meat-eating plants. take bladderworts, a kind of such plant, for example. they appear so small and grow in a quiet pond. but these are the fastest-known killers of the plant kingdom, able to capture a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap door!once the trap door closes on the victim, the enzymes(酶) similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insect. when dinner is over, the plant opens the trap door and is ready to trap again.meat-eating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesn t offer much food value. in such conditions, these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional needs over thousands of years. north america has more such plants than any other continent.generally speaking, the traps may have attractive appearance to fool

that nothing cab escape, and the digestive enzymes can get to work. a tiny insect can be digested in a few hours, but a fly takes a couple of days.some of these pitchers are large enough to hold two gallons. meateating plants only eat people in science fiction movies, but sometimes a bird or other small animals will discover that a pitcher plant isn t a good place to get a drink.语篇解读本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一些特别的植物靠捕食动物获得生长所需养分的“食肉植物”。1from the first paragraph, we can know that bladderworts can _.a. capture 50 small insects in a secondb. capture an insect in the shortest timec. be
