In the list below, you’ll find a mix of summer AI programs in both in-person and online formats. These programs are dedicated to AI and generally tailored for teens. If your teens don’t have access to an in-person program in your local area, online learning is an excellent alternative. In-Person Camps There are numerous companies with a national reach that offer AI summer camps around the country. iD Tech, which kicked off AI summer camps a few years ago, has now expanded to deliver a variety of programs across the topics of robotics, game development, coding, digital arts, and more. Other companies offering AI camps include Lavner Education where teens program AI robots and explore tools like ChatGPT, the Coder School which targets kids’ interests, from video game development to robotics, and iCode School that offers different STEM classes with the latest hardware such as gaming computers, 3D printers, robotics, and even drones (无人机). But you don’t have to restrict your search to this list alone. There may be organizations in your community that offer AI camps, where you can search for programs to find even more. Online-Only Programs The Coding School offers a 5-week national AI research program for rising grades 9-12 and college freshmen. Throughout the program, mentors (导师) provide personal feedback to help students conduct research in AI and develop college-level projects and presentations. MehtA+, an educational institution, offers two summer camps in AI/ Machine Learning — an intensive 6-week machine learning research boot camp for grades 8-12. In the camps, students will be able to work closely with top university professors to complete an AI research project in the sciences or the humanities. Veritas AI, founded by Harvard graduate students, is an AI program for high school students. In the program, students learn the fundamentals of AI, interact with world-class AI practitioners, and build personalized projects that they can use for college applications and beyond. No coding skills are required, and the program has levels for advanced students. 1. Which of the following provides programs related to game development in In-Person Camps? A. iD Tech and Lavner Education. B. iCode School and the Coder School. C. iD Tech and the Coder School. D. Lavner Education and iCode School. 2. What do we know about Online-Only AI programs? A. They require programming skills. B. They are limited to 5 weeks at most. C. They offer interactions with AI experts. D. They are targeted at high school students. 3. Who is the text most likely written for? A. Educators. B. High school students. C. AI developers. D. Parents. B We were sailing on a white boat through the clear waters of Turks and Caicos. The view was so beautiful that even my teenage daughter, Kavya, paused her usual rudeness to admire the scenery and breathe in the salty air. Instead of relaxing by the pools, we had spent the previous day training for our big scuba (潜水) trip. We took a course with written tests and did two exhausting pool practices. Now, the moment had arrived. Our instructor was about to place the helmets (头盔) on our heads. I took a deep breath. This was it — my chance to connect with Kavya through a new experience, something we could finally share. But suddenly, Kavya pulled my arm. Her face showed the same worried look she had during math homework. I could sense her emotions tightening under her diving suit. Just as the instructor approached, she whispered, “Dad, can I quit?” The waves sounded louder, the gear (设备) heavier. Surprisingly, I didn’t say what I normally would: “Quitting is not an option!” I even stopped myself from thinking, “But this was my plan.” Trying to give her a gentle hug in the heavy gear only resulted in me splashing water all over her and making us both laugh awkwardly. When she was little, connecting with Kavya was effortless. I knew everything about her, and she always joined my adventures with pure excitement. But as she grew older, she discovered her own interests, drifting away from mine. What followed were sighs, eye-rolls, and half- hearted “I guess so” replies. I had hoped this scuba course would bring us closer again. I didn’t expect her quitting to hit me so hard or so suddenly. Even without the dive, we enjoyed our vacation. We swam, collected seashells, and played word games. In those slow, quiet moments, I realized joy isn’t only in big adventures. It wasn’t the moment of closeness I had imagined — but it turned out to be exactly the one we needed. 4. Why did the author train hard for the diving trip? A. To impress the instructor. B. To relax in natural beauty. C. To grow closer to his daughter. D. To challenge himself physically. 5. Which of the following best describes the author according to paragraph 3? A. Strict and determined. B. Insightful and inspiring. C. Resourceful and encouraging. D. Thoughtful and understanding. 6. Which could be a suggestion from the author to parents of teenagers? A. Be adaptive. B. Be courageous. C. Be protective. D. Be adventurous. 7. What key message is expressed in the story? A. Nature helps to bridge generation gaps. B. Bonding happens naturally in shared moments. C. Scheduled adventures ruin true happiness. D. Connections rely heavily on thoughtful planning. C Imagine you have a jigsaw puzzle with 10,000 pieces but no picture on a box. In fact, you don’t even have the box — it was destroyed nearly 2,000 years ago. These puzzle pieces are parts of wall paintings in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. How would you solve this puzzle? Scientists in Italy have a plan: send in the robot. Their project — RePAIR (Reconstructing the Past: Artificial Intelligence and Robotics meet Cultural Heritage) — combines robotics, AI (Artificial Intelligence) and archaeology in an attempt to reconstruct architectural features of Pompeii, because they’re either too difficult or would require impossible amounts of human labor and time. Over the next several months, the Italian researchers and their helpers will build, train, test and manage a robot to piece together ruined wall paintings in two buildings. If the project succeeds, the technology can be used to rebuild a variety of destroyed cultural artifacts whose rebuilding has remained “out of humans’ reach”. RePAIR’s robot must have a combination of brains, strength and a sensitive touch. The brains will come from a mix of high-tech computer vision to scan the puzzle pieces of wall paintings, machine-learning algorithms to solve the puzzles and human expertise to guide the AI. “We think that using an AI-based system will not be enough.” says Pelillo, whose group is developing the puzzle-solving AI together with another team at a university. The researchers are in the process of digitizing every piece of wall paintings in the two test sites to create a digital database for the RePAIR robot. Once the whole system is fully operational, “we’ll have the robot doing the scanning process itself, and humans are free to handle more difficult tasks. The idea is to work towards automating as much as possible this quite time-consuming and also boring activity of digitizing cultural heritage.” 8. Why does the author mention the jigsaw puzzle in paragraph 1? A. To express his doubts. B. To state his argument. C. To give an example. D. To introduce the topic. 9. What did the Italian researchers do to reconstruct the wall paintings? A. Make a difficult jigsaw puzzle. B. Work with leading archaeologists. C. Make use of advanced technology. D. Devote much human labor and time. 10. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. A team develops the AI robot independently. B. The digital database has been fully operational. C. Human intervention is irrelevant to the entire process. D. The robot aims to combine AI and digital-based systems. 11. Which word can best describe the researchers’ attitude toward RePAIR? A. Indifferent. B. Optimistic. C. Doubtful. D. Pessimistic. D From an early age, we tend to divide ourselves and others into opposing groups—such as “smart vs. dumb” in school or “rich vs. poor” in adulthood. This thinking is often used for simpler identification, but it carries significant risks. Once we assign people or ourselves to a group, several psychological effects take hold. First of all, the group members assume an identity. A label is placed on them, which over time achieves a level of permanency. For example, if you decide yourself as belonging to the “I’m really not creative” group, you tend to view yourself as primarily and permanently uncreative. The longer this belief lasts, the harder it is to change. Moreover, groups provide us with a false sense of comfort. By joining the “I’m not creative” group, we also conveniently protect ourselves from moving beyond the borders of that group into new and often unfamiliar areas. Like birds that hesitate to leave their cages even when the door is open, we eschew the desire to get out of our comfort zone—not because we can’t, but because we won’t. There are not just many like-minded people in the group, but it offers a safe environment to work and play. But the problem doesn’t end there. There is a tsunami of books and articles that use language such as the following: “Creative people are individuals like Leonardo, Edison, Picasso, or Einstein who have changed our culture in some important respects” and “Creative people are the ones who get ahead in their jobs, start new businesses, invent products... paint pictures, and make things of beauty.” When reading these statements, we automatically assign ourselves to that “other group”, knowing that we can never measure up. However, as psychological research has convincingly demonstrated, creativity is not exclusive to a select few; it is a birthright shared by everyone. So, be mindful of what you read. Sometimes, others may be putting you in a box without your knowing. 12. What does the text mainly discuss? A. Benefits of group identity. B. Ways to develop creativity. C. Harm in social categorization. D. Competitions between age groups. 13. What happens when people label themselves as uncreative? A. Their skills stop improving. B. Their mindset becomes fixed. C. They distrust pioneering ideas. D. They develop a stable personality. 14. What does the underlined word “eschew” probably mean in paragraph 3? A. Avoid. B. Analyze. C. Express. D. Channel. 15. What might the author suggest people do? A. Measure their creative skills. B. Judge creative claims critically. C. Study famous creators’ lives. D. Attend creative training programs. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Maintaining Rhythm and Happiness in Final Year For students navigating the intensity of final-year studies, happiness is a luxury that you cannot afford during this critical period. However, happiness is not the absence of stress, but a sense of controlled progress and inner peace cultivated within the demanding environment. ____16____ Why then should you prioritize the cultivation of happiness? In an age of prevalent stress, actively safeguarding this happiness is essential. Chronic anxiety and burnout impair cognitive function, and even hurt your academic performance. Research confirms that greater happiness is associated with better physical health, stronger resilience, and more fulfilling relationships. ____17____ To achieve this, begin with intentionally designing your daily rhythm. This means scheduling not only study sessions but also breaks. ____18____ These acts are not time wasted; they are strategic resets that prevent mental fatigue and sustain concentration. For instance, a ten-minute walk after a 90-minute study block can significantly clear mental fog, thus improving efficiency in the next session. ____19____ While academic goals are vital, defining your self-worth only by test scores is a fragile foundation. Instead, consciously connecting your daily effort to larger personal growth such as problem-solving skills fosters a better sense of accomplishment. This shift from a purely outcome-based to a process-oriented perspective transforms the journey into a source of satisfaction. In fact, maintaining your own rhythm in senior year is an act of wise self-management. It involves protecting your mental space through structured balance and reframing the purpose of your effort. ____20____ Then, you are empowered to perform at your best when it matters most. A. Perspective is key, too. B. Self-worth also matters. C. You’ll find all your stress disappear without a trace. D. It is a feeling of moving forward at a sustainable pace. E. They can be brief walks, mindful breathing, or a favorite hobby. F. Thus, investing in happiness can energize you in all aspects of our lives. G. By doing so, you’ll harvest both academic knowledge and sustainable happiness. 第三部分 语言运用（共2节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） After a day’s photo-taking in Ethiopia, I said goodbye to the local.

He had read the guidebooks and even learned basic Chinese greetings. However, nothing prepared him for a dramatic and confusing Chinese dinner bill fight. On a Friday evening, Mark invited two Chinese colleagues (同事), Li Wei and Director Zhang, to a hotpot dinner to celebrate the completion of a project. Since it was a casual outing, Mark had planned to go Dutch (split the bill), the standard and fair practice in Chicago. The meal was fantastic and the atmosphere was warm, filled with laughter and toasts to future success. As the meal wound down, Mark signaled the waiter over and asked him for the bill, intending to split the cost equally and pay his own share. Seeing this, Li Wei and Director Zhang exchanged surprised glances and practically leaped from their chairs. What followed was a scene of chaos that genuinely alarmed Mark. Both of the colleagues were physically blocking him from the waiter. And each of them was trying to pay for the dinner. “No, no, no! Mark! You are a guest in China. It’s my treat!” Li Wei insisted, his hand grabbing Mark’s arm with surprising strength. And Director Zhang, usually a quiet man, shouted loudly, “You are in Chengdu, my hometown. I should pay!” He already stuffed the money into the waiter’s hand. Mark felt a rush of confusion and annoyance. In America, financial independence is a virtue, and if someone pays for you, they seem to look down upon you. “Stop!” Mark said, his voice a little louder than he intended. The table went quiet. “Each pay his own way. OK?” Then he threw his share on the table heavily. His colleagues froze, looking awkward. The ride home was silent — Mark had finally followed his own way, but he couldn’t shake the feeling that he had lost something important. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next day, Mark asked Li Wei, “Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive (强势) last night?” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, to celebrate another project’s completion, the three went out for dumplings. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 山西大学附中 2025~2026学年第二学期高二（4月）期中考（总第二次） 英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Please don’t be too hard on yourself — everyone has moments of self-doubt, and you are not alone. In my opinion, true beauty lies within.

When you feel good about who you are inside, you will naturally want to share your real life. Believe me, your true friends care about you, not your looks. I hope you can accept yourself and live more freely. Yours , Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） 【47题答案】 【答案】 The next day, Mark asked Li Wei, “Why were you and Director Zhang so aggressive last night?” Li Wei smiled and explained gently that treating guests was a deep-rooted Chinese tradition, a way to show respect, hospitality and sincerity to friends. “We didn’t mean to be aggressive. It’s our way of valuing the friendship with you,” he added softly. Mark suddenly realized it was a cultural misunderstanding, not disrespect or looking down on him. He felt guilty and apologized for his rudeness the night before. Li Wei patted his shoulder warmly, saying it was no big deal and they all understood his habit. Weeks later, to celebrate another project’s completion, the three went out for dumplings. This time, Mark planned ahead. After the delicious meal, he playfully blocked Li Wei and Director Zhang before they could stand up, saying with a smile, “As your friend and colleague, let me treat you today — it’s my turn to show my sincerity!” The two laughed warmly and no longer insisted. They chatted happily over tea, with no awkwardness left. Mark deeply realized that respecting local customs was the key to building true cross-cultural bonds. The dinner ended with cheerful laughter, a beautiful blend of Eastern and Western cultures. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
