Answer Key & Marking Scheme (Version 2)

Section A: Language Use (15 marks)

A. Cloze Passage (5 marks)

  1. A. 驾驭
    • Reasoning: "驾驭" implies mastering or controlling a complex technology/situation skillfully. "驾驶" is for vehicles. "控制" is too generic/negative. "操纵" has a negative connotation of manipulation.
  2. A. 支配
    • Reasoning: "被其支配" means being dominated/controlled by AI. "分配" is distribute. "支使" is order someone around. "指挥" is command (usually military/orchestra).
  3. B. 不可或缺
    • Reasoning: "不可或缺" means indispensable. "不可磨灭" is for memories/impressions. "不可思议" is unimaginable. "不可救药" is hopeless.
  4. A. 惊慌失措
    • Reasoning: "惊慌失措" means panicked and losing composure. Fits the context of "not needing to panic". "惊弓之鸟" is a noun phrase (person who is easily frightened). "惊心动魄" describes a scene/event. "惊天动地" describes magnitude.
  5. C. 愿景
    • Reasoning: "愿景" is a vision for the future. "前景" is prospect/outlook. "远景" is distant view. "景象" is scene. "美好愿景" is a common collocation for a desired future state.

B. Word Replacement (5 marks) 1 mark for each correct pair. Accept reasonable synonyms.

  1. 宏大 -> 显著 / 巨大 / 非凡
    • Reasoning: "宏大" usually describes scale/ambition (e.g., 宏大的计划). For achievements, "显著" (significant) or "巨大" (huge) is more natural.
  2. 创造 -> 打造 / 建设
    • Reasoning: "打造" (forge/build) is commonly used with "花园城市" or brands/images. "创造" is create (abstract/new thing).
  3. 压迫 -> 挤压 / 压缩
    • Reasoning: "压迫" is oppression (political/social). For space, "挤压" (squeeze) or "压缩" (compress) is correct.
  4. 寻找 -> 找回 / 保留
    • Reasoning: "找回" (retrieve/find back) fits the context of losing something and wanting it back. "寻找" is just looking.
  5. 减轻 -> 缓解
    • Reasoning: "缓解" (alleviate/mitigate) is the standard collocation for "热岛效应" (heat island effect) or tension/pain. "减轻" is reduce (weight/burden).
