1. Rhythm Dictation & Clapping | 节奏听写与拍击

Question (4 marks): The teacher claps the rhythm pattern shown below. Listen carefully and clap it back with accurate timing.

题目（4分）： 老师拍击下方所示的节奏型。仔细聆听后，准确地拍击出来。

♩ ♩ ♫ ♩

This pattern is made up of two crotchets, a pair of quavers and a final crotchet. Many learners lose marks by rushing the quavers or by not holding the last crotchet for its full beat. When clapping back, count a steady pulse in your head: ‘1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &’. The rhythm fits as ‘ta ta ti-ti ta’. Make sure each sound is clear and equal in length where needed.

这条节奏由两个四分音符、一对八分音符和一个结尾的四分音符组成。很多学生因为抢拍八分音符或者没有把最后一个四分音符的时值保持足而丢分。回拍时，在心里数一个稳定的拍点：“1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &”。节奏型对应的拟声是“ta ta ti-ti ta”。确保每个音都清晰，且时值准确。

The symbol ♩ equals one beat; ♫ shows two eighth notes sharing one beat. Keep the tempo steady.
符号 ♩ 等于一拍；♫ 表示两个八分音符共享一拍。保持速度均匀。

2. Listening for Dynamics | 听力：辨别力度变化

Question (3 marks): You will hear a short orchestral excerpt. Tick the box that correctly describes the change in dynamics.

题目（3分）： 你将听到一段简短的管弦乐片段。在正确描述力度变化的选项旁打勾。

A. The music starts loud and becomes gradually softer (decrescendo).
B. The music starts soft and becomes gradually louder (crescendo).
C. The music stays at a medium volume throughout (mezzo forte).

If the extract moves from a gentle opening to a bold, powerful ending, the answer is B. The correct term is crescendo, often abbreviated as cresc. In English, we say ‘getting louder’. Remember that a composer may also use a hairpin symbol that opens to the right (＜) to indicate this. In the exam, listen for the direction of change, not just the overall mood.

如果这段音乐由轻柔的开头逐渐走向响亮有力的结尾，答案就是B。正确的术语是crescendo（渐强），常缩写为cresc.。作曲家也会用一个向右开口的渐强符号（＜）来表示。考试时要仔细听力度的变化方向，而不是只凭总体印象判断。

3. Note Names on the Treble Clef | 高音谱表上的音符名称

Question (5 marks): Write the correct letter name under each of the following five notes on the treble stave. (The notes are drawn on the bottom line, first space, second line, second space, and third space.)

题目（5分）： 写出以下高音谱表上五个音符对应的正确音名。（音符分别位于下加一线、第一间、第二线、第二间和第三间。）

Using the well-known mnemonic ‘Every Good Boy Deserves Football’ for lines and ‘FACE’ for spaces, the answers are:

使用熟记的口诀：线上音“Every Good Boy Deserves Football”（E G B D F），间内音“FACE”（F A C E），答案如下：

Bottom line (E4) → E
Bottom line (E4) → E
First space (F4) → F
First space (F4) → F
Second line (G4) → G
Second line (G4) → G
Second space (A4) → A
Second space (A4) → A
Third space (C5) → C
Third space (C5) → C

Always check whether the note head fills the space or cuts through the line; this quickly tells you its position. In Year 7, you are expected to identify notes from C4 (middle C) up to G5 at the top of the stave.

永远要检查符头是填满间还是穿过线，这能快速判断位置。在七年级，你需要辨认从中央C (C4) 到高音谱表上方G5的音符。

4. Matching Notes and Rests | 音符与休止符配对

Question (5 marks): Draw a line to match each note with its corresponding rest of the same time value.

题目（5分）： 将每一个音符与对应时值的休止符连线。

Note (English name)	音符（中英术语）	Rest symbol
Semibreve (whole note) ♩	全音符（semibreve）	𝄻 (hanging from the 4th line)
Minim (half note) ♩	二分音符（minim）	𝄼 (sitting on the 3rd line)
Crotchet (quarter note) ♩	四分音符（crotchet）	𝄽 (curvy symbol)
Quaver (eighth note) ♪	八分音符（quaver）	𝄿 (single hook)
Semiquaver (sixteenth note) ♬	十六分音符（semiquaver）	𝄿 with two hooks

Remember that each note value has a rest of exactly the same length. Being able to match them is essential for reading and writing rhythm accurately. The semibreve rest hangs down, the minim rest sits up; this visual trick often helps.

记住每个音符时值都有完全等长的休止符。正确配对是精准读谱和记谱的基础。全休止符悬挂于线，二分休止符坐于线上，这个视觉窍门很有用。

5. Instrument Families | 乐器家族分类

Question (5 marks): Write the family each instrument belongs to: violin, flute, trumpet, timpani, xylophone.

题目（5分）： 写出以下每种乐器所属的家族：小提琴、长笛、小号、定音鼓、木琴。

Violin → Strings (弦乐) – sound is made by drawing a bow across strings or plucking.
Violin → 弦乐家族 – 通过弓拉弦或拨弦发声。
Flute → Woodwind (木管) – originally made of wood; sound produced by blowing across an opening. Even though modern flutes are metal, the classification remains.
长笛 → 木管家族 – 最初用木制，通过吹气在开口处发声。尽管现代长笛为金属制，分类不变。
Trumpet → Brass (铜管) – made of brass, played by buzzing lips into a mouthpiece.
小号 → 铜管家族 – 铜制，通过嘴唇振动导向吹嘴发声。
Timpani → Percussion (打击乐) – tuned drums that are struck with mallets.
定音鼓 → 打击乐家族 – 有固定音高的鼓，用槌击奏。
Xylophone → Percussion (pitched percussion) – wooden bars struck with beaters producing definite pitches.
木琴 → 打击乐（有音高打击乐）– 用棒击奏木条，发出明确音高。

In Cambridge Music, you are expected to describe how the sound is produced, not just name the family. Always link the playing technique to the family: bowing (strings), blowing (woodwind and brass) or striking (percussion).

在剑桥音乐课程中，不仅要求说出家族名称，更要描述发声方式。把演奏技法与家族联系起来：拉弦（弦乐）、吹奏（木管与铜管）或击奏（打击乐）。

6. Italian Tempo Terms | 意大利速度术语

Question (4 marks): Write the English meaning of each term: allegro, andante, adagio, presto.

题目（4分）： 写出以下术语的英文含义：allegro, andante, adagio, presto。

Term	Meaning (English)	中文含义
Allegro	Fast, lively	快速，活泼
Andante	At a walking pace	行板，步行速度
Adagio	Slow and stately	缓慢而庄严
Presto	Very fast	急板，非常快

These terms form the backbone of the common tempo vocabulary. Note that ‘andante’ literally means ‘walking’ – an excellent way to remember its moderate pace. Tempo markings are almost always given in Italian in classical music, so memorising the basic set is expected at this level.

这些术语构成了常用速度词汇的基础。注意“andante”字面意为“行走”，这是记住它中等速度的好方法。古典音乐的速度标记几乎总是用意大利语，因此记住基本术语是这一阶段的必须要求。

7. Time Signature Identification | 识别拍号

Question (1 mark): Which time signature tells us there are four crotchet beats in each bar? Write the symbol.

题目（1分）： 哪个拍号表示每小节有四拍，以四分音符为一拍？写出它的符号。

4/4

The top number shows how many beats are in a bar; the bottom number tells us what kind of note gets one beat (4 means crotchet). In 4/4 time, count ‘1 2 3 4’ for each bar. It is so common that it is often called ‘common time’ and sometimes written as a C symbol. For full marks, you must be able to explain what both numbers mean.

上面的数字表示每小节有几拍，下面的数字表示以哪种音符为一拍（4代表四分音符）。在 4/4 拍中，每小节数“1 2 3 4”。由于十分常见，它常被称为“普通拍子”，有时也写作符号 C。要得满分，你必须能解释两个数字的含义。

8. Creating a Four-Bar Rhythm | 创作四小节节奏

Question (8 marks): Complete a four-bar rhythm in 4/4 time using only crotchets, quavers and minims. Each bar must add up to four beats and the rhythm must end on a long note.

题目（8分）： 完成一个四小节的 4/4 拍节奏，只使用四分音符、八分音符和二分音符。每小节之和必须为四拍，并且节奏应以长音结束。

A successful answer will show variety without breaking the rules. For example, Bar 1: ♩ ♩ ♩ ♩ ; Bar 2: ♫ ♩ ♩ ♩ ; Bar 3: ♩ ♫ ♩ ♩ ; Bar 4: 𝅗𝅥 (minim) 𝄼 (minim rest) or a minim tied to a crotchet. The final bar should feel settled. Marks are awarded for correct total beats, use of rests if needed, clear notation, and a sense of ending. Avoid overcrowding a bar – if you use quavers, always pair them to equal one beat.

一个优秀的答案将在规则内体现变化。例如第一小节 ♩ ♩ ♩ ♩ ；第二小节 ♫ ♩ ♩ ♩ ；第三小节 ♩ ♫ ♩ ♩ ；第四小节二分音符和二分休止符，或者二分音符加附点之类。最后一小节应有一种终止感。评分点包括拍数正确、必要时的休止符运用、记谱清晰，以及结束感。切忌在一小节内塞入过多音符——如果使用八分音符，务必成对，凑满一拍。

9. Composing a Simple Melody | 创作简单旋律

Question (5 marks): Using the given pentatonic notes C, D, E, G, A, write a short four-bar melody in 4/4 time. Add your own rhythm.

题目（5分）： 使用给出的五声音阶音符 C、D、E、G、A，在 4/4 拍中创作一条四小节短旋律，并自编节奏。

Pentatonic melodies are attractive because they avoid semitone clashes. A strong opening often starts on C or E and uses stepwise motion. A model answer: C crotchet, D crotchet, E crotchet, G crotchet | A minim, G crotchet, A crotchet | G crotchet, E crotchet, D crotchet, C crotchet | C semibreve. The melody moves mostly by step, has a small leap to A, and comes to rest on the tonic C. You do not need to write complicated leaps; coherence and a clear finish are what examiners look for.

五声音阶旋律因避免了半音冲突而非常悦耳。一个有力的开头常从 C 或 E 开始，并采用级进。参考答案：C四分音符，D四分音符，E四分音符，G四分音符 | A二分音符，G四分音符，A四分音符 | G四分音符，E四分音符，D四分音符，C四分音符 | C全音符。这条旋律以级进为主，有一个小跳至A，最后停留在主音C。不需要写复杂的大跳；考官看重的是连贯性和清晰的结尾。

10. Comparison of Two Melodic Excerpts | 比较两个旋律片段

Question (10 marks): Listen to or read the two melodies below. Describe two similarities and two differences in pitch and rhythm.

题目（10分）： 聆听或阅读下面两条旋律。在音高和节奏方面各描述两个相同点和不同点。

Melody A: C crotchet, E crotchet, G crotchet, E crotchet | C minim tied to a crotchet, rest.
Melody B: C crotchet, E crotchet, G crotchet, C5 crotchet | G minim, G crotchet, rest.

Both melodies start with the same three-note rising pattern C–E–G, which is a similarity in pitch contour. In rhythm, both use only crotchets in the first bar. A clear difference is that Melody A ends on a low C (the tonic) while Melody B leaps up to C5 and then descends to G. Rhythmically, Melody A ties the last note across the bar, creating a longer held sound, whereas Melody B uses a minim plus a separate crotchet. When comparing, always use technical language: mention steps, leaps, range, note values, syncopation (if any) and direction of the melody. A top answer also notes the expressive effect – Melody A feels more settled, while Melody B sounds more open and bright.

两条旋律都以相同的三个音 C–E–G 开始，这是音高轮廓的一个相同点。在节奏上，两条旋律的第一小节都只用四分音符。一个明显的不同点是，旋律 A 以低音 C（主音）结束，而旋律 B 先跳至高音 C5，再下行至 G。节奏方面，旋律 A 将尾音跨小节连线，形成更长的延持，而旋律 B 使用了二分音符加一个单独的四分音符。在比较时，一定要使用专业术语：提到级进、跳进、音域、时值、切分（如果有的话）以及旋律走向。高分答案还会提到表情效果——旋律 A 听起来更安定，而旋律 B 则更开放明亮。
