There are many kinds of music in the world, such as pop music, classical music and folk music. Do you know country music? It’s a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America.

It was the folk music of American countryside. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops or death.

In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records.
When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America.

Do you know 5G? It is the fifth generation (代) of mobile network technology. These new networks are coming.
China just issued commercial licenses (发放商用牌照) for 5G on June 6, 2019. This means that China’s telecom companies will be able to offer 5G networks to mobile phone users.
Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data (数据) and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G?
5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds (毫秒) to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less — this is almost real-time.
This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster, but also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.
5G+ entertainment (娱乐)
5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G.
Also, virtual reality (VR) games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.
5G+ transport
5G will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals (信号) to each other. They also talk to traffic lights and road sensors (传感器).5G will allow cars to react (反应) even faster than human drivers.
5G+ smart homes
5G also makes the Internet of things possible. Internet of things is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it.
For example, your toaster can automatically (自动地) start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler (洒水器) could water your plants by itself.
6. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the third paragraph?
A. To explain 5G is the best of all.
B. To share his knowledge about 5G.
C. To show the development of mobile network technology.
7. What does the underlined word “delay” in paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
A. 卡顿 B. 延时 C. 暂停
8. Which of the following ways is not mentioned that 5G will change people’s lives?
A. Health care. B. Entertainment. C. Transport.
9. What will people do possibly with 5G according to the passage?
A. Download a movie in minutes.
B. Put everything onto the Internet.
C. Make self-driving cars safer.
10. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. 5G will change our lives in many ways.
B. Mobile networks are changing for better.
C. 5G will make the Internet of things possible.

Are you worried about the mental health of a child you know? Or are you a kid looking for help?
Having good mental health is the key to the healthy development of every child. Kids need good mental health—not only to be able to deal with challenges, but also to feel good about themselves, build healthy relationships with others and enjoy life.
A kid’s mental health can be influenced by many things, like school life and life events. While children can experience mental health issues (问题) at any age, they are most at risk between the ages of 12 and 16.
Everyone feels sad, angry or upset sometimes, including children. But if a kid feels like this most of the time, it’s a sign that they may need help. Other signs include difficulty coping, getting on with others or staying interested in activities.

relationship problems
eating issues
bullying (欺凌)
feeling sad
worry
self-harm
About 1 in 7 children aged 4 to 17 have recently experienced a mental health disorder in Australia. If you think your child has a mental health issue, it’s necessary to reach out for professional help.
There are plenty of things that can be done to improve mental health and help prevent mental health issues from developing. For example, getting enough sleep, eating well and doing regular physical activities are as important to children as they are to adults.
Long-lasting and safe relationship, such as with the child’s family, is considered the most influential factor (因素) in a child’s life.
As a parent, there are some simple steps you can take to support your child’s mental health. These are things like taking an active interest in your child, encouraging them to talk about what’s happening in their life. If you are concerned, get support from your doctor or other health or mental health professionals.

【34题详解】
句意:这场徒步旅行本应在9点开始,所以我们有点生气,正打算放弃的时候,导游终于迟到30分钟露面了。结合“The tour…(suppose) to start at 9 o'clock”可知,固定搭配be supposed to do sth表示“按计划、规定应该做某事”,此处描述过去发生的动作,时态为一般过去时,主语“The tour”为单数,故be动词用was。
【35题详解】

【39题详解】
句意:虽然我们只有大约十个人,但我很难听清她说话,因为她似乎只对着离她更近的三四个人讲解。结合“found it hard…(hear) her”可知,此处为固定结构“find it+形容词+to do sth”,其中it作形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的不定式短语,应用to hear。
【40题详解】
句意:最后,在一座漂亮的古老教堂的参观行程被意外取消后,我决定忘掉这10美元,靠自己的地图和智慧游览,来一场更个性化的城镇游览。主语“a visit”与cancel之间为被动关系,表示“参观行程被取消”,结合“decided”以及语境可知,本句时态为一般过去时,其被动语态结构为was/were+动词的过去分词,主语“a visit”为单数,be动词用was,cancel的过去分词为cancelled。
【41题详解】

Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of Lee MinHo on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?
Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and then made from silk, cotton, bamboo; since the 19th century paper has been made from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare (稀有的). And because there weren’t many books, few people learned to read.

2025-2026学年九年级英语期中试题
一、阅读理解 (本大题共20小题,每小题1分,共20分)
A
There are many kinds of music in the world, such as pop music, classical music and folk music. Do you know country music? It’s a traditional kind of music from the southern states of America. I like it very much! It will take me away for a while when I am tired. The guitars and songs will take me to mountains and fields.
Country music usually talks of everyday life and feelings. It’s like the spirit of America, easy to understand, slow and simple. Country music developed in the southern United States. It was the folk music of American countryside. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love, crops or death. The life of the countryside can be hard, so the words in country music are often sad. At first, people played the music only at family parties. But it became more popular later. In the 1920s, people played country songs on the radio, and they made them into records.
When people in the countryside moved to towns and cities to look for work, they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America.

Do you know 5G? It is the fifth generation (代) of mobile network technology. These new networks are coming.
China just issued commercial licenses (发放商用牌照) for 5G on June 6, 2019. This means that China’s telecom companies will be able to offer 5G networks to mobile phone users.
Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data (数据) and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G?
5G has a very short delay between sending and receiving information. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds (毫秒) to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less — this is almost real-time.
This big change will not only make our mobile Internet faster, but also deeply change our lives. Read on to find out how.
5G+ entertainment (娱乐)
5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G.
Also, virtual reality (VR) games will become more popular with 5G. The short delay of 5G will make the games feel even more real.
5G+ transport
5G will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals (信号) to each other. They also talk to traffic lights and road sensors (传感器).5G will allow cars to react (反应) even faster than human drivers.
5G+ smart homes
5G also makes the Internet of things possible. Internet of things is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it.
For example, your toaster can automatically (自动地) start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor feels the air becoming dry, a smart sprinkler (洒水器) could water your plants by itself.
6. What’s the writer’s purpose in writing the third paragraph?
A. To explain 5G is the best of all.
B. To share his knowledge about 5G.
C. To show the development of mobile network technology.
7. What does the underlined word “delay” in paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?
A. 卡顿 B. 延时 C. 暂停
8. Which of the following ways is not mentioned that 5G will change people’s lives?
A. Health care. B. Entertainment. C. Transport.
9. What will people do possibly with 5G according to the passage?
A. Download a movie in minutes.
B. Put everything onto the Internet.
C. Make self-driving cars safer.
10. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. 5G will change our lives in many ways.
B. Mobile networks are changing for better.
C. 5G will make the Internet of things possible.
C
Are you worried about the mental health of a child you know? Or are you a kid looking for help?
Having good mental health is the key to the healthy development of every child. Kids need good mental health—not only to be able to deal with challenges, but also to feel good about themselves, build healthy relationships with others and enjoy life.
A kid’s mental health can be influenced by many things, like school life and life events. While children can experience mental health issues (问题) at any age, they are most at risk between the ages of 12 and 16.
Everyone feels sad, angry or upset sometimes, including children. But if a kid feels like this most of the time, it’s a sign that they may need help. Other signs include difficulty coping, getting on with others or staying interested in activities.
Some of the common mental health-related issues they experience include:
relationship problems
eating issues
bullying (欺凌)
feeling sad
worry
self-harm
About 1 in 7 children aged 4 to 17 have recently experienced a mental health disorder in Australia. If you think your child has a mental health issue, it’s necessary to reach out for professional help.
There are plenty of things that can be done to improve mental health and help prevent mental health issues from developing. For example, getting enough sleep, eating well and doing regular physical activities are as important to children as they are to adults.
Long-lasting and safe relationship, such as with the child’s family, is considered the most influential factor (因素) in a child’s life.
As a parent, there are some simple steps you can take to support your child’s mental health. These are things like taking an active interest in your child, encouraging them to talk about what’s happening in their life. If you are concerned, get support from your doctor or other health or mental health professionals.
11. What is the writer’s purpose in Paragraph 2?
A. To give facts about kids’ mental health.
B. To show why kids’ mental health is important.
C. To tell us how to feel good about ourselves.
12. According to the passage, which of the following is a kid’s mental health issue?
A. Feeling sad, angry or worried sometimes.
B. Showing great interest in activities.
C. Doing harm to himself or herself.
13. In what way does the writer tell us how we can improve kids’ mental health?
A. By using numbers. B. By listing some reasons. C. By giving examples.
14. The underlined word “concerned” in the passage means “________”.
A. worried B. surprised C. satisfied

Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters with photos of Lee MinHo on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing?
Paper was first created about 2,000 years ago, and then made from silk, cotton, bamboo; since the 19th century paper has been made from wood. People learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, books could only be produced one at a time by hand. As a result, they were expensive and rare (稀有的). And because there weren’t many books, few people learned to read.
Then printing was invented in China. With the development of printing, books could be produced more quickly and cheaply. As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly.
Today information can be received online, downloaded from the Internet rather than found in books. And information can be kept on CD-ROMs or machines such as iPads.
Computers are already used in classrooms, and newspapers and magazines can already be read online. So will books be replaced (替代) by computers one day? No, I don’t think the Lee MinHo poster on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer two meters high!
