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 set sends out a short burst of radio waves: Then it receives the echoes produced when the waves bounce off 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 other 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.
What might be inferred about radar?
选项
A、It takes the place of a radio.
B、It gave birth to the invention of the airplane.
C、It developed from a study of sound waves.
D、It has improved navigational safety.
答案
D
解析
推断题型见本文第二句:In many conditions, such as flying at night and landing in dense fog, a pilot must use radar, an alternative way of navigating. (在许多情况下,如夜间飞行、在浓雾中降落;飞行员必须使用雷达——一种航行用的替代方法);由此可推断雷达的使用除了使航行更为准确、弥补人类飞行员的不足之外,更重要的是它使得航行更为安全,因此选项D为答案。
