SECTION A
Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below:
Evelyn Glennie’s loss of hearing had been gradual. Her mother remembers noticing
something was wrong when the eight-year-old Evelyn was waiting to play the piano. “They
called her name and she didn’t move. I suddenly realised she hadn’t heard,” says Isabel
Glennie. For quite a while Evelyn managed to conceal her growing deafness from friends and
teachers. But by the time she was eleven her marks had deteriorated and her headmistress
urged her parents to take her to a specialist. It was then discovered that her hearing was
severely impaired as a result of gradual nerve damage. They were advised that she should
be fitted with hearing aids and sent to a school for the deaf. “Everything suddenly looked
black,” says Evelyn.
But Evelyn was not going to give up. She was determined to lead a normal life and pursue
her interest in music. One day she noticed a girl playing a xylophone and decided that she
wanted to play it too. Most of the teachers discouraged her but percussionist Ron Forbes
spotted her potential. He began by tuning two large drums to different notes. “Don’t listen
through your ears,” he would say, “try to sense it some other way.”
With reference to the passage do as directed:
1. Find the word in the passage opposite in meaning to, ‘expose’. 1
2. Find the phrase in the passage similar in meaning to, ‘heavily damaged’. 1

Read the following passage and answer the questions set below it.
A young man learned archery from an expert archer. The guru taught him so well to use
the bow and arrow that the student soon became proficient in his field. He began to boast
that he was a greater archer than his guru.
One day the guru asked the proud young man to accompany him on a trip across the hills.
They walked and reached the edge of the cliff. The young man was nervous. The guru
told the student to shoot an arrow into a tree on the other side of the cliff. “It’s your turn”.
The young man made his way very slowly and carefully. He knew that if he lost his
balance, he would plunge to his death.
He took out an arrow but his fingers trembled. He was so preoccupied with his dangers
that he found it quite hard to focus on the target. As a result he missed the tree altogether.
“Help me!” he shouted in fear. The old man was calm as ever. He walked up to the young
man and led him to safety. The arrogant young fellow realized that it was not enough to
control the bow, he had to control his mind too. He realized his folly and was ashamed.

Read the following passage and complete the tree diagram given below. Write the
answers against their corresponding number. ( Do not draw the diagram ) 5
Emotion is usually considered to be a feeling about, or reaction to certain important events
or thoughts. An emotion can either be pleasant or unpleasant. An individual may also have a
mixture of both pleasant and unpleasant emotions. People enjoy feeling such pleasant
emotions as love, happiness and joy. They often try to avoid feeling unpleasant emotions
such as loneliness, worry and grief. However, people are sometimes not fully aware of their
own emotions. Although most people believe they know what an emotion is, psychologists
have not yet agreed on a definition that applies to both human beings and other animals.
Individuals communicate most of their emotions by means of words, a variety of other sounds,
facial expressions and gestures. For example, anger causes many people to frown, make a
fist and yell. People learn ways of showing their emotions from members of their society,
though heredity may determine some emotional behavior. Research has shown that different
isolated people show emotions by means of familiar facial expressions. Even children who
are born blind have facial expressions like those of sighted children.

MODEL QUESTION PAPER 2025-2026

GRADE 9 SEMESTER 1
Total Number of Questions: 60 Marks: 80
______________________________________________________________________
Read the following passage and answer the questions set below it:

I look at the flute seller standing in a corner of the square near the hotel. In his hand is a
pole with an attachment at the pole from which fifty or sixty bansuris protrude in all
directions, like the quills of a porcupine. They are of bamboo: there are cross- flutes and
recorders. From time to time, he stands the pole on the ground, selects a flute and plays
for a few minutes. The sound rises clearly above the noise of the traffic and the hawkers'
cries. He plays slowly, meditatively, without excessive display. He does not shout out his
wares. Occasionally he makes a sale, but in a curiously offhanded way as if this were
incidental to his enterprise. Sometimes he breaks off playing to talk off to the flute seller. I
imagine that this has been the pattern of his life for years.

I find it difficult to tear myself away from the square. Flute music always does this to me. It
is at once the most universal and most particular of sounds. There is no culture that does
not have its flute---the reed neh, the recorder, the Japanese shakuhachi, the deep bansuri
of Hindustani classical music, the clear or breathy flutes of South America, the high-
pitched Chinese flutes Each has its specific fingering and compass. It weaves its own
associations. Yet to hear any flute is, it seems to me, to be drawn into the commonality of
all mankind, to be moved by music closest to its phrases and sentences to the human
voice. Its motive force too is living breath: It too needs to pause and breathe before it can
go on.

With reference to the passage do as directed: 2

1. Find the phrase in the passage similar in meaning to, ‘stops’.
2. Find the word in the passage similar in meaning to ‘stick out in different directions’.

Frame meaningful sentences with each of the words given below without changing

been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from
the depth of truth
Where tireless striving
stretches it arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason
Has not lost its way

Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father,
Let my country awake.
-Rabindranath Tagore

Read the following passage and complete the tree diagram given below. Write the
answers against their corresponding number.(Do not draw the diagram) 5

Agriculture in India is a vital sector, employing nearly half of the country’s workforce and
contributing significantly to the economy. It encompasses a diverse range of crops,
including food grains, pulses, oilseeds, fruits, etc. Major staples like rice and wheat are
primarily grown in the northern and southern regions, while pulses are cultivated in various
states.

The monsoon season plays a crucial role in agriculture, with the majority of crops relying
on rainwater for irrigation. However, irrigation practices have improved, with the use of
tube wells and canals, enhancing productivity. India is also known for its cash crops, such
as cotton, tea, etc. which are important for export. Organic farming is gaining momentum
as farmers seek sustainable practices to protect the environment and improve soil health.
Challenges such as climate change, soil degradation affect the agricultural sector.
Government initiatives and support programs aim to improve farmers' livelihoods and
promote sustainable practices. Overall, agriculture remains the backbone of India's rural
economy, fostering food security and contributing to the nation's growth and development.
The future of agriculture in India hinges on innovation, sustainability, and resilience in the
face of challenges.
