VII. Read the following passage and choose the correct answers.
A pilot cannot fly a plane by sight alone. In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use
radar, an alternative way of navigating. Since human eyes are not very good at determining speeds of approaching objects,
radar can show a pilot how fast nearby planes are moving. The basic principle of radar is exemplified by what happens when
one shouts in a cave. The echo of the sounds against the walls helps a person determine the size of the cave. With radar,
however, the waves are radio waves instead of sound waves. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, about 300,000
kilometers in one second. A radar sends out a short burst of radio waves. Then it receives the echoes produced when the
waves bounce off the objects. By determining the time it takes for the echoes to return to the radar set, a trained technician can
determine the distance between the radar set and the objects. The word 'radar', in fact, gets its name from the term 'radio
detection and ranging'. 'Ranging' is the term for detection of the distance between an object and the radar set. Besides being of
critical importance to pilots, radar is essential for air traffic control, tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems
and storms.
