D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要提供了一系列的工作岗位信息，包括职位名称、工作地点、薪资待遇、工作时间、经验要求以及申请方式等，目的是为求职者提供选择并鼓励他们申请。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Waiter required部分中的“Experienced waiters only(只招有经验的服务员)”可知，服务员只招有经验的，而Cleaner、Driver中是“No experience needed(无需工作经验)”，Support Worker这个岗位未作说明。所以需要有经验人员的工作是服务员。故选A。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Cleaner needed部分中的“Working on Monday, Wednesday to Saturday 4:30 pm — 6 pm(工作时间为周一、周三至周六：下午4点30分至6点)”可知，清洁工的工作时间是下午4点30分到6点，所以要做清洁工需要在这个时间段工作。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Support Worker wanted部分中的careers@golden-care.com(邮箱：careers@golden-care.com)可知，要获得护工工作需要发送邮件到 careers@golden-care.com。故选D。 B A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (磕瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said. I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed. When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making. I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem. It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all kinds of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy (美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition. 14. What did the writer become aware of? A. She had ever typed a report about seeds. B. She had various snacks while watching TV. C. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. D. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds. 15. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year? A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it. C. The families get together for it. D. Children can eat delicious food on that day. 16. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is _________. A. neutral(中立的) B. critical(批评的) C. acceptable D. doubtful 17. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. B. It is good to form healthy eating habits. C. Eating habits come from a certain culture. D. Changing your eating habits will change your life. 【答案】14. D 15. B 16. C 17. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过作者嗑瓜子的习惯让作者意识到一个人的饮食习惯可以反映出自身的文化背景。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds.(我从来没有注意到这个习惯，但他一提起，我就突然意识到了。我意识到，每当我看电视或打报告时，我总是开始无意识地嗑瓜子)”可知，作者意识到自己有嗑瓜子的习惯。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making.(当我们小的时候，全家通常会聚在一起过春节。那时，我们都住得很近，通常住在一个小城市，有时甚至邻居也会在除夕夜挨家挨户地看看每家都在做什么)”以及第四段“I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then.(那时候我一定学会了怎么嗑瓜子)”可知，作者提到中国新年是为了证明吃葵花籽和它有关。故选B。 【16题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I think it’s a wonderful tradition.(我认为这是一个很棒的传统)”可知，作者对丹麦吃面包的方式的态度是可接受的。故选C。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文特别是根据最后一段“When I went abroad, I found people had all kinds of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy (美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture.(当我出国时，我发现人们在食物方面有各种奇怪的习惯。在丹麦，他们把咸鱼放在面包上当晚餐吃，不管它会多么破坏你的呼吸。他们认为这是一种美味，与他们的特定文化有关)”可知，文章告诉我们饮食习惯来自某种文化。故选C。 C For many years, school children in the US have taken on “field trips” to cultural institutions such as museums of art. Educators arrange them in the belief that schools exist not only to teach economically useful skills, but also to produce civilized young people who appreciate the art and culture. While there are parents who will take their children to cultural places in their free time, there are plenty of other children who will never have this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it. So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage. However, the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing, with the number of tours organized for school groups falling significantly in museums all around the country. The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. Because there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities aren’t cheap, schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have. Faced with this dilemma, field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as a luxury. Additionally, the nature of these field days is also changing. Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning. This shift could have a basis in generational differences between teachers’ reasons for organizing days out of school. A recent survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were significantly more likely to take the primary purpose of a field trip as a learning experience than younger teachers, who view it as fun. Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on children’s development. A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of art and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future. The researchers warn that if schools cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations, valuable opportunities to broaden and enrich children’s learning experiences are lost. 18. What is the initial purpose of field trips to cultural institutions? A. To leach students useful skills in economics. B. To make every student exposed to art and culture. C. To educate students to preserve cultural heritage. D. To encourage parents to take their children there. 19. Which factor most probably leads to the trend of fewer field trips? A. The drop in school funds. B. Students’ demand for fun. C. The dilemma of school finance. D. Teachers’ generational differences. 20. What does the underlined phrase “This shift” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The switch from old generations to young generations. B. The switch from sporting events to cultural experiences. C. The change from an opportunity to learn to a treat to entertain. D. The change from educational destinations to luxurious attractions. 21. What can be inferred about field trips from the research by Jay Greene? A. Students are rewarded with more cultural knowledge. B. Amusement parks enrich children’s learning experiences. C. Cutting field trips is critical to the future of the museum. D. Field trips guarantee better future academic performance. 【答案】18. B 19. C 20. C 21. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。短文介绍了美国的学生被带到艺术博物馆等文化机构进行“实地考察”给学生带来的好处及这些活动减少的原因。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage. (所以你可以说，带学生实地考察是一种让每个人都能平等获得文化遗产的手段)”可知，学校设置实地考察的最初目的就是为了让每个人都能平等地获得文化遗产。即让每一个学生都能接触到文化艺术。故选B。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. Because there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities aren’t cheap, schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have.(最明显的原因是金融问题。因为对他们的资金的需求越来越大，毕竟，电脑和体育设施都不便宜，学校被迫做出一个艰难的选择，关于如何使用他们有限的钱)”可知，实地考察数量减少的原因就是财政问题，即：经费困难。故选C。 【20题详解】 词句猜测题。根据所猜词前一句“Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning.(学校越来越多地把去游乐园或参加体育活动作为对待学生的方式，而不是学习文化的机会)”可知，学校让学生去游乐园或参加体育活动进行娱乐，而放弃学习文化的机会。由此可知，This shift指的是从一个学习的机会变成了一种娱乐 。故选C。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future.(Arkansas大学Jay Greene领导的一项研究发现，参观艺术博物馆的学生大大提高了他们对艺术的知识和批判性思考能力。他们也表现出更强的历史兴趣，更有可能在未来参观文化场所)”可知，Arkansas大学的Jay Greene的研究表明通过参观艺术博物馆可以培养学生们艺术的知识和批判性思考，同时还会养成对历史的兴趣。由此可推知，学生们所得到的回报就是更多的文化意识。故选A。 D Up until recently, 16-year-old Esraa Elsharkawy had doubts about artificial intelligence (AI). “I just thought AI was just kind of off-putting,” she says. She worried the technology would take jobs away from humans, and she didn’t understand how it worked, but she wanted to learn more. The only problem: She couldn’t get that kind of education at her high school in Katy, Texas. For years, research has shown a digital divide in schools’ teaching about new technologies. For example, rich suburban schools are more likely to have computer science classes than poorer urban and rural districts. A free summer camp AI4All at Princeton University wanted to help close the gap: it invited about30 high schoolers from low-income families to spend three weeks living on campus, learning about the math that powers generative AI and work together with Princeton teachers to build AI solutions for real-world issues: from drone (无人机)-based wildfire monitoring to medical problem-solving. At Princeton, campers worked on AI solutions to real-life challenges in medicine, robotics and environmental science. On a mid-July afternoon, AI4All campers sat in a group inside a lecture hall and listened closely to Princeton professor Jaime Fernández Fisac as he explained how AI could help drones fly better. The concepts were very difficult, but the high schoolers were following along. Elsharkawy attended the camp and said the experience changed her idea of AI. She said theAI4All program “definitely helps with the digital divide.” Ryan Chou, from California, called the camp a “small but impactful” step and wanted it expanded. Public K-12 teachers see both benefits and risks in AI, according to a survey. A majority of those surveyed believe AI will improve accessibility of learning materials for students with disabilities. Still,40% of them say they don’t use AI at all. And more than half of the 40% believe weekly use of AI by students would decrease their ability to think independently and critically. 22. What does the underlined word “off-putting” mean in paragraph 1? A. Unsettling. B. Disappointing. C. Promising. D. Relaxing. 23. What’s the goal of the camp? A. To introduce AI to young learners. B. To improve AI education. C. To apply AI in math learning. D. To address digital divide. 24. How did the campers react to the AI courses? A. They engaged in the courses actively. B. They showed respect for professors. C. They enjoyed the teaching methods. D. They had trouble following the lessons. 25. What is the best title for the passage? A. Princeton Professors Inspire the Next Generation of Engineers B. The Risks and Benefits of AI in High School Education C. Bridging the Digital Divide Through Summer Camp D. How Generative AI Is Changing Education 【答案】22. A 23. D 24. A 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了由于学校在新技术教学方面存在数字鸿沟，普林斯顿大学举办免费夏令营AI4All，邀请低收入家庭的高中生参加，旨在缩小数字鸿沟。 【22题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段““I just thought AI was just kind of off-putting,” she says. She worried the technology would take jobs away from humans, and she didn’t understand how it worked (“我只是觉得人工智能有点off-putting，”她说。她担心这项技术会抢走人类工作，而且她不了解它是如何工作的)”可知，埃斯拉·埃尔沙卡维对人工智能存在担忧，觉得它令人不安，故划线词off-putting与A选项“Unsettling.(令人不安的)”意思相近。故选A项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“For years, research has shown a digital divide in schools’ teaching about new technologies. For example, rich suburban schools are more likely to have computer science classes than poorer urban and rural districts.(多年来，研究表明，学校在新技术教学方面存在数字鸿沟。例如，富裕的郊区学校比贫穷的城市和农村地区更有可能开设计算机科学课程)”和第三段“A free summer camp AI4All at Princeton University wanted to help close the gap (普林斯顿大学的免费夏令营AI4All想要帮助缩小这一差距)”可知，该夏令营的目标是解决数字鸿沟问题。故选D项。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“On a mid-July afternoon, AI4All campers sat in a group inside a lecture hall and listened closely to Princeton professor Jaime Fernández Fisac as he explained how AI could help drones fly better. The concepts were very difficult, but the high schoolers were following along.(7月中旬的一个下午，AI4All的营员们坐在演讲厅里，认真聆听普林斯顿大学教授杰米·费尔南德斯·菲萨克解释人工智能如何帮助无人机更好地飞行。这些概念非常难，但这些高中生们都在认真听讲)”可知，营员们积极参与课程。故选A项。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“A free summer camp AI4All at Princeton University wanted to help close the gap: it invited about30 high schoolers from low-income families to spend three weeks living on campus, learning about the math that powers generative AI and work together with Princeton teachers to build AI solutions for real-world issues: from drone (无人机)-based wildfire monitoring to medical problem-solving.(普林斯顿大学一个名为“AI4All”的免费夏令营希望能缩小这一差距：该活动邀请了约 30 名来自低收入家庭的高中生在校园内生活三周，学习支撑生成式人工智能的数学知识，并与普林斯顿大学的教师合作，针对现实问题构建人工智能解决方案 —— 从基于无人机的野火监测到医疗问题解决)”可知，文章围绕普林斯顿大学的夏令营AI4All展开，讲述其旨在通过夏令营缩小学校在新技术教学方面的数字鸿沟，C选项“Bridging the Digital Divide Through Summer Camp(通过夏令营缩小数字鸿沟)”能概括文章主旨,为最佳标题。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Studying abroad is full of adventures—everything is different and exciting.

(相反，来自您祖国的小纪念品是一个很好的破冰方式。)”，此处的Instead表下文与上文为转折关系，带一份贴心的礼物，来自您祖国的小小的纪念品就可以，所以，不必花大价钱去买礼物，C项“You don’t have to spend a fortune on it (你不必花很多钱)”，其中的it指代gift，上下文衔接连贯，故选C项。 【27题详解】 本段小标题为Respect the schedule，根据上文“Even though you paid for your stay, you’re still part of a family that is not yours —respect their schedules. If the meals are at 7 p. m., make sure you are on time. (即使您支付了住宿费用，您仍然是这个不属于您的家庭的一员——尊重他们的时间表。如果用餐时间是晚上7 点，请确保您准时。)”可知，此处用吃晚饭的实例来说明“如何尊重寄宿家庭的时间表”，G项“You must let your host family know in advance if you can't arrive on time. (如果您不能准时到达，您必须提前通知您的寄宿家庭。)”，G项承接上文，解释如果不能按时来吃晚饭，应怎么操作。上下文衔接连贯，故选G项。 【28题详解】 本段小标题为Attend the family meals，根据上文“Most host programs will give you the choice to include meals in your homestay. It’s highly recommended that you join your family for at least one meal each day. (大多数房东计划都会让您选择在寄宿家庭中包括膳食。强烈建议您每天至少与家人一起用餐。)”，下文“You can also enjoy the conversations that meals inspire. (你也可以享受美食带来的对话。)”，根据also可知，推荐和寄宿家庭一起吃饭带来的原因应该有两个理由，设空处为第一个，D项“This can help you taste home—made local food (这可以帮助你品尝当地自制的食物)”，其中的home—made local food呼应family meals，上下文衔接连贯，D项承上启下，故选D项。 【29题详解】 本段小标题为Be fair and honest when problems arise.，此处讲述“一旦和寄宿家庭出现问题”的建议，根据下文“Nobody can avoid it. (没有人能避免它。)”，F项“Whenever people live together, there’s room for conflict. (只要人们住在一起，就有冲突的空间。)”，下文承接F项，下文的it指代F项中的conflict，语意一致，故选F项。 【30题详解】 此处考查小标题。根据下文“When it comes time to leave, you might be feeling some relief about getting back to a more familiar home. Do remember to make an effort to express your thanks to the family for letting you into their home and sharing their lives with you. (当说到要离开的时候，你可能会因为回到一个更熟悉的家而感到些许宽慰。一定要记得努力表达你对他们的感谢，感谢他们让你进入他们的家，和你分享他们的生活。)”可知，本段与“分别”有关，介绍了你即将离开寄宿家庭时的感受和做法，B项“Express your gratitude before leaving (在离开之前表达你的感激之情)”，leaving为复现词，Express your gratitude呼应express your thanks to the family，上下文衔接连贯，语意一致。故选B项。 第三部分 完形填空(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was a cool autumn morning.

B A British friend told me he couldn’t understand why Chinese people love eating sunflower seeds (磕瓜子) as a snack so much. “I’ve met a lot of older Chinese and many have a crack in their front teeth; I believe that’s from cracking the seeds,” he said. I had never noticed the habit, but once he mentioned it, I suddenly became more aware. I realized that whenever I’m watching TV or typing a report, I always start mindlessly cracking sunflower seeds. My friend doesn’t like sunflower seeds, and, to him, it seems unnecessary to work so much just to get one small seed. When we were young, the whole family would usually get together for Chinese New Year. Then, we all lived close to one another, usually in a small city, and sometimes even neighbors would go door-to-door on Chinese New Year’s Eve to check out what every household was making. I remember my parents would be in the kitchen cooking. Out in the living room, a large table would already be laid out, complete with fancy tablecloth, ready-made dumpling fillings, and dishes full of candy, fruits and sunflower seeds. Some of the dishes were to be offered to our ancestors later, while others were for neighbors and children to eat before the evening feast. I must have learned how to crack sunflower seeds back then. I don’t think it’s right to criticize one’s choice in food or eating habits, no matter how strange they may seem. It’s not only in China. When I went abroad, I found people had all kinds of strange habits when it came to food. In Denmark, they put salted red fish on bread and eat it for dinner, no matter how much it ruins your breath. They think it’s a delicacy (美味佳肴), and it’s connected to their certain culture. I think it’s a wonderful tradition. 14. What did the writer become aware of? A. She had ever typed a report about seeds. B. She had various snacks while watching TV. C. She damaged her teeth by eating sunflower seeds. D. She had a habit of cracking sunflower seeds. 15. What does the writer prove by mentioning Chinese New Year? A. The traditions of celebrating it disappear. B. Eating sunflower seeds is related to it. C. The families get together for it. D. Children can eat delicious food on that day. 16. The writer’s attitude to Denmark’s way of eating bread is _________. A. neutral(中立的) B. critical(批评的) C. acceptable D. doubtful 17. What lesson can we learn from the story? A. One kind of food doesn’t necessarily suit everyone. B. It is good to form healthy eating habits. C. Eating habits come from a certain culture. D. Changing your eating habits will change your life. C For many years, school children in the US have taken on “field trips” to cultural institutions such as museums of art. Educators arrange them in the belief that schools exist not only to teach economically useful skills, but also to produce civilized young people who appreciate the art and culture. While there are parents who will take their children to cultural places in their free time, there are plenty of other children who will never have this kind of opportunity unless schools offer it. So you could say that taking school students on field trips is a means of giving everyone equal access to their cultural heritage. However, the attitude towards field trips in recent years is changing, with the number of tours organized for school groups falling significantly in museums all around the country. The most obvious reason is the issue of finance. Because there are increasing demands on their funds, after all, computers and sports facilities aren’t cheap, schools are forced to make a difficult choice about how to spend the limited money they have. Faced with this dilemma, field trips are an obvious thing to cut since they are seen by many as a luxury. Additionally, the nature of these field days is also changing. Schools increasingly use trips to amusement parks or sporting events as a treat for students rather than an opportunity for cultural learning. This shift could have a basis in generational differences between teachers’ reasons for organizing days out of school. A recent survey conducted among 500 Arkansas teachers showed that older teachers were significantly more likely to take the primary purpose of a field trip as a learning experience than younger teachers, who view it as fun. Some evidence shows the trend of fewer trips may have a negative effect on children’s development. A research led by Jay Greene at Arkansas University found that students who received a tour of an art museum greatly improved their knowledge of art and the ability to think critically about art. They also display stronger historical interest and were more likely to visit cultural places in the future. The researchers warn that if schools cut field trips or switch to less educational destinations, valuable opportunities to broaden and enrich children’s learning experiences are lost. 18. What is the initial purpose of field trips to cultural institutions? A. To leach students useful skills in economics. B. To make every student exposed to art and culture. C. To educate students to preserve cultural heritage. D. To encourage parents to take their children there. 19. Which factor most probably leads to the trend of fewer field trips? A. The drop in school funds. B. Students’ demand for fun. C. The dilemma of school finance. D. Teachers’ generational differences. 20. What does the underlined phrase “This shift” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. The switch from old generations to young generations. B. The switch from sporting events to cultural experiences. C. The change from an opportunity to learn to a treat to entertain. D. The change from educational destinations to luxurious attractions. 21. What can be inferred about field trips from the research by Jay Greene? A. Students are rewarded with more cultural knowledge. B. Amusement parks enrich children’s learning experiences. C. Cutting field trips is critical to the future of the museum. D. Field trips guarantee better future academic performance. D Up until recently, 16-year-old Esraa Elsharkawy had doubts about artificial intelligence (AI). “I just thought AI was just kind of off-putting,” she says. She worried the technology would take jobs away from humans, and she didn’t understand how it worked, but she wanted to learn more. The only problem: She couldn’t get that kind of education at her high school in Katy, Texas. For years, research has shown a digital divide in schools’ teaching about new technologies. For example, rich suburban schools are more likely to have computer science classes than poorer urban and rural districts. A free summer camp AI4All at Princeton University wanted to help close the gap: it invited about30 high schoolers from low-income families to spend three weeks living on campus, learning about the math that powers generative AI and work together with Princeton teachers to build AI solutions for real-world issues: from drone (无人机)-based wildfire monitoring to medical problem-solving. At Princeton, campers worked on AI solutions to real-life challenges in medicine, robotics and environmental science. On a mid-July afternoon, AI4All campers sat in a group inside a lecture hall and listened closely to Princeton professor Jaime Fernández Fisac as he explained how AI could help drones fly better. The concepts were very difficult, but the high schoolers were following along. Elsharkawy attended the camp and said the experience changed her idea of AI. She said theAI4All program “definitely helps with the digital divide.” Ryan Chou, from California, called the camp a “small but impactful” step and wanted it expanded. Public K-12 teachers see both benefits and risks in AI, according to a survey. A majority of those surveyed believe AI will improve accessibility of learning materials for students with disabilities. Still,40% of them say they don’t use AI at all. And more than half of the 40% believe weekly use of AI by students would decrease their ability to think independently and critically. 22. What does the underlined word “off-putting” mean in paragraph 1? A. Unsettling. B. Disappointing. C. Promising. D. Relaxing. 23. What’s the goal of the camp? A. To introduce AI to young learners. B. To improve AI education. C. To apply AI in math learning. D. To address digital divide. 24. How did the campers react to the AI courses? A. They engaged in the courses actively. B. They showed respect for professors. C. They enjoyed the teaching methods. D. They had trouble following the lessons. 25. What is the best title for the passage? A. Princeton Professors Inspire the Next Generation of Engineers B. The Risks and Benefits of AI in High School Education C. Bridging the Digital Divide Through Summer Camp D. How Generative AI Is Changing Education 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Studying abroad is full of adventures—everything is different and exciting.
