Read the passage and choose the best answer to each of the following questions.
 For many years, scientists have been searching for life beyond Earth. The universe is 
unimaginably large, with billions of galaxies, each containing countless stars and planets. Some of these 
planets may have the right conditions for life, just like Earth. Scientists believe that in order for life to 
exist, a planet must have liquid water, a suitable temperature, and an atmosphere that can protect living 
things.
 One of the most studied planets in our solar system is Mars. Scientists have sent many missions to 
explore the surface of Mars, searching for signs of past or present life. Mars has frozen water at its poles 
and evidence that liquid water once flowed on its surface. However, no living organisms have been 
discovered yet.
 Beyond our solar system, astronomers have identified thousands of exoplanets - planets that orbit 
stars outside our solar system. Some of these exoplanets are in the "habitable zone," the region around a 
star where conditions might be right for life. The most famous discovery is Proxima b, an exoplanet 
orbiting Proxima Centauri, the closest star to our solar system. Although it is in the habitable zone, 
scientists are still unsure if it has the necessary conditions for life.
 To search for extraterrestrial life, scientists also study signals from space. The Search for 
Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) is a project that listens for radio signals from distant planets. If 
 De-Thi.com Bộ đề ôn thi Tiếng Anh 8 sách i-Learn Smart World giữa học kì 2 mới nhất (Có lời giải) – 
 De-Thi.com
intelligent life exists, it might try to communicate by sending signals into space. So far, no clear signals 
have been detected, but the search continues.
 The question of whether we are alone in the universe remains unanswered. While no direct 
evidence of life beyond Earth has been found, scientists believe that with new technology and 
exploration, we may one day discover life on another planet.
27. What is the main idea of the passage?
 A. Scientists are certain that there is life on Mars.
 B. There are billions of galaxies in the universe.
 C. The search for life beyond Earth is ongoing.
 D. Radio signals are the only way to find aliens.
28. What is true about Mars?
 A. It has liquid water on its surface now.
 B. Scientists have found living organisms there.
 C. It is the closest planet to the Sun.
 D. It has evidence of past water flow.
29. What does “habitable zone” mean in the passage?
 A. A planet where humans already live.
 B. The area around a star where conditions might support life.
 C. A region of space with many stars.
 D. A planet with intelligent aliens.
30. What can be inferred from the passage?
 A. Scientists are still looking for evidence of life beyond Earth.
 B. There is no possibility of life anywhere in the universe.
 C. Aliens have already contacted Earth.
 D. The search for extraterrestrial life has stopped.
31. The word “it” in the passage refers to ___________.
 A. Proxima b
 B. Proxima Centauri
 C. Mars
 D. solar system
32. In which paragraph does the writer mention conditions for life to exist?
 A. Paragarph 1
 B. Paragarph 2
 C. Paragarph 3
 D. Paragarph 4

Last Sunday, I met Dr Lenz at his lab. He asked me to sit in front of his latest human robot. I stared at a 
robot head on the table. It looked at me and expressed a variety of emotions, such as happiness, surprise, 
anger, and sadness. Although the head didn't really look like a human's head, its emotions were so real. I 
couldn't help reacting to its emotions as if it were a real person.
Dr Lenz is a leading roboticist. His team wants to build a robotic face that can imitate all the muscles of a 
human face. They believe that their research will be helpful to countries with rapidly ageing populations. 
In these countries, human robots will be able to look after the elderly and interact with these old people 
easily. Dr Lenz also hopes that this new generation of robots can express emotions appropriately to 
culture and society. His team are trying to build social rules and cultural awareness in the robots' 
memory, but they haven't been successful. Dr Lenz admits that the tasks are extremely complex; 
however, he and his team will not give up this project.
Tạm dịch
Chủ Nhật tuần trước, tôi đã gặp Tiến sĩ Lenz tại phòng thí nghiệm của ông ấy. Ông ấy yêu cầu tôi ngồi 
trước con robot hình người mới nhất của mình. Tôi nhìn chằm chằm vào một cái đầu robot trên bàn. Nó 
nhìn tôi và thể hiện nhiều cảm xúc khác nhau, như vui vẻ, ngạc nhiên, tức giận và buồn bã. Mặc dù cái 
đầu đó không thực sự giống đầu người, nhưng cảm xúc của nó lại rất chân thực. Tôi không thể không 
phản ứng lại những cảm xúc ấy như thể nó là một con người thật.
Tiến sĩ Lenz là một nhà nghiên cứu robot hàng đầu. Nhóm của ông ấy muốn tạo ra một khuôn mặt robot 
có thể mô phỏng tất cả các cơ trên khuôn mặt con người. Họ tin rằng nghiên cứu của mình sẽ hữu ích đối 
với các quốc gia có dân số già hóa nhanh chóng. Ở những quốc gia này, robot hình người sẽ có khả năng 
chăm sóc người cao tuổi và tương tác với họ một cách dễ dàng. Tiến sĩ Lenz cũng hy vọng thế hệ robot 
mới này có thể thể hiện cảm xúc phù hợp với văn hóa và xã hội. Nhóm của ông ấy đang cố gắng lập trình 
các quy tắc xã hội và nhận thức văn hóa vào bộ nhớ của robot, nhưng vẫn chưa thành công. Tiến sĩ Lenz 
thừa nhận rằng những nhiệm vụ này vô cùng phức tạp; tuy nhiên, ông và nhóm của mình sẽ không từ bỏ 
dự án này.
