I was the only person to get off the train at 4 p.m. at Abisko in the Arctic Circle. The train disappeared into the night. I was alone, in the dark, with the temperature at -20°, as cold as I’d expected it. I thought about giving up this trip and wished I were on my way back home but the train had gone and I could see a hotel ahead.

The girl at reception gave me the key to a “cabin”(小屋) as the rest of the hotel was closed. I went back outside. I could see by the light from the hotel and found the cabin easily. My hands were frozen as I turned the key in the lock and pushed the door which refused to move. I pushed it harder. I was thinking of breaking a window to prevent myself from freezing to death when I took my hand off the handle and the door opened gently towards me.

After recovering in the warmth of the cabin, which was actually very comfortable, I went outside again. I realized I wasn’t completely alone as I saw car headlights on the road nearby. It was a clear evening full of red, green and blue light in the frozen air. It was so beautiful that I wanted to write a poem about it but I had no paper. I could only spend ten minutes outside at a time so I went in and out of the cabin to watch the amazing Northern Lights. I only spent three days there. I was sorry I’d booked a ticket on the train to continue my journey so soon.

Most of us think of intent(意图) as a “kind of” thing: you intend to go on vacation, but you really don’t do much about it or you intend to go to the market, but some other things get in the way. In fact, intent is a powerful and dynamic mechanism(动态的机制). It’s not just wishful thinking. It’s the determination to act in a certain way.

Intent is so powerful that it can change the results of scientific experiments. There’s a well-known effect called the “observer effect(观测者效应)”. A researcher’s hope--his or her intent--for an experiment may have effects on the result, so if a researcher wants the experiment to show improvement in an area, it will more likely show improvement because he has powerful intent in it.

If intent is the determination to act in a certain way, then the first thing to know is how much you want that thing.

Determination requires many things, and there’s no way you’re going to get them if you don’t want something very much. You know the difference. You can want like “that would be nice” or you can want like “gotta have it, no matter what it takes”. It’s only the “gotta have it, no matter what it takes” that can make your intent become real.

(   )41. What is intent?

A. It is only some wishful thinking. B. It is a “kind of” thing.

C.It is your hope for things. D. It is your determination to act.

(   ) 42. Why does the writer say intent is powerful?

A. It can help people think scientifically.

B. It may bring some excellent effects.

C. It requires many kinds of things.

D. It makes people different from others.

(   ) 43. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A. The determination to act.

B. The powerful intent.

C. The thing that one wants.

D. The basic rule of success.

(   ) 44. What does the writer want to remind readers?

A. “Gotta have it” is more important than determination.

B. Choosing great fields(领域) is the way to achieve success.

C. We should find out what we like in our life.

D. Strong intent is important to one’s success.

(   )45. How does the writer introduce the topic?

A. By using examples. B. By telling stories.

C.By making comparisons. D. By showing reasons.

D

The world has been looking for other livable planets for many years. In recent years, people believe that it’s time for humans to leave the Earth.

According to the history of the human race, we would probably try to remove the population of the new planet to make it our won. James Cameron’s movie Avatar is a great example of this.

We need to stop focusing our attention on running away and making others home our own home. Instead, we should start paying attention to the important things at hand. There are many resources to be used to fix what we’ve broken. There are solar panels which can serve better than people can imagine. There are several things to replace plastic, and there are hybrid cars that can completely replace common cars and of course there’s wind power.

“On Earth when something breaks, you don’t fix it. Instead, you replace it,” said a scientist. That’s what we’re doing not only with things on our planet, but also with the planet itself. Many believe it’s the best for the human race to find a new planet because ours is too bad to be saved. However, it’s this kind of wrong thinking that has kept us from doing anything important about the lives on our planet.

Stephen Hawking said that humans needed to colonize elsewhere or we would disappear within the next hundred years. Is that really what we want? It’s not too late if we decide to care.

(   ) 46. Why did the writer mention the movie Avatar in Paragraph 2?

A. To introduce an exciting movie to readers.

B. To show it is a great and successful movie.

C. To support his own opinion.

D. To show his idea on human history.

(   ) 47. What does the underlined word “replace” mean in English?

A. Take the place of. B. Help with. C. Improve. D. Lose.

(   ) 48. What does the writer want to tell us according to Paragraph 4?

A. We should mainly change our present ways to treat the things on Earth and the Earth itself.

B. We need to keep on looking for new planets to live on.

C. Our planet is becoming worse and there’s nothing we can do.

D. We should only care about the living things on our planet.

(   ) 49. Which of the following would the writer agree with?

A. Stephen Hawking was wrong about the Earth.

B. It’s better for humans to find a new home.

C. It’s not too late to solve problems on Earth yet.

D. The Earth will be unlivable within hundreds of year.

(   ) 50. What’s the purpose of the passage?

A. To let us realize the real problems with our planet.

B. To let us get ready to move to another new planet.

C. To introduce some new resources to us.

D. To teach us the history of the human race.
