In films, spies(間諜) 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 the British army.
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 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. He went to the riverbank and waited for a boat to pick him up. However, British soldiers caught Hale at the riverbank and found the papers in his boots. It turned out(原來是) that as a young spy, Hale didn’t have enough experience. He had told his secret to somebody else before. But that person sold him out to the British army. Hale died on Sept 22, 1776. His final words were: “It’s a pity that I have but one life to lose for my country.” He died at the age of 21.
51. Why did Nathan Hale become a spy?
A. For fun. B. For money. C. For himself. D. For his country.
52. What does the underlined word “adventurous” in Paragraph 1mean?
A. 愛撒謊的 B. 愛冒險的 C. 愛沖動的 D. 愛幻想的

A. Nathan Hale was a spy for the British army.
B. Nathan Hale joined the army at the age of 19 years old.
C. Nathan Hale worked as a teacher for 2 years.
D. Nathan Hale had rich experience as a spy.
54. What was the correct order in which these events happened?
①Hale joined the American army
②Hale got information for the American army
③British soldiers caught Hale
④Hale became a schoolteacher
⑤Hale told his secret to somebody else
A. ①④②③⑤ B. ①④②⑤③ C. ④①⑤②③ D.④①②③⑤

第二部分 非選擇題（共45分）
五、閱讀表達(dá)（5分）
Recent years have witnessed(見證) the returning of shared bikes across China. Now more and more people choose cycling instead of driving to school, to workplaces or to do sightseeing. Bike-sharing plans are warmly welcomed in many cities. Mobike has 5.85 million active users while Ofo has 1.4 million users this year.
People can unlock(解鎖) the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones. All bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user. They are popular among many Chinese people because they help solve “l(fā)ast-mile” problems in cities. For example, many people find it difficult to get to the hotel when they get off trainers or to travel around the city.
However, the plans have also led to problems such as illegal(非法的) parking, vandalism(故意毀壞) and theft(偷竊). In February this year, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention(行政拘留) for five days for putting person locks on two shared bikes.
In fact, these problems are also shared by bike-sharing plans abroad. Started in 2007, Velib is the largest public bike sharing company in Paries. At its early period, it also met with problems of vandalism and theft. To solve the problem, the company came up with the idea of encouraging(鼓勵) people to return the bikes to stations by providing free time for their next rides.
Now, Chinese bike-shared companies are also trying to solve these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100-point credit score(信用分?jǐn)?shù)) for each user, but the points will be taken because of his or her bad behaviour. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental(租金) will be increased(增加) from 1 yuan to 100 yuan per 30 minutes.
Answer the following questions with No More Than 8 Words.
56. How many people are using shared bikes in China this year?
57. How do people unlock the shared bikes?
58. Why are the shared bikes popular in cities?
59. What will people get if they return Velib bikes to stations?
60. When wiil bike rental be increased according to Mobike?
六、任務(wù)型閱讀（10分）
閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容，在空格里填入一個最適當(dāng)?shù)脑~。
We often see top students around us and everyone knows about them. Let us take Jenny as an example. She is the monitor of our class. She spends a lot of time working for our class. But she always gets good grades in all subjects. How do students like Jenny do that? When I asked her, she said, “Hard work is not the whole story. It’s not how long you sit at the desk with your books open. It’s what you do as you are sitting.” In fact, we can see many top students spend fewer hours on their studies than their classmates. Jenny gave me some valuable suggestions.
If your math teacher gives you five exercises, you should do six. If your Chinese teacher gives eight pages of reading, you should read nine. The more you practice, the more you learn.
Studying is a matter of your personal interest, so choose the way you are most comfortable with. Some people like working at night when the house is quiet, while others like doing their work early in the morning. However, others like studying as soon asthey arrive home from school while the work is fresh in their minds. No matter(無論) which way suits you, try to do your best.
Studying is your business and the business comes before entertainment(娛樂). When you are studying, phone calls should go unanswered, TV shows unwatched, snacks given up. Studying is the only thing in your mind. Nothing can pull your attention away from what you are studying.
Studying is like eating. You should eat a little at a time. You can plan what to do today, but don’t do too much. When you can’t finish the work you planned to do, you will feel stressed and may lose confidence. On the other hand, you will not study well without a good plan. It all depends on how you manage your time.
The students who hand in a clearly written paper are already half way to get an A. Tidy papers are likely to get higher marks than messy(亂糟糟的) ones. When you write clearly and do your work carefully, the thoughts in your mind are clear. You are able to make fewer mistakes.
61 on making your studies better
Passage outline Supporting details
Do more than you are asked Do more than what your teacher asks you to because 62 makes you learn more.
Choose suitable ways Some people like working on a 63 night, while others like doing their work early in the morning. Some people like studying their lessons shortly after 64 home from school.
Put studying 65 entertainment Pay 66 to what you are studying.

八、短文填空（10分）
In a history class, our teacher, Mrs Bartlett asked us to make a poster in groups about the culture that we were studying. She told us to write the names of three friends we wanted in one group and she would think about o 81 choices(選擇).
