Ⅲ.（2025 广西柳州期末改编）阅读理解
Hippos, which are called “river horses”, are one of the biggest land animals in Africa.
Usually, in most photos of these huge African animals, we can see them in water. The reason is that hippos stay in water for 16 hours a day to keep themselves cool in hot weather in Africa. They sleep in water, and their babies are also born there. You may think hippos live only in rivers or lakes, and they are good at swimming. However, they can’t swim. They are just so big that they can walk in water or stand on the bottom of a lake. They can breathe, see and hear when their bodies are under the water because their noses, eyes and ears are on the top of their heads. When the sun goes down, hippos will come out of the water and travel to look for food.
It’s easy to think hippos are friendly animals. In fact, they are easy to be angry and often fight. ▲ They fight with lions for land or rivers. They fight to protect their young babies. They also attack the boats for their safety if the boats come too close to them. Hippos are very dangerous!
Hippos may look like big, slow animals, but they can run fast—about 30 kilometres an hour. That’s faster than a person can run. In a word, if you meet hippos in the wild, just stay away from them!

Ⅳ.（2025 山东日照新营中学月考）任务型阅读
Can plants eat people Maybe not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big, and they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蝇草).
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. 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. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses(压) the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly.
Plants are living things that have leaves and roots and grow in earth. 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 some of the bigger plants don’t get the same idea!
