Question

"Here's the advance payment(預(yù)期款) of 10,000 dollars. You will get the other half when we get those papers," the agent told Mike. "But sir, Mr. Smith has been very suspicious (懷疑) since last week," Mike replied.
"In that case, be careful and don't worry. You are very clever," the agent said." Take 5,000 dollars more," Mike looked around uneasily but took the money.
Mike was a clerk in a large company. A few years ago he started to get very worried because it was very hard for him to support his family. He wanted to give his child an excellent education and a bright future, but the future looked rather hopeless.
One day some agents called him. They were his company's competitors. At first he refused their offers. But when he thought his dream could come true, he agreed to their offers and began giving them information.
However, his spy work started to get more and more difficult because his owner had become suspicious, since a lot of important information was leaking out.
One night when Mike was on one of his spying tasks, he met Alim, the night watchman." What are you doing here, Mike?" shouted Alim.
"Oh, I had just forgotten some documents here, Alim, "Mike replied, trying to look comfortable." I just came to get them."
"Is that true?" Alim said." We’ll see what Mr. Smith says."
Alim called Mr. Smith and told him to come right away. Mr. Smith looked at Mike and said. "So you are the thief! I believed in you, Mike."
"Call the police, Alim. We have finally caught the spy," Mr. Smith said. "And by the way, Mike ,no man can serve two masters. You should have left if you did not work with us any longer."

【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題是為什么他成為一名間諜？原文He wanted to give his child an excellent education and a bright future, but the future looked rather hopeless.句意：他想給他的孩子一個(gè)良好的教育和一個(gè)光明的未來(lái)，但未來(lái)看上去很絕望。故選C。
【小題2】推理判斷題。句意代理人們要求他做什么？原文中he agreed to their offers and began giving them information句意：他同意他們的提議，開始給他們的信息. 從這句話中體現(xiàn)答案。 故選A。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 I believed in you, Mike句意：我相信你，Mike. 從 Mr. Smith 話語(yǔ)中體現(xiàn)出在他心目中Mike是一個(gè)誠(chéng)實(shí)的人。故選C。
【小題4】詞義猜測(cè)題。從原文中得知leak out 為泄露之意，泄露之意就是成為眾所周知的。故選C。
【小題5】總結(jié)升華主題。通過本文的小故事，能夠從中得到什么啟示A、D均不符合題意，努力工作不一定會(huì)誠(chéng)實(shí)，最終在工作我們要誠(chéng)懇的對(duì)待。故選B。
