The terraced rapeseed(油菜)flower hills of Jiangling,Wuyuan is well-known as one of the four “seas of flowers” in China,attracting thousands of plant-loving tourists to come and appreciate and photograph the vast and endless rapeseed flower fields.
“Rapeseed flowers are the messenger of spring,” said Bin Zhan,manager of Jiangxi Wuyuan Tourism,“Jiangling is the best place for a relaxing spring trip to enjoy the most visually impressive views of golden seas of rapeseed blossoms covering layered terrace fields.”
The rapeseed blossom in the terraced fields of Jiangling,located 45 kilometres to the northeast of Wuyuan County,Jiangxi Province,reached full bloom in the second week of March.
This year,Wuyuan restores ancient farming traditions and practices to give visitors an idea or the history,culture and folk customs of the county by adding scarecrows(稻草人) in the rapeseed flower fields.The creative scarecrows of Wuyuan County are designed in the shapes of popular cartoon characters,Hui-style architecture and folk customs.They are placed in the rapeseed fields to provide more fun and interactions for visitors on flower-viewing tours.
“As flower viewing is becoming more popular in recent years,Jiangling is seeing a growing number of returning visitors,especially professional photographers who come back every year for the dramatic rapeseed blossoms,” Zhan said.“The blossoms only last one to two months.April is the last chance to catch a flower-viewing tour this year.”
In addition to flower viewing,Wuyuan County is also home to the most well-protected ancient Hui-style architecture in China.As one of the most beautiful countryside villages in China,it attracts photographers from around the world every year to document not only the natural scenery,but also the unique farming culture and folk traditions.
1.What does the underlined word “They” refer to
A.Folk customs.
B.Hui-style buildings.
C.Creative scarecrows.
D.Models of popular cartoon characters.
2.What can we infer from paragraph 5
A.Returning visitors get discounts when entering Jiangling.
B.Visitors could catch the last flower-viewing tour in May.
C.It is in March and April that Jiangling has the most visitors.
D.Not many professional photographers will go to see the blossoms.
3.What is the writing purpose of this article
A.To introduce Wuyuan County as a tourist destination.
B.To report how many people visited Jiangling this year.
C.To introduce the history of rapeseed farming in Jiangling.
D.To remind visitors of the best viewing time for rapeseed blossoms.

With the summer heat becoming increasingly unbearable over the years due to climate change,the cooling load in the summertime has also been on the rise.Insulation(隔热)is currently the main solution for blocking heat from entering a building,but by applying an additional material that can delay heat penetration(渗透),it can prevent the indoor temperature from rising and in turn lower the cooling load of the building.
A research team in Korea has developed a new material for building walls that can help reduce the penetration of heat from the outside.The team directed by Dr.Sarng Woo Karng from KIST revealed that they have successfully done it through building walls by applying a phase change material(PCM).One of the most common types is paraffin oil,which is used to make candles.
A solid PCM absorbs heat as it transforms into a liquid phase,so by using a case to hold it when it is in a liquid phase without causing any leakage(渗漏),it is possible to apply them to a building wall to block heat from entering inside.
The problem,however,is that the PCM turns into liquid starting from the outermost layer,and the parts that are hot move upward,while the parts that are still relatively cool move downward.Thus,while the upper part may have completely melted,the lower part will have not,and as a result,heat will penetrate into the building through the area where the PCM is in a liquid phase.In the end,the PCM becomes ineffective in controlling the indoor temperature and is rendered useless.
Dr.Karng’s team addressed the non-uniform phase change with bubble injections.Injecting bubbles into the bottom part of the PCM enabled uniform circulation(流动)of the PCM in a liquid phase.Dr.Karng said,“We expect that the insulating wall using the PCM bubble generator used in this study will contribute to reducing the amount of energy used to heat or cool a building.Insulation techniques using the PCM help reduce heat penetration,in combination with the building insulating material,and it can also be used as the outer walls of zero-energy buildings.
4.What kind of function do PCMs serve according to the text
A.Lowering heat penetration.
B.Making the walls stronger.
C.Being used to make candles.
D.Perfecting the building walls.
5.Why is a case used when the PCM is in a liquid phase
A.To test its effect. B.To avoid the risks.
C.To block the heat. D.To stay in shape.
6.What can we infer about insulation techniques using PCMs
A.They are imperfect.
B.They are ineffective.
C.They are low-cost.
D.They are environmentally friendly.

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了建筑墙体中使用PCM材料能够抵御夏季热浪。
4.A 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A research team in Korea has developed a new material for building walls that can help reduce the penetration of heat from the outside.”及第三段内容可知,PCM材料是一种能够防止热气渗透的物质。故选A项。
5.D 细节理解题。根据第三段可知,容器的作用在于固定其形状。故选D项。
6.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Insulation techniques using the PCM help reduce heat penetration,in combination with the building insulating material,and it can also be used as the outer walls of zero-energy buildings.”可知,这项技术与建筑物的隔热材料结合起来,可以减少热量渗透,它也可以用作零能耗建筑物的外墙,因此这项技术是环保的。故选D项。
