The company simply went through serious changes,and my position was no longer needed. They were great to me when I worked there, and theygave me a small severance package(辞退补偿.) I was 55 at the time. I was more than a bitanxiety-ridden, as I wasn t in a position to retire, and I was concerned about the prospects ofbeing rehired at this age. The good news is that I was a saver, had no debt and always livedsimply. My husband s job carried the benefits.I woke up every morning at 4 a.m. to consider how best to use my resources, and endedup starting a small business. Once I started, I made mistakes and messed things up, but kepteducating myself more and more. There were tough times that were not easy to get through,but I managed to keep going.After about 18 months, it was working! Everything fell into place, and the train finallystarted going down the track! Now, I wake up each day and think, “I own a small business!”4My husband even took early retirement to partner with me.While we are not making $1 million we have crossed over into six digits(数位)over thepast few years. We run our business out of a home office. And I offer a service based on myknowledge from my previous job that I lost.Now several times a month, friends and former workmates reach out to us to ask howthey can also get started like what we do. Though we re busy, we take the time to talk withthem sometimes. I know they really need help.Nowadays it s easy to lose our jobs.

This December, he released a translation of the full poem, evenmaking adjustments to his original Inferno. “The rhythm or pattern of the poem seemedlooser,” Palma said, so he revised it.5For this new translation, Palma aimed to stick to Dante’s terza rima rhyme pattern. In theoriginal, the first and third lines rhyme, and the second line sets up the rhyme for the nextgroup. Here’s how Palma’s version of Canto 1 of Purgatorio starts: “Right now, my smallboat of wisdom raises its sails, ready to sail through the dangerous waters and leave this roughsea behind.”Approaching the translation this way is challenging as one can’t focus on just three linesat a time. Many English translations use free poetry or a looser rhyme, which Palma admitscan be good. But he believes not reproducing the rhymes means losing much of the poem’ssound and music. He also thinks it fails to show readers what Dante did.Palma isn’t the first to attempt this. So, what’s the value in another translation of TheDivine Comedy Joseph Luzzi, a literature professor, said translation is a form ofautobiography, which has no fixed rules.Luzzi recently published his translation of Dante’s Vita Nuova, a less-known work. Itportrays a young Dante’s experience. In these works, themes like love, the exploration ofhuman nature, and the pursuit of self-improvement are noticeable. Translating his work keepsit alive, and its relevance is clear.We can learn from these translations and discussions that literature has the power toconnect different times and cultures. It encourages us to think deeply, explore different waysof expression, and continuously improve our understanding and appreciation of the world.26. Which of the following words best describes Palma’s translation of Dante’s Inferno A. Imaginative. B. Faithful. C.Innovative . D. Complex.27. What was the main difficulty Palma faced in his new translation A.It was pattern-challenging. B. It was culture-bound.C. It was time-consuming. D. It was word-limited.28. Which of the following statements is Luzzi most likely to agree with A.Translation is not applicable to less-known works.B. Translation demands strict pattern.C. Translation changes outdated themes.D. Translation is a self-reflective act.29. What is the main purpose of the passage A. To compare different translation methods of Dante’s works.B. To analyze the challenges of preserving poetic rhythm in translation.C. To highlight the cultural and timeless value of translating literature.6D. To introduce two scholars’ contributions to Dantean studies.DEvery time AI drafts an e-mail or an image, the planet pays for it. Making two imagescan consume as much energy as charging a smartphone. By 2027, the global AI industry couldannually consume as much electricity as the Netherlands. And a new study identifies anotherconcern: generative AI applications alone could add 1.2 million to five million tons of harmfultrash to the planet by 2030.Such a contribution would add to the tens of millions of tons of electronic products theglobe abandons annually. Cell phones, computers and other digital products often containmercury (汞), lead or other poisons. When improperly disposed of, they can pollute air, waterand soil. In 2022, about 78% of the world’s e-waste end up in landfills or at unofficialrecycling sites, where laborers risk their health to clean up rare metals.The AI boom rapidly consumes data storage devices and high-performance components,which are usually replaced when new versions are available. To calculate the e-wastecontribution, researchers examined hardware use, lifespan, and the industry’s growth rate.Their prediction is an estimate that could change based on various factors.This study’s biggest value comes from its attention to AI’s broad environmental impacts,says Shaolei Ren, a researcher at the University of California, Riverside. “We might want AIcompanies to slow down a bit,” he says.Few countries mandate (强制) the proper disposal of e-waste, and those that do often failto carry out their existing laws on it. Twenty-five U. S. states have e-waste managementpolicies, but there is no federal law that requires electronics recycling.Thankfully, some companies claim to be taking independent action. Microsoft andGoogle have committed to reaching net zero waste and net zero emissions respectively by2030. They have many options to limit e-waste. It’s possible to squeeze more life out ofservers, for instance, through regular maintenance and updates or by shifting worn-outdevices to less-intensive applications. These strategies are vital to reduce e-waste and benefitsociety, the study authors estimate.30. What can be inferred from Paragraph 1 A. The Netherlands consumes too much electricity.B. The disadvantages of AI outweigh the advantages.C. AI’s energy-related issues largely result from image-making.D. The environmental footprint of AI is alarmingly extensive.731. What is Shaolei Ren’s attitude toward the growth of AI companies A. Indifferent. B. Cautious. C.Positive . D. Ambiguous.32. What is the key to reducing e-waste A. Adjusting AI application frequency.B. Prioritizing smartphone recycling.C. Banning the overuse of AI completely.D. Adopting device-lifespan-extending measures.33. What is the best title for the text A. AI May Worsen the E-waste CrisisB. E-waste Calls for Proper Use of AIC. E-waste Problems Mostly Blame on AID. AI and E-waste Always Go Hand in Hand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。We’ve all experienced the frustration of forgetting what we studied yesterday. Butmemory isn’t just about natural talent. It’s a skill we can improve with smart strategies.Our brains naturally screen information. We forget 70% of new knowledge within 24hours if we don’t review it. Your brain serves as a library. Whenever you revisit information,you’re placing it on a more accessible shelf. A student who reviews math formulas (公式 )right after class, then before bed, and once more after three days will find them easier to recallduring exams. ____34________35____ When reciting words like “photosynthesis”, simply repeating the spellingoften fails quickly. Instead, picture sunlight hitting green leaves while reading a biologytextbook. This combines text, imagery, and real-world meaning, activating multiple brainareas at once. Similarly, linking “pineapple” to “pine tree with apples” creates a funny mentalimage hard to forget for long.Sleep and calm minds are secret weapons for memory. During deep sleep, the brainreorganizes daytime learning like a librarian sorting books. Research shows students with 7-8hours of sleep remember 40% more history facts than those who stay up late. ____36____ Atthis moment, taking slow breaths can protect your mental “library”.Active practice beats passive reading. Instead of mechanically rereading notes, transformheadings into self-test questions: “____37____” This forces your brain to search information,strengthening memory pathways. Explaining concepts to friends, like teaching a classmate8how to solve equations, uses speech and logic to deepen understanding.____38____ By spacing out reviews, creating vivid mental connections, and caring foryour brain’s needs, you can turn temporary knowledge into lifelong wisdom—one small,steady step at a time.A. Forgetting is a common human condition without exception.B. Context turns weak and uncertain memories into permanent ones.C. This “spaced repetition” makes memories stick.D. Feeling stressed, however, floods the brain with chemicals that damage memory.E. Memory mastery is not about studying longer but studying smarter.F. Improving memory is more focused on holding on to what really counts.G.

He had to board the train scheduled to leave at 7 pm, so he planned to leavehis office at 5 pm. However, he, being on a long leave, had to complete a lot of pending (待定的 ) tasks in the office, which went well beyond 5 pm. By the time he left for the railwaystation, it was already 6 pm.

That was when he encountered Jimmy.“Will you please drive as fast as you can to the railway station I have to catch the trainthat leaves in an hour,” Anay asked. “Don’t worry, sir.

In this way, people willremember me and contact me when they need a rickshaw.” Anay now realized that this youngman was not a regular rickshaw driver. Out of curiosity, he asked, “What’s your educationalbackground ” “A Bachelor’s degree in commerce (商务学士学位 ),” Jimmy replied. Anaywas visibly shocked. Jimmy added, “Sir, I don’t feel ashamed of my job. I think it’s better thatI’ve learned a great deal than none at all. After graduation, I haven’t found a suitable job. Tofeed myself, I landed this job, but after work, I take an evening course to improve knowledgeof my major in case there’s any opportunity.” Anay related to Jimmy and couldn’t helpthinking about his early job - seeking experiences.Soon, they reached the destination. Anay took out a 100-rupee note from his wallet,handed it to Jimmy and walked away hurriedly, carrying his two big bags.Paragraph 1:However, as Anay was entering the station, he found Jimmy running towards him with asmall bag.Paragraph 2:Amonth later, Anay sent a message to Jimmy, asking him to take an interview.12广东实验中学 2024-2025 学年高二(下)期中英语考试参考答案听力:1-5 BCCAB(每个单词0.5分,写对一个得0.5,形式要对)climate targets; 7. plants seeds; 8. unique shape; 9. soil types; 10. success rate单项选择题答案: 11-15 DCDAC; 16-18 BDB阅读A篇 19-21 BCB阅读B篇 22-25 CADB阅读C篇 26-29 BADC阅读D篇 30-33 DBDA七选五 34-38 CBDGE完型填空39-43 BABDC 44-48 DCBAB 49-53 DCACD语法填空:artistic 55. to tell/to be told 56.made57. whose 58. therefore/hence/ thus 59. creation 60. witnessed 61. techniques 62.

Jimmy’s face was flushed from running, sweat dripping down his cheeks. "Sir, your computer bag!" he shouted, holding it up. Anay froze, realizing he had left behind his most important possession—all his work files and personal documents were in that bag. "Thank you so much!" Anay said, his hands shaking as he took the bag. Feeling grateful, he added, "Can I have your phone number, in case I need a rickshaw " Jimmy smiled shyly and gave Anay his number. Anay saved it, thinking that this young man deserved a chance.(90字)Paragraph 2A month later, Anay sent a message to Jimmy, asking him to take an interview. When the big day finally came, Jimmy entered the office in his cleanest clothes, and surprisingly found that Anay was one of the interviewers, his face glowing with excitement and hope. During the interview, Jimmy confidently shared his academic knowledge and work experiences, which left a deep impression on the interviewers. A week later, Anay sent Jimmy a job offer from the commerce department.
