This part tests whether you understand the main point and details of a passage. 10 questions — answer format: choose the correct option.
Read a passage and answer questions on it, choosing from printed options. At HSK 3 the passages are two or three sentences with one question; higher up they are full paragraphs or longer texts with several questions each.
Questions cover the main idea (这段话主要说什么), details, the meaning of a phrase in context and the writer’s attitude. Wrong options typically go too far, reverse a detail or say something the text never claims.
