B. Word Replacement (5 marks)

  1. 珍贵 (If original was "宝贵", "珍贵" is better for artifacts. If original was "珍贵", it is correct. Note: In this key, we assume the underlined word was inappropriate, e.g., "宝贵" -> "珍贵" or "稀有" -> "珍贵". Accept "珍贵" or "稀有".)
    Marking: 1 mark for correct synonym/collocation.
  2. 引用 (If original was "借用" or "援引", "引用" is standard for data/quotes.)
    Marking: 1 mark.

  4. 周到 (If original was "周全", "周到" is better for service attitude.)
    Marking: 1 mark.
  5. 退缩 (If original was "逃避" or "退却", "退缩" fits "facing difficulty".)
    Marking: 1 mark.

(Note: For word replacement, accept any semantically appropriate word that fits the context and register.)

Section B: Reading Comprehension 1 (20 marks)

  1. (3)
    Calculation: Member gets 5% off on top of 20% off? No, "Member extra 5% off" usually means 95% of the discounted price or 95% of original? The text says "Member extra enjoy 95 discount" (额外享受95折). Usually, this means 5% off the final price or original. Let's assume standard stacking: 1000.8=100 * 0.8 = 80. Then member gets 95% of 80=80 = 76. Or if it means 95% of original, it's 95.But(3)is95. But (3) is 76, which implies stacking. (1) is wrong (7 days). (2) is wrong (limited quantity). (4) is wrong (no return for special items). So (3) is the intended correct logic for "extra 95折" on top of sale.
  2. (1)
    Calculation: Non-member, 120.20120. 20% off. 120 * 0.8 = $96.
  3. (3)

  4. (3)
    Text: "读者仍可在馆内阅读".
  5. (2)
    Text: "请提前在周五(5月17日)前办理".
  6. (2)
    Chart: 6-7 hours is 45%, the highest percentage.
  7. (3)
    Calculation: Less than 6 (15%) + 6-7 (45%) = 60%.
  8. (2)
    Inference: Only 10% sleep >8 hours, which is a minority. (1) is too absolute. (3) is not supported. (4) is not in the chart.
  9. (2)
    Calculation: 1000 * 30% = 300.
  10. (2)
    Purpose: To understand the sleep status (survey).

Section C: Reading Comprehension 2 (35 marks)
