Answer Key with Rationale (mini)

1. B — cause→result; early prep leads to 水到渠成.
2. A — “crystal clear” fits clarity.
3. A — copying and losing self = 邯郸学步.
4. C — 未雨绸缪 (prepare early) → 水到渠成.
5. A — concession pattern: despite X, still 有条不紊.
6. B — contrast vigilance vs 得过且过 (muddle through).
7. B — 水到渠成 as predicate/result; A misuses adverbial.
8. A — 的 for noun modifier.
9. A — adverbial manner without 地 is natural.
10. A — 无可厚非 = acceptable, not high praise.
11. B — rushing backfires.
12. A — theory-only critique.
13. A — direct paraphrase.
14. B — add feet to a snake = overdo and spoil.
15. B — united effort in the same boat.
16. B — 差强人意 = barely acceptable; conflicts with “now praise is premature” logic and tone (shouldn’t call it barely acceptable and caution about praising). Better rewrite as “成绩尚可/尚待观察”; B is flagged for mismatch.
17. B — praise needs 锦上添花, not 画蛇添足 (negative).
18. A — steady rollout.
19. A — safest as full idea “空穴来风，未必无因” (there may be a cause).
20. C — lives up to its name (deserving); others mismatch tone.

Tip: In exams, lock in function + grammar slot + connector first; then eliminate distractors by tone/register.
