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. 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 essentia] for air traffic control,
tracking ships at sea, and for tracking weather systems and storms.
Question 36. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. the nature of radar
B. types of ranging
C. alternatives to radar
D, history of radar
Question 37. The word 'dense' could be replaced by _______.
A. cold
B. thick
C. wet

Question 38. The word 'it' refers to _______.
A. a radar set

C. a radio wave

In the West, cartoons are used chiefly to make people laugh. The important feature of all these
cartoons is the joke and the element of surprise which is contained. Even though it is very funny, a
good cartoon is always based on close observation of a particular feature of life and usually has a
serious purpose.
Cartoons in the West have been associated with political and social matters for many years. In

wartime, for example, they proved to be an excellent way of spreading propaganda. Nowadays
cartoons are often used to make short, sharp comments on politics and governments as well as on a
variety of social matters. In this way, the modern cartoon has become a very powerful force in
influencing people in Europe and the United States.
Unlike most American and European cartoons, however, many Chinese cartoon drawings in the
past have also attempted to educate people, especially those who could not read and write. Such
cartoons about the lives and sayings of great men in China have proved extremely useful in bringing
education to illiterate and semiliterate people throughout China. Confucius, Mencius and Laozi have
all appeared in very interesting stories presented in the form of cartoons. The cartoons themselves
have thus served to illustrate the teachings of the Chinese sages in a very attractive way.
In this sense, many Chinese cartoons are different from Western cartoons in so far as they do not
depend chiefly on telling jokes. Often, there is nothing to laugh at when you see Chinese cartoons.
This is not their primary aim. In addition to commenting on serious political and social matters,
Chinese cartoons have aimed at spreading the traditional Chinese thoughts and culture as widely as
possible among the people.
Today, however, Chinese cartoons have an added part to play in spreading knowledge. They
offer a very attractive and useful way of reaching people throughout the world, regardless of the
particular country in which they live. Thus, through cartoons, the thoughts and teachings of the old
