短文
By six o’clock the stallholders at Pasar Malam Taman Indah had been setting up for an hour. Mr Lim’s fan of paper lanterns hung crooked, but he left it; the smell of charcoal and pandan was already drifting over the car park. Nadia, who had sold kuih beside her grandmother every Friday since she was nine, counted the trays twice and frowned. This was the first evening that the stall was hers alone. Across the row, the new banner for the supermarket’s “Fresh Market Week” glowed above the crowd, brighter than every lantern in the lane.
题目
1.（容易）Which detail shows how long Nadia has helped at the stall?
Show answer
细节是 “every Friday since she was nine”。它是直接陈述的，所以可以抄下关键词作证据，但引文要短，不要抄整个句子。
2.（容易）What can you infer about Nadia’s feelings about running the stall alone? Support your answer.
Show answer
她很焦虑，同时下定决心要做好。证据：她 “counted the trays twice and frowned”，而且文中强调这是 “the first evening”，摊位 “hers alone”。两个细节互相呼应，使这个推论站得稳。
3.（容易）A student writes: “Her grandmother must be ill.” Is this a sound inference?
Show answer
不是。短文没有说明祖母为什么不在，所以这是猜测。站得稳的推论要紧贴文本所给的内容，例如 “Nadia is taking on new responsibility”。
4.（中等）Explain what “drifting” means in “the smell of charcoal and pandan was already drifting over the car park”.
Show answer
意思是轻轻地在空气中扩散，不受强迫，所以气味在人们走到摊位之前就先到了。它暗示气氛诱人。避免循环定义，例如 “drifting means drifting along”。
5.（中等）How does the writer make the supermarket banner seem powerful? Refer to specific words.
Show answer
动词 “glowed” 赋予横幅光的特质，吸引目光。比较 “brighter than every lantern” 把它和手工灯笼对立起来，使小摊位显得被压了下去。这些词合在一起，暗示 Nadia 面对竞争。
6.（中等）In one sentence, summarise what makes the evening difficult for Nadia.
Show answer
示范：“Nadia is running the stall alone for the first time while a brighter supermarket banner competes for the crowd’s attention.” 歪掉的灯笼和炭火的气味有趣，但没有回答任务，所以不写进去。
7.（中等）Combine these three sentences into one: “The banner was bright. The banner was bigger than the lanterns. The banner drew people’s eyes.”
Show answer
示范：“The supermarket banner was bigger and brighter than the lanterns, so it drew the crowd’s eyes.” 重复的主语被删去，因果关系由 “so” 表达。
8.（较难）Rewrite for a letter to the market committee: “Hey, the lights near our stalls are so dim lol, can you fix them?”
Show answer
示范：“We would be grateful if the lighting near the stalls could be repaired, as customers find it hard to see our goods.” 随意的招呼、“lol” 和直接的要求，换成了礼貌而具体的语言。
9.（较难）Correct the punctuation: “Nadia counted the trays, she frowned.”
Show answer
这是逗号连接错误（comma splice）：两个完整句子只用一个逗号连起来。三种改法都可行：“Nadia counted the trays. She frowned.”，或 “Nadia counted the trays; she frowned.”，或 “Nadia counted the trays and frowned.”
10.（较难）Replace the weak words: “The lane was very, very crowded, and Nadia went to the front of the stall.”
Show answer
示范：“The lane was packed, and Nadia hurried to the front of the stall.” 一个精确的形容词取代了叠加的程度副词，而 “hurried” 表现出动作，比平淡的 “went” 更好。
