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(挤压) the insect until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the insect with a special liquid （液体）. 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 doesnt 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. Lets hope that some of the bigger plants dont get the same idea!_Can plants get energy from the air?_Why is Venus flytrap a famous piant?_In some places, why do some plants get energy from animal meat?_写出（A）处划线单词they所指代的名词。将（B）处划线句子改为两个简单句。Plants are living things. _五、 单词拼写 (共2题；共20分)16. （10分）阅读下面短文，按照句子于结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空Its a Sunday morning.
