Seven children line up, awaiting their turn n a slide. As each child rushes dwn, the nes behind laugh and cheer. Such scene is rare in Lags, ne f Africa’s fastest-grwing cities, with a ppulatin f abut 17 millin. But n the city’s utskirts, a garbage-site-turned-park is prviding rm fr kids t play. The prject is the brainchild f 17-year-ld Amara Nwuneli, wh wants t prve that even in Lags’ mst crwded crners, children can have fun.
Fr Amara, the path t building parks began when a terrible fld struck her hmetwn in 2020. Heavy rains swallwed entire neighbrhds, leaving thusands f families hmeless. “Peple just said it was gvernment failure r bad luck.” Amara recalls. But, later, she realized it was what was called Nigeria’s “climate apathy”: the tendency t view flds, heat waves, and drughts as islated (孤立的) incidents rather than cnsequences f a warming planet.
“I wanted t change the mindset,” Amara says. “If peple dn’t feel cnnected t nature, they wn’t fight t prtect it. And I knew that had t start with creating spaces peple culd actually see and feel.”
It was n easy task. Amara first apprached the Lags State Gvernment, which ffered land but impsed (施加) restrictins that made lng-term cnstructin impssible. After mnths f dead ends, she shifted strategy and started lking fr alternative spaces that were accessible t high-risk cmmunities. Eventually, Amara secured a garbage site. She then mbilized a team f artists, vlunteers, and small dnrs t clear the trash and rebuild the site with recycled materials. Three mnths later, the park pened.
Amara is nw planning tw mre parks. She says cmmunities frm acrss the cuntry have been reaching ut t her team fr advice n hw t reclaim abandned spaces fr public use. “That creates a kind f cycle,” Amara reflects. “I take actin, thers ntice, they want t take actin, t. And tgether, it grws.”
4. What might be a prblem Lags is facing?
A. Insufficient public areas.B. Pr garbage management.
C. Limited recreatinal activities.D. Uncntrlled ppulatin grwth.
5. What made Amara determined t build parks?
A. Lsses frm natural disasters.
B. Peple’s ignrance f climate change.
C. Disappintment in gvernment failure.
D. Nigeria’s inadequacy in public educatin.
6. What quality des Amara demnstrate when cmpleting the prject?
A. Integrity.B. Optimism.C. Flexibility.D. Cnfidence.
7. What des Amara want t cnvey in the last paragraph?
A. Small steps make a big difference.B. Every clud has a silver lining.
C. All rads lead t Rme.D. It is never t late t act.

Researchers frm the University f Buens Aires have successfully used a rbtic tutr t teach the male chingl, a kind f small bird in Suth America, a sng that was nce part f the species’ culture but had been lst fr mre than half a century.
Male chingls learn their unique, tw-secnd meldy frm adult males. “It is a distinctive sng — like a fingerprint, but learned,” says ne f the researchers. “It serves t attract females and prtect territry. It is the bird’s way f saying, “This is me, and here I am.” Hwever, urbanizatin and habitat lss have brken this learning chain, causing lcal sng “dialects” t disappear.
Driven by this prblem, researchers tk n a pineering task: bringing back a sng that had disappeared frm the wild — knwn nly frm a musical recrd made in the 1960s — t a ppulatin f chingls.
Using physics-based mdeling f the bird’s vcal tract (声道) , the team first created an accurate artificial versin f the lst sng. They then engineered this mdel int a physical device designed t bradcast the frgtten meldy — a “rbtic tutr.” This artificial sng was intrduced t the chingls in the park during their critical learning perid frm Octber t February. The sessins tk place during peak singing hurs and were limited t a maximum f eight hurs. There were randm pauses (停顿) in between s that the birds interpreted the playback frm the three devices placed in the area as a real exchange, as if these devices were respnding t each ther. This stimulated the birds’ vcal respnses.
The results were impressive. Yung chingls learned and adpted the sng, thugh they added their wn ppulatin’s “accent” t the final trill (颤音) , which shwed that their singing is shaped by learned behavirs and inbrn characteristics.
“This is abut preserving nt just genetic, but cultural bidiversity,” says anther researcher. The team is nw develping AI systems t autmatically identify individual bird sngs and planning t study cultural spread in bird ppulatins t ensure that bird culture is nt lst again.
8. Why did the researchers teach the birds the sng?
A. T save an endangered species.B. T study the birds’ brain structure.
C. T develp new rbtic devices.D. T preserve the birds’ cultural heritage.
9. What is a rle f chingls’ sng?
A. It keeps hunters away frm them.B. It helps them adapt t urban grwth.
C. It functins as their scial identity.D. It makes them remember their habitat.
10. What is the purpse f the randm pauses?
A. T prtect the birds’ vcal tract.B. T test the birds’ reactin speed.
C. T push the birds t catch the beat.D. T trick the birds int interactin.
11. What can we learn frm chingls’ learning results?
A. The sng has spread t ther bird species.B. Their singing shws special vcal features.
C. Their respnse t the sng needs imprving.D. The effectiveness depends n their ppulatin.
D
Secret cdes (密码) nce thught impssible t crack nw face a challenge frm quantum cmputers. Luckily, t prtect infrmatin, physicists have develped a theretically flprf system called device-independent quantum key distributin (DI-QKD) , which uses entangled quantum particles (纠缠态量子粒子) t fix weak pints in existing methds. Nw, a team in China has demnstrated the technique in real city cnditins, an advance that culd clear the way fr a secure quantum internet in which trust is taken fr granted.
Mst cryptgraphy (密码学) wrks by encrypting messages with a secret cde that requires a special key t decde. The challenge lies in making sure the key can’t be decded when sent. Fr instance, the keys in ne ppular encryptin scheme are based n the prime factrs f large numbers, which take enrmus effrt t crack. But such calculatins culd be quick wrk fr the large quantum cmputers. QKD ffers a slutin, but it has a weakness: hardware must be perfect.
DI-QKD remves the need fr trust in the hardware, by emplying anther feature f quantum mechanics — entanglement — which clsely links prperties f widely separated quantum particles. If the sender and receiver entangle a pair f particles acrss the netwrk, they can each perfrm tests that cnfirm the particles’ prperties are strngly linked, well beynd chance. After this “handshake”, they can be sure they’re the nly nes n the channel. Then, ther measurements n the entangled particles can establish a key, which can be shared with cnfidence that nbdy can decde it.
In 2022, a UK-based team managed t create and share a DI-QKD key fr nly abut 2 meters. Nw, Jianwei Pan and his clleagues have extended this t practically useful distances. After cllecting data fr 26 days, they shwed they had the statistics t establish and share a key acrss 11 kilmeters. The researchers als shwed that in thery — and given abut 23 years fr data cllectin — they culd have sent a key acrss 100 kilmeters. Pan’s grup nw plans t explre ways t perfrm DI-QKD using satellites in space.
12. What is the advance made by Chinese scientists?
A. They put frward a cding thery.
B. They enhanced DI-QKD practicality.
C. They set up the quantum internet.
D. They discvered quantum entanglement.
13. The authr explains the encryptin principle by __________.
A. prviding a definitinB. making a cmparisn
C. giving an exampleD. citing a statement
14. What is the main idea f paragraph 3?
A. What entanglement is.
B. Hw DI-QKD wrks.
C. What prevents key sharing.
D. Hw particles cnnect.
15. What is the limitatin implied in the last paragraph?
A. Lng data cllectin time.
B. Strict labratry cnditins.
C. Unstable entangled particles.
D. Heavy reliance n satellites.

It was suppsed t be a perfect father-sn biking adventure. Sixteen-year-ld Tm and his dad had planned a 50-kilmeter bike ride thrugh the cuntryside t celebrate Tm’s birthday. The night befre, Tm was s excited that he culd barely sleep. His mind was full f images f the pen rad and the beautiful scenery they wuld encunter.
Befre leaving, Tm’s dad put n an ld silver watch. It was a family treasure passed dwn frm his grandpa. The watch’s glass was cracked, shwing its lng histry, but it still kept time accurately, standing as a symbl f the family’s tughness. “This watch has seen its share f tugh times, just like all f us,” his dad said, smiling at Tm. “But it keeps ging, and s will we.” Tm ndded, feeling clse t his dad when he lked at the watch.
In the warm mrning sun, they set ff. Their backpacks were filled with water, energy-bsting snacks and a first-aid kit fr any emergencies. Tm’s shiny red bike, which he had spent weeks cleaning and fixing, shne brightly in the sun. As they cycled alng the cuntry rads, the fresh smell f grass and wildflwers filled the air. Tm felt extremely happy and pedaled (踩踏板) even harder with excitement.
Hwever, as the mrning passed, the sun gradually disappeared behind thick dark cluds. By nn, a cld and heavy rain started t fall. The dry dirt path quickly turned int a muddy mess. Tm’s legs, which had been mving smthly just a few hurs ag, nw ached with every push f the pedals. He tk a deep breath and tried t fcus n the rhythm f his pedaling, trying t ignre the rain and the tiredness in his legs.
Althugh they were wet and uncmfrtable, they kept ging. They were determined nt t let the weather stp them. But when they turned a sharp crner, they saw a lng, steep slpe (斜坡). The rain was still puring heavily, and the path ahead lked very slippery with mud sliding dwn. Tm’s heart sank, and he began t dubt himself.
