14、ew exhibit at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers,you will have chances to see some meat-eating plants.Take bladderworts,a kind of such plant,for example.They appear so small and grow in a quiet pond.But these are the fastest-known killers of the plant kingdom,able to capture a small insect in

15、 1/50 of a second using a trap door!Once the trap door closes on the victim,the enzymes(酶)similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insect.When dinner is over,the plant opens the trap door and is ready to trap again.Meat-eating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesnt offe

17、ch get their name because they look like beautiful pitchers(a container like a bottle)full of nectar(花蜜).The Asian pitcher plant,for example,has bright colours and an attractive half-closed lid.Curious insects are tempted to come close and take a sip,and then slide down the slippery(光滑的)slope to the

20、 quiet lakeD.digest an insect in 1/50 of a second答案:B解析:细节理解题。第一段指出,bladderworts能在1/50秒的时间内捕获一只小昆虫,是植物中已知的捕获动物速度最快的,因此选B项。2.If the trap door of a meat-eating plant is closed,the plant.A.is fooling insects into taking a sipB.is producing nectarC.is tempting insects to come closeD.is enjoying a dinner

21、答案:D解析:细节理解题。第二段说,一旦“陷阱门”将猎物关起来,类似于人胃里的那些消化酶就开始慢慢地消化它了,由此判断D项正确。3.Meat-eating plants can grow in wet and poor soil because they.A.can get nutrition from animalsB.dont need much food valueC.can make the most of such conditionsD.have developed digestive enzymes答案:A解析:推理判断题。这些植物生长在潮湿贫瘠的土壤中,为获得生长所需的养分,在

25、This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons (神经元)in our brains,and when one tree is destroyed,it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”,usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend.She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the ne
