Optional evening workshops will be held at small restaurants or other meeting places near the conference hotel. Meals and other costs are not included but are also optional. Locations will be announced at the conference site.

【解析】
这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了三种不同类型的夜间研讨会,并详细介绍了它们的时间,赞助商和研讨内容。
1.
细节理解题。根据Workshop 1: Student Network部分关键句“Student members of the SEB hold a networking mixer each year in order to meet each other and to become familiar with a variety of educational programs and faculty advisors (大学指导老师).”可知,每年举办网络聚会的目的是学生成员能够见到彼此,熟悉各种教育项目和大学指导老师。由此可推断出help the students to be familiar with educational programs(帮助学生熟悉教育项目)是每年举办网络聚会的目的之一。故选D项。
2.
细节理解题。根据文章内容可知Workshop 1: Student Network的举办时间是Wednesday evening, Feb. 5th(2月5日,星期三晚上);Workshop 2: Botanical Film Making的举办时间是Wednesday evening, Feb. 5th(2月5日,星期三晚上);Workshop 3: Collections for Botany的举办时间是Friday evening, Feb. 7th(2月7日,星期五晚上)。由此可推断出2月5日有两场研讨会,2月7日有一场,故参与者在2月5日比2月7日多了一个选择。故选B项。
3.
细节理解题。根据Botanical Film Making部分关键句“Digital film making is a particularly useful tool of linking cultural information to recognizable plants.”可知,这个研讨会中涉及到的数字电影制作是一个有用的工具,能够把文化信息与可识别的植物连接起来。再根据关键句“Experienced filmmakers are encouraged to attend”可知,这个研讨会鼓励有经验的电影人参加。由此可知,如果你是一个大学生,对植物感兴趣且擅长拍摄电视照片,可以来参加Botanical Film Making。故选A项。
