. (5) 3. 相辅相成 [2 marks]

  • Reasoning: "相辅相成" means complementing each other. The text mentions "human-machine collaboration". "分道扬镳" is parting ways, "势不两立" is irreconcilable, "格格不入" is incompatible.

B. Word Replacement

Q6. (6) 严峻 [1 mark]

  • Reasoning: "严峻" (severe/grim) is more formal and appropriate for describing serious problems/challenges than "严重".

Q7. (7) 探讨 [1 mark]

  • Reasoning: While "研究" is okay, "探讨" (explore/discuss) or keeping "研究" might be tricky. However, looking at the box: "探讨" fits "scientists discuss/point out". Actually, "研究" is often replaced by 探讨 in this context of discussing findings, or perhaps the original word "研究" was considered too generic. Let's look at the options. The underlined word is "研究". The box has "探讨". Scientists discuss/explore and point out. Or perhaps the underlined word was "指出" and we replace with "探讨"? No, the underlined word is "研究". Wait, the prompt says replace the underlined word.
    • Original: 科学家们 研究 指出...
    • Box: 严峻, 探讨, 显著, 倡导, 匮乏.
    • "研究" is a verb. "探讨" is a verb. "科学家们 探讨 指出" is slightly awkward. Usually, it's "研究表明". Let's re-read the prompt's underlined words.
    • (6) <u>严重</u> -> 严峻 (Adjective)
    • (7) <u>研究</u> -> 探讨? Or is there a better fit? Maybe the underlined word was meant to be replaced by a word that means "analysis/study". But "探讨" is the only verb left that fits intellectual work. Correction: In many exam contexts, "研究" might be replaced by 分析 (not in box). Let's look at (8).
    • (8) <u>提倡</u> -> 倡导 (Verb, advocate). "倡导" is more formal for government/official campaigns.
    • (9) <u>缺少</u> -> 匮乏 (Adjective/Verb, scarce/lacking). "匮乏" is more formal for resources.
    • (10) <u>明显</u> -> 显著 (Adjective, significant/markable). "显著" is more formal for results/effects.
    • So, by elimination, (7) must be 探讨. Although "探讨指出" is slightly redundant, "探讨" is the only remaining word. Self-Correction: Perhaps the original text had "科学家们 讨论 指出" and we replace with "探讨"? The prompt says underlined word is "研究". Let's assume the question intends for 探讨 to replace a word like "讨论" or just "研究" in a broader sense of "deliberation". Given the box, 探讨 is the only option for Q7.

Q8. (8) 倡导 [1 mark] Q9. (9) 匮乏 [1 mark] Q10. (10) 显著 [1 mark]

Section B: Reading Comprehension 1 (20 marks)

Q11. [2 marks]

  • Answer: 主要目的是提升社区凝聚力 (1 mark) 和推广环保理念 (1 mark)。
  • Marking: 1 mark for "community cohesion", 1 mark for "environmental awareness".

Q12. [2 marks]

  • Answer: 不可以 (1 mark)。因为种植工作坊只在每周末上午9点至11点举行（通常指周六和周日，但需确认具体日子，广告说"每周末"，通常包含周六日，但李太太只有周日有空。如果"每周末"意味着周六和周日都有，她可以参加。但广告说"每周末上午...由资深园艺师指导"，通常暗示一个固定的时间段。如果假设是周六，则不行。如果假设是周六和周日，则可以。
    • Refined Answer: 广告写“每周末”，通常指周六和周日。如果李太太只有周日有空，她可以参加，只要周日有工作坊。
    • Alternative Interpretation: Many exams treat "Weekend" as a block. If the question implies a conflict, it might be that the workshop is only on Saturdays. However, "每周末" usually means both days or alternating. Let's look at the "Trap". The trap is usually specific days. The ad says "每周末上午9点至11点". It doesn't specify Saturday OR Sunday. It implies the slot is available on weekends.
    • Let's look at the constraint: "需承诺每月至少参与两次活动".
    • Let's re-read carefully: "每周末上午9点至11点". This implies the event happens on weekends. If she is free on Sundays, she can attend.
    • Wait, is there a trap? "李太太...只有周日有空". If the workshop is on Saturdays, she can't. If it's on Sundays, she can. The ad says "每周末" (Every weekend). In Singapore context, this often means Saturday AND Sunday sessions are available, or it rotates.
    • Safe Answer: 可以 (1 mark)。因为工作坊在周末举行，而周日属于周末，只要她能在周日出席并满足每月两次的要求即可 (1 mark)。
    • Note: If the intended answer is "No", the ad would specify "Saturdays only". Since it says "Weekends", "Yes" is the logical deduction unless "Weekend" implies a specific single day in the school's convention. Given the ambiguity, "Yes" with the condition that Sunday sessions exist is better. OR, if the "Trap" is that she only has Sunday, and the workshop is every weekend (implying a commitment to both?), no, that's unlikely.
    • Let's assume the standard exam logic: "Weekend" = Saturday + Sunday. She is free Sunday. She can go.
    • Answer: 可以。因为种植工作坊在周末举行，周日是周末的一部分，她可以参加周日的场次。

Q13. [1 mark]

  • Answer: (2) 活动非常受欢迎。

Q14. [2 marks]

  • Answer: 植物通过蒸腾作用 (1 mark) 降低周围温度，从而缓解热岛效应 (1 mark)。

Q15. [2 marks]

  • Answer: 意思是社区花园让不同背景的居民通过共同劳作 (1 mark)，打破隔阂，增进邻里关系/促进交流 (1 mark)。

Q16. [1 mark]

  • Answer: (3) 居民缺乏种植知识。
    • Reasoning: The text lists: limited space, high maintenance costs, and waning enthusiasm. It does not list lack of knowledge as a primary challenge (in fact, workshops are provided to teach).

Q17. [4 marks]

  • Answer: (Any 2 points, 2 marks each)
    1. 整合资源：政府提供政策和资金支持，非政府组织提供专业知识和社区网络，优势互补。
    2. 扩大影响力：合作可以覆盖更广泛的群体，提高公众参与度和意识。
    3. 确保可持续性：政府的长期支持与非政府组织的灵活运作结合，有助于项目的长期维持。

Q18. [2 marks]

  • Answer: (Any 2 points, 1 mark each)
    1. 可以学习种植有机蔬菜，获得新鲜健康的食物。
    2. 可以结识邻居，增进社区归属感/社交互动。
    3. 可以为环保做贡献，学习可持续生活方式。
    4. 适合亲子参与，具有教育意义。

Q19. [2 marks]

  • Answer: 确保参与者有持续的投入和责任感 (1 mark)，从而保证花园的长期维护和管理/避免资源浪费 (1 mark)。

Q20. [2 marks]

  • Answer: (Example) 政府可以提供土地租金补贴 (1 mark) 或提供园艺工具和种子的资助 (1 mark)。
    • Other acceptable answers: Tax incentives for companies sponsoring gardens; Including urban farming in school curricula.
