B Reading Comprehension
2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Bats are wild animals. They are the only mammals that are able to fly. Bats can be found almosteverywhere in the whole world except in very cold or very hot countries. They are mostly found in tropical countries. Bats have an interesting way of looking at their world. Bats are nocturnal, which means they are
most active at night. They don’t use their eyes to find their way around in the dark. They use their ears instead! Bats are among a very selected group of animals. The animals in this group also include whales and dolphins. They all use a very high frequency sound, which is a special noise, to do what other animals do with their eyes. This skill is known as echolocation. Echolocation allows bats to hunt for food. It also helps them avoid obstacles in their path as they fly in the dark. It even lets them communicate with other bats. So how does echolocation work? It’s just like ringing sounds in a large, empty room or at the edge of a narrow valley. Bats move air across their vocal cords just like people do when they speak or shout. Some bats make the sound come out of their mouths. Others make the sound come out of their noses. The sound they make has a very high noise. This means the sound waves move very quickly. The energy from the sound waves goes out in front of the bat and bounces off any objects there. It creates a ringing sound that returns back to the bat.
The bat’s ears often appear quite large compared to the size of its head. Depending on where the sound hits on the folds of the bat’s ear, the bat can tell very precisely where an object is. The strength of the echo can even tell the bat how large the object is. The echo from a moving object has a different sound
from the one that is still. It is either lower or louder. The sound is louder if the object is coming closer and lower if it’s going away. This is important because it helps the bat find insects to eat. The process of echolocation is very natural for the bat. The bat does not have to think about listening, or what to do next. It works so well that the bat doesn’t care that it is. It can see with its ears!
