If your teen or middle-schooler is curious about AI, they now have many options for exploring the field. 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 communitythat 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.

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
A team led by the University of Cambridge have engineered a solar-powered “artificial leaf” that could eventually
help this vital industry move away from fossil fuels. Their breakthrough involves a new device that brings together
light-absorbing organic polymers and bacterial enzymes (酶) to transform sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into
formate, a clean fuel that can power additional chemical reactions.
This “artificial leaf” copies photosynthesis (光合作用), the natural process plants use to turn sunlight into energy
and operates entirely on its own power. Unlike previous designs that relied on poisonous or unstable light absorbers,
this new model uses non-poisonous materials, runs more efficiently, and remains stable without extra additives. This
marks the first instance where these non-poisonous materials have served as the light-catching component in such a
bio-hybrid system, preparing for a new generation of eco-friendly artificial leaves.
The chemical industry remains a cornerstone of the global economy, producing a vast range of goods — from
medicines to plastics, paints, electronics, and cleaning agents. “If we’re going to build a cyclic, sustainable economy,
the chemical industry is a big, complex problem that we must address,” said Professor Erwin Reisner from the
University of Cambridge’s Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry, who led the research.Tests showed the artificial leaf produced high currents and achieved near-perfect efficiency in directing electrons
into fuel-making reactions. The device successfully ran for over 24 hours: more than twice as long as previous designs.
The researchers are hoping to further develop their designs to extend the service life of the device and adapt it so it
can produce different types of chemical products.
“We’ve shown it’s possible to create solar-powered devices that are not only efficient and durable but also free
from poisonous or unsustainable components,” said Reisner. “This could be a fundamental platform for producing
green fuels and chemicals in future — it’s a real opportunity to do some exciting and important chemistry.”
8. What is the main purpose of the artificial leaf described in paragraph 1?
A. To create new materials. B. To produce clean fuel.
C. To cut carbon emissions. D. To absorb more sunlight.
9. What makes the artificial leaf different from earlier designs?
A. It depends on costly and rare additives. B. It combines natural and artificial materials.
C. It produces electricity and chemical fuels. D. It relies on safer and more efficient materials.
10. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The devices are still lack of efficiency. B. The potential is limited to lab applications.
C. The technology might have a bright future. D. The material choice may be a major concern.
11. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Solar Leaf for Green Chemistry B. Materials from the Plants’ Leaf
C. Fossil Fuels in Chemical Industry D. Sustainable Challenges in Economy
D
Have you ever wondered why certain songs or paintings feel deeply satisfying? Language expert Jay Keyser’s
research finds that repetition makes art speak to us.
Artists like jazz musician Duke Ellington and painter Andy Warhol purposefully use repetition — not simply as
copying, but as a clever “same, but different” skill. In Ellington’s Satin Doll, for example, the rhythm repeats while
the notes stay high or low, and the song’s words mirror this pattern. Warhol’s soup cans appear alike at first sight, yet
each design changes a little. This skill called “same/except” by Jay Keyser in his book Play it again, Sam — makes
art feel richer and more pleasant to our brains.
Interestingly, discovering repetition brings much more. Consider a photograph of the US city of Albuquerque
that is often discussed for its meaning. Look closer, and you may find that a dog sits in the center with a street sign
shadow to its right copying its shape. Recognizing this hidden pattern, as Keyser suggests, repays us with unexpected
pleasure and more. Training our eyes to notice such patterns — whether in poetry, paintings or songs — unlocks new
meaning.Why does repetition create such a connection? According to Keyser, science offers an answer: the mere exposure
effect (单纯曝光效应). Just as a baby grows fond of a mother’s face through repeated sights, we naturally develop a
liking for familiar patterns. Advertisers use this by repeating product names to build trust. Artists harness it too —
Warhol’s repeated cans or a song’s repeated catchy parts make us feel comforted and connected.
Keyser shows great art works with the brain’s makeup. When artists repeat certain parts with changes, the art is
in line with how our minds seek order, expect patterns, and gain joy from “finding” connections — though we are
not aware of it. By studying how artists skillfully apply the “same/except” skill across mediums, and by connecting
these choices with science, we gain the key to admiring creativity’s universal magic. This makes everyday experiences
with music, paintings, and words much richer.
12. What does the “same/except” skill focus on?
A. Non-traditional artistic styles.
B. Combining different art forms.
C. Repetition with slight variations.
D. Breaking all patterns completely.
13. What does the example of the Albuquerque photo highlight?
A. Fun designs attract more attention.
B. Admiring street art lifts one’s spirits.
C. Repetition enriches art experiences.
D. Famous art deserves lasting discussion.
14. What does the underlined word “harness” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Take advantage of. B. Turn down.
C. Have control of. D. Make out.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Art sometimes matches our mindset.
B. Science explains artistic techniques.
C. Artists use repetition unconsciously.
D. Creativity is the key to admiring art.

When I landed in a small town in New Zealand as an exchange student, I thought I was ready for everything
— new faces, language barriers, strange social patterns and even homesickness. Still, the smallest things made mefeel out of place.
Luckily, the Wilsons, my host family, did everything they could to help me settle in — driving me around,
sharing meals, and even letting me use their kitchen when. I. missed Chinese food. With their warmth and support,
everything seemed to fall into place.
But at school, small moments felt bigger than I’d imagined. In our first literature class, we discussed a
Hemingway story. Everyone jumped in actively, while I struggled to speak up. My desk-mate encouraged me,
“Next time, just speak up.” I nodded, forcing a bitter smile.
And just like that, I found myself in another cultural trap, Mrs. Wilson’s birthday dinner. At the table, I
answered politely but kept mostly to myself. Mrs. Wilson noticed my silence and gently asked, “You alright, sweet
girl? You’ re so quiet tonight.” My face reddened. Was my silence seen as cold, rather than polite?
That night, restless and wide awake, I wondered if I needed to laugh louder, speak faster; or hide parts of
myself just to feel I belonged. Questions flooded my mind, none with answers.
A few days later, our teacher announced there would be a Culture Festival next week. “You’ ll prepare a stand
to share your own culture — food, crafts, customs ... anything meaningful. You can not only display your culture
but also make it interactive, allowing people to try new things, learn traditional skills. or share stories and cultural
symbols,” she said. The class lit up with excitement. I sat frozen, mind racing: how could I share my traditions in
English? The thought made my stomach twisted (扭曲). Yet, I gathered myself with a deep breath and signed up.
After that, I threw myself wholeheartedly into preparations, until the day finally came.
注意：
（1）续写词数应为150个左右；
（2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
At the Culture Festival, I stood behind my stand, nervous but ready.
