In films, spies (间谍) are lucky people. They are smart and adventurous. But a real spy’s life is not that exciting. They must live a life of lies. Their work is dangerous and they may have to pay for it with their lives.
American spy Nathan Hale (1755–1776) was one of these people.
Why does someone want to be a spy Some do it for their country. Some for money. Some just love it.
Nathan Hale became a spy for the first reason. He lived during the American Revolution (革命). He and his people fought (对抗) the British army (军队).
In 1774, Hale joined the American army. Before that, he was a schoolteacher. Two years later, he chose to be a spy. He had to get information (情报) from the British army.
He went to the city where the British army was staying. He told them that he was a schoolteacher and wanted to find a new job. He tried to get information for the American army. Hale finally got something important and decided to go back. He hid some papers in his boots (靴子). He went to the riverbank and waited for a boat to pick him up.
But as a young spy, Hale didn’t have enough experience. He told his secret to somebody else. But that person sold him out to the British army. British soldiers (士兵) caught Hale at the riverbank and found the papers in his boots.
Hale died on September 22, 1776. His final words were: “I only regret (遗憾) I have but one life to lose for my country.” He died at the age of 21.

In nature, you may see many insects and animals of different colors. Have you ever wondered why Locusts are super delicious food for birds, but it is not always an easy job for birds to catch them. It is neither because locusts are good jumpers or runners nor because they are smarter than their enemies. The reason is that the colors of locusts change with the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are young, locusts look green. But when autumn comes, locusts change to the yellow and brown color as crops do.
Brown bears, tigers and other animals move quietly through forests. They can’t be seen easily by their enemies. This is because they have colors similar(类似的) to the trees. For the same reason, polar bears that live on a land of snow and ice are white. Butterflies and bees living among the flowers are colorful like flowers. Soil(土壤）insects are mostly dark-colored and they live under the soil in a dark and wet environment. However, insects with colors different from plants can easily be found and eaten by others. So in order to survive, they have to hide themselves in the daytime and appear only at night.
Have you ever noticed some even stranger acts The ink fish(墨鱼) in the sea can send out some very black ink when it faces danger. As the ink spreads over(散开) , its enemies(敌人) will find themselves suddenly in a dark world. At the same time the ink fish immediately swims away. That is how it keeps itself safe though it is not strong at all.
33. It is not easy for birds to catch locusts because____________.　　　　　 .
A. locusts are good runners B. locusts can jump very high
C. locusts are smarter than birds D. locusts can change their color
34. According to the passage, most soil insects_________
A. do not have bright colors B. change their colors with the soil
C. do not live in a dark and wet environment D. eat colorful insects like butterflies and bees
35. What’s the meaning of the underlined word ＂survive＂ in the passage.
A. 繁殖 B. 产卵 C. 觅食 D. 生存
36. The ink fish_______ so that its enemies will not see it.
A. changes its color B. makes the water around it black
C. appears only at night D. hides itself in the sea rocks

I didn’t want to be a bodybuilding champion. I wanted to be the best bodybuilder of all time.
Deep, deep down ask myself, “Who do you want to be ” Not what, but who. I’m talking about thinking it out for yourself, “What makes you happy ”
You have to think outside the box. That’s what I believe, after all. What’s the point of being on this Earth if all you want to be is be killed and avoid trouble
We have so many rules in life about everything. I say break the rules. Don’t break the law, but break the rules.
I remember that after I had finished with my bodybuilding career I wanted to act. I wanted to be a star in films. Everyone had the same thought that I couldn’t be done. They said, “Look at this body, you have this huge monstrous(巨大的)body, you’re overly developed.” They thought I wouldn’t fit into movies. But I didn’t listen to them. Those were their rules. I was completely certain that I could do it.
Then I got my big break（重大转机）in Conan the Barbarian. That shows you should trust yourself no matter what anyone else thinks.
On that movie, the director said, “If we didn’t have Schwarzenegger, we would have to build one.” Then when I did The Terminator, I said, “I’ll be back…” One of the famous lines in movie history, all because of my crazy accent（腔调）. It just shows that you should never listen to those who say you can’t do something.
Don’t be afraid to fail. In everything that I have tried, I’ve always been willing to fail. Don’t be afraid of making decisions. You can’t be paralyzed(吓倒) with the fear of failure or you will never push yourself. You can push because you believe in yourself and your imagination. You know it’s the right thing to do and success will come. Don’t be afraid to fail.
---By Arbold Schwarzenegger

A. he was sure he could achieve something in acting
B. he received a lot of help from his family and friends
C. he found acting more fun than bodybuilding
D. he was ready to listen to others’ advice
38. We know from his speech that Schwarzenegger is .
A. stubborn and arrogant (傲慢的) B. patient and reliable (可靠的)
C. modest and old-fashioned D. confident and strong-willed
39. The underlined phrase “think outside the box” in Paragraph 3 means .
A. think while standing outside the box instead of inside the box
B. think about the outside world in an open way
C. go outside to see the outside world
D. think in a creative and unusual way

七、阅读与回答问题（本题共10小题; 每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容回答问题。
In the deserts of North Africa and Saudi Arabia lives the smallest of all foxes with the largest of ears.
This animal is the fennec fox.
Fennec foxes have ears that are 5 to 6 inches long.That's big for an animal that weighs less than four
pounds.Their ears help shed (去除) body heat.And,as you may have guessed,they also provide great
hearing.
It's also interesting to think about the hair of fennec foxes.Why would a fox that lives in the desert
need a thick,fur coat Actually,the desert isn't always warm.During the nighttime,a desert can be
terribly cold!A fennec fox's fur keeps them warm during those desert nights.They also have long bushy
tails that they use as a blanket.And the hair on their feet protects them from the hot sand in the daytime.
Fennec foxes live in small communities of dens (兽穴).They spend most of the day sleeping in their
dens,out of the hot sun.Then,when night comes,they come out in search of food.In addition to their
great hearing,fennecs also use their great sense of smell and big eyes to track down dinner.
Like other foxes,fennecs are omnivores.This means they eat both meat and plants.They like eating
birds,eggs,insects,snails,fruit and leaves best.
Fennec fox mothers have one to five babies at a time.The lifespan of a fennec fox is 10 to 12 years.
The cream coloration of fennec foxes help them blend into their desert habitat.Still,they have to watch
out for predators (捕食性动物).These include caracals ( a type of wild cat ) ,jackals,eagle owls,
hyenas and humans.Humans catch them for their fur and to sell as pets.
