Secondary 4 Higher Chinese Comprehension Quiz

Secondary 4 Higher Chinese Quiz - Comprehension Answer Key

Section A: Vocabulary in Context (10 marks)

Q1. (2) 关键
Explanation: “关键” (key/critical) fits best in the context of finding balance being crucial. “重要” is too generic; “迫切” refers to urgency of time/action, not importance of a state; “显著” means significant/obvious, which doesn't fit the grammatical structure as well as “关键” which acts as a noun/adjective complement.

Q2. (2) 宁静
Explanation: “宁静” (tranquility/peace) refers to a state of mind. “休息” is physical rest; “停顿” is a pause in action; “空白” is blankness. Meditation leads to mental peace.

Q3. (2) 财富
Explanation: “财富” (wealth/asset) is commonly used metaphorically for health (“健康是最大的财富”). “资产” is more financial; “资本” is capital for investment; “资源” is resource.

Q4. (1) 敬而远之
Explanation: “敬而远之” (keep at a respectful distance) describes the reaction to arrogant behavior. “望而却步” is to shrink back at difficulty; “退避三舍” is to retreat to avoid conflict; “嗤之以鼻” is to snort at/disdain, which is an active reaction, whereas the context implies people moving away from the arrogant person.

Q5. (3) 充实
Explanation: “充实” (fulfilling/enriched) describes a life that is substantial and meaningful, fitting the context of “inner and outer cultivation”. “美满” is usually for family/marriage; “完整” is complete; “丰富” is rich/abundant, but “充实” better captures the sense of spiritual fullness.
