In 2002, pet Michael Palma published a translatin f Infern by Dante(但丁), the first part f The Divine Cmedy. This December, he released a translatin f the full pem, even making adjustments t his riginal Infern. “The rhythm r pattern f the pem seemed lser,” Palma said, s he revised it.
Fr this new translatin, Palma aimed t stick t Dante's terza rima rhyme pattern. In the riginal, the first and third lines rhyme, and the secnd line sets up the rhyme fr the next grup. Here's hw Palma's versin f Cant 1 f Purgatri starts: “Right nw, my small bat f wisdm raises its sails, ready t sail thrugh the dangerus waters and leave this rugh sea behind.”
Appraching the translatin this way is challenging as ne can't fcus n just three lines at a time. Many English translatins use free petry r a lser rhyme, which Palma admits can be gd. But he believes nt reprducing the rhymes means lsing much f the pem’ s sund and music. He als thinks it fails t shw readers what Dante did.
Palma isn't the first t attempt this. S, what's the value in anther translatin f The Divine Cmedy? Jseph Luzzi, a literature prfessr, said translatin is a frm f autbigraphy, which has n fixed rules.
Luzzi recently published his translatin f Dante's Vita Nuva, a less-knwn wrk. It prtrays a yung Dante's experience. In these wrks, themes like lve, the explratin f human nature, and the pursuit f self-imprvement are nticeable. Translating his wrk keeps it alive, and its relevance is clear.
We can learn frm these translatins and discussins that literature has the pwer t cnnect different times and cultures. It encurages us t think deeply, explre different ways f expressin, and cntinuusly imprve ur understanding and appreciatin f the wrld.
26. Which f the fllwing wrds best describes Palma's translatin f Dante's Infern?
A. Imaginative. B. Faithful. C. Innvative. D. Cmplex.
27. What was the main difficulty Palma faced in his new translatin?
A. It was pattern-challenging. B. It was culture-bund.
C. It was time-cnsuming. D. It was wrd-limited.
28. Which f the fllwing statements is Luzzi mst likely t agree with?
A. Translatin is nt applicable t less-knwn wrks.
B. Translatin demands strict pattern.
C. Translatin changes utdated themes.
D. Translatin is a self-reflective act.
29. What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T cmpare different translatin methds f Dante's wrks.
B. T analyze the challenges f preserving petic rhythm in translatin.
C. T highlight the cultural and timeless value f translating literature.
D. T intrduce tw schlars' cntributins t Dantean studies.

Every time AI drafts an e-mail r an image, the planet pays fr it. Making tw images can cnsume as much energy as charging a smartphne. By 2027, the glbal AI industry culd annually cnsume as much electricity as the Netherlands. And a new study identifies anther cncern: generative AI applicatins alne culd add 1.2millin t five millin tns f harmful trash t the planet by 2030.
Such a cntributin wuld add t the tens f millins f tns f electrnic prducts the glbe abandns annually. Cell phnes, cmputers and ther digital prducts ften cntain mercury (汞), lead r ther pisns. When imprperly dispsed f, they can pllute air, water and sil. In 2022, abut 78% f the wrld's e-waste end up in landfills r at unfficial recycling sites, where labrers risk their health t clean up rare metals.
The AI bm rapidly cnsumes data strage devices and high-perfrmance cmpnents, which are usually replaced when new versins are available. T calculate the e-waste cntributin, researchers examined hardware use, lifespan, and the industry's grwth rate. Their predictin is an estimate that culd change based n varius factrs.
This study's biggest value cmes frm its attentin t AI's brad envirnmental impacts, says Shalei Ren, a researcher at the University f Califrnia, Riverside. “We might want AI cmpanies t slw dwn a bit,” he says.
Few cuntries mandate(强制) the prper dispsal f e-waste, and thse that d ften fail t carry ut their existing laws n it. Twenty-five U. S. states have e-waste management plicies, but there is n federal law that requires electrnics recycling.
Thankfully, sme cmpanies claim t be taking independent actin. Micrsft and Ggle have cmmitted t reaching net zer waste and net zer emissins respectively by2030. They have many ptins t limit e-waste. It's pssible t squeeze mre life ut f servers, fr instance, thrugh regular maintenance and updates r by shifting wrn-ut devices t less-intensive applicatins. These strategies are vital t reduce e-waste and benefit sciety, the study authrs estimate.
30. What can be inferred frm Paragraph 1?
A. The Netherlands cnsumes t much electricity.
B. The disadvantages f AI utweigh the advantages.
C. AI's energy-related issues largely result frm image-making.
D. The envirnmental ftprint f AI is alarmingly extensive.
31. What is Shalei Ren's attitude tward the grwth f AI cmpanies?
A. Indifferent. B. Cautius. C. Psitive. D. Ambiguus.
32. What is the key t reducing e-waste?
A. Adjusting AI applicatin frequency.
B. Priritizing smartphne recycling.
C. Banning the veruse f AI cmpletely.
D. Adpting device-lifespan-extending measures.
33. What is the best title fr the text?
A. AI May Wrsen the E-waste Crisis
B. E-waste Calls fr Prper Use f AI
C. E-waste Prblems Mstly Blame n AI
D. AI and E-waste Always G Hand in Hand

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 frustratin f frgetting what we studied yesterday. But memry isn't just abut natural talent. It's a skill we can imprve with smart strategies.
Our brains naturally screen infrmatin. We frget 70% f new knwledge within 24hurs if we dn't review it. Yur brain serves as a library. Whenever yu revisit infrmatin, yu' re placing it n a mre accessible shelf. A student wh reviews math frmulas(公式)right after class, then befre bed, and nce mre after three days will find them easier t recall during exams. 34
35 When reciting wrds like “phtsynthesis”, simply repeating the spelling ften fails quickly. Instead, picture sunlight hitting green leaves while reading a bilgy textbk. This cmbines text, imagery, and real-wrld meaning, activating multiple brain areas at nce. Similarly, linking “pineapple” t “pine tree with apples” creates a funny mental image hard t frget fr lng.
Sleep and calm minds are secret weapns fr memry. During deep sleep, the brain rerganizes daytime learning like a librarian srting bks. Research shws students with 7-8hurs f sleep remember 40% mre histry facts than thse wh stay up late. 36 At this mment, taking slw breaths can prtect yur mental “library”.
Active practice beats passive reading. Instead f mechanically rereading ntes, transfrm headings int self-test questins:“37” This frces yur brain t search infrmatin, strengthening memry pathways. Explaining cncepts t friends, like teaching a classmatehw t slve equatins, uses speech and lgic t deepen understanding.
38 By spacing ut reviews, creating vivid mental cnnectins, and caring fr yur brain's needs, yu can turn temprary knwledge int lifelng wisdm—— ne small, steady step at a time.
A. Frgetting is a cmmn human cnditin withut exceptin.
B. Cntext turns weak and uncertain memries int permanent nes.
C. This “spaced repetitin” makes memries stick.
D. Feeling stressed, hwever, flds the brain with chemicals that damage memry.
E. Memry mastery is nt abut studying lnger but studying smarter.
F. Imprving memry is mre fcused n hlding n t what really cunts.
G. Hw d I use this grammar rule in writing?
