考研植物生理学重点:新加坡的中文考试，做完之后我震精了

—《华文？谁怕谁！》挑战题之一（附答案）

新加坡“推广华语理事会”去年推出《华文？谁怕谁！》大挑战活动，通过有趣的问答游戏，让新加坡公民以及永久居民亲身参与（凭新加坡身份证注册，其他地区的华人不能参与），感受中华文化的博大精深，深化他们对华文华语的认识，并进一步提升他们的华语掌握能力。今年7月6日起，“推广华语理事会”再次推出《华文？谁怕谁！》大挑战活动，分公开组和学生组，持续六周。本博转载公开组的题目，看看这些难倒新加坡人的挑战题，对我们中国人来说是不是也具有挑战性。题目附上英语翻译，如果题目本身对我们中国人来说太简单，还可以复习下英语。
