It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the October/November 2017 series for most Cambridge IGCSE®, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.

9715/23 Cambridge International A Level – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED October/November 2017 © UCLES 2017 Page 2 of 19 General Marking Principles Please note that it is not possible to list all acceptable alternatives in the Detailed Mark Scheme provided on the following pages. You will need to consider all alternative answers and unexpected approaches in candidates' scripts, make a decision on whether they communicate the required elements, in consultation with your Team Leader if necessary, and award marks accordingly. Crossing out: (a) If a candidate changes his/her mind over an answer and crosses out an attempt, award a mark if the final attempt is correct. (b) If a candidate crosses out an answer to a whole question but makes no second attempt at it, mark the crossed out work. Annotation used in marking: (a) BOD = Benefit of the Doubt and is used to indicate material considered by the Examiner and judged to be more correct than incorrect: the benefit of the doubt is given to the candidate and the mark is awarded. (b) NBOD = No Benefit of the Doubt and is used to indicate material considered by the Examiner and judged to be more incorrect than correct: the benefit of the doubt is not given to the candidate and the mark is not awarded. (c) caret = to indicate where something which is key to the response is missing. No response and ‘0’ marks Award NR (No Response): • If there is nothing written at all in the answer space or • If there is only a comment which does not in any way relate to the question being asked (e.g. ‘can’t do’ or ‘don’t know’) or • If there is only a mark which isn’t an attempt at the question (e.g. a dash, a question mark). Award 0: • If there is any attempt that earns no credit. This could, for example, include the candidate copying all or some of the question, or any working that does not earn any marks, whether crossed out or not.

The definition of a whole sentence is a complete unit of meaning which could be from a full stop to a semicolon or from a full stop to a full stop. If (and only if) all the words in the reject column appear in the answer unchanged, reject as a ‘lift’. Annotate this using the LM stamp (Lifted Material). It is not uncommon for candidates to ‘lift’ and then go on to rephrase acceptably, in which case indicate the lift using LM stamp but reward the rephrase. 3(a) 为什么小刘在月台上万分焦急？ 3 火车即将发车 1 背着行李 (an adjective describing heavy luggage is required) 漫长的30多个小时 The long lift should be rejected: [火车即将发车。] [ 虽然提前到了，月台拥挤的人群中，小刘万分焦急，他肩扛沉 重的行李，恨不得一步迈进车厢。] [ 在发车前一刻，满头大汗的他终于钻进爆满的车厢，等待他的 还有漫长的 30 多个小时。] [ 这是小刘来北京上大学以后第一次回家过年。] 月台拥挤 1 肩扛沉重的行李 1 爆满的车厢 1 这是他上大学后第一次回家过年 (Any 3 of 5) 1
