Answer Key – IB Exam in Chinese A (Standard Level)：春 (Chūn) Spring
参考答案：
1. 根据问题需要写出两部分答案，切勿只回答一个部分的问题： 第一部分：不好。 第二部分：“偷偷地”写出了春草悄然而生的情景，给人不知不觉的感觉。“钻”形象地表现了春草冲破土层的劲，让人看到了小草顽强的生命力。这两个词运用拟人的修辞手法，赋予小草以人的情感，表现出可爱和趣味的特点，让人喜爱。如果用括号里的词做替换则失去了原本语言的生动和趣味性，让描述变得乏味和单调。（学生也可以根据这个答题思路开放性作答。）
2. 该问题的答案也由两个部分的内容组成： 第一部分：从触觉的角度来描写春风。 第二部分：写出了春风和煦、温暖、轻柔的特点。
3. 该问题的答案有三个需要回答的内容： 第一部分：“仿佛”表示“好像”、“似乎”的意思。 第二部分：“仿佛”是不能删掉的。 第三部分：这句话是从闻到花的甜味联想到果实累累，虚写了诱人的丰收美景图，是想象中的场景。如果删掉，就变成真实存在的画面，改变了作者原本想要表达的意思，不符合实际。（学生也可以根据这个答题思路开放性作答。）
