memahami petikan = yue du li jie (阅读理解)

Soalan satu dan dua terdapat dalam dua perenggan awal. Basikal itu sudah lama tidak ditunggang dan setiap hari hanya mendengar bunyi ombak, jadi cari apa yang sangat diingininya. Untuk persediaan, perhatikan siapa diminta berpindah dan siapa diminta menyapu habuk, kerana pilihan jawapan sengaja menukar peranan mereka.

Contoh: Labah-labah berpindah ke ambang tingkap, manakala penyapu tua menyapu habuk.

Awas: Pilihan yang menukar peranan dua watak adalah salah.

reading comprehension = yue du li jie (阅读理解)

Questions one and two are answered in the first two paragraphs. The bicycle has not been ridden for years and hears the waves every day, so look for what it longs to do. For the preparations, notice who is asked to move out and who is asked to sweep away the dust, because some choices swap their roles.

Example: The spiders move to the window ledge, while the old broom sweeps off the dust.

Watch out: A choice that swaps the two characters’ jobs is wrong.

memahami maksud tersirat = li jie han yi (理解含义)

Soalan tiga dan empat berlaku di kedai basikal. Basikal itu dipamerkan untuk dijual, jadi ia tidak tahu siapa akan membelinya dan sama ada ia dapat melihat laut lagi. Kata-kata basikal baharu memberi harapan; basikal biru menggunakannya untuk menenangkan dirinya dan basikal lama yang lain walaupun masih risau.

Contoh: Walaupun hatinya berdebar, ia tetap berharap akan bertemu tuan yang baik.

Awas: Jangan pilih jawapan yang tidak disebut dalam petikan.

reading between the lines = li jie han yi (理解含义)

Questions three and four happen at the bicycle shop. The bicycle is put out for sale, so it cannot know who will buy it or whether it will ever see the sea again. The new bicycle’s words give hope, and the blue bicycle uses them to calm itself and the other old bicycles even though it is still worried.

Example: Although it felt nervous, it still hoped to meet a kind owner.

Watch out: Do not choose an answer that the passage never mentions.

sebab dan sifat = yuan yin yu pin ge (原因与品格)

Soalan lima: lihat apa yang dilakukan oleh pak cik itu setiap pagi selepas membeli basikal, kerana itulah tujuannya. Soalan enam: fikirkan tindakan basikal biru sepanjang cerita. Ia merancang dengan bersungguh-sungguh, tidak berputus asa ketika dijual dan memberi semangat kepada basikal lain.

Contoh: Ia menggalakkan basikal lama lain supaya jangan bimbang.

Awas: Kedua-dua sifat dalam pilihan mesti benar.

reasons and character = yuan yin yu pin ge (原因与品格)

Question five: look at what the old man does every morning after he buys the bicycle, because that is his purpose. Question six: think about the blue bicycle’s actions throughout the story. It plans hard, does not give up when it is put on sale, and cheers up the other bicycles.

Example: It encouraged the other old bicycles not to worry.

Watch out: Both traits in a choice must be true.

peribahasa dan makna kata = shu yu he ci yi (熟语和词义)

Soalan tujuh: loceng basikal berbunyi sendiri kerana terlalu gembira, jadi pilih simpulan bahasa yang bermaksud hati berbunga-bunga. Soalan lapan: perkataan dalam ayat menggambarkan pak cik itu menunggang ke sana ke mari melalui jalan besar dan lorong kecil tanpa henti, seperti ulang-alik alat tenun.

Contoh: Pak cik itu berulang-alik di lorong-lorong untuk menghantar surat khabar.

Awas: Simpulan bahasa yang bermaksud cemas tidak sesuai dengan suasana gembira.

idioms and word meaning = shu yu he ci yi (熟语和词义)

Question seven: the bell rings by itself because the bicycle is so happy, so choose the idiom that means bursting with joy. Question eight: the word describes the old man riding back and forth through big streets and small lanes without stopping, like the shuttle of a weaving loom.

Example: The old man rode back and forth along the lanes delivering newspapers.

Watch out: An idiom meaning anxious does not fit a joyful moment.

sinonim dan sebutan = jin yi ci yu du yin (近义词与读音)

Soalan sembilan: pemuda itu memandang basikal dengan teliti sehingga perasan pelekat bintang kecil, jadi pilih perkataan yang bermaksud cermat. Soalan sepuluh: dalam frasa membesar, aksara itu dibaca zhang dengan nada ketiga. Cari pilihan yang juga bermaksud orang yang mengetuai, bukan panjang.

Contoh: xiao zhang (guru besar) dibaca dengan sebutan zhang.

Awas: Aksara yang bermaksud panjang dibaca chang.

synonyms and pronunciation = jin yi ci yu du yin (近义词与读音)

Question nine: the young man looks at the bicycle so closely that he spots a tiny star sticker, so pick the word meaning careful. Question ten: in the phrase growing up, the character is read zhang in the third tone. Find the option where it also refers to a leader, not to length.

Example: xiao zhang (headmaster) uses the zhang sound.

Watch out: When the character means long, it is read chang.

karangan berpandu = gong liao zuo wen (供料作文)

Peta minda memberikan lima cara melindungi laut dan kelima-limanya mesti disebut. Mulakan dengan ayat pengenalan, kemudian kembangkan setiap cara menjadi ayat lengkap menggunakan penanda wacana seperti pertama, selain itu, di samping itu dan akhir sekali. Tutup dengan satu ayat harapan supaya laut kita sentiasa bersih.

Contoh: Selain itu, kita patut kurangkan penggunaan beg plastik dan straw.

Awas: Tertinggal satu cara akan menyebabkan markah ditolak.

guided writing = gong liao zuo wen (供料作文)

The mind map gives five ways to protect the sea, and all five must appear. Open with an introductory sentence, then expand each way into a full sentence using linking words such as first, besides, in addition and finally. Close with a sentence of hope that our seas stay clean.

Example: Besides that, we should use fewer plastic bags and straws.

Watch out: Leaving out any one of the five points will cost marks.
