TOCFL - Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language Reading Sentence Comprehension Questions and Answers

Question 1

這家餐廳的菜______好吃______便宜，難怪生意這麼好。

Accepted Answer

不但…而且…

Answer

「不但…而且…」 (bùdàn... érqiě...) is a common structure in Chinese used to express "not only... but also...". This fits the context of the sentence, which praises the restaurant for having food that is both delicious and inexpensive, thus explaining its popularity. The other options present different logical relationships that do not fit the sentence's meaning.

Question 2

小明在回家的路上，看到一家新開的書店，______他決定進去看看。

Accepted Answer

於是

Answer

「於是」(yúshì) means "so; therefore; as a result" and indicates a direct consequence or a next action resulting from the previous situation. Seeing a new bookstore prompted Xiao Ming to decide to go in. 「結果」 (jiéguǒ) means "as a result" but often implies a more significant or final outcome. 「然後」 (ránhòu) means "then" and indicates a sequence of events, but 「於是」 better captures the cause-and-effect link. 「不過」 (bùguò) means "however" and indicates a contrast, which is not present here.

Question 3

下列哪個句子的意思最接近「他把這個重要的會議給忘了」？

Accepted Answer

他想不起來這個重要的會議。

Answer

The original sentence 「他把這個重要的會議給忘了」 means "He forgot about this important meeting." The sentence 「他想不起來這個重要的會議」 means "He can't recall this important meeting," which is the closest in meaning. The other options present opposite or incorrect meanings.

Question 4

張先生昨天晚上開會開到半夜，______今天早上看起來很累。

Accepted Answer

難怪

Answer

「難怪」(nánguài) means "no wonder" or "it's not surprising that...". It is used to express that something is understandable given the circumstances. Because Mr. Zhang had a meeting until midnight, it is no wonder that he looks tired this morning. This word perfectly connects the cause (working late) with the observable result (being tired).

Question 5

______明天下雨，我們______把旅行延到下個星期。

Accepted Answer

萬一…就…

Answer

「萬一…就…」(wànyī... jiù...) means "in case... then...". It is used to talk about a hypothetical, often undesirable, situation and the resulting action. The sentence sets up a contingency plan: "In case it rains tomorrow, then we will postpone the trip to next week." This structure is appropriate for discussing possibilities and their consequences.
