短文講述的是美國間諜內(nèi)森.黑爾的故事。黑爾加入美國軍隊之前曾是一名學校教師，然后做了一名間諜，由于經(jīng)驗不足，把秘密告訴了別人，正當他為美國軍隊搜索到了一些重要的情報打算返回的時候，被英國軍隊抓獲，英勇獻身，年僅21歲。

【1】句意：美國間諜內(nèi)森黑爾（1755-1776）就是其中之一。

根據(jù)句意理解及前句Their work is dangerous and they may have to pay for it with their lives. 他們的工作是危險的，他們可能不得不付出生命代價�？芍�這里引出文章的主人公，說內(nèi)森.黑爾就是這樣的人，故選C。

根據(jù)句意理解及前文Why does someone want to be a spy? Some do it for their country. Some for money. Some just love it. 為什么有人想當間諜？有些是為了國家。一些是為了錢。有些人就是喜歡�？芍�這里表達的是黑爾當間諜的原因，故選B。

根據(jù)句意理解及前句Two years later, he chose to be a spy.兩年后，他選擇當間諜。以及后句He went to the city where the British army was staying. 他去了英國軍隊駐扎的城市�？芍�這里表達的是他的間諜工作的內(nèi)容，故選E。

根據(jù)句意理解及后句He told his secret to somebody else. But that person sold him out to the British army. 他把他的秘密告訴了別人。但那個人把他賣給了英國軍隊�？芍�這里表達的是黑爾做間諜沒有足夠的經(jīng)驗，故選A。

根據(jù)句意理解及后句His final words were: “I only regret I have but one life to lose for my country.” 他最后的遺言是:“我唯一遺憾的是，我只有一次生命可以獻給我的祖國�！笨芍�，這里是說的他犧牲了，故選F。
