1. Exam Overview | 试卷概览

This mock unit test is structured like a real Cambridge IGCSE Spanish assessment, with five distinct sections. It lasts 60 minutes and totals 50 marks. The table below summarises the layout and weight of each section.

这份模拟单元测试的结构与真实的剑桥IGCSE西班牙语考试相似，共包含五个部分。考试时间为60分钟，满分50分。下表概括了各部分的结构与分值。

Section	Content	Marks
A	Listening (At the doctor’s)	8
B	Grammar and vocabulary (multiple choice & gap fill)	12
C	Reading comprehension (two short texts)	10
D	Translation (English to Spanish, five sentences)	10
E	Writing (short email reply, approx. 80 words)	10

The test focuses on vocabulary related to daily routine, parts of the body, family and holidays. The main grammar point tested is the preterite (pretérito indefinido), with some questions requiring the imperfect or the present tense. Understanding how these topics are examined will help you prioritise your revision.

试卷重点考察与日常生活、身体部位、家庭及假期相关的词汇。语法核心是简单过去时 (pretérito indefinido)，部分题目还涉及过去未完成时或现在时。了解这些话题的考查方式能帮助你更高效地复习。

2. Listening Section: At the Doctor’s | 听力部分：在诊所

The listening passage is a dialogue between Carlos and his doctor. You hear it twice. Study the transcript extract below and the model answers, paying attention to how key details in the preterite are used to signal completed actions.

听力材料是Carlos与医生的一段对话，播放两遍。仔细阅读下面的录音节选和参考答案，留意简单过去时如何用来表达已完成的事件细节。

Audio script snippet: Doctor: Buenos días, Carlos. ¿Qué te pasa? Carlos: Me desperté a las seis y media con un fuerte dolor de cabeza y me dolía la garganta. Después vomité dos veces.

录音片段：医生：早上好，Carlos。你怎么了？Carlos：我六点半醒来，头痛得厉害，喉咙也疼。后来我吐了两次。

Question 1 (1 mark): ¿A qué hora se despertó Carlos? Answer: A las seis y media. Explanation: The verb ‘me desperté’ (I woke up) in the preterite indicates a finished action at a specific time. The phrase ‘seis y media’ is the direct answer.

问题1 (1分)：Carlos几点醒来的？答案：六点半。解释：简单过去时动词 ‘me desperté’ 表示在特定时间完成的动作，短语 ‘seis y media’ 就是直接答案。

Question 2 (1 mark): Menciona un síntoma que Carlos tuvo. Answer: Dolor de cabeza / Le dolía la garganta / Vomitó. Explanation: Any of the three is correct. ‘Dolor de cabeza’ is a noun phrase, while ‘le dolía la garganta’ uses the imperfect to describe a background feeling, but it is still a valid symptom mentioned.

问题2 (1分)：说出Carlos出现的一个症状。答案：头痛/喉咙痛/呕吐。解释：三个中的任何一个均得分。’Dolor de cabeza’ 是名词短语，而 ‘le dolía la garganta’ 使用了过去未完成时描述持续的感觉，但依然是文中提到的症状。

The listening section often includes numbers and times. Always listen for the exact hour and double-check whether the action happened ‘a las…’ or ‘sobre las…’. Practise with past papers to get used to different accents.

听力部分常考数字与时间。一定要听准具体钟点，并且确认动作是发生在 ‘a las…’（在几点）还是 ‘sobre las…’（大约几点）。多做真题能帮助你适应不同的口音。

3. Grammar Multiple-Choice: Preterite vs Imperfect | 语法选择题：简单过去时与过去未完成时

Grammar questions in Section B test your ability to choose the correct past tense. Below are two typical items with explanations. The preterite is used for completed events, while the imperfect describes ongoing or habitual past actions.

B部分的语法题考查如何选择正确的过去时态。下面是两道典型题目及解析。简单过去时用于已完成的动作，过去未完成时则描述持续或习惯性的过去行为。

Example 1: Ayer mi hermano ___ (comprar) un móvil nuevo. (A) compraba (B) compró (C) ha comprado. Answer: B, compró. Explanation: ‘Ayer’ (yesterday) is a clear time marker for the preterite. The action of buying is seen as completed.

例1：Ayer mi hermano ___ (comprar) un móvil nuevo. (A) compraba (B) compró (C) ha comprado. 答案：B, compró。解释：’Ayer’（昨天）是简单过去时的典型时间标记词，购买这一动作被视为已完成。

Example 2: Cuando era pequeño, ___ (jugar) al fútbol todos los días. (A) jugué (B) jugaba (C) he jugado. Answer: B, jugaba. Explanation: The phrase ‘todos los días’ signals a repeated past habit, requiring the imperfect. ‘Cuando era pequeño’ further sets the habitual background.

例2：Cuando era pequeño, ___ (jugar) al fútbol todos los días. (A) jugué (B) jugaba (C) he jugado. 答案：B, jugaba。解释：’todos los días’ 表示过去重复的习惯，需要用过去未完成时。’Cuando era pequeño’ 进一步提供了习惯性背景。

Always look for trigger words: ayer, anoche, la semana pasada (preterite) versus normalmente, siempre, todos los días, mientras (imperfect). Also remember that describing emotions or settings in the past usually takes the imperfect.

务必留意触发词：ayer、anoche、la semana pasada 一般搭配简单过去时；而 normalmente、siempre、todos los días、mientras 则常与过去未完成时连用。另外，描述过去的情绪或背景通常用未完成时。

4. Vocabulary & Collocations: Daily Routine | 词汇与搭配：日常生活

Section B also contains gap-fill exercises to check vocabulary accuracy. Typical items assess daily routine verbs and reflexive pronouns. Here is an example with a full answer key.

B部分还包含选词填空，考察词汇的准确性。典型题目关注日常起居动词及自复代词，下面是一道例题及全部答案。

Exercise: Completa con la palabra adecuada. Todos los días me (1) ___ a las siete. (2) ___ los dientes y luego (3) ___ una ducha. Antes de salir, (4) ___ el desayuno. Answers: (1) despierto, (2) Me lavo / Me cepillo, (3) me ducho / tomo, (4) tomo / desayuno.

练习：用适当的词填空。Todos los días me (1) ___ a las siete. (2) ___ los dientes y luego (3) ___ una ducha. Antes de salir, (4) ___ el desayuno. 答案：(1) despierto, (2) Me lavo / Me cepillo, (3) me ducho / tomo, (4) tomo / desayuno。

Pay special attention to reflexive verbs: me despierto (I wake up), me lavo (I wash myself), me ducho (I shower). Many students forget the reflexive pronoun. For ‘tener’ vs ‘tomar’ with meals, ‘tomar el desayuno’ and ‘desayunar’ are both accepted. The exam expects accurate spelling and agreement.

特别注意自复动词：me despierto（我醒来）、me lavo（我洗漱）、me ducho（我淋浴）。很多考生会遗漏自复代词。至于表示“吃早餐”，’tomar el desayuno’ 和 ‘desayunar’ 都算正确。考试要求拼写准确、搭配得当。

5. Reading Comprehension: A Postcard from Málaga | 阅读理解：来自马拉加的明信片

Text 1 in Section C is a postcard. Read it carefully and think about how the questions target specific details. The answers must be lifted accurately from the text or paraphrased closely.

C部分第一篇短文是一张明信片。仔细阅读，思考题目如何针对细节进行提问。答案需从文中准确提取，或进行紧密的转述。

Text: ¡Hola Marta! Estoy en Málaga con mi familia. El hotel está al lado de la playa y hace muy buen tiempo. Ayer visitamos la Alcazaba y por la tarde fuimos al puerto. Comí demasiados helados y me dolía el estómago, pero ya estoy bien. Mañana vamos a hacer surf. Un beso, Sara.

正文：你好Marta！我和家人在马拉加。酒店就在海滩旁边，天气非常好。昨天我们参观了阿尔卡萨瓦城堡，下午去了港口。我吃了太多冰淇淋，胃疼，但现在好了。明天我们要去冲浪。吻你，Sara。

Question: ¿Qué problema de salud tuvo Sara? Answer: Le dolía el estómago (por comer demasiados helados). Explanation: The text says ‘me dolía el estómago’. The question expects the problem, so ‘dolor de estómago’ or the exact phrase is acceptable.

问题：Sara出现了什么健康问题？答案：胃疼（因为吃了太多冰淇淋）。解释：文中说 ‘me dolía el estómago’，题目问的是问题，因此回答 ‘dolor de estómago’ 或原文短语均可。

Another question: ¿Qué tiempo hace? Answer: Hace muy buen tiempo. Explanation: This is a direct retrieval question; copy ‘hace muy buen tiempo’. Do not invent extra details.

另一题：天气怎么样？答案：天气非常好。解释：这是直接提取信息题，照抄 ‘hace muy buen tiempo’ 即可，不要添加额外细节。

When answering reading questions, always check the number of marks. If a question is worth 2 marks, you often need to give two pieces of information or a detailed phrase. Use quotation marks from the text only if requested.

回答阅读题时，务必看清分值。如果一道题占2分，通常需要给出两个信息点或一句较完整的描述。除非题目要求，否则不要使用引号。

6. Translation: English to Spanish | 翻译：英译西

Section D is a translation exercise with five short sentences. The aim is to test your command of the preterite tense, key vocabulary and word order. Below are the sentences from the mock paper and model answers.

D部分是五句话的英译西练习，旨在考查你对简单过去时、核心词汇及语序的掌握。下面是模拟卷中的句子和参考答案。

1. Yesterday I ate paella on the beach. Answer: Ayer comí paella en la playa. Explanation: ‘Ayer’ + preterite ‘comí’; ‘paella’ is feminine but does not change here; preposition ‘en’ for location.

1. 昨天我在海滩上吃了海鲜饭。答案：Ayer comí paella en la playa。解释：’Ayer’ 搭配简单过去时 ‘comí’；’paella’ 是阴性名词但此处无需变化；地点前用介词 ‘en’。

2. They visited the museum and took photos. Answer: (Ellos) visitaron el museo y sacaron fotos. Explanation: ‘Visitaron’ and ‘sacaron’ are third person plural preterite forms. ‘Sacar fotos’ is the idiomatic way to say ‘take photos’.

2. 他们参观了博物馆并拍了照。答案：(Ellos) visitaron el museo y sacaron fotos。解释：’visitaron’ 和 ‘sacaron’ 是第三人称复数简单过去时。’Sacar fotos’ 是表示“拍照”的习惯表达。

3. My sister was tired because she slept badly. Answer: Mi hermana estaba cansada porque durmió mal. Explanation: ‘Estaba cansada’ uses imperfect for state, ‘durmió’ is preterite for a completed action. Adjective agrees: ‘cansada’ (feminine).

3. 我妹妹很累，因为她没睡好。答案：Mi hermana estaba cansada porque durmió mal。解释：’estaba cansada’ 用未完成时描述状态，’durmió’ 用简单过去时表示完成的动作。形容词与主语保持性数一致：’cansada’。

Always check adjective agreement, correct preposition use, and that the verb tense matches the time expression. A common error is using the present perfect (‘he comido’) where the preterite is required with ‘ayer’.

翻译时一定要检查形容词配合、介词搭配，并确保动词时态与时间表达吻合。一个常见错误是在有 ‘ayer’ 的情况下误用现在完成时 (‘he comido’)，而应该用简单过去时。

7. Writing Task: Replying to an Email | 写作任务：回复邮件

The final section asks you to write an email of about 80 words. You are given a prompt from a friend, Ana, inviting you to a party and asking three questions: ¿Puedes venir a mi fiesta el sábado? ¿Qué vas a llevar? ¿Quieres dormir en mi casa? You must respond to all points.

最后一部分要求你写一封约80词的邮件。题目会给出来自朋友Ana的邮件，她邀请你参加周六的聚会，并提了三个问题：你能来参加我周六的派对吗？你会带什么？你想在我家过夜吗？你需要回应所有要点。

Model answer: ¡Hola Ana! Muchas gracias por la invitación. Sí, puedo ir a tu fiesta el sábado. Voy a llevar unos refrescos y una tarta de chocolate que hice ayer. Me encantaría dormir en tu casa, así podemos ver una película por la noche. Voy a llevar mi pijama y el cepillo de dientes. Cuento los días. Un abrazo, Luis. (82 words)

范文：你好Ana！非常感谢你的邀请。是的，我周六可以去你的派对。我会带一些饮料和我昨天做的巧克力蛋糕。我很愿意在你家过夜，这样我们晚上可以一起看电影。我会带上睡衣和牙刷。我在数着日子呢。拥抱，Luis。（82词）

Marking focus: To score high marks, you need to cover all bullet points, use a range of vocabulary and at least two tenses (here, present ‘puedo’, near future ‘voy a llevar’, preterite ‘hice’). Include linking words like ‘así’, ‘por eso’. Keep the tone informal but accurate, and watch out for spelling of common words like ‘invitación’, ‘llevar’, ‘dormir’.

评分重点：想拿高分，必须覆盖所有提示要点，使用一定范围的词汇和至少两种时态（此处有现在时 ‘puedo’、将来表达 ‘voy a llevar’ 和简单过去时 ‘hice’）。加入连接词如 ‘así’、’por eso’。保持非正式但准确的口吻，并注意常见词的拼写，如 ‘invitación’、’llevar’、’dormir’。

Plan your answer for 2-3 minutes before writing. Think of a quick structure: greeting, answer Q1, answer Q2, answer Q3, a nice closing sentence. Avoid repeating the same structures; show what you know.

写作前先花2-3分钟构思。思考一个快速的结构：问候、回答问题1、回答问题2、回答问题3、一个友好的结尾句。避免重复同样的句型，要展示出你掌握的语法和词汇。

8. Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them | 常见错误与避免方法

After marking many practice papers, a few mistakes stand out. Here are the most frequent errors and simple strategies to fix them before the real exam.

在批改了大量模拟卷后，一些错误频频出现。以下是最常见的失误以及可以在考前用到的简单纠正策略。

Mixing tenses: Using ‘fui’ (I went) when you mean ‘era’ (it was) for descriptions. Tip: Ask yourself if the action is a completed event or a background detail. Descriptions like ‘era bonito’ always use the imperfect.

时态混用：在描述背景时误用 ‘fui’（我去了）来表达 ‘era’（它是）。技巧：自问这是已完成事件还是背景细节。像 ‘era bonito’ 这样的描述总是用未完成时。

Adjective agreement: Forgetting to match gender and number, e.g. ‘el chico está cansada’. Tip: Double-check the noun before writing the adjective ending. Make it a habit in every sentence.

形容词配合：忘记性数一致，例如 ‘el chico está cansada’。技巧：写形容词词尾前快速回看名词，养成每句都检查的习惯。

Reflexive verb omission: Saying ‘despierto a las siete’ instead of ‘me despierto’. Tip: If the action is something you do to yourself, a reflexive pronoun is almost always needed. Memorise daily routine verbs with their pronouns: me despierto, me ducho, me visto.

遗漏自复代词：把 ‘me despierto’ 写成 ‘despierto a las siete’。技巧：如果动作是对自己做的，基本都需要自复代词。记日常起居动词时连同代词一起记：me despierto, me ducho, me visto。

Spelling and accents: Confusing ‘si’ (if) and ‘sí’ (yes), or forgetting the accent on preterite forms like ‘comió’, ‘durmió’. Tip: Write a short list of words you often misspell and test yourself five minutes before the exam. Accents can change meaning and cost marks.

拼写与重音：混淆 ‘si’（如果）和 ‘sí’（是/自己），或忘记简单过去时动词上的重音，如 ‘comió’、’durmió’。技巧：写一份经常拼错的单词清单，考前五分钟快速自测。重音会改变意思，也会导致丢分。
