热考素材 跨学科·物理 Today, we're going to study a super fun Sun Science Experiment: building a Solar Tower!

You can try this project at home. You just need some tape, a pin(别针), paper, scissors, three cans and two books of the same size, and lastly, a sunny day!
First, cut off the tops and bottoms of the cans, place the cans on top of each other and tape them together. Once the tower is ready, we start working on our pinwheel(风车) with a piece of square paper, about $15\ \mathrm{cm} × 15\ \mathrm{cm}$. Next, use a pin to connect the pinwheel with the tower. Finally, put the can tower on top of the books, which are 5 cm apart from each other. So there's a gap at the bottom, allowing the air to enter the tower.
Now, all we have to do is set the whole thing near a window, where there's direct sunlight. When the sun shines on the tower, it gets hot and warms the air in it. The warmer air moves upward through the tower and makes the pinwheel turn around as it passes by. Then cooler air comes in through the gap from the bottom of the tower, is heated, and rises, so the cycle goes on. This is how it works. How amazing!
This is such a fun and educational experiment. It really sparks our interest in exploring other ways we can use the sun's energy.

本文介绍了可在家进行的太阳能塔趣味科学实验,列出所需材料、搭建与操作步骤,解释了阳光加热塔内空气形成循环使纸风车转动的原理,该实验兼具趣味性与教育意义。
1. B 细节理解题。由第二段内容可知,该实验没提及③中的内容。
2. C 细节理解题。根据第三段中"Finally, put the can tower on top of the books, which are 5 cm apart from each other. So there's a gap at the bottom, allowing the air to enter the tower."可知,在这两本书之间留出空是为了让空气进入塔内。
3. D 图片理解题。根据第四段可知,当太阳照在塔上时,塔变热,塔内的空气变暖。温暖的空气通过塔向上移动,使风车在经过时转动。然后较冷的空气从塔底部的缝隙进入,被加热,上升,这样循环下去。这就是它的工作原理。
4. A 词义猜测题。句意:它确实激发了我们探索其他能够利用太阳能量的方式的兴趣。画线词与 lead to 同义。
5. C 推理判断题。本文主要介绍如何做一个太阳能塔,可能在科学部分看到这篇文章。
