What is tested in P4 synonyms

In P3 and P4 the underlined words become two-character written-register words — 立刻 for 马上, 美丽 for 漂亮 — and the options sit closer together. The question becomes whether a child can find the closest match rather than one that is merely near enough.

Common traps

How to practise

After choosing, read the option back into the sentence. If it does not read smoothly it is not the answer. Record three things for each mistake — the original word, the answer, and one sentence — rather than the word alone.

P4 synonyms · worked examples

  1. 妈妈每天工作很辛苦，还要照顾我和妹妹。 “辛苦”的意思是：

    • ・心里感到难过和委屈
    • ・身体生病要看医生
    • ✓ 身体和精神感到疲劳
    • ・心情紧张害怕做错

    Why: The answer is "身体和精神感到疲劳 (tired in body and mind)". Mum works every day and still has to look after me and my sister, so by the end of the day she is worn out in body and mind — that is what "辛苦" means. "心里感到难过和委屈 (sad and wronged)" is about sadness; nothing in the sentence makes Mum sad, and 辛苦 is not sadness. "身体生病要看医生 (ill and needs a doctor)" is about illness, but 辛苦 means tired, not sick. "心情紧张害怕做错 (nervous and afraid of mistakes)" is about fear, but the sentence is about having a lot of work, not being afraid of making mistakes.

  2. 妈妈每天都会帮妹妹洗澡，让她保持干净。 “洗澡”的意思是：

    • ・换上一件新衣服
    • ✓ 用水把身体洗干净
    • ・把头发梳理整齐
    • ・用毛巾擦脸擦手

    Why: The answer is "用水把身体洗干净". 洗澡 means washing the body with water, so this is correct. "用毛巾擦脸擦手" is wiping, not washing; "换上一件新衣服" is changing clothes; "把头发梳理整齐" is combing hair, none are 洗澡.

  3. 小和按照地图，顺着步道往前走，就看到了植物园里的喷泉。 “顺着”的意思是：

    • ・朝着某个方向走
    • ・随意到处走走
    • ✓ 沿着某条路走
    • ・快速奔跑过去

    Why: The answer is "沿着某条路走". The text says '顺着步道往前走', meaning walk along the path, so "顺着" means 'along a path'. "朝着某个方向走" emphasizes direction, not path; "快速奔跑过去" and "随意到处走走" do not match the original.

Pin down what the underlined word means in this sentence before comparing options; do not go by how similar they look.
