Each section contains a mix of short-answer and extended-response questions. The mark scheme prioritises accurate terminology, clear musical examples, and justification of musical decisions. Familiarising yourself with this layout will reduce surprises on the day of the test.
每部分均包含简答和拓展回答题型。评分标准注重术语的准确性、清晰的谱例以及对音乐决策的合理阐述。熟悉试卷结构能帮助你在正式测试时避免意外。
2. Music Theory – Key Signatures and Scales | 音乐理论 – 调号与音阶
Question 1 asked you to write the key signature for A major. The correct answer is three sharps: F♯, C♯ and G♯. A major is built on the tonic A with the pattern of whole and half steps (W‑W‑H‑W‑W‑W‑H). Remember that the order of sharps follows the circle of fifths: F♯ – C♯ – G♯ – D♯ – A♯ – E♯ – B♯.
第 1 题要求写出 A 大调的调号。正确答案是三个升号：F♯、C♯ 和 G♯。A 大调以 A 为主音，全音与半音的模式为全‑全‑半‑全‑全‑全‑半。升号出现的顺序遵循五度圈：F♯ – C♯ – G♯ – D♯ – A♯ – E♯ – B♯。
A second question required the ascending melodic minor scale of E minor. The key signature for E minor is one sharp (F♯), its relative major being G major. In the ascending melodic minor, raise the 6th and 7th degrees, giving: E, F♯, G, A, B, C♯, D♯, E. The descending melodic minor is the natural minor, so use only the key signature sharps.
第二道题要求写出 e 小调的上行旋律小调音阶。e 小调的调号是一个升号（F♯），它的关系大调是 G 大调。在上行旋律小调中，要升高第六级和第七级音，即：E, F♯, G, A, B, C♯, D♯, E。下行旋律小调则为自然小调，因此只需使用调号中的升号。
Students often confuse the key signatures of relative majors and minors. A useful mnemonic is: majors shout (e.g. G major is shouts – G – one sharp), while minors count down three semitones from the major tonic to find the relative minor.
学生经常混淆关系大小调的调号。一个实用的记忆方法是：从大调的主音向下数三个半音，便可找到关系小调；例如 G 大调的关系小调是 e 小调。
3. Intervals and Triads | 音程与三和弦
Question 3 asked you to build a major triad on the root D. A major triad consists of a major third from root to third, and a perfect fifth from root to fifth. Thus on D, the notes are D (root), F♯ (major 3rd) and A (perfect 5th). In the mock paper, many candidates forgot to include the accidental for F♯, writing F natural instead – this creates a minor triad.
第 3 题要求以 D 为根音构建一个大三和弦。大三和弦由根音向上构成大三度和纯五度。因此，D 上的大三和弦为 D（根音）、F♯（大三度）和 A（纯五度）。模拟卷中许多学生漏掉了 F♯的升记号，写成了 F 本位，这样就变成了小三和弦。
Another question tested interval recognition: identify the interval between G and E♭. The distance from G up to E is a major sixth; lowering the E to E♭ makes it smaller and therefore a minor sixth. Always count the letter names first, then adjust with accidentals to determine the quality.
另一道题考查音程识别：识别 G 到 E♭ 之间的音程。从 G 到 E 是大六度；将 E 降半音到 E♭ 缩小了音程，使之变为小六度。务必先数清音名字母的数量，再结合变化音确定音程性质。
When identifying triads in a short score, name the root and state the quality (major, minor, augmented or diminished). An augmented triad, for example, is a major triad whose fifth has been raised by a semitone. Practise writing I, IV and V triads in common keys to improve speed and accuracy.
在简谱片段中识别三和弦时，要说出根音并注明性质（大、小、增或减）。例如，增三和弦就是将大三和弦的五音升高半音。通过练习在常用调中写出 I、IV 和 V 级和弦，能提高答题速度和准确性。
4. Aural Perception – Rhythm Dictation | 听觉感知 – 节奏听写
The rhythm dictation question gave four bars of 4/4 time with missing note values in bars 2 and 3. The recording included a dotted crotchet followed by a quaver on beat 3, and syncopation across the bar line. Correct answers: bar 2 – crotchet rest, dotted crotchet, quaver; bar 3 – tied syncopation: quaver tied to a crotchet across the bar line.
节奏听写题提供了 4/4 拍的四小节，其中第 2、3 小节有遗漏的音符时值。录音包含附点四分音符加八分音符在第三拍，以及跨小节线的切分节奏。正确答案：第 2 小节 – 四分休止符、附点四分音符、八分音符；第 3 小节 – 跨小节切分：八分音符连到下一个小节的四分音符。
To prepare for rhythm dictation, tap the steady pulse first and say the rhythm syllables (e.g. 'crotchet' for one beat and 'ti-ti' for two quavers). Pay special attention to rests: they are just as important as notes. In the mock test, many students omitted the crotchet rest at the beginning of bar 2, losing easy marks.
为节奏听写做准备时，先稳定出拍点，然后读出节奏音节（如一拍用 'crotchet'，两个八分音符用 'ti‑ti'）。特别留意休止符：它们和音符同等重要。模拟卷中很多学生漏掉了第 2 小节开头的四分休止符，白白丢分。
5. Aural Perception – Melody and Pitch | 听觉感知 – 旋律与音高
This section required you to complete a missing melody by ear. The supplied opening was in C major, and the gaps covered a rising sequence and a modulation to the dominant G major. You needed to raise the F to F♯ in the fifth bar to confirm the modulation. The melodic contour in the final two bars was a descending stepwise figure concluding on the tonic C.
本部分要求通过听力补全缺失的旋律。给定的开头为 C 大调，空缺部分包含一个上行模进和向属调 G 大调的转调。你需要在第五小节将 F 升高为 F♯ 以确立转调。最后两小节的旋律轮廓是一个下行的级进形态，结束于主音 C。
Before writing, hum the missing pitches and identify the intervals. Use inner hearing to check whether the note feels correct within the tonality. A common error was writing D natural instead of D♯ in the ascending chromatic passage. Always double-check altered notes in the context of the new key.
听写之前，请先哼唱缺失的音高并辨别音程。运用内心听觉检查该音在调性中是否感觉合理。常见错误是在上行半音阶段落中将 D♯ 写成了 D 本位。一定要结合新调性反复检查变化音。
6. World Music – Indonesian Gamelan | 世界音乐 – 印度尼西亚甘美兰
The question asked: 'Describe two features of the gamelan ensemble and its musical structure.' You were expected to mention the colotomic structure and the use of heterophonic texture. In colotomy, time cycles are marked by gongs at specific points: the largest gong (gong ageng) signals the end of a major cycle, while smaller gongs delineate subdivisions.
题目要求："描述甘美兰乐队的两个特色及其音乐结构。"你需要提到 colotomic 结构（循环句读结构）和支声织体的运用。在 colotomy 中，大锣（gong ageng）标志着大循环的结束，而小锣则划分出次级的节拍片段。
The instruments are predominantly metallophones, such as the saron and gender, played with mallets. Slendro and pelog are the two tuning systems; slendro is a five-note scale, while pelog is a seven-note scale but often uses a five-note subset. Include correct spelling of instrument names, as marks are given for accurate terminology.
甘美兰乐器以金属体鸣乐器为主，如 saron 和 gender，用小槌演奏。斯连德罗（slendro）和培罗格（pelog）是两种调音系统：斯连德罗为五声音阶，培罗格虽为七声音阶但常选用五音子集。乐器名称的拼写要正确，因为准确术语可得分。
A further sub-question required you to compare gamelan with Western orchestral music in terms of texture. Gamelan textures are layered and cyclical, with no single melody dominating; in contrast, much Western music is homophonic, with a clear melody supported by harmonic accompaniment.
还有一个分问题要求比较甘美兰与西方管弦乐在织体上的区别。甘美兰的织体是多层循环的，没有单一旋律占主导；而许多西方音乐则是主调织体，有明显的旋律与和声伴奏支撑。
7. World Music – African Drumming Characteristics | 世界音乐 – 非洲鼓乐特征
The mock paper asked you to explain the role of cross-rhythms and call-and-response in West African drumming. Cross-rhythms occur when two or more contrasting rhythmic patterns are played simultaneously, often feeling like two against three or three against four. This creates a dense, polyrhythmic texture.
模拟试卷要求解释交叉节奏和呼应模式在西非鼓乐中的作用。交叉节奏是指同时演奏两个或以上对比的节奏型，常产生二对三或三对四的感觉，形成密集的复合节奏织体。
Call-and-response involves a soloist (master drummer) playing a rhythmic phrase, answered by the ensemble in a fixed pattern. It is a structural device as well as a social one, reinforcing community participation. The master drummer often signals changes in tempo or section with a specific cue, such as a drum hit on the bell.
呼应模式由领奏鼓手（master drummer）演奏一个节奏短句，随后合奏以固定模式回应。这既是一种结构手法，也是一种社会性手段，强化集体参与。领奏鼓手通常会通过特殊的鼓点暗示（如敲击钟铃）来标示速度或段落的转换。
Students sometimes confuse djembe and dunun instruments. The djembe is a goblet-shaped hand drum capable of producing bass, tone and slap sounds; the dunun are a family of double-headed cylindrical drums played with sticks. Be precise in instrument descriptions to secure maximum marks.
学生有时会混淆 djembe 和 dunun 鼓。djembe 是酒杯形的徒手鼓，能发出低音、中音和掌击声；dunun 则是一组双面圆柱鼓，用木棍演奏。准确描述乐器才能拿到满分。
8. Set Work Analysis – Structure and Texture | 指定作品分析 – 结构与织体
The set work for this mock was the first movement of Mozart's Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550. Question 1: Outline the sonata form structure. You should identify the exposition (first subject in G minor, transition to B♭ major, second subject in B♭ major), development (modulating through various keys, fragmenting the main motif), and recapitulation (both subjects in G minor, coda).
本次模拟卷的指定作品为莫扎特 g 小调第四十交响曲第一乐章，K. 550。第 1 题：概述奏鸣曲式结构。你需要指出呈示部（第一主题在 g 小调，经过句转到降 B 大调，第二主题在降 B 大调）、展开部（通过多个调性转调并分裂主要动机）和再现部（两个主题均回到 g 小调，加上尾声）。
Texture in the exposition often shifts from homophonic melody-plus-accompaniment to polyphonic imitation in the development section. In bar 101, a four-part imitative texture using the opening three-note motif creates tension. Use precise bar numbers when citing examples to demonstrate close knowledge of the score.
呈示部的织体多为旋律加伴奏的主调织体，而展开部则变为复调模仿织体。在第 101 小节，一个基于开头三音动机的四声部模仿织体制造了张力。引用谱例时使用准确的小节号以展示对乐谱的熟悉程度。
9. Set Work Analysis – Harmony and Melody | 指定作品分析 – 和声与旋律
Question 2 focused on the development section' n the three-note motif ascends through a circle of fifths: G minor → C minor → F minor → B♭ arks were awarded for identifying the key changes and explaining their structural purpose.
第 2 题聚焦展开部的和声进行。基于三音动机的模进按五度循环上行：g 小调 → c 小调 → f 小调 → 降 b 小调等。这种和声的不稳定性推动音乐走向再现部。评分标准要求准确识别调性变化并解释其在结构上的作用。
The opening melody features a descending semitone motif (E♭ – D) that generates much of the thematic material. Mozart uses inverted versions of this motif in the development. In your answer, mention rhythmic augmentation and diminution as well as contrapuntal treatment, showing how a simple idea can unify an entire movement.
开头的旋律包含一个下行半音动机（E♭ – D），这个动机衍生出大部分主题素材。莫扎特在展开部中使用了该动机的倒影形式。在你的答案中，要提及节奏扩展与缩减以及对位处理，展示一个简单的想法如何统一整个乐章。
10. Composition Task – Effective Use of Musical Devices | 作曲任务 – 有效使用创作手法
Section E required you to compose an 8-bar melody for an unaccompanied woodwind instrument that includes a sequence and imitation. The mark scheme rewarded melodic shape (balance of leaps and stepwise motion), rhythmic variety, clear phrasing, and correct use of the given key signature. For sequences, a real sequence transposes the pattern exactly, while a tonal sequence adjusts intervals to stay within the key.
E 部分要求为一件无伴奏木管乐器创作一段 8 小节的旋律，其中须包含模进和模仿手法。评分标准奖励旋律轮廓（跳进与级进的平衡）、节奏多样性、清晰的乐句划分以及调号的正确使用。模进中，严格模进完全移调，而自然模进则调整音程以保持在调内。
Imitation requires a short melodic idea stated by one part and repeated at a different pitch or by a different 'virtual' voice in an unaccompanied line. A good strategy is to use descending stepwise imitation in the second phrase. Many candidates lost marks by not including rests: even a solo line needs breathing points for the performer.
模仿手法要求在某个声部先呈现一个短旋律乐思，然后由另一个声部――在无伴奏线条中可假想另一个声部――在不同的音高上重复。一个有效策略是在第二乐句用下行级进的模仿。许多学生因未添加休止符而失分：即便是独奏旋律，也需为演奏者留出换气点。
11. Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them | 常见错误与如何避免
One frequent mistake in theory questions is mixing up relative major and minor key signatures. Always check whether the question asks for the key signature of the major or the minor key. A quick check: the tonic of the harmonic minor is one semitone above the leading note, so for D harmonic minor the leading note is C♯ and the tonic D.
理论题中常见的错误是混淆关系大小调的调号。一定要看清题目问的是大调还是小调的调号。快速检验：和声小调的主音比导音高一个半音，因此 d 和声小调的导音是 C♯，主音为 D。
In aural tests, students often miss a dotted rhythm because they write even quavers. Practise tapping dotted quaver‑semiquaver patterns and compare them with triplet rhythms. In world music, generic answers that do not name specific instruments or structures receive low marks – 'there are gongs' is not enough; you must name 'gong ageng'.
在听觉测试中，学生常因将附点节奏写成均分节奏而扣分。多练习拍打附点八分音符加十六分音符的节奏型，并与三连音对比。在世界音乐题中，泛泛而谈不提及具体乐器或结构的答案得分很低――只说"有锣"是不够的，必须写出"gong ageng"。
