HSK 4 Mock Test Paper 1

The meeting was postponed. The woman says 「麻烦你改一下」 (please change it) and 「周二晚上再出发也来得及」 (leaving Tuesday evening is still in time), meaning the flight should be changed to a later time. A is wrong: the business trip was not canceled, only delayed. C is wrong: the other party told the woman about the postponement, so the man does not need to notify anyone again. D is wrong: the dialogue does not mention a hotel.

The man says 「正好在打折，价格比超市便宜一半」 (it happens to be on sale, and it is half the supermarket price), so he bought a lot. A is wrong: the supermarket was only used for price comparison; it was not said to be closed. B is wrong: the items were 「家里日常要用的」 (daily necessities for the home), not gifts. C is wrong: the woman mentioned the credit card because the payment had not yet been made; this has nothing to do with whether there is a charge.

The woman says 「老师一直鼓励我」 (the teacher has always encouraged me), so she decided to give it a try. B is not mentioned. C is wrong: the teacher, not classmates, encouraged her. D contradicts 「我本来对自己不太有信心」 (I originally lacked confidence in myself).

「不……吃东西」 (not eat...) is a rule meaning that something is not allowed, so use 「不允许」 (not allow). 「按时」 (on time), 「积累」 (accumulate), 「竟然」 (unexpectedly), and 「耐心」 (patience) do not work with 「不」 here.

「……了丰富的管理经验」 (gained rich management experience) needs a verb that can take 「经验」 as its object. Experience is acquired little by little, so use 「积累」 (accumulate). 「允许」 (allow) and 「耐心」 (patience) do not collocate with 「经验」; 「按时」 (on time) and 「竟然」 (unexpectedly) are not verbs.

「以为……没想到……」 (thought...but unexpectedly...) expresses an unexpected result, so use the surprised adverb 「竟然」 (unexpectedly). 「按时」 (on time) concerns time and cannot connect with 「这么简单」 (so simple); the other words also cannot go before 「这么简单」.
