1. Overview of the Mock Exam | 模拟卷概览
The Year 10 CCEA Geography unit test typically lasts 1 hour and is marked out of 50. It assesses one or two themes from the specification, such as 'Our Dynamic Landscape' (rivers and coasts) or 'People and Where They Live' (population and settlement). The paper includes short-answer questions, extended writing tasks, and stimulus-response items using maps, graphs, and photographs.
Year 10 CCEA 地理单元测试通常时长为 1 小时，满分 50 分。它评估课程说明中的一至两个主题，例如 '动态地貌'（河流与海岸）或 '人与聚居地'（人口与聚落）。试卷包括简答题、扩展写作题，以及使用地图、图表和照片的材料分析题。
In CCEA's own GCSE specification, these themes appear as River Environments and Coastal Environments within 'Understanding Our Natural World', and Population and Migration within 'Living in Our World'. Year 10 unit tests are usually written in the same style, so the skills you practise here transfer directly to the real examination in Year 12.
在 CCEA 自己的 GCSE 课程说明中，这些主题分别以 '理解我们的自然环境' 下的河流环境与海岸环境，以及 '生活在我们的世界中' 下的人口与迁移呈现。十年级单元测试通常采用相同命题风格，因此你在此练到的技能可直接迁移到十二年级的正式考试。
Because the paper is worth 50 marks in 60 minutes, every mark is worth about 1.2 minutes of writing time. That single calculation should shape your whole approach: a 2-mark question deserves roughly two and a half minutes, while a 12-mark extended answer deserves fourteen or fifteen minutes.
由于整卷 50 分、时长 60 分钟，每一分大约对应 1.2 分钟的作答时间。这个简单换算决定你的整体策略：2 分题约用 2.5 分钟，12 分扩展写作题则应留出 14 至 15 分钟。
60 minutes ÷ 50 marks = 1.2 minutes per mark
The assessment objectives are normally split between knowledge (AO1), understanding and application of processes (AO2), and skills such as map and data interpretation (AO3). Strong candidates show all three: they name the process, explain how it works, and support the answer with evidence from the stimulus or from a named case study.
评价目标通常分为知识（AO1）、过程的理解与应用（AO2），以及地图与数据解读等技能（AO3）。高分考生三项兼备：说出过程名称、解释其运作机制，并用材料或具名案例作为证据支撑。
| Paper part / 试卷部分 | Marks / 分值 | What it tests / 考查内容 |
| Short-answer questions / 简答题 | 10-20 | Key terms, definitions, processes / 术语、定义、过程 |
| Stimulus-response items / 材料分析题 | 15-25 | Maps, graphs, photographs, data / 地图、图表、照片、数据 |
| Extended writing / 扩展写作 | 10-15 | Case studies, evaluation, structure / 案例、评价、结构 |
2. Rivers: Processes, Landforms and the Bradshaw Model | 河流：过程、地貌与布拉德肖模型
River questions almost always begin with drainage basin vocabulary. You must be able to define source, mouth, tributary, confluence, watershed, infiltration, percolation, interception, surface run-off, throughflow, groundwater flow and evapotranspiration, and to place them correctly on a diagram.
河流题目几乎总是以流域词汇开场。你必须能定义源头、河口、支流、汇流点、分水岭、下渗、渗漏、截留、地表径流、壤中流、地下水流与蒸散发，并能在地图上正确标注出来。
The four processes of erosion are hydraulic action, abrasion (corrasion), attrition and solution (corrosion). The four processes of transportation are traction, saltation, suspension and solution. Deposition happens when a river loses energy, for example on the inside of a meander, at the mouth, or after a flood.
四种侵蚀作用是水力作用、磨蚀、磨耗与溶蚀。四种搬运方式是拖移、跃移、悬移与溶解。当河流能量下降时就会发生沉积，例如在河曲内侧、河口处，或洪水退去之后。
Discharge is the key quantitative idea. It is calculated by multiplying the cross-sectional area of the channel by the velocity of the water, and it is measured in cubic metres per second (m³ s⁻¹), sometimes called cumecs.
流量是最关键的定量概念。它等于河道横截面积乘以水流速度，单位是立方米每秒（m³ s⁻¹），有时称为秒立方米。
Q = A × V (discharge = cross-sectional area × velocity)
The Bradshaw model describes how a river changes from source to mouth: discharge, width, depth, velocity, and load quantity all increase downstream, while average sediment size, channel gradient and bed roughness decrease. Examiners often ask you to use the model to explain a data table showing downstream change.
布拉德肖模型描述河流从源头到河口的变化：流量、宽度、深度、流速与输沙量向下游递增，而平均沉积物粒径、河床比降与河床粗糙度则递减。考官常要求你运用该模型解释一张显示下游变化的数据表。
Named landforms to revise include V-shaped valleys, interlocking spurs, waterfalls and gorges in the upper course; meanders, river cliffs and slip-off slopes in the middle course; and floodplains, levees, ox-bow lakes and deltas in the lower course. For each one, practise writing a chain of explanation rather than a single sentence.
需复习的具名地貌包括：上游的 V 形谷、交错山嘴、瀑布与峡谷；中游的河曲、凹岸陡崖与凸岸缓坡；下游的河漫滩、天然堤、牛轭湖与三角洲。对每一个地貌，都要练习写出完整的因果链条，而不是一句话带过。
- Waterfall formation / 瀑布的形成： rock over soft rock → differential erosion → undercutting → collapse → retreat upstream / 硬岩覆盖软岩 → 差异侵蚀 → 底部掏空 → 崩塌 → 向上游后退
- Ox-bow lake formation / 牛轭湖的形成： al erosion narrows the meander neck → cut-off during a flood → deposition seals the ends / 侧蚀使河曲颈部变窄 → 洪水期截弯取直 → 沉积封堵两端
- Levee formation / 天然堤的形成： flood → sudden loss of energy → coarse sediment dropped first → raised banks / 洪水 → 能量骤降 → 粗颗粒先沉积 → 河岸抬高
3. Coasts: Waves, Erosion and Management | 海岸：波浪、侵蚀与管理
Coastal questions reward precise use of process vocabulary. Constructive waves are low in frequency, long in wavelength, and have a strong swash and weak backwash, so they build beaches. Destructive waves are high in frequency, short in wavelength, and have a weak swash and strong backwash, so they remove material.
海岸题目奖励精准的过程用语。建设性波浪频率低、波长大，进流强、回流弱，因此堆积海滩。破坏性波浪频率高、波长小，进流弱、回流强，因此带走物质。
Weathering breaks rock down in situ and is different from erosion, which involves the transport of material. The main types are mechanical (freeze-thaw), chemical (carbonation of limestone) and biological (plant roots, burrowing animals). Mass movement includes rockfall, sliding and slumping, and is driven by gravity, often after heavy rain saturates the cliff.
风化在原地把岩石分解，与涉及物质搬运的侵蚀不同。主要类型有物理风化（冻融）、化学风化（石灰岩的碳酸化）和生物风化（植物根系、穴居动物）。块体运动包括崩落、滑动与崩塌，由重力驱动，常在暴雨使崖体饱和之后发生。
The four coastal erosion processes mirror rivers: hydraulic action, abrasion, attrition and solution. Longshore drift transports sediment along the coast: swash carries material up the beach at the angle of the prevailing wind, and backwash returns it at right angles to the shoreline.
四种海岸侵蚀过程与河流相似：水力作用、磨蚀、磨耗与溶蚀。沿岸漂移把沉积物沿海岸搬运：进流沿盛行风斜向把物质推上滩面，回流则垂直于岸线退回。
Landform questions usually split into discordant coasts (headlands and bays) and concordant coasts (cliffs, wave-cut platforms, caves, arches, stacks and stumps). Depositional landforms include beaches, spits, bars, tombolos, sand dunes and salt marshes. Always explain the sequence, not just the name.
地貌题通常分为不整合海岸（岬角与海湾）和整合海岸（海崖、波切台、海蚀洞、海蚀拱、海蚀柱与海蚀桩）。堆积地貌包括海滩、沙嘴、沙坝、连岛沙洲、沙丘与盐沼。务必解释形成序列，而不只是写出名称。
Management is where evaluation marks live. Hard engineering such as sea walls, groynes, rock armour and gabions protects one stretch of coast but is expensive and can increase erosion further along the shoreline. Soft engineering such as beach nourishment, dune regeneration and managed retreat is cheaper and more sustainable but protects less immediately.
管理部分是评价分的来源。海堤、丁坝、抛石与石笼等硬工程可保护某一段海岸，但造价高昂，并可能加剧下游海岸的侵蚀。海滩补沙、沙丘修复与受控后退等软工程成本较低、更可持续，但短期防护效果较弱。
| Strategy / 措施 | Type / 类型 | Main limitation / 主要局限 |
| Sea wall / 海堤 | Hard / 硬工程 | Very costly; wave reflection speeds up erosion below / 造价极高；反射波加速堤下侵蚀 |
| Groynes / 丁坝 | Hard / 硬工程 | Starves beaches down-drift of sediment / 使下游海滩缺乏泥沙补给 |
| Beach nourishment / 海滩补沙 | Soft / 软工程 | Must be repeated; sediment source needed / 需反复补沙；需稳定沙源 |
| Managed retreat / 受控后退 | Soft / 软工程 | Land and property are lost to the sea / 土地与房产被海水吞没 |
