Actually, white is not their natural color. But there are many advantages(优点) if they are painted white. It is a good way for airlines(航空公司) to protect their plane from sunlight. Another reason is that white paint can reduce (减少) heat and any possible damage(损坏) from sun radiation(辐射). Less heat also means lower cooling cost for airlines.
That's not all. The airplane company staff check the plane's surface each day. White paint makes it easier than colorful paints for staffs to find out the cracks on the plane' s surface. Most importantly, safety is a matter that we should pay more attention to. At night or in bad weather, it will become more difficult for the ground monitoring station to see the plane flying in the sky. So white planes can help people reduce this bad effect(效果) when the planes are seen clearly in the special environment.
The cost of keeping a plane in the best situation is mainly considered by many airplane companies. Actually, a colorful appearance looks good but is useless. Colorful planes often lose their color after flying for several years. Especially, bad weather, the main reason, will do harm to their appearance. Airlines will have to spend time and money repainting their planes. In order to cut the unnecessary cost, many airlines will paint them in white or keep most of the planes' appearance in white instead of other colors.
All in all, the color white is a better choice.
(1)、It is a good way for airlines to protect their planes from sunlight by painting the planes in ____.A、red B、black C、white D、green(2)、The Chinese meaning of the underlined word"cracks" in Paragraph 3 is ____ .A、坠毁 B、飞行器 C、现金 D、裂缝(3)、The underlined word"their" in Paragraph 4 is about ____ .A、ground monitoring stations' B、airlines' C、planes' D、staffs'(4)、Which of the following is NOT true?A、Less heat also means lower cooling cost for airlines. B、White paint makes it easier to find out the cracks by airline staff. C、It is difficult for the ground monitoring station to see the plane flying in the sky at night. D、The cost of keeping a plane in the best situation is only considered by many airplane companies.(5)、What is the main idea of this whole passage?A、It is a good way for airlines to protect their planes from sunlight by painting the planes in white. B、The white planes are seen clearly in the special environment. C、White planes often lose their color after flying for several years. D、There are many advantages for airlines to paint planes in white instead of other colors.5. 配对阅读,左栏是五个人物所经历的事情,右栏是七个事件的描述,请为左栏五个人所经历的事情选择对应的描述。I was walking towards my home.

Pandas are in danger. There are only about1, 600 pandas in the wild today. Zoos and research centers are looking after about 340 pandas. Pandas do not have many babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is getting very difficult. Scientists are doing a lot of research to help pandas produce more babies and help baby pandas live.
Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. Each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pandas are losing their home.
In order to protect pandas in the wild, the government is setting up nature parks and developing other plans. The nature parks will be big and there will be more bamboo to feed the pandas. Pandas born in zoos may go back to live in the nature parks.
The World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF) wants to protect all animals. And it chose the panda to be its symbol. We do not want to lose tigers, elephants or any other animals, so the WWF is working hard to save them all.
