Look at the plant in the picture. It looks beautiful, right? Can you imagine (想象) it kills?
The Venus flytrap is a kindof meat-eating plant. It grows in very few places, like wetlands near the sea in North Carolina in America.
The Venus flytrap is not a large plant. It grows to be only about a foot tall. The plant has white flowers in the spring, but it is the plant’s leaves that make it so interesting. The ends of the leaves have folding parts with stiff, tiny hairs (带小硬刺的可折叠部分). These are the plant’s “traps (捕捉器)”.
What does the Venus flytrap eat? As you might guess, the Venus flytrap eats flies (苍蝇). It also eats spiders, ants and crickets (蟋蟀). The Venus flytrap makes most of its food with sun, air and water, just like other plants. Living things just give it extra nutrition (额外营养) to grow well in wetlands.
How does this plant trap and eat living things? The Venus flytrap uses a sweet liquid (液体) to attract its food. When a fly lands on one of the plant’s open traps, hairs on the surface make the trap close. And when the trap closes, the fly is dinner!
If you want to have your own Venus flytrap at home, you have to buy the plant from a special place. You can’t take a Venus flytrap from where it grows! There are laws about taking it out of the wild.
Where does the Venus flytrap grow?
A.In the wetlands. | B.In the desert. | C.In the rocks. | D.In the sea. |
About the Venus flytrap, which of the following is true?
A.It is a large plant. |
B.It only eats spiders. |
C.It has white flowers. |
D.It can fly in the sky. |
Which is the right order of the following events in Paragraph 5?
a. The trap of the Venus flytrap closes.
b. A fly lands on one of the plant’s open traps.
c. The fly is kept in the trap as the food of the plant.
d. The Venus flytrap uses a sweet liquid to attract its food.
A.d-b-a-c | B.a-b-c-d |
C.b-d-a-c | D.d-b-c-a |
How can people get a Venus flytrap?
A.They can get it from where it grows. |
B.They can buy it from a special place. |
C.They can grow it in their gardens. |
D.They can buy it in a park. |
Why does the Venus flytrap kill?
A.Because it needs extra nutrition. |
B.Because it hates flies. |
C.Because insects are its main food. |
D.Because it kills for fun. |

Different countries and people have different manners(举止).Here are some examples: If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you should not move before the host says “Come in, please.” Before coming into the house in Japan, it is good manners to take off your shoes.

A science book gives facts. Some science books tell us about animals. Some tell us about plants. Some tell us about outer space. This page tells us about animals.
Do you know that not only the fish but also some animals live in the sea? For example, the whale is not a fish. It can't breathe in the water. It swims in the water. But it comes up for air.
The blue whale is the world's biggest animal. There are other sea animals, too. One is called the dolphin. Dolphins need air to live. They breathe air, as whales do. Dolphins are very clever. They sometimes seem to speak to each other.
Many other animals live near the sea. Seals (海豹) and otters(水獭)love the sea. They swim and play there, They eat smaller fish and sea plants. Seals and otters have thick fur. The fur keeps them warm.The passage mainly tells us about _______.
A.fishes | B.plants | C.science | D.sea animals |
Which of the sentences below is NOT true?
A.The whale can swim in the sea like a fish. |

A fish that lives in America can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals got used to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.
The Mangrove Rivulets, a kind of little fish, lives in small pools of water. When their living place dries up, they live on the land, said Scott Taylor, a researcher in Florida.
The fish can grow as large as three inches. They group together and breathe air through their skin before they can find water again.
The new scientific discovery came during a trip.
“We were travelling for fun. and one day I kicked over a log (圆木) and the fish came out.” Taylor told reporters by telephone. He said he would make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year.
In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating.
Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish (肺鱼) found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in a not active (活波的) way. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulets and keep active, according to Patricia Wright, a biologist at a Canadian University.
More studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time.
“These animals live in conditions similar to those millions of years ago, when animals began to move from water onto land.” Wright said.. The Mangrove Rivulets is a type of fish that_________.
A.lives on land in Africa |
B.can stay alive for months out of water |

. Which one of the sentences below is not true?
A.The Mangrove Rivulets fish can live out of water as long as other animals if it has something to eat. |
B.Millions of years ago, animals began to live onto land from water. |
C.Lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water in a not active way. |
D.The walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time. |
