59、 when you are just about to board a flight at the airport, have you ever noticed that the majority of airplanes are white? Sure, some have decorations and names in different colors, but the base color behind those add-ons is almost always white.Now, thinking of your summer wardrobe, which has at lea
60、st a couple of white items, be it a T-shirt, a pair of pants, or a skirt. The main reason people prefer white on a hot day is its particular ability to reflect sunlight. The color white is a terrific reflector of sunlight, and reflects almost all the light that falls on it, unlike other colors, whic
61、h absorb some of the light. So, just like clothing, aircraft producers use white paint to keep airplanes cool. It minimizes the heating as well as the potential harm from solar radiation. Planes have some parts made from plastic, carbon fiber, and fiberglass. Those things in particular need the most
62、 protection from the blazing sun.The next reason for painting planes white is even more practical. Its just cheaper to have white-colored plane. You see, all airplanes start out white when theyre made. But what if an airline decides to paint theirs, say, bright yellow? An additional layer of paint w
63、ill add more than 1,000 pounds of weight to the aircraft. The paint on a Boeing 737 weighs 180kg and on a Boeing 747 is around 500kg. Weight increment means the increase of fuel burnt, and that can get pricey. Most airlines want to avoid the higher cost.When flying at high altitudes, exposed to vari
64、ous atmospheric conditions, colored airplanes tend to fade, and thus require a lot of paint jobs to maintain their artistic appeal. A white-colored airplane, on the other hand, doesnt appear significantly different, even after spending a considerable amount of time in the air.Besides, airplanes are
65、regularly inspected for cracks and any other form of surface damage for obvious safety reasons. Nothing works better than white when it comes to spotting a crack on the surface, as the crack is almost always darker than white. Plus, a white plane is easier to spot visually in the event of a crash or
66、 any other mishap, especially at night, or in a massive body of water.Additionally, a study published in Human-Wildlife Interactions found that the paint job does make a difference to birds: “This finding suggests that a whiter airframe would stand out more against the sky from the perspective of th
67、e flying birds visual system.” According to ABC, approximately $300 million dollars worth of damage to planes is caused by birds each year. There you have it: Planes are white to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible, with the added bonus of hitting by fewer birds.38. What can we learn from t
68、he passage?A. Colored airplane is easier to spot when in the event of a crash.B. White color can absorb some of the light and make the plane cool.C. White paint can decrease the possible damage of the sun radiation.D. Colored aircrafts do not fade easily and maintain the color for a long time.39. Th
69、e underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refers to .A. the aircraftsB. white-colored planeC. most airlinesD. the increase of fuel burnt40. Why does the author mention the birds in the last paragraph?A. To introduce how the birds visual system works.B. To show the cost of an airplane is quite expensiv
70、e.C. To state white plane is more obvious to flying birds.D. To stress how serious damage birds can do to planes.41. The main purpose of this passage is to .A. inform and explainB. discuss and clarifyC. analyze and adviseD. compare and evaluate【答案】38. C 39. D 40. C 41. A【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了为什么大多数飞机都是白
71、色的。【38题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的So, just like clothing, aircraft producers use white paint to keep airplanes cool. It minimizes the heating as well as the potential harm from solar radiation.可知，所以，就像衣服一样，飞机制造商使用白色涂料来保持飞机凉爽。它将尽量减少加热，并且将太阳辐射的潜在危害降到最低。由此可知，白色涂料可以减少太阳辐射可能造成的损害。故选C。【39题详解】词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句Weight inc
72、rement means the increase of fuel burnt, and that can get pricey.的可知，重量的增加意味着燃料消耗的增加，那可能会变得昂贵。由此可知，that指的是上半句中的the increase of fuel burnt。故选D。【40题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的This finding suggests that a whiter airframe would stand out more against the sky from the perspective of the flying birds visual system.
73、可知，这一发现表明，从飞行鸟类的视觉系统的角度来看，更白的机身在天空中更显眼。由此可知，作者在最后一段提到鸟类是为了说明，白色的飞机对飞翔的鸟类来说更明显。故选C。【41题详解】推理判断题。根据第一段中的While gazing at an airplane passing thousands of feet overhead, or when you are just about to board a flight at the airport, have you ever noticed that the majority of airplanes are white? (当你凝视着从几千
