Đọc kỹ đoạn văn sau, chọn một phương án đúng nhất (A, B, C hoặc D) cho các câu, từ câu 66 đến 75
A pilot cannot fly 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.
Câu 66: What is the main topic of this passage?
A. History of radar B. Types of ranging C. The nature of radar D. Alternatives to radar
Câu 67: According to the passage, what can radar detect besides location of objects?
A. Shape B. Weight C. Speed D. Size
Câu 68: The word "exemplified" in the passage can be replaced by "_______".

Câu 80: A secretary told me an important file had left in the lunch room just the other day.
A B C D HẾT
