（2022·江苏省如皋中学高三开学考试）While gazing at (凝望) 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 vast majority of airplanes are white It seems a bit strange, but is there a real reason for it ___16___.
The color white is a terrific reflector of sunlight, and reflects almost all the light that falls on it, unlike other colors, which absorb some of the light. ___17___, it will absorb sunlight and heat up the body of the airplane, which is something you want to avoid. White, on the other hand, reflects that sunlight and avoids the gradual build-up of heat on the plane.
___18___. In terms of money, painting an airplane is not like painting a fence. It requires a considerable investment. Painting a regular Airbus takes between two and seven days, depending on your budget. Plus, more paint on the fuselage (机身) means more overall weight, which will translate to higher operating cost.
You see, the end goal of an airline company is to minimize the cost as much as possible. Buying a colored airplane would mean that they would likely have to paint it white, for the various reasons mentioned above. ___19___. Thus, colored airplanes have lower resale value.
Finally, if there’s no problem with the existing white color, then why bother fixing it at all ___20___.
A．White doesn’t fade
B．Painting is expensive
C．When your airplane is in flight
D．If you paint your airplane in a color other than white
E．Commercial planes are generally white because of the following reasons

____23____ By cycling, you save money on fuel or train fares. If you do drive into work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a nightmare, whereas finding somewhere to chain your bike up can be much simpler. Then, on the train, there are changes at stations and other commuters speaking loudly on their phones to deal with. ____24____ And if you’re worried about safety, there are designated cycle lanes in many major cities. Wearing high-visibility clothing, sometimes referred to as ‘hi-vis’, is another way to improve your safety when cycling on the roads.

（2022·湖南师大附中高三阶段练习）Why do women always feel cold
The “correct” temperature to be set often forms the basis of office arguments between women and men. Between the sexes, there are always more similarities than differences. ____26____ Is there any science backing up the widespread belief that women “feel the cold ”more than men
Biological differences between men and women
At around the same body weight, women tend to have less muscle to generate heat. ____27____Thus, the skin feels colder, as it’s slightly further away from blood vessels(血管).
Women also tend to have a lower metabolic rate than men, which reduces heat production capacity during cold exposure, making women more likely to feel cold as the temperature drops.
Hormonal differences
The hormones oestrogen(雌激素) and progesterone(黄体素) are found in large quantities in women. ___28___ Oestrogen enlarges blood vessels at the extremities, meaning more heat can be lost to the surrounding air. And progestcrone can cause the vessels in the skin to tighten, meaning less blood will flow to keep the internal organs warmer, leaving women feeling cooler.
Is it just humans
____29____ Studies on many species of birds and mammals report that males commonly gather in cooler areas where there is shade, while females and offspring stay in warmer environments where there is sunlight, as the young are unable to regulate their own body temperature during some stages. Therefore, the difference between heat- sensing mechanisms may provide an evolutionary advantage.
So how do we agree on the ideal temperature
In the workplace, personal comfort systems are thermal systems that heat or cool and can be locally positioned in individual work stations such as desktops, chairs, or near the feet and legs. ____30____ These systems provide individualized thermal comfort to meet personal needs without affecting others in the same space.
A．The skin is the first line of defence.
B．They contribute to the core body and skin temperatures.
C．Animals have the same system to regulate body temperature.
D．They also have more fat between the skin and the muscles.
E．The preference for warmer temperatures isn’t unique to humans.
F．Examples include desk fans, heated chairs or foot warmers.
G．Researches show women prefer a higher temperature to men, however.

When you’re able to carry on the conversation clearly, you’re listening at a proper volume. But do remember that never raise the volume on your listening device over 60% of the maximum!

（2022·安徽·高三开学考试）Ways to Grow Your Own Plant Supports Instead of Buying Them
Many new gardeners think it is necessary to buy new items for their gardens, when in fact, careful design and the right plant choices can mean that your garden can actually provide the things you need.
One common example of the things that people buy when they could grow them in their own garden is plant supports.____36____. While there are numerous plant supports on the market, my professional take is you can do without buying any of these at all.
Many climbing and vining plants require some support as they grow. Sometimes, the plants you grow beside climbers or vines can provide all the support they need. ____37____ . The same thing can be true of a number of taller perennials (多年生植物). Growing them close can prevent them being blown over in strong winds. ____38____, as you will need to think about competition and avoid overcrowding.
Of course, other living plants will not always be able to provide the support that is required. I find growing trees like the hazel or willow means you always have suitable material to use in your own garden. ____39____ . Do so early on in garden establishment and over time, you can easily become self-sufficient in garden plant supports-even in a small garden.

（2022·湖南省岳阳县第一中学高三阶段练习）The China State Council issued a document in early August, suggesting employers across the country make flexible working arrangements and give their workers Friday afternoons off during hot summer days in order to boost tourism and consumption.
Online surveys have shown that most correspondents are in favor of the State Council’s proposal for longer weekends, as two and a half days are enough even for one to plan a short journey. People will have more time to be together with their families. ____41____
However, there are doubts as to whether this well-intentioned initiative can be put into practice. ____42____ While the regular two-day weekend is still a dream for a large number of working people in various industries, a two-and-half-day weekend is really a luxury many people can barely afford.
____43____ If staff workers of government departments and public institutions no longer work on Friday afternoons, local residents will have nowhere to go if they have urgent issues to solve through these establishments.
Obviously, the only way out is to implement policies concerning paid annual leave in a realistic manner so that the working people can make arrangements for their days off work. As a result, holidaymakers don’t need to all rush to the same scenic spots during the same period of time, which would be beneficial to the protection and operation of these spots. ____44____ Thus it serves the initial purpose of boosting economic growth through developing tourism.
____45____ The government is supposed to pay more attention to the protection of labor rights and employ all possible means to ensure their holidays as well as the functions of government institutions, instead of just making economically motivated policies.
A．Also, this is an effective way to increase consumer spending.
B．The right of workers to rest and paid annual leave are protected under the law.

F．Another worry is that this measure will finally be exclusively (专有地) enjoyed by a limited number of employees.
G．As long as paid annual leave remains unrealistic in most industrial sectors, the two-and-half-day weekend seems pointless.
