【解析】

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(duì)之前曾是一名學(xué)校教師，然后做了一名間諜，由于經(jīng)驗(yàn)不足，把秘密告訴了別人，正當(dāng)他為美國軍隊(duì)搜索到了一些重要的情報(bào)打算返回的時(shí)候，被英國軍隊(duì)抓獲，英勇獻(xiàn)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(xiǎn)的，他們可能不得不付出生命代價(jià)�？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。

【2】句意：內(nèi)森黑爾成為間諜是第一個(gè)原因。

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(dāng)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(dá)的是黑爾當(dāng)間諜的原因，故選B。

【3】句意：他必須從英國軍隊(duì)那里得到情報(bào)。

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(dāng)間諜。以及后句He went to the city where the British army was staying. 他去了英國軍隊(duì)駐扎的城市�？芍�這里表達(dá)的是他的間諜工作的內(nèi)容，故選E。

【4】句意：但是作為一個(gè)年輕的間諜，黑爾沒有足夠的經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

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(gè)人把他賣給了英國軍隊(duì)。可知這里表達(dá)的是黑爾做間諜沒有足夠的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，故選A。

【5】句意：黑爾于1776年9月22日去世，享年21歲。

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(xiàn)給我的祖國�！笨芍�，這里是說的他犧牲了，故選F。
