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. (A) They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If an insect touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The insect cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the insect until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the insect with a special liquid (液體). Slowly, the plant eats the insect.

(B) Plants are living things that have leaves and roots and grow in earth. Most of them get energy from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all the important things that plants need, 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!

1.__ Can plants get energy from the air?

2.__Why is Venus flytrap a famous plant?

3.__In some places, why do some plants get energy from animal meat?

4.__ 寫出(A)處劃線單詞they所指代的名詞。

【解析】

試題分析:本文敘述了大多數(shù)植物都能從太陽、空氣和土壤里得到能量,而有一種吃肉的植物,這很特殊,本文介紹了吃肉的經(jīng)過。

1.根據(jù)文章中Most of them get energy from the sun, the air, and the ground.大多數(shù)植物都能從太陽、空氣和土壤里得到能量。所以此題答案是肯定的。

2.根據(jù)第二段內容可知Venus flytrap這種植物很出名是因為它是一種吃肉的植物,這很特殊。

3.根據(jù)文章中In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t have all the important things that plants need, especially nitrogen (氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need.在一些土壤貧瘠的地方,它沒有植物所需要的一些重要的東西,尤其是氮。動物的肉富含氮,所以一些植物吃肉是因為它們想要得到它們所需要的東西。

4.根據(jù)文章中Its leaves are like the pages of a book. (A) They can open and close very quickly.它的葉子有一頁書那么大,它們能快速的打開和關閉。此處they 指的就是這種植物的葉子。

5.原句是一個含有定語從句的復合句,我們可以把這個復合句拆開成兩個簡單句。定語從句的引導詞that 改為主語they,代指植物。
