分析 可能是因为当时他正在听收音机，所以直到已经来不及了，他才注意到公路上黑乎乎的东西．

解答 答案：A．根据he didn't notice the dark object in the road until it was too late可知直到已经来不及了，他才注意到公路上黑乎乎的东西，所以前句表示当时他正在听收音机，因此用过去进行时，答案是A．

点评 考查过去进行时．
过去进行时表示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间内进行或发生的动作．其形式为was/were+V-ing．常与表示过去的时间状语连用，如：last night，last Saturday等；或者与when，while，as引导的过去时间状语连用．例如：We were watching TV from seven to nine last night．昨天晚上七点到九点的时候我们在看电视．What was he researching all day last Sunday？上周日他一整天都在研究什么？

19．Indian's snake charmers are to be retrained as wildlife teachers under a plan to prevent their unique skills and knowledge from being lost．The charmers，who make snakes dance to the sound of flutes （笛子），used to be a traditional feature of Indian life，performing in towns and villages，until they were banned in 1972to control the trade in snake skins．
The government is now considering a plan to train the saperas，as they are known，to visit schools and zoos to tell children about forests and wildlife．There is also a proposal to set up a"dial a snake charmer"service to help householders to deal with unwelcome intruders．
"For generations they have been a feature of Indian life but now they can't earn a living for fear of arrest，"said Behar Dutt，a conservationist behind the plans，"if a policeman doesn't catch them，animal rights activists report them．"
Many snake charmers have continued to work clandestinely since the ban，despite the threat of up to three years in jail．But their trademark cloth-covered baskets，hung from a bamboo pole carried across their shoulders，make them an easy target for police．
The fate of Shisha Nath，56，from Badarpur，a village just outside of Delhi，is typical of practitioners （从业者） of the dying art．"I used to earn enough to support my family and send my children to school，"he said．"Now it's hard to earn even£1a day．My children want to be snake charmers．It's our identity．We love the work．But it's become impossible．"
Next month Dutt's project to train 30snake charmers will begin at a snake park in Pune，western India，where experts will enrich their home-grown skills with some formal knowledge．
More than the law，though，it is the dishonest attitude of their fellow countrymen that angers many snake charmers．
"We're disturbed all the time but when people want a snake removed from the house，they rush to us，"said Prakash Nath，who was ordered recently to the home of Sonia Gandhi，the Congress party leader．

20．My oldest child，Emma，just returned to campus after a long holiday break to finish up her last period of college．These days，friends and family have begun flooding me with one question：What is she going to do after graduation？
The job market is，after all，awfully tough．Just this month the Federal Reserve Bank published a study showing that"recent graduates are increasingly working in low-paid jobs or working part-time．"The bright spot，according to the study，is for students who majored（主修） in STEM-science，technology，engineering and mathematics-areas in which recent graduates"have tended to do relatively well"．
But Emma is a student of the humanities（人文） at a small college．She's an American Studies major with a focus on the politics and culture of food．For quite a while，I think her field of study is so fashionable right now that I'm not the least bit worried she will find a good job．Yet the more I've thought about it，the more I've decided to be honest．"I'm not sure what Emma is going to do，"I now say．"But she's gotten a great education and has really found her interest．-and I know those things will serve her well over the course of her life．"
Nowadays，more and more universities and colleges are being measured by the salaries of their recent graduates．In this climate，encouraging your kid to study the humanities，seems，at best，unwise or，at worst，unconcerned with earning a living．But a college is not a vocational（职业） school．And promoting STEM subjects should not be society's only answer to helping the next generation grow in a competitive world．
From the beginning，we never urged Emma to pick a college or a major with an eye on its expected return on money，as more and more families are doing．To Emma，what really matters will be something that we may not be able to measure for quite a long time：Emma's contribution to the world and how happy she is in it．
25．The author's friends and familyC．
A．are worried about Emma's safety
B．have been worrying about the flood
C．are concerned about Emma's future  
D．are worried about the job market
26．What can we learn from Paragraph 2？C
A．The number of the graduates is increasing．
B．STEM graduates can be better employees．
C．STEM graduates are in relatively greater demand．
D．More and more graduates like to do a part-time job．
27．Why did Emma choose a major in the humanities？A
A．Because she is interested in it．
B．Because her mother told her to．
C．Because it is increasingly popular．
D．Because she wants further education．
28．According to the author，what matters most in choosing a major is thatD．
A．it should be among the STEM
B．it should be fashionable and interesting
C．it should allow a good job and a high salary
D．it should bring achievements and happiness．

18．The young boy saw me，or rather，he saw the car and quickly ran up to me，eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts．Though he appeared to be about twelve，he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life．"Bananas 300naira．Peanuts 200naira．"He said in a low voice．I bargained him down to 200total for the fruit and nuts．When he agreed，I handed him a 500naira bill．He didn't have change，so I told him not to worry．He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth．
When，two weeks later，I saw the boy again，I was more aware of my position in a society where it's not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun．My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us．I pulled over and rolled down my window．He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready．I waved them away．"What's up？"I asked him．"I …I don't have money to buy books for school．"I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500naira bills．"Will this help？"I asked．He looked around nervously before taking the money．One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5，000naira or less each year．"Thank you，sir，"he said．"Thank you very much!"
When driving home，I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks．What if he's a swindler？And then I wondered why I did it．Did I do it to make myself feel better？Was I using him？Later，I realized that I didn't know his name or the least bit about him，nor did I think to ask．
Over the next six months，I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria．Sometime after I returned，I went out for a drive．When I was about to pull over，the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face．
"Oh，gosh!Long time．"
"Are you in school now？"I asked．He nodded．"That's good，"I said．A silence fell as we looked at each other，and then I realized what he wanted．"Here，"I held out a 500naira bill．"Take this．"He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt．"What's wrong？"I asked．"It's a gift．"He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back．His face shone with sweat．He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said，"I've been waiting to give these to you．"
