阅读以下三篇短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出一个与短文内容相符的最佳选项。
(A)
Venus flytraps are amazing plants that can catch and eat insects. They grow in wet, poor soil in parts of the United States. The plant has special leaves that look like small mouths. Each leaf has tiny hairs on its surface.
When an insect lands on the leaf, the hairs sense it and the leaf closes quickly, like a mouth shutting. The insect can't get out. Then the plant produces a liquid that breaks down the insect into food for the plant. It takes about 10 days for the plant to finish eating the insect, and then the leaf opens again to wait for another insect.
Venus flytraps are not dangerous to humans. Their leaves are too small to hurt us. But these plants are in danger because people collect them from the wild and their natural homes are being destroyed.
1. Where do Venus flytraps grow
A. In dry, rich soil. B. In wet, poor soil.
C. In the desert. D. In the cities.
2. What do the leaves of Venus flytraps look like
A. Small mouths. B. Long sticks.
C. Round flowers. D. Thin hairs.
3. How does a Venus flytrap catch an insect
A. Its leaves close quickly when the insect touches the hairs.
B. It uses its roots to pull the insect into the soil.
C. It produces a smell to attract the insect.
D. It jumps to catch the insect in the air.
4. How long does it take for a Venus flytrap to eat an insect
A. About one day. B. About three days.
C. About ten days. D. About a month.
5. Why are Venus flytraps in danger
A. Because they are eaten by humans.
B. Because they can't find enough insects to eat.
C. Because people collect them and destroy their homes.
D. Because they are killed by other plants.
(B)
Sloths are strange but cute animals that live in the forests of Central and South America. They are known for being very slow. Sloths move so slowly that algae (藻类) grows on their fur, making them look green. This helps them hide from enemies.
Sloths spend almost all their time in trees. They sleep for about 15 to 20 hours a day! When they are awake, they eat leaves, fruit and insects. They don't drink water often—they get most of their water from the leaves they eat.
Sloths are good swimmers. Sometimes they come down from the trees to swim in rivers. They can swim faster than they can walk on land.
Sadly, sloths are in danger because people cut down the forests where they live. Many sloths lose their homes and can't survive.
1. Where do sloths live
A. In the deserts of Africa. B. In the forests of Central and South America.
C. In the mountains of Asia. D. In the oceans of Australia.
2. Why do sloths look green
A. Because they eat green leaves. B. Because they swim in green rivers.
C. Because algae grows on their fur. D. Because they paint themselves green.
3. How long do sloths sleep a day
A. About 5 to 10 hours. B. About 10 to 15 hours.
C. About 15 to 20 hours. D. About 20 to 25 hours.
4. What do sloths get most of their water from
A. Rivers. B. Leaves. C. Fruits. D. Insects.
5. Why are sloths in danger
A. Because they are eaten by other animals.
B. Because people cut down their forest homes.
C. Because they can't swim fast enough.
D. Because they don't have enough food to eat.

七、书面表达(参考范文)
The Venus flytrap is one of the most amazing plants I know. It grows in wet, poor soil in the US. Its leaves look like small green mouths with tiny hairs. When an insect lands on the leaf, the hairs sense it and the leaf closes quickly. The plant then breaks down the insect for food.
Most plants make food from sunlight, but the Venus flytrap catches insects to get nutrients. Sadly, it's now in danger. We should protect it and its natural home to keep this magic plant alive.
