A
How to Communicate Securely on Your Mobile Device
The Problem
Text messages and voice calls can be intercepted (截获) by threat actors.
Check it out!
If you have a cell phone, you’ve likely heard of 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G. These are generations of cellular communications protocols (蜂窝通信协议). With each successive generation, we’ve benefited from improvements in data speed and security. Most phones display what cellular network protocol you are using in the upper corner of your device. This can be misleading because even if your phone shows 5G, it can still be communicating across all the older generations, such as 2G or 3G, at the same time. Networks will do this to manage capacity in high-traffic areas, allowing users’ data to go across the faster protocol (i.e. 5G) and voice calls and Short Message Service texts to go across the older protocols (e.g. 2G). However, cellular protocols do not provide end-to-end encryption (加密) for text messages and voice calls, and you can’t guarantee that your phone is using the most secure protocol.
The Solution
The best way to protect the privacy and security of your texts and voice calls is to use a secure messaging app. Here are some important security features you should look for in a messaging app:
1. Why might a phone use older networks while showing “5G”?
A. To avoid encryption. B. To preserve battery life.
C. To balance network load. D. To improve data security.
2. Which feature better prevents unauthorized access to secure messages?
A. VoIP. B. MFA.
C. End-to-end encryption. D. Cellular Network Protocol.
3. Who would find this passage most useful?
A. A 6G network designer. B. A 5G phone salesperson.
C. A telecommunication researcher. D. A privacy-conscious general user.
【答案】1. C 2. B 3. D
【解析】

You’d be forgiven for thinking competing nominations (提名) in the same category at an annual award. This might inspire members of the average family to engage in some friendly rivalry. But the Nelsons — Lukas and his dad — are no ordinary family. “There’s no rivalry at all. He and I joined teams, so we got a 40 percent chance,” Lukas says of being nominated for best traditional country album alongside his pops.
That optimistic outlook — the concept of music as a guiding light — is just one of the many lessons Lukas, 37, has taken from Willie, 92, as he’s carved his own career path, first with his band Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real and now as a successful solo artist.
Lukas found music early in life, attracted by the guitar as a way of connecting with his father, who was often on the road. “All I wanted to do was be around him, and I missed him. Learning how to play the guitar brought me closer to him,” says Lukas, who now performs regularly with his dad. They’ve also found more modern ways to keep in touch. “We communicate by playing dominoes on the phone when we’re away. It’s amazing,” says Lukas.
When he was younger, Lukas had dreams of being an Olympic swimmer, but he decided instead to focus on music. At just 11 years old, he wrote the song You Were It on the school bus, and his dad recorded it for his 2004 album It Will Always Be. Now (in 2026) American Romance has been released. “I was kind of an awkward kid,” he says. “Music gave me an avenue to put all my pain into and transform it like magic into something beautiful, and it’s given me a sense of meaning and confidence.”
4. What does the underlined word “rivalry” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Mission. B. Occasion. C. Investment. D. Competition.
5. What can be inferred about Lukas’ childhood?
A. He was good at playing dominoes.
B. His father was too busy to care for him.
C. He showed extraordinary artistic talent.
D. Playing the guitar was all he wanted to do.
6. What’s the function of music according to Lukas?
A. It acts as a life compass.
B. It guarantees media spotlight.
C. It is a way to follow his father’s step.
D. It provides a steady source of income.
7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Music channels pain into power. B. Shared passion connects generations.
C. Age decides musical achievement. D. Family remains the source of strength.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】主要讲述卢卡斯与父亲同时获得音乐奖项提名,父子因共同的音乐爱好维系亲情,音乐也成为指引卢卡斯成长、治愈内心的重要力量。
【4题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“You’d be forgiven for thinking competing nominations (提名) in the same category at an annual award. This might inspire members of the average family to engage in some friendly rivalry.(人们很容易认为在年度奖项同一奖项中获得竞争提名,这可能会让普通家庭成员产生友好的rivalry。)”可知,同奖项提名会产生相互比拼的局面,结合上下文competing nominations的语境,可判断rivalry表示竞争,与Competition含义一致。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Lukas found music early in life, attracted by the guitar as a way of connecting with his father, who was often on the road.(卢卡斯从小就接触音乐,他被吉他吸引,将其当作与常年在外奔波的父亲联络感情的方式。)”可知,父亲经常外出奔波,十分忙碌,没有太多时间陪伴和照顾卢卡斯。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“That optimistic outlook — the concept of music as a guiding light — is just one of the many lessons Lukas, 37, has taken from Willie, 92, as he’s carved his own career path, first with his band Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real and now as a successful solo artist. (这种乐观的人生态度——把音乐视作引路明灯的理念——只是37岁的卢卡斯从92岁的威利身上学到的诸多人生感悟之一。卢卡斯一步步闯出自己的事业道路,先是组建乐队卢卡斯·尼尔森与真实之约,如今已是一名事业有成的独立音乐人。)”可知,在卢卡斯眼中,音乐如同人生的引路明灯,起到人生指南针的作用。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“Lukas says of being nominated for best traditional country album alongside his pops.(卢卡斯和父亲同时获得最佳传统乡村专辑提名)”、第三段中的“Lukas found music early in life, attracted by the guitar as a way of connecting with his father, who was often on the road. (卢卡斯从小就与音乐结缘,吉他吸引了他,他借此与常年在外巡演的父亲维系情感联结。)”以及第四段讲述卢卡斯年少创作歌曲、音乐治愈自我并成就事业可知,文章围绕父子两代人因共同的音乐热爱凝聚亲情、相互影响展开,所以,“共同的热爱,跨越代际相连”最能概括全文核心。
C
At the Shenzhen College of International Education, a group of teenage students planning to attend universities abroad are explaining how generative artificial intelligence helps them with their work. Their enthusiasm lays a growing challenge for education at all levels: whether the use of AI by students and researchers should be restricted, unwillingly accepted or actively encouraged. Research for the UK’s Higher Education Policy Institute showed the proportion of students using generative AI for schoolwork or assessments jumped from 55 per cent in 2024 to 88 per cent in 2025.
But for all the evidence of uptake, it is less clear precisely how generative AI is used and the implications of that for learning. A study by AI developer Anthropic earlier in 2025 examined the prompts (提示词) students entered into its tool Claude. Many requests were “transactional” — asking directly for answers to assignments, rather than “conversational” prompts to help them explore and understand concepts.
On top of that, a large share of the questions required creativity or critical thinking from Claude, arousing concerns over whether students were externally assigning deeper intellectual tasks to computers instead of reflecting on the material themselves. It warns that the use of large language models turns researchers in education from creators into simple consumers of knowledge.
Yet many schools and universities are starting to recognise that exposure to AI is unavoidable once students enter the workplace, so they should be provided with access, training and guidelines to best prepare for them. Failure to do so risks putting some of them at a disadvantage in the job market.
Joseph Aoun, the president of Northeastern University, believes higher education will survive by using AI as a tool while emphasising human skills that computers cannot replace such as entrepreneurship, creativity and teamwork. Hence his institution requires experiential, project-based learning and work placements — aspects appealing to recruiters that a computer-written assignment cannot fulfil. He is relaxed about how this generation of students will cope over the next decade. “The real question is how things will be in 20 years for the undergraduates who have not yet been born. That’s a wide open question,” he says.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To highlight an opinion.
C. To illustrate an argument. D. To help explain a concept.
9. What does Anthropic’s study find about student-AI interaction?
A. AI is mostly used for creative assignments.
B. AI improves students’ conversational skills.
C. AI often involves requests for direct answers.
D. AI mainly helps understand complex concepts.
10. How can higher education remain relevant according to Joseph Aoun?
A. By prioritizing human-exclusive skills.
B. By fully integrating AI into grading systems.
C. By shortening degree programs to focus on AI.
D. By competing with AI on computational tasks.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AI Reshaping Learning Methods B. Training Students for an AI World
C. The Problem of AI in Assignments D. AI’s Impact on Education and Beyond
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Their enthusiasm lays a growing challenge for education at all levels: whether the use of AI by students and researchers should be restricted, unwillingly accepted or actively encouraged.(学生们的热情给各级教育带来了日益严峻的挑战:是否应该限制、被动接受还是主动鼓励学生和研究人员使用人工智能。)”可知,第一段以出国留学的学生使用AI的现象引出全文关于人工智能对教育影响的话题。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Many requests were “transactional” — asking directly for answers to assignments, rather than “conversational” prompts to help them explore and understand concepts.(学生的许多请求属于交易式提问,直接索要作业答案,而非通过交流式提问探究和理解知识点。)”可知,研究发现学生使用人工智能多是直接索要作业答案。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Joseph Aoun, the president of Northeastern University, believes higher education will survive by using AI as a tool while emphasising human skills that computers cannot replace such as entrepreneurship, creativity and teamwork.(东北大学校长约瑟夫·奥恩认为,高等教育要将人工智能当作工具,同时重视创业、创造力、团队合作等人工智能无法替代的人类专属能力。)”可知,高校要侧重培养机器无法取代的人类特有技能,才能跟上时代发展。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第四段中的“Yet many schools and universities are starting to recognise that exposure to AI is unavoidable once students enter the workplace, so they should be provided with access, training and guidelines to best prepare for them.(许多中小学和高校开始意识到,学生步入职场后不可避免要接触人工智能,因此应为学生提供使用渠道、培训及规范指导,帮他们做好准备。)”以及后文专家观点可知,文章围绕人工智能给教育带来的影响展开,强调要培养学生适应人工智能时代的能力,所以“Training Students for an AI World(为人工智能时代培育人才)”最能概括全文核心,适合作为最佳标题。
D
A groundbreaking technique has transformed a 4, 400-kilometer undersea telecom cable into a massive seismic (地震的) array. Researchers at Nokia Bell Labs have repurposed a fiber-optic (光纤) cable between Hawaii and California into a system simulating 44, 000 underwater seismic stations using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS).
The method detects how seismic waves or pressure changes slightly disturb light in cables. A key innovation overcame a major obstacle: signal-blocking repeaters. The team employed built-in “loop-back” pathways within the repeaters, allowing reflected light signals to return amplified (放大的), thereby creating a continuous, high-precision sensor network.
Crucially, this system does not require dedicated fiber. As explained, scientists can use a specialized laser that operates at higher frequencies than regular Internet traffic, sharing the capacity of existing commercial cables — a technique developed by Giuseppe Marra, a metrologist at the United Kingdom’s National Physical Laboratory. This makes practical application highly cost-effective. “The beauty of this tech is that it can run on legacy cables,” noted Martin Karrenbach, a co-author and geoscientist at Seismics Unusual who has been one of the main figures behind the growth of DAS.
In tests, the system successfully detected a major magnitude 8.8 earthquake near Kamchatka and the subsequent tsunami wave. The technology promises to revolutionize the study of underwater earthquakes, mantle structures, ocean currents, and marine life, filling a critical data gap in the insufficiently monitored oceans.
However, rolling out the technology to scientists won’t be so simple. Some experts question the data’s precision for high-level science. Broader implementation may face security problems, such as telecom companies restricting cable location details for commercial sensitivity.
Despite these issues, the approach, which unlocks the potential of existing resources, marks a significant leap toward continuous, detailed monitoring of the planet’s most inaccessible regions. Sensors there could track marine life, monitor currents, and observe tectonic activity. They are there, ready, waiting for us to ask what they see.
12. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A. Why repeaters were a major obstacle.
B. How seismic waves disturb light signals.
C. Why a continuous sensor network was built.
D. How a breakthrough tackled a technical challenge.
13. What can be inferred from Martin Karrenbach’s words?
A. Old cables perform better. B. Setup cost is extremely high.
C. New investment is unnecessary. D. Companies resist cable updates.
14. What might concern experts regarding this technology?
A. Interference with Internet traffic. B. Data inaccuracy for top research.
C. Potential harm to marine species. D. Need for more complicated skills.
15. How does the author think about such sensors?
A. Promising. B. Problematic. C. Objective. D. Unreliable.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A
【解析】

True Champions
The district championship game against Apache was physical and intense. The Academy girls basketball team was in a weaker position, and their coach, Brendan King knew they’d have to play their absolute best for a chance at winning. Scoring was back and forth until the fourth quarter, when Apache pulled away by 14 points with four minutes on the clock.
For Academy players, this was their last shot at a title — most were seniors. King called one last timeout. “If we want to make one final push to win this game, this is the time to do it,” he told his players.
Academy came out of the timeout with new energy, playing as if they had nothing to lose, sinking shot after shot to pull within a few points of Apache. Then Lily Payne hit a 3-point buzzer-beater (投压哨球) to top Apache by one point for the school’s first-ever district championship. The crowd rushed the court as players dogpiled on top of one another. Among cheers and celebration, the championship trophy (奖杯) was presented to Academy.
But King walked to the locker room with a sinking feeling. Late that night, King sat down at his kitchen table with the game tape, calculating every point on a notepad. His gut (直觉), it turned out, was right. By his count, Academy had actually lost the game by a point. In the fourth quarter, just before the referee stopped the game, an Academy shot went up and rolled around the edge. The crowd roared, sure that it was bound to drop into the basket...but then it didn’t. The record keeper, with a poor angle, thought it had gone in.
Depressed but relieved to know the truth, King went to bed.
On Sunday morning, King called and needed the girls back at the gym. They knew something wasn’t right. Their coach never contacted them on a Sunday.

【答案】范文
Many players arrived directly, still overjoyed at winning the championship the previous night. But when they saw King’s serious face, the laughter faded. He took a deep breath and told them everything — the missed shot, the scoring error, and the real loss. Silence fell over the room. Some seniors, who had just celebrated their last title, wiped away tears. Others stared at the floor, disbelief in their eyes. “This doesn’t take away how proud I am of you,” King said softly. Then he explained their options: keep the trophy as the official record allowed, or do what was right.
But within 20 minutes, the team made their decision. “Coach, there’s only one thing to do,” one said firmly. “Give it back.” The others nodded without hesitation. Together, they called Apache’s coach to share the truth. Then King and his players made the 90-minute drive to Apache High School. In their gym, King handed the trophy to the Apache team. The Apache players, tears in their eyes, recreated the game-winning shot — this time celebrating with the trophy they rightfully owned. Both teams left knowing they had witnessed something greater than a championship: true champions play fair.

A
How to Communicate Securely on Your Mobile Device
The Problem
Text messages and voice calls can be intercepted (截获) by threat actors.
Check it out!
If you have a cell phone, you’ve likely heard of 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G. These are generations of cellular communications protocols (蜂窝通信协议). With each successive generation, we’ve benefited from improvements in data speed and security. Most phones display what cellular network protocol you are using in the upper corner of your device. This can be misleading because even if your phone shows 5G, it can still be communicating across all the older generations, such as 2G or 3G, at the same time. Networks will do this to manage capacity in high-traffic areas, allowing users’ data to go across the faster protocol (i.e. 5G) and voice calls and Short Message Service texts to go across the older protocols (e.g. 2G). However, cellular protocols do not provide end-to-end encryption (加密) for text messages and voice calls, and you can’t guarantee that your phone is using the most secure protocol.
The Solution
The best way to protect the privacy and security of your texts and voice calls is to use a secure messaging app. Here are some important security features you should look for in a messaging app:
1. Why might a phone use older networks while showing “5G”?
A. To avoid encryption. B. To preserve battery life.
C. To balance network load. D. To improve data security.
2. Which feature better prevents unauthorized access to secure messages?
A. VoIP. B. MFA.
C. End-to-end encryption. D. Cellular Network Protocol.
3. Who would find this passage most useful?
A. A 6G network designer. B. A 5G phone salesperson.
C. A telecommunication researcher. D. A privacy-conscious general user.
B
You’d be forgiven for thinking competing nominations (提名) in the same category at an annual award. This might inspire members of the average family to engage in some friendly rivalry. But the Nelsons — Lukas and his dad — are no ordinary family. “There’s no rivalry at all. He and I joined teams, so we got a 40 percent chance,” Lukas says of being nominated for best traditional country album alongside his pops.
That optimistic outlook — the concept of music as a guiding light — is just one of the many lessons Lukas, 37, has taken from Willie, 92, as he’s carved his own career path, first with his band Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real and now as a successful solo artist.
Lukas found music early in life, attracted by the guitar as a way of connecting with his father, who was often on the road. “All I wanted to do was be around him, and I missed him. Learning how to play the guitar brought me closer to him,” says Lukas, who now performs regularly with his dad. They’ve also found more modern ways to keep in touch. “We communicate by playing dominoes on the phone when we’re away. It’s amazing,” says Lukas.
When he was younger, Lukas had dreams of being an Olympic swimmer, but he decided instead to focus on music. At just 11 years old, he wrote the song You Were It on the school bus, and his dad recorded it for his 2004 album It Will Always Be. Now (in 2026) American Romance has been released. “I was kind of an awkward kid,” he says. “Music gave me an avenue to put all my pain into and transform it like magic into something beautiful, and it’s given me a sense of meaning and confidence.”
4. What does the underlined word “rivalry” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Mission. B. Occasion. C. Investment. D. Competition.
5. What can be inferred about Lukas’ childhood?
A. He was good at playing dominoes.
B. His father was too busy to care for him.
C. He showed extraordinary artistic talent.
D. Playing the guitar was all he wanted to do.
6. What’s the function of music according to Lukas?
A. It acts as a life compass.
B. It guarantees media spotlight.
C. It is a way to follow his father’s step.
D. It provides a steady source of income.
7. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Music channels pain into power. B. Shared passion connects generations.
C. Age decides musical achievement. D. Family remains the source of strength.
C
At the Shenzhen College of International Education, a group of teenage students planning to attend universities abroad are explaining how generative artificial intelligence helps them with their work. Their enthusiasm lays a growing challenge for education at all levels: whether the use of AI by students and researchers should be restricted, unwillingly accepted or actively encouraged. Research for the UK’s Higher Education Policy Institute showed the proportion of students using generative AI for schoolwork or assessments jumped from 55 per cent in 2024 to 88 per cent in 2025.
But for all the evidence of uptake, it is less clear precisely how generative AI is used and the implications of that for learning. A study by AI developer Anthropic earlier in 2025 examined the prompts (提示词) students entered into its tool Claude. Many requests were “transactional” — asking directly for answers to assignments, rather than “conversational” prompts to help them explore and understand concepts.
On top of that, a large share of the questions required creativity or critical thinking from Claude, arousing concerns over whether students were externally assigning deeper intellectual tasks to computers instead of reflecting on the material themselves. It warns that the use of large language models turns researchers in education from creators into simple consumers of knowledge.
Yet many schools and universities are starting to recognise that exposure to AI is unavoidable once students enter the workplace, so they should be provided with access, training and guidelines to best prepare for them. Failure to do so risks putting some of them at a disadvantage in the job market.
Joseph Aoun, the president of Northeastern University, believes higher education will survive by using AI as a tool while emphasising human skills that computers cannot replace such as entrepreneurship, creativity and teamwork. Hence his institution requires experiential, project-based learning and work placements — aspects appealing to recruiters that a computer-written assignment cannot fulfil. He is relaxed about how this generation of students will cope over the next decade. “The real question is how things will be in 20 years for the undergraduates who have not yet been born. That’s a wide open question,” he says.
8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To highlight an opinion.
C. To illustrate an argument. D. To help explain a concept.
9. What does Anthropic’s study find about student-AI interaction?
A. AI is mostly used for creative assignments.
B. AI improves students’ conversational skills.
C. AI often involves requests for direct answers.
D. AI mainly helps understand complex concepts.
10. How can higher education remain relevant according to Joseph Aoun?
A. By prioritizing human-exclusive skills.
B. By fully integrating AI into grading systems.
C. By shortening degree programs to focus on AI.
D. By competing with AI on computational tasks.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. AI Reshaping Learning Methods B. Training Students for an AI World
C. The Problem of AI in Assignments D. AI’s Impact on Education and Beyond
D
A groundbreaking technique has transformed a 4, 400-kilometer undersea telecom cable into a massive seismic (地震的) array. Researchers at Nokia Bell Labs have repurposed a fiber-optic (光纤) cable between Hawaii and California into a system simulating 44, 000 underwater seismic stations using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS).
The method detects how seismic waves or pressure changes slightly disturb light in cables. A key innovation overcame a major obstacle: signal-blocking repeaters. The team employed built-in “loop-back” pathways within the repeaters, allowing reflected light signals to return amplified (放大的), thereby creating a continuous, high-precision sensor network.
Crucially, this system does not require dedicated fiber. As explained, scientists can use a specialized laser that operates at higher frequencies than regular Internet traffic, sharing the capacity of existing commercial cables — a technique developed by Giuseppe Marra, a metrologist at the United Kingdom’s National Physical Laboratory. This makes practical application highly cost-effective. “The beauty of this tech is that it can run on legacy cables,” noted Martin Karrenbach, a co-author and geoscientist at Seismics Unusual who has been one of the main figures behind the growth of DAS.
In tests, the system successfully detected a major magnitude 8.8 earthquake near Kamchatka and the subsequent tsunami wave. The technology promises to revolutionize the study of underwater earthquakes, mantle structures, ocean currents, and marine life, filling a critical data gap in the insufficiently monitored oceans.
However, rolling out the technology to scientists won’t be so simple. Some experts question the data’s precision for high-level science. Broader implementation may face security problems, such as telecom companies restricting cable location details for commercial sensitivity.
Despite these issues, the approach, which unlocks the potential of existing resources, marks a significant leap toward continuous, detailed monitoring of the planet’s most inaccessible regions. Sensors there could track marine life, monitor currents, and observe tectonic activity. They are there, ready, waiting for us to ask what they see.
12. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
A. Why repeaters were a major obstacle.
B. How seismic waves disturb light signals.
C. Why a continuous sensor network was built.
D. How a breakthrough tackled a technical challenge.
13. What can be inferred from Martin Karrenbach’s words?
A. Old cables perform better. B. Setup cost is extremely high.
C. New investment is unnecessary. D. Companies resist cable updates.
14. What might concern experts regarding this technology?
A. Interference with Internet traffic. B. Data inaccuracy for top research.
C. Potential harm to marine species. D. Need for more complicated skills.
15. How does the author think about such sensors?
A. Promising. B. Problematic. C. Objective. D. Unreliable.

True Champions
The district championship game against Apache was physical and intense. The Academy girls basketball team was in a weaker position, and their coach, Brendan King knew they’d have to play their absolute best for a chance at winning. Scoring was back and forth until the fourth quarter, when Apache pulled away by 14 points with four minutes on the clock.
For Academy players, this was their last shot at a title — most were seniors. King called one last timeout. “If we want to make one final push to win this game, this is the time to do it,” he told his players.
Academy came out of the timeout with new energy, playing as if they had nothing to lose, sinking shot after shot to pull within a few points of Apache. Then Lily Payne hit a 3-point buzzer-beater (投压哨球) to top Apache by one point for the school’s first-ever district championship. The crowd rushed the court as players dogpiled on top of one another. Among cheers and celebration, the championship trophy (奖杯) was presented to Academy.
But King walked to the locker room with a sinking feeling. Late that night, King sat down at his kitchen table with the game tape, calculating every point on a notepad. His gut (直觉), it turned out, was right. By his count, Academy had actually lost the game by a point. In the fourth quarter, just before the referee stopped the game, an Academy shot went up and rolled around the edge. The crowd roared, sure that it was bound to drop into the basket...but then it didn’t. The record keeper, with a poor angle, thought it had gone in.
Depressed but relieved to know the truth, King went to bed.
On Sunday morning, King called and needed the girls back at the gym. They knew something wasn’t right. Their coach never contacted them on a Sunday.
