26、ke food. What makes “meat-eating” plants different is their bug-catching leaves. They need insects for one reason: nitrogen. Nitrogen is a nutrient that they cant obtain any other way. While almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil, “meat-eating” plants cant. They live in pla

27、ces where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity. So theyve come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals. In fact, nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to “meat-eating” plants. Never fertilize them! But dont worry, either, if they never seem

31、C 6. D 7. B【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章以捕蝇草为例主要介绍了食肉植物的生长地方、捕食猎物的方式以及它们捕捉昆虫的原因。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中的最后一句“In fact, theyre found on every continent except Antarctica.”可知，除了南极洲，其他大陆都有食肉植物的踪影。故选D项。【5题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At the end of its stalks (茎) are specially modified leaves that act like traps. Inside each trap i

32、s a lining of tiny trigger hairs. When an insect lands on them, the trap suddenly shuts. ”可知，捕蝇草茎的末端是经过特殊改造的类似陷阱一样的叶子，每个陷阱里都有一个小小的刺针。当昆虫落在它们身上时，陷阱突然关闭。由此可知，捕蝇草捕食昆虫是用了专门捕虫的叶子。故选C项。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中的最后一句“Note: Despite any science-fiction stories you might have read, no meat-eating plant does any dang

33、er to humans.”可知，但食肉植物对人类是没有任何伤害的。由此可推知，食肉植物对人类是无害的。故选D项。【7题详解】细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In fact, nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to “meat-eating” plants. Never fertilize them! But dont worry, either, if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive, but theyll grow very slowly.”可知，营养丰富的土壤对食肉植物是有毒的。永远

34、不要给它们施肥！但如果它们不能抓到昆虫的话也别担心。它们是能活下来的，只不过生长的很慢。由此可知，食肉植物可以在贫瘠的土壤中生长。故选B项。CWhen my mother died a few years ago，we looked through boxes in which she had lovingly stored her childrens lives.

43、ecting.【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了随着社会的发展，现在越来越多的人使用电子产品来代替传统的物品来保存记忆，这让作者开始担忧起来。【8题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段“When my mother died a few years ago，we looked through boxes in which she had lovingly stored her childrens lives.（几年前，当我母亲去世时，我们翻看了她用爱心储存孩子们生活的盒子。）；第二段“After my fathers death，I found

45、ry that for them.（我的孩子，现在20多岁，大部分都有电子纪念品。他们越来越依赖Facebook来存储记忆。他们通过电子邮件寄来的大学来信早已不见了。许多从未印刷的照片消失了。我真的为他们担心。）可推知，实物不是记忆的载体了。故选C。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Despite the gradual disappearance of photographs，letters and other objects that are reminders of people and past experiences，their keeping is like holding on

46、 to those people and experiences. ”Digital items offer nothing of the kind.（尽管照片、信件和其他能提醒人们和过去经历的物品逐渐消失，但保留它们就像是紧紧抓住那些人和经历。而数码产品则没有这种功能。）”可知，Andrew Hoskins认为电子产品不能像具体的物体那样储存记忆，所以他反对用电子产品储存记忆。故选A。【10题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Mark B. McKinley explained that collecting physical memorabilia(值得纪念的事物)can serve as

47、 a means of control to bring out a comfort zone in ones life，calming fears and easing worries.（Mark B. McKinley解释说，收集实物纪念品可以作为一种控制手段，在一个人的生活中带来一个舒适区，平静恐惧和缓解担忧。）”可知，收集实物纪念品带给孩子们可以让孩子们感到放松。故选B。【11题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“But will his mom print out a photo of that unique collection? Will his degree in geology be memorialized on paper，or will he be given a digital diploma? And will he collect his first paycheck or will he be paid by direct deposit?（但是他的妈妈会打印出一张独一无二的照片吗?他在地质学上的学位会被记录在纸上，还是会被授予一个数字文凭?他会收到他的第一笔薪水还是直接存入?）”可知，此处这三个问题与本段前两句对应，作者连续提出这三个问题来表示她
