Question

Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big. And they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap.

The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs.  If a fly touches one of the hair, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly.

Why do plants do such things? As we know, most plants get what they need from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It does not have all these important things, especially nitrogen( 氮 ). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need.  Let’s hope that some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea!

試題解析:本文大意：  植物能吃人嗎？也許不會，但有許多吃肉的植物。一種著名的食肉植物是捕蠅草。它是一種非常奇怪的植物，生長在美國的干旱地區(qū)。葉子像書頁，能快速地打開合上。葉子里有一根小毛毛。如果一只蒼蠅碰到一根毛毛，葉子就會壓住蒼蠅直到把它壓死。然后葉子蓋上蒼蠅，慢慢地吃掉蒼蠅。為什么植物這么做呢？就我們所知，多數(shù)植物從太陽、空間和土壤獲得所需。在一些地方，土壤非常貧瘠，確實(shí)沒有這些重要的東西，特別是氮，動(dòng)物肉有許多氮，所以一些植物吃肉獲得它們所需要。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant.捕蠅草是一種非常奇怪的植物，可知答案C

2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. 動(dòng)物肉有許多氮，所以一些植物吃肉獲得它們所需要，可知答案C

3.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)As we know, most plants get what they need from the sun, the air, and the ground.就我們所知，多數(shù)植物從太陽、空間和土壤獲得所需，可知答案D
