The wind is cold and raindrops fall. Bill Porter pays little attention to the bad weather. He's a door-to-door salesman. With heavy steps, he stops at the first house. He rings the bell. A young woman comes to the door.“Hello.”“No, thank you.”She shuts the door. Porter's expression never changes. People might not buy now. Next time. Maybe.
He makes his way up and down the hills. His bag is heavy. His hand hurts. His brain was damaged when he was born, which caused a disorder to his nervous system that affected his speech, hands and walk.
He walks on. He knocks on a door. A man walks out from the backyard where he's gardening. He often buys, but not today, he says, as he walks away.Then Porter is on his way. No sale. No sale. No sale.
Finally, a middle-aged woman invites Porter inside. They chat easily about what has recently happened in the neighborhood. After a few minutes, Porter takes off his hat and raincoat and sets them on a chair. Out come the glasses and the brochures.
“We have a new kind of pepper (甜椒).”“No.”“Hot spices (调味香料)?”“No.” “All natural, pure pasta toppings (意面浇料).”He looks at the customer. She's teetering and just needs a push.
“Sure would make a nice gift.”He studies her face, searching for clues as to what she needs to hear.“Nothing man-made.”“Really? How much is a set?”she asks. “$22.99, and they go a long way.”“OK, I'll give it a try.”
Porter removes his glasses and places everything in his bag. He pulls on his coat and hat and follows the woman to the front door. He turns to her and says,“And I thank you.”
He arrives home after 7 p.m. Today was not profitable. He tells himself not to worry. Four days left in the week. He eats at the kitchen table and listens to the radio. He hears the rain pound on the street. He must dress warmly tomorrow. Soon he's sleepy. With great care he climbs the stairs (楼梯) to his bedroom. In time, the lights go off. Morning will be here soon.
24. In what way is Porter different from other salesmen?
A. He has physical disabilities. B. He sells products to the disabled.

My best friend Harriet and I had been planning on riding together for weeks, but the winter weather meant we kept having to postpone (推迟). This weekend it finally looked as though the weather would hold out long enough for us to stay dry. We couldn't wait to get going!
Harriet was already at the yard with her horse Smokey.“It's meant to start raining after lunch,”she said to me,“so you had better hurry up and get Alfie ready!” “Shouldn't we tell Lisa where we're going?”I asked, as I led Alfie over to the mounting block (上马台). Lisa was the yard owner and always insisted (坚持要求) we tell her where we were going riding.“She's over in the far fields,”Harriet replied. “She'll take ages to come back over!”I felt quite bad about breaking the yard rules, but as soon as we reached the woods, I forgot all about it.
Harriet and I were chatting away as we continued on through the woods. All of a sudden, Harriet stopped.“I don't recognize this part of the woods,”she said worriedly. “I think we must have taken a wrong turn.”I looked around, slowly realizing that Harriet was right. We set off in the direction we had come, but an hour later, we still hadn't figured out where we were in the woods.
Having forgotten to bring a map, I was worried too.“Hold on, the horses must have a better sense of direction than us,”Harriet said.“Maybe they can help us find our way back!”I softened my reins (缰绳) and let Alfie take the lead. Finally, he led us out of the woods. The sky clouded over and it began to rain heavily. By the time we reached the yard, we were completely wet.
After lunch, I headed back up to the yard to check whether Alfie had dried off. I realized how lucky I was to have such a special horse and promised him I would never get us lost again!
28. What can be learned about the riding trip?
A. It was a mid-day trip. B. It was a one-way trip.
C. It was long expected. D. It was fully prepared.
29. How did the author feel before setting off?
A. Quite sad. B. Pretty calm.
C. Very confident. D. quite worried.
30. How did Harriet and the author get themselves out of trouble?
A. By reading some signs. B. By depending on the author's horse.
C. By following the author's ideas. D. By taking shelter from the rain.
31. What is the best title for the text?
A. Lost in the woods B. My love for horses

The Internet offers us an opportunity to know more people (without actually needing to“know them”), with very little effort. But are online friendships the same as in-real-life (IRL) friendships?
How people see online friendships and IRL friendships depends on their age. While digital immigrants (数字移民) (such as I) support scientist John Suler's belief that people“separate their online lives from their offline lives”, the digital natives growing with Facebook and Instagram find differences between online and offline friendships more unclear.
The Pew Research Center (PRC) finds that 57% of American teens make new friends online. But, it also finds that most“digital friendships”stay in the digital space with only 20% of teens having met an online friend in person. It seems that real-time friendships are considered more valuable than digital friendships even among the digital natives. Best friends meet most often at schools and homes, although online meetings come a close third. The reason why online friendships are placed below IRL friendships is the absence of physical intimacy (亲密).
So, is the Internet bad for relationships? Obviously not. But for the net, I could have never kept in touch with or met my high school friend after a quarter of a century. But even if there is no physical separation, the digital native seems to find online interactions (互动) with real-life friends beneficial. 83% of teen social media users believe that social media makes them feel more connected to their friends' lives. 78% of online gaming teens (mostly boys) feel more connected to existing friends with whom they play games.
However, online interactions can have an adverse effect on existing relationships. 68% of teen social media users report having experienced unpleasant feelings toward their friends on social media and 26% of all teens have had an argument (争论) with a friend over something that happened online or over text messages.
The Internet is undoubtedly an invaluable link (联系) between people separated by distance. But this link must be based on intimacy and familiarity and a balance of online and offline interactions will pave the way for better relationships in the world.
32. Which of the following may digital natives agree with?
A. Online friendships are long-lasting.
B. Online friendships just remain digital.
C. Online friendships clearly differ from IRL ones.
D. Online friendships are less valuable than IRL ones.
33. What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A. Why many teens choose online friendships.
B. How real-life friends make online interactions.
C. The influence of online interactions on teens' lives.
D. The benefits of online interactions to IRL friendships.
34. What does the underlined word“adverse”in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Lasting. B. Harmful. C. Decisive. D. Noticeable.
35. What opinion does the author express in the last paragraph?
A. The Internet is good for people's relationships.
B. Good relationships don't exist without intimacy.
C. It is good to balance online and offline communication.
D. Honesty matters to both online and offline communication.

主题语境：人与自我——做人与做事
本文是记叙文。Chelsi把手提包落在车后备箱上，邻居小男孩发现后把手提包送到她家门口，Chelsi深受感动。
61. riding。考查动词-ing形式的用法。设空处所表示的动作与saw同时发生，且句子的主语boy与ride之间是逻辑上的主动关系，故填riding。也可认为while riding是while he was riding的省略形式。
62. to。考查介词。return sth. to sb.为习惯用法，意为“把某物归还某人”。
63. went。考查一般过去时。根据设空处后的on Monday night可知，设空处应该用一般过去时，故填went。
64. to help。考查动词不定式作状语的用法。设空处表示目的，故填to help。
65. merrily。考查副词。设空处作状语修饰riding，故填merry的副词形式merrily。
66. when。考查连词。设空处所在句中用了sb. was doing sth. when ...句式，表示“某人正在做某事，这时……”。
67. which。考查关系代词。“on +设空处”引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词front door，且设空处在从句中作介词on的宾语，故填which。
68. Moved。考查动词-ed形式作状语的用法。Chelsi与move之间在逻辑上是被动关系，故填Moved。
69. valuable。考查形容词。设空处作定语修饰things，故填value的形容词形式valuable。
70. most honest。考查形容词的最高级。根据设空处后的I've ever seen可知，此处表示最高级含义，需用honest的最高级形式，故填most honest。
