HSK 5 Mock Test Paper 2

The man says that even after the new car is discounted, it is 「也比二手的贵一倍多」 (still more than twice as expensive as a used one), and 「没必要花那么多钱」 (there is no need to spend that much), so he wants to save money. The answer is B. The new car is on sale; he did not say it was unavailable, so A is wrong. His friend only helped inspect it and did not recommend buying it, so C is wrong. He only said the used car had no major problems, not that it was better in quality than a new car, so D is wrong.

The woman says 「不如主动打个电话询问一下」 (you might as well call and ask proactively), so the answer is A. She tells him not to just wait, so B is opposite to her meaning. She does not suggest changing companies or apologizing, so C and D are wrong.

The man says 「夜里车辆的声音太吵，我几乎一夜没睡着」 (the traffic was so noisy at night that I could hardly sleep all night), so the answer is C. He says the room was quite clean, so A is wrong. The conversation does not mention the size or price, so B and D are wrong.

「数量增加了一倍」 (the quantity doubled) is a common collocation. The preceding text says that more and more adults are entering music classrooms, so D is correct. 「发生」 (occur) indicates that a situation appears and cannot take 「一倍」, so A is wrong. 「减少」 (decrease) is opposite to 「越来越多」, so B is wrong. 「扩大」 (expand) is mostly used for range or scale; we do not say 「数量扩大」, so C is wrong.

The text says adults have limited energy and less flexible fingers, which are unfavorable conditions. The result should therefore be that progress is slower, so A is correct. Given unfavorable conditions, B 「很快就能参加比赛」 (can quickly enter competitions) says the opposite. The later text has the teacher advising adults; it does not say most people give up, so C is wrong. The comparison is about energy and fingers, not seriousness, so D is wrong.

「每天坚持练习二十分钟，比一周只练一次……效果会好得多」 (practicing twenty minutes every day consistently is much more effective than practicing only once a week) is a comparative sentence, so C is correct. 「既然」 (since) introduces an established fact and should be followed by a conclusion, so A is wrong. 「尽管」 (although) expresses concession and needs a turn in the following clause, so B is wrong. Using 「不如」 would reverse the meaning, so D is wrong.
