Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big. And thay can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is Venus Flytrap(捕蝇草).

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， so 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 and slowly eats it.

Why do plants do that? 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 bigger plants don't get the same idea!

Many people think sports are just for winning and honor, but there is a lot more you can gain from (get out of) them. I have learned over the past years that sometimes when I lose, I get a lot more out of it than winning. Also, I find a lot of times in sports, people are getting too caught up in the game instead of just having fun. The real purpose of sports is to have fun and learn life lessons along the way.

I greatly encourage you to be a part of the school sports. Even if you are not the best, you can still have fun. Sports give people a great and healthy way of spending an afternoon, instead of lying around playing video games or even getting into bad things. Sports also give us a sense of achievement. There isn’t a better feeling than to have done something fun and productive for my day.

I think that we all need sports to give us courage. If we try hard in sports, we usually do well. If we did the same in study, we would all be champions. Another reason why I encourage you to play sports is that it’s just fun. Without sports, our lives would just be boring. So as you may be able to tell, sports are amazing!

Our coaches not only teach us to play sports, but show class and good sportsmanship while playing them. It’s never fun when you lose to have the competitor rub it in your face. That’s why our coaches teach us to show class when we lose; also, when coaches get onto you, don’t get down. They only want to see you improve and learn from what they say. When you do badly and they don’t shout loudly is when you should start worrying because they are giving up on you.

Overall, sports are great! They bring out the best and worst of a lot of us. However, we can’ t let sports get too serious to where it brings down all the fun. So to have the most fun in sports, you just need try your best and not worry so much about the winning or losing.

1.The underlined phrase “get onto you” in Paragraph 4 probably means ________.

A. point out your mistakes              B. take up your time

C. worry about your future              D. look into your privacy

2.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Sports bring us great fun only if we have the talent.

B. Sports give us the best way of spending free time.

C. We can get more out of winning than losing.

D. We should take pleasure in doing sports.

3.What is the best title of this passage?

A. Are we too caught up?                    B. To win or to gain?

C. Are sports really great?                 D. For honor or for health?

九年级英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

All our food comes from the soil(土壤). Some of us eat meat, but animals live on plants. If there are no plants, we will have no animals and meat. So the soil is necessary for us to live.

The top of ground is usually covered with grass or other plants. Plants grow in soil, which has a dark color. This dark soil is humus. Dead leaves, dead plants and animals’ waste make it, but this takes a long time. When the humus has been made, plants can grow well in it.

All soil needs food. If we don’t give it any, the plants will be weak. Animals’ waste is the best food for the soil, but chemical fertilizers (化肥) are also very useful. The same crop (庄稼) should not be grown in the same place every year; it is better to have a different crop. A change of crop and the use of a good fertilizer will keep the land in good condition.

When the soil is dry, the wind blows it away. Sometimes heavy rain carries the humus down to a river. People should grow more and more trees and grass to stop wind from carrying the humus (腐殖土壤)away. It takes hundreds of years to make humus, and so we must save every bit of it. Without soil, where can we grow food?

1. From the text, we know people live on ___________.

A. animal B. plant

C. meat　　　 D. soil

2. We should ___________ to keep the soil.

A. give more fertilizers

B. grow a different crop every year

C. make more humus

D. grow more trees and grass

3. We should save every bit of humus, because ___________.

A. it takes a long time to make humus

B. sometimes the wind will blow the dry soil away

C. the chemical fertilizers are expensive

D. animals waste is the best food for the soil

4.From the passage, we know that soil is ___________ to people.

A. not helpful　　　　 　　 B. necessary

C. not important　　　　 D. harmful
