Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

According to recent scientific theory, it is probable that life will develop on planets
that have a favorable environment - planets similar to ours, that orbits stars like our sun.

Since there are about 400 billion stars in our galaxy alone, that means there are a huge

number of planets like ours that could sustain life. Planets with advanced civilizations are

likely to be widely scattered throughout the universe. In the past four decades, humans on
Earth have begun to search for these civilizations. This search is called SETI, the Search for

Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, and it has been conducted largely by searching for radio

waves emitted from civilizations on other planets.

In 1960, Dr. Frank Drake made the first attempt at SETI, by conducting a radio search
using an 85-foot antenna of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia.

This search, called Project Ozma, observed two stars about 12 light years away. Since that

time, more than 60 searches have been conducted by dozens of astronomers in at least eight
countries.

All searches, thus far, have faced many limitations: they used equipment that lacked

sensitivity, they did not search frequently, they covered little of the sky, or they could search

for only a few types of signals or in a few directions. The searches did turn up signals of
unknown origin, but data collected in these searches were often processed long after the

observation. In order to be sure that a signal is from another civilization, it has to be

independently verified and shown to originate from a point beyond the solar system. Later

searches for the unknown signals turned up nothing.
Project Phoenix, the latest SETI, is more comprehensive than any of those previous

experiments and proves to overcome all these problems. Project Phoenix uses the world’s

largest antennas. This allows it to scrutinize the regions around 1,000 nearby Sun-like stars,

and immediately test candidate signals. It is important that Project Phoenix continue to be

upgraded, because radio interference from Earth sources is growing, and may soon interfere

with our ability to detect possible extra-terrestrial signals. In order to overcome this growing
interference, ever better antenna systems are being developed.

Câu 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?

A. Possible explanation for radio signals of unknown origin
B. Efforts to search for signals from extra-terrestrial civilizations

C. The life stories of scientists involved in SETI

D. The origin of life on other planets

Câu 37: What is TRUE about Project Ozma?
A. It used the space station’s 85-foot antenna.

B. It lasted only 12 years.

C. It was conducted by a group of astronomers from eight countries.

D. It was the first SETI.
Câu 38: It can be inferred from the passage that a major limitation of earlier searches for

alien radio signals was_________.

A. the difficulty of obtaining government funding
B. the limited number of signals that might be extra-terrestrial

C. the slowness of the verification process

D. the lack of scientific interest in this topic

Câu 39: The word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to_________.
A. search B. signal C. civilization D. datum

Câu 40: Which of the following would NOT distinguish Project Phoenix from previous

SETI experiments?

A. It uses larger antennas. B. It tests candidate signals quickly.
C. It is comprehensive. D. It covers little of the sky.

Câu 41: The word “scrutinize” in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by_________.

A. process B. establish C. examine D. orbit

Câu 42: Which of the following may be Project Phoenix’s limitation?

A. Its inaccurate detection caused by radio interference from Earth sources

B. Its equipment’s lack of sensitivity
C. Its infrequent searches

D. Its limited search directions

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

For many American university students, the weeklong spring break holiday means an

endless party on a sunny beach in Florida or Mexico. In Panama City Beach, Florida, a city

with a permanent population of around 36,000, more than half a million university students
arrive during the month of March to play and party, making it the number one spring break

destination in the United States.

A weeklong drinking binge is not for anyone, however, and a growing number of

American university students have found a way to make spring break matter. For them,
joining or leading a group of volunteers to travel locally or internationally and work to serve

the community makes spring break a unique learning experience that university students can

feel good about.
During one spring break week, students at James Madison University in Virginia

participated in 15 “alternative spring break” trips to nearby states, three others to more

distant parts of the United States, and five international trips. One group of JMU students

traveled to Bogalusa, Louisiana, to help rebuild homes damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
Another group traveled to Mississippi to organize creative learning activities for literate

children living in an orphanage. One group of students did go to Florida, but not to lie on the

sand. They performed exhausting physical labor such as cleaning the beach, maintaining

hiking trails and destroying invasive plant species that threaten the native Florida ecosystem.
Students who participate in alternative spring break projects find them very

rewarding. While most university students have to get their degrees before they can start
