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（捕蠅草）.
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 hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, 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 it? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn’t 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!

試題分析：本文介紹了一種能吃動物的捕蠅草，它是一種很奇特的植物，生長在美國的干旱地區(qū)，它的葉子能把蒼蠅卷進去，擠壓致死，然后慢慢地把它吃掉。研究表明，植物吃動物是因為它們需要從動物肉里得到它們所需要的東西。
小題1:細節(jié)理解題。根據短文第一段One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap（捕蠅草）.描述，可知捕蠅草就是一種有名的食肉植物，所以它是一種植物，故選A。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。根據短文第二段 It grows in dry parts of the United States. 描述，可知捕蠅草生長在美國的干旱地區(qū)，故選C。
小題3:細節(jié)理解題。根據短文第一段there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big.And they can eat small animals. 描述，可知一些植物可以吃動物，故選D。
小題4:詞義猜測題。根據短文第二段In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. 描述，可知樹葉擠壓蒼蠅，直到它死掉，所以press應是“擠壓”的意思，并且其他幾個選項的動作不致于讓它死掉，故選A。
