We all know that plants are delicious food for insects(昆虫). But some plants are able to develop ways to protect themselves from insects.
Some plants have physical features(特点) that stop insects from landing on them. For example, the passion plant’s(龙珠果的) leaves have little spiky(有尖刺的) hairs all over them. They are like spikes, pushing out of that plant. There are so many that no room is left for the insects to land on. So the insects can’t eat them. The little hairs serve as a physical feature that helps protect the passion plant from insects.
Other plants protect themselves using chemical things, like the potato plant. The potato plant is able to give out a chemical all over its leaves. The insect swallows this chemical as it eats the leaves. This chemical discourages the insect from wanting to eat more of the plant. How Well, this chemical makes the insect feel full, like it’s already had enough. The insect no longer feels hungry so it stops eating the plant. So, by giving out this chemical, the potato plant protects itself from insects.
27．What is true about the passion plant
A．It doesn’t have any leaves. B．Its leaves are full of spikes.
C．It is too small for insects to eat. D．Insects like to eat spikes of the passion plant.
28．The underlined word “discourages” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.
A．鼓励 B．吞噬 C．阻止 D．使灰心
29．How does the potato plant protect itself
A．It gives out a chemical making insects feel full.
B．It has too many leaves for insects to eat.
C．It has bad leaves for insects to eat.
D．It gives out a chemical to kill insects.
30．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．How to grow plants.
B．Two ways for plants to protect themselves.
C．The relationship between plants and insects.
D．How to make plants stay away from insects.
