以下是一篇适合初中语文阅读理解的材料，供学生练习和教师参考。
在遥远的古代，有一个美丽的村庄，那里的人们过着和谐而平静的生活。
村庄的四周被茂密的森林环绕，一条清澈的小溪穿村而过，溪水潺潺，给村庄带来了无限的生机。
村庄里住着一位智慧的老者，他的名字叫做李明。
李明老者不仅知识渊博，而且心地善良，深受村民们的尊敬和爱戴。
他常常在村口的大树下，给孩子们讲述古老的故事，传授人生的智慧。
有一天，李明老者在树下讲了一个关于勇气和智慧的故事。
故事中的主角是一个勇敢的少年，他在一次冒险中遇到了一只凶猛的野兽。
面对危险，少年没有退缩，而是运用智慧，巧妙地避开了野兽的攻击，并最终将其制服。
故事讲完后，孩子们都听得入迷，他们被少年的勇敢和智慧深深打动。
李明老者看着孩子们渴望的眼神，微笑着说：“孩子们，记住，无论遇到什么困难，只要我们有勇气和智慧，就没有什么是不可能的。
”从那以后，孩子们在李明老者的引导下，开始学习各种知识，锻炼自己的意志和智慧。
他们不再害怕困难，而是勇敢地面对挑战，用智慧去解决问题。
随着时间的流逝，村庄里的孩子们渐渐长大，他们中的许多人成为了村庄的骄傲。
他们中有的成为了优秀的学者，有的成为了勇敢的战士，还有的成为了智慧的领导者。
而这一切，都离不开李明老者的教诲和引导。
这个故事告诉我们，勇气和智慧是人生中最宝贵的财富。
它们可以帮助我们克服困难，实现梦想。
正如李明老者所说：“勇气和智慧，是通往成功的钥匙。
”这篇材料通过讲述一个简单的故事，向学生传达了勇气和智慧的重要性。
在阅读理解的过程中，学生可以通过分析故事的情节、角色和主题，来加深对文本的理解，并从中学习到面对困难时应有的态度和解决问题的方法。

阅读材料一：数字游戏产生“黑洞数”黑洞数又称陷阱数，是类具有奇特转换特性的整数。
有一种数字游戏，可以产生“黑洞数”，操作步骤如下：第一步，任意写出一个自然数（以下称为原数）；第二步，再写一个新的三位数，它的百位数字是原数中偶数数字的个数，十位数字是原数中奇数数字的个数，个位数字是原数的位数；以下每一步，都对上一步得到的数，按照第二步的规则继续操作，直至这个数不再变化为止。
不管你开始写的是一个什么数，几步之后变成的自然数总是相同的。
最后这个相同的数就叫它为黑洞数。
在数学中由有很多有趣，有意义的规律等待我们去探索和研究，让我们在数学中得到更多的乐趣。
阅读材料二：奇妙的6174苏联的科普作家高基莫夫在他的著作《数学的敏感》一书中，提到了一个奇妙的四位数6174，并把它列作“没有揭开的秘密”。
不过，近年来，由于数学爱好者的努力，已经开始拨开迷雾。
6174有什么奇妙之处？请随便写出一个四位数，这个数的四个数字有相同的也不要紧，但这四个数不准完全相同，例如3333、7777等都应该排除。
写出四位数后，把数中的各位数字按大到小的顺序和小到大的顺序重新排列，将得到由这四个数字组成的四位数中的最大者和最小者，两者相减，就得到另一个四位数。
将组成这个四位数的四个数字施行同样的变换，又得到一个最大的数和最小的数，两者相减……这样循环下去，一定在经过若干次（最多7次）变换之后，得到6174。
例如，开始时我们取数8208，重新排列后最大数为8820，最小数为0288，8820—0288＝8532；对8532重复以上过程：8532－2358=6174。
这里，经过两步变换就掉入6174这个“陷阱”。
需要略加说明的是：以0开头的数，例如0288也得看成一个四位数。
再如，我们开始取数2187，按要求进行变换：2187 → 8721－1278＝7443→7443－3447＝3996→9963－3699=6264→6642－2466＝4176→7641－1467＝6174。

Section A2. Section B3. Section C4. Section D5. Section E6. Section F7. Section GUnderstanding Bee BehaviourAA bee’s brain is the size of a grass seed, yet in this tiny brain are encoded some of the most complex and amazing behavioural patterns witnessed outside humankind. For bees are arguably the only animals apart from humans which have their own language. Earlier this century Karl V on Frisch, a professor of Zoology at Munich University, spent decades of “the purest joy of discovery” unraveling the mysteries of bee behaviour. For his astonishing achievements he was awarded the Nobel Prize and it is from His work that most of today’s knowledge of what bees say to each other derives.B.It started simply enough. Von Frisch knew from experiments by an earlier researcher that if he put out a bowl of sweet sugar syrup, bees might at first take some time to find it but, once they had done so, within the hour, hundreds of other bees would be eagerly taking the syrup. Von Frisch realized that, in some way, messages were being passed on back at the hive, messages which said, ‘out there, at this spot, you’re going to find food.’CBut how was it happening? To watch the bees, V on Frisch constructed a glass-sided hive. He found that, once the scout bees arrived back at the hive, they would perform one of three dance types. In the first type, a returning scout scampered in circles, alternating to right and left, stopping occasionally to regurgitate food samples to the excited bees chasing after her. In the second dance, clearly and extended version of this round dance, she performed a sickle-shaped figure-of-eight pattern instead. In the third, distinctly different dance, she started by running a short distance in a straight line, waggling her body from side to side, and returning in a semi-circle to the starting point before repeating the process. She also stopped from time to time to give little bits of food to begging bees. Soon the others would excitedly leave the hive in search of food. Minutes later, many of them, marked by V on Frisch, could be seen eating at the bowls of sugar syrup.DExperimenting further, V on Frisch unraveled the mystery of the first two related types, the roundand the sickle dances. These dances, he concluded, told the bees simply that, within quite short distances of the hive there was a food source worth chasing. The longer and more excitedly the scout danced, the richer the promise of the food source. The scent she carried in her samples and on her body was a message to the other bees that this particular food was the one they were looking for. The others would then troop out of the hive and fly in spiraling circles ‘sniffing’ in the wind for the promised food.EAt first, Von Frisch thought the bees were responding only to the scent of the food. But what did the third dance mean? And If bees were responding only to the scent, how could they also ‘sniff down’ food hundreds of metres away from the hive, food which was sometimes downwind? On a hunch, he started gradually moving the feeding dish further and further away and noticed as he did so, that the dances of the returning scout bees also started changing. If he placed the feeding dish over nine metres away, the second type of dance, the sickle version, came into play. But once he moved it past 36 metres, the scouts would then start dancing the third, quite different, waggle dance.The measurement of the actual distance too, he concluded, was precise. For example, a deeding dish 300 metres away was indicated by 15 complete runs through the pattern in 30 seconds. When the dish was moved to 60 metres away, the number dropped to 11.FV on Frisch noted something further. When the scout bees came home to tell their sisters about the food source, sometimes they would dance outside on the horizontal entrance platform of the hive, and sometimes on the vertical wall inside. And, depending on where they danced, the straight portion of the waggle dance would point in different directions. The outside dance was fairly easy to decode: the straight portion of the dance pointed directly to the food source, so the bees would merely have to decode the distance message and fly off in that direction to find their food.GBut studying the dance on the inner wall of the hive, V on Frisch discovered a remarkable method which the dancer used to tell her sisters the direction of the food in relation to the sun. When inside the hive, the dancer cannot use the sun, so she uses gravity instead. The direction of the sun is represented by the top of the hive wall. If she runs straight up, this means that the feeding place is in the same direction as the sun. However, if, for example, the feeding place is 40° to the left of the sun, then the dancer would run 40° to the left of the vertical line. This was to be the first of von Frisch’s remarkable discoveries. Soon he would also discover a number of other remarkable discoveries. Soon he would also discover a number of other remarkable facts about how bees communicate and, in doing so, revolutionize the study of animal behaviour.Answer Keys:1. Section A VI2. Section B IV3.

Paragraph DPEOPLE AND ORGANISATIONS: THE SELECTION ISSUEA In 1991, according to the Department of Trade and Industry, a record 48,000 British companies went out of business. When businesses fail, the post-mortem analysis is traditionally undertaken by accountants and market strategists. Unarguably organisations do fail because of undercapitalisation, poor financial management, adverse market conditions etc. Yet, conversely, organisations with sound financial backing, good product ideas and market acumen often underperform and fail to meet shareholders' expectations. The complexity, degree and sustainment of organisational performance requires an explanation which goes beyond the balance sheet and the "paper conversion" of financial inputs into profit making outputs. A more complete explanation of "what went wrong" necessarily must consider the essence of what an organisation actually is and that one of the financial inputs, the most important and often the most expensive, is people.B An organisation is only as good as the people it employs. Selecting the right person for the job involves more than identifying the essential or desirable range of skills, educational and professional qualifications necessary to perform the job and then recruiting the candidate who is most likely to possess these skills or at least is perceived to have the ability and predisposition to acquire them. This is a purely person/skills match approach to selection.C Work invariably takes place in the presence and/or under the direction of others, in a particular organisational setting. The individual has to "fit" in with the work environment, with other employees, with the organisational climate, style or work, organisation and culture of the organisation. Different organisations have different cultures (Cartwright & Cooper, 1991; 1992). Working as an engineer at British Aerospace will not necessarily be a similar experience to working in the same capacity at GEC or Plessey.D Poor selection decisions are expensive. For example, the costs of training a policeman areabout £ 20,000 (approx. US$ 30,000). The costs of employing an unsuitable technician on an oil rig or in a nuclear plant could, in an emergency, result in millions of pounds of damage or loss of life. The disharmony of a poor person-environment fit (PE-fit) is likely to result in low job satisfaction, lack of organisational commitment and employee stress, which affect organisational outcomes i.e. productivity, high labour turnover and absenteeism, and individual outcomes i.e. physical, psychological and mental well-being.E However, despite the importance of the recruitment decision and the range of sophisticated and more objective selection techniques available, including the use of psychometric tests, assessment centres etc., many organisations are still prepared to make this decision on the basis of a single 30 to 45 minute unstructured interview. Indeed, research has demonstrated that a selection decision is often made within the first four minutes of the interview. In the remaining time, the interviewer then attends exclusively to information that reinforces the initial "accept" or "reject" decision. Research into the validity of selection methods has consistently demonstrated that the unstructured interview, where the interviewer asks any questions he or she likes, is a poor predictor of future job performance and fares little better that more controversial methods like graphology and astrology. In times of high unemployment,! recruitment becomes a "buyer's market" and this was the case in Britain during the 1980s.F The future, we are told, is likely to be different. Detailed surveys of social and economic trends in the European community show that Europe's population is falling and getting older, The birth rate in the Community is now only three-quarters of the level needed to ensure replacement of the existing population. By the year 2020, it is predicted that more than one in four Europeans will be aged 60 or more and barely one in five will be under 20. In a five-year period between 1983 and 1988 the Community's female workforce grew by almost six million. As a result, 51% of all women aged 14 to 64 are now economically active in the labour market compared with 78% of men.G The changing demographics will not only affect selection ratios. They will also make it increasingly important for organisations wishing to mainta in their competitive edge to be more responsive and accommodating to the changing needs of their workforce if they are to retain and develop their human resources. More flexible working hours, the opportunity of work from home or job share, the provision of childcare facilities etc., will play a major role in attracting and retaining staff in the future.Questions 6-11Do the following statements agree with the views of the writer in Reading Passage 2In boxes 17-22 on your answer sheet writeYES if the statement agrees with the writerNO if the statement does not agree with the writerNOT GIVEN if there is no information about this in the passage6.

YESSummary 补充练习Exercise AA commonly drawn distinction is between pre-history, i.e. the period before written record s- and history in the narrow sense, meaning the study of the past using written evidence. To archaeology, which studies all cultures and periods, whether with or without writing, the distinction between history and pre-history is a convenient dividing line that recognizes the importance of the written word, but in no way lessens the importance of the useful information contained in oral histories.Since the aim of archaeology is the understanding of humankind, it is a humanistic study, and since it deals with the human past, it is a historical discipline. But if differs from the study of written history in a fundamental way. The material the archaeologist finds does not tell us directly what to think. Historical records make statements, offer opinions and pass judgements. The objects the archaeologists discover, on the other hand, tell us nothing directly in themselves. In this respect, the practice of the archaeologist is rather like that of the scientist, who collects data, conducts experiments, formulates a hypothesis, tests the hypothesis against more data, and then, in conclusion, devises a model that seems best to summarise the pattern observed in the data. The archaeologist has to develop a picture of the past, just as the scientist has to develop a coherent view of the natural world.Complete the summary of the two paragraphs. Choose NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the passage for each answer.Much of the work of archaeologists can be done using written records but they find ___1_____ equally valuable. The writer describes archaeology as both a __2____ and a ___3_____. However, as archaeologists do not try to influence human behaviour, the writer compares their style of working to that of a ___4____.Exercise BA representative sample of language, compiled for the purpose of linguistic analysis, is known as a corpus. A corpus enables the linguist to make unbiased statements about frequency of usage, and it provides accessible data for the use of different researchers. Its range and size are variable. Some corpora attempt to cover the language as a whole, taking extracts from many kinds of text; others are extremely selective, providing a collection of material that deals only with a particular linguistic feature. The size of the corpus depends on practical factors, such as the time available to collect, process and store the data: it can take up to several hours to provide an accurate transcription of a few minutes of speech. Sometimes a small sample of data will be enough to decide a linguistic hypothesis; by contrast, corpora in major research projects can total millions of words. An important principle is that all corpora, whatever their size, are inevitably limited in their coverage, and always need to be supplemented by data derived from the intuitions of nativespeakers of the language, through either introspection or experimentation.Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the paragraphA linguist can use a corpus to comment objectively on ___5_____. Some corpora include a wide range of language while others are used to focus on a ___6____. The length of time the process takes will affect the ___7____ of the corpus. No corpus can ever cover the whole language and so linguists often find themselves relying on the additional information that can be gained from the ___8____ of those who speak the language concerned.Exercise CWe have found that the blind understand other kinds of visual metaphors as well. One blind woman drew a picture of a child inside a heart- choosing that symbol, she said, to show that love surrounded the child. With Chang Hong Liu, a doctoral student from China, I have begun exploring how well blind people understand the symbolism behind shapes such as hearts that do not directly represent their meaning.We gave a list of twenty pairs of words to sighted subjects and asked them to pick from each pair the term that best related to a circle and the term that best related to a square. For example, we asked: What goes with soft? A circle or a square? Which shape goes with hard?All our subjects deemed the circle soft and the square hard. A full 94% ascribed happy to the circle, instead of sad. But other pairs revealed less agreement: 79% matched fast to slow and weak to strong, respectively. And only 51% linked deep to circle and shallow to square. When we tested four totally blind volunteers using the same list, we found that their choices closely resembled those made by the sighted subjects. One man, who had been blind since birth, scored extremely well. He made only one match differing from the consensus, assigning ‘far’ to square and ‘near’ to circle. In fact, only a small majority of sighted subjects-53%- had paired far and near to the opposite partners. Thus, we concluded that the blind interpret abstract shapes as sighted people do. Complete the summary below using words from the box.NB Y ou may use any word more than once.A set of word __9___ was used to investigate whether blind and sighted people perceived the symbolism in abstract __10___ in the same way.

But of course far fewer of them apply for these positions. The study, by recruitment consultants NB Selection shows that while one in six men who appear on interview shortlists get jobs, the figure rises to one in four for women.B The study concentrated on applications for management positions in the $ 45,000 to $110,000 salary range and found that women are more successful than men in both the private and public sectors. Dr Elisabeth Marx from London-based NB Selection described the findings as encouraging for women , in that they send a positive message to them to apply for interesting management positions. But she added, “We should not lose sight of the fact that significantly fewer women apply for senior positions in comparison with men.”C Reasons for higher success rates among women are difficult to isolate. One explanation suggested is that if a woman candidate manages to get on a shortlist, then she has probably already proved herself to be an exceptional candidate. Dr Marx said that when women apply for positions they tend to be better qualified than their male counterparts but are more selective and conservative in their job search. Women tend to research thoroughly before applying for positions or attending interviews. Men, on the other hand, seem to rely on their ability to sell themselves and to convince employers that any shortcomings they have will not prevent them from doing a good job.D Managerial and executive progress made by women is confirmed by the annual survey of boards of directors carried out by Korn/Ferry/Carre/Orban International. This year the survey shows a doubling of the number of women serving as non-executive directors compared with the previous year. However, progress remains painfully slow and there were still only 18 posts filled by women out of a total of 354 non-executive positions surveyed. Hilary Sears, a partner with Korn/Ferry, said , “Women have raised the level of grades we are employed in but we have still not broken through barriers to the top.”E In Europe a recent feature of corporate life in the recession has been the de-layering of management structures. Sears said that this had halted progress for women in as much as de-layering has taken place either where women are working or in layers they aspire to. Sears also noted a positive trend from the recession, which has been the growing number of women who have started up on their own.F in business as a whole, there are a number of factors encouraging the prospect of greater equality in the workforce. Demographic trends suggest that the number of women going into employment is steadily increasing. In addition a far greater number of women are now passing through higher education, making them better qualified to move into management positions.G Organisation such as the European Women’s Mangement development Network provide a range of opportunities for women to enhance their skills and contacts.

One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will changes the natural places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless parents get working on child’s play.Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was broken down. And kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural places. “If the decline（下降）in parks use continues across North America, who will protect parks from encroachment (蚕食)?” asks Richard Louv, writer of Last Child in the Woods.Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge development of their lives. That helps them in everything. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents–and they say no outside play is surely part of it. Research suggests that kids do better in schools with a nature sense and that play in nature brings up leadership by the smartest, not by the hardest. Even a small outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three–year–old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A tree on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.Kids are not to blame（该受责备）. They are over-protected and frightened.They are always told it’s dangerous outdoors. But in fact the stress（压力）from computers is taking the place of breaking an arm, which is certain to be a part of a child’s outdoor play.Everyone should help our kids get more freedom and joy from nature, taking friendship in fields and woods that buildup love, respect and need for our nature. As parents, we should spend some time taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.58. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that __________.A. parks are in danger of being encroachedB. kids are missing the sense of wonder outdoorsC. Richard Louv is the writer of Last Child in the WoodsD. children are expected to develop into protectors of nature59. According to the writer, children’s “breaking an arm” is ___________.A. the problem on the part of their parentsB. the natural experience in their growing upC. the result of their own carelessness in playD. the effect of the stress from computers60. The writer writes this passage to ________.A. blame children for getting lost in computer gamesB. encourage children to protect parks from encroachmentC. show his cares about children’s less experience in natureD. help children keep the sense of wonder about things aroundDo you know someone who has never been troubled by tests? Yeah, some people are lucky like that. But for most of us, taking tests can cause a lot of icky (讨厌的) feelings and sensations, such as: trouble concentrating; low self-confident; being nervous or anxious; feeling depressed or down on yourself; stomach problems ---- like nausea(反胃), indigestion, diarrheas etc; racing heartbeat or trouble breathing; trouble sleeping; sweaty or cold hands.Spend a moment thinking about a test you have to take. Does it bring on any of these feelings? If so, that might mean you're having some trouble dealing with the stress of the test.Now that we know what stress feels like, let's talk about where test stress comes from. Here are a few of the biggest causes of test stress:●Pressure from yourself.It's important to do your best and study hard, but if youfeel like you just can't stop pushing yourself to prepare or that you won't be happywith anything but a high grade, that pressure can't be hard to handle or deal with.●Pressure from parents and teachers. Most parents want to see great report cards,and they can start pushing when test time comes around. For teachers, many schoolswant to show high test grades from their students. So they have high expectations orwishes for the teachers, who then have high expectations for the students!●Competition with friends. You love your best friends, but she's always asking youhow you did on the test you both just took. This is normal, but can add to some of thepressure you're already feeling.●Past experience. If you had a bad time with a test in the past, or if you've donepoorly on one or more tests, you could feel anxious about the next one.●Negative thinking.If you're sure or convinced you're going to fail, or you keepbeating yourself up with thoughts like "I'm not smart enough" or "I never do well,"this can add a lot of stress.●Rumor.Sometimes, other students can spread rumors about a test. Rumors like"That teacher's tests are totally impossible to pass!" can make you a lot more nervous.……57. What's the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How we find someone who has never been troubled by tests.B. Tests may cause the changes of feelings for most of us.C. Some people will have trouble in dealing with the stress of tests.D. Talking about the causes and original feelings of test stress.58. What's the probable title according to the passage?A. Pressure from OneselfB. Pressure from Parents and TeachersC. Where Test Stress Comes fromD. Negative and Positive Thinking59. The direct reason why you feel anxious about tests is that ________.A. you are always expecting to take the first place in testsB. you are not sure of your study ability and skillsC. it was just rumor that led to your anxietyD. you didn't do well in the past one or more tests60. What can you infer the next section or paragraphs(……) will mainly talk about?A. How to manage to remove and get rid of stress.B. How to prevent pressure from parents or teachers.C. How to compete with your best friends properly.D. How to use rumor not to suffer from test stress.BCDAIf you ask a teacher in China what makes a good student, he or she would probably tell you that a good student is someone who gets high marks in exams.It is true that most teachers share this opinion. 61. __________ She says that as an educator, she feels sorry about what her students have to do every day. She hates to see her students study day and night for the endless exams. These teenagers have no time to relax or hang around with their friends. They shouldn’t be turned into bookworms（书呆子）. 62. __________Shen Hong thinks a good student should be like this:A good student is honest and kind to others. 63. __________ If he does something wrong, he says sorry immediately. Apart from this, a good student is always ready to help his friends when they are in trouble.A good student is one who always tries his best in studies. He makes full use of his time to learn both in and out of class. Hard work comes first no matter how clever he is. 64. __________ He often plays ball games or goes camping with his friends. In a word, he develops in an all-round way.BCAESomething very strange happened to Lisa.
