真题再现
We like the unique nature of that software. It means that a thief likely wouldn’t be able to Google how the system works, then figure out a way around it.
Even if they could, SimpliSafe claims that its system is always evolving, and that it varies slightly from system to system, which means there wouldn’t be a universal magic formula for cracking it.
Other systems also seem confident on the subject of jamming. The team at Frontpoint addresses the issue in a blog on its site, citing their own jam protection software and claiming that there aren’t any documented cases of successful jam attack since the company began offering wireless security sensors in the 1980s.

原文阅读翻译
我们喜欢这种软件的独特性。这意味着，盗贼无法再网上查出其系统如何运作，并据此想出破解方法。
即便能破解，SimpliSafe声称他们的系统在不断优化升级，系统与系统之间存在微妙差别，并不存在能破解系统的万能钥匙。
其他系统在防干扰方面也显得很有自信。Frontpoint的团队在其网站的博客上表示，他们自己的防干扰保护软件就可以解决这个问题，并声称自20世纪80年代，公司开始出售无线安保传感器后，就没有出现过干扰成功的案例。

2. It means that /a thief likely wouldn’t /be able to /Google /how the system works, then/ figure out /a way around it.
这意味着，盗贼无法再网上查出其系统如何运作，并据此想出破解方法。
解析：
1) that引导宾语从句，Google是浏览器，此处指代上网搜索。
2) find a way around sth 找到一个迂回的办法达到目的。
3. Even if /they could, SimpliSafe claims/ that /its system /is always evolving, and that it /varies slightly /from system to system, which /means /there wouldn’t be /a universal magic formula /for cracking it.
即便能破解，SimpliSafe声称他们的系统在不断优化升级，系统与系统之间存在微妙差别，并不存在能破解系统的万能钥匙。
解析：
1) 注意even if与even though的区别：
even if 一般引导的是把握不大或假设的事情。
even though 引出的是事实。
