Đọc hiểu TOEFL - Bài 4

Đọc đoạn văn sau và trả lời các câu hỏi:
A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone. In many conditions, suchas flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar,an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very goodat determining speeds of approaching objects, radar can show a pilot5 how fast nearby planes are moving.The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when oneshouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helpsa person determine the size of the cave. With radar, however, the10 waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travelat the speed of light, about 300,000 kilometers in one second. Aradar set sends out a short burst of radiation waves. Then it receivesthe echoes produced when the waves bounce off objects. By determiningthe time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained15 technician can determine the distance between the radar set and otherobjects. The word "radar," in fact, gets its name from the term "radiodetection and ranging." "Ranging" is the term for detection of thedistance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of criticalimportance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control,20 tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.
