If I have a life-time goal, it’s not to be driving a Bentley. It is to give away more than
$5,000,000 a year and having an influence on people’s lives. I have the success today because I
always had to work for what I wanted. I grew up used to risks and disappointments, so I was
accustomed to moving forward, no matter what.
In 2010, I went to New York where I tried to get hired as an agent, an analyst and a
financial broker. Unfortunately, all these doors slammed in my face. The world’s economy was
in a bad state, so I knew I would have to do a little spinning of my own.
Youth involves a certain innocence but also perseverance. The word “can’t” was not in my
vocabulary. I partnered with a friend buying distressed multifamily properties around Chicago.
Even though we were enthusiastic and backed with start-up sums, I didn’t make a deal work.
My friend moved on to other projects. Alone, I put all my money into the next real-estate
project. I put the time in, I dreamed it, but once again the deal fell through. Two months later,
though, the deal came back around. That was when the path opened, luck changed, and I was
ready to form my own company. I haven’t looked back. Only ahead.
I’m now able to give back to communities and causes. I donate about $600,000 a year,
much of that going to research to cure rare diseases. We also support a lot of services for
disadvantaged children in Chicago and other places.
I have always been someone who can see the big picture and have never been distracted
by things that get in the way. There are lessons to be learned, and the biggest of those is to keep
going. You may have to change the path, but always keep that vision in front of you.
24. What can we learn about the author ?
A. He changed jobs several times while in New York.
B. He donated much money to improve his company’s image.
C. He started his company with a friend.
D. He encountered difficulties in the process of growing up.
25. By saying “do a little spinning of my own” in Paragraph 2, the author probably means he
高三英语 第 4 页 共 11 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司would _____________.
A. start his own business B. get around for support
C. make his contributions to society D. look for a casual job instead
26. Which of the following words best describe the author?
A. Determined and persistent. B. Fortunate and kind.
C. Aggressive and innocent. D. Adventurous and enthusiastic.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Starting Your Own Business B. Never Look Back
C. Jumping over Economic Downturns D. Pursue Success in Business

Do you think you are guided by a celebrity in your navigation app? Of course not. The
voice you hear in the navigation software was actually synthesized（合成）. To find out
what’s involved in the process of reproducing human voices, I approached Speech Morphing, a
natural language speech synthesis company, about creating a digital double of my own voice.
Given the complexities of speech synthesis, it’s quite a shock to find out just how easy it is
to order one up. For a basic conversational model, all I have to do is record myself saying a few
hundreds of phrases for roughly an hour. The phrases seem very random: “That’s what
Carnegie did.” “I’d like to be buried under Yan kee Stadium with JFK.” and so on.
But they aren’t as random as they appear. “We choose spoken words that will produce a
wide enough variety of sounds across a range of emotions, such as sadness and anger, to feed
an AI training system. It then teaches itself the specific patterns of a person’s speech,” says
Speech Morphing founder Fathy Yassa.
Yassa says there are around 20 tones to choose from, and some of these can be used
interchangeably, or not at all. “Not every tone is needed for every client,” he says. “The
choice depends on the target application and use cases. Banking is different from reporting and
broadcasting.”
The possibilities for my digital double are limitless. At a training session with Speech
Morphing, I get to hear my digital voice double. The voice comes at me through a pair of
speakers connected to a laptop. The laptop has software into which whatever text I want it to
say is typed. The software includes tools to make adjustments to the tone, speed and other
vocal features that might need to be adjusted if my digital double doesn’t come out sounding
exactly right.
“We can already make you sound sad. We can also make you act like you’re reporting
and broadcasting now,” Yassa says. “We can make you sound like acting in the
theatre, eventually, though we’re not yet there. It is too advanced.”
28. What does the second paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The steps of data processing. B. The goal of the experiment.
高三英语 第 5 页 共 11 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司C. The process of data collecting. D. The complexities of the speech.
29. What is the requirement for the collected voice?
A. It must cover different kinds of daily topics.
B. The sounds can express a wide range of feelings.
C. Every person needs to produce around 20 tones.
D. It has to be collected according to strict guidelines.
30. Which of the following plays a key role in generating a digital double?
A. A typing software. B. A pair of loudspeakers.
C. A recording machine. D. An AI training system.
31. Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. Speech synthesis products are easy to order but complicated to create.
B. We must teach the AI training system patterns of people’s speech.
C. The digital double can’t be adjusted once made.
D. The current technology can make you sound like performing in a theater.
D
With visitor numbers around the world increasing towards pre-pandemic levels, the
issue of overtourism is once again rearing its head. When locals in the charming Austrian
lakeside village of Hallstatt staged a blockade（封锁）of the main access tunnel, asking
visitors to ‘think of the children’, it highlighted what can happen when places start to feel
overrun by tourists.
The term “overtourism” is relatively new, having been invented over a decade ago to
highlight the increasing numbers of visitors taking a toll on cities, landmarks and
landscapes. In essence, it is too many people in one place at any given time. There are the
wide-reaching effects, such as climate change. Coral reefs, like the Great Barrier Reef and
Maya Bay, Thailand are being degraded from visitors diving and touching the corals. More
localized issues are affecting locals, too. Renters are being driven out by landlords in
favour of turning properties into holiday lets, and house prices are escalating as a result. As
visitors and rental properties outnumber local residents, communities are being lost.
Overcrowding is an issue for both locals and tourists. It can ruin the experience of
sightseeing for those trapped in long queues, unable to visit museums, galleries and sites
without advance booking, rising costs for basics like food, drink and hotels, and faced with
the inability to experience the wonder of a place in relative solitude. Justin Francis, co-
founder and CEO of Responsible Travel, a tour operator that focuses on more sustainable
travel, says “Social media has concentrated tourism in hotspots and worsened the problem,
and tourist numbers globally are increasing while destinations have a finite capacity. Until
local people are properly consulted about what they want and don’t want from tourism, we’ll
see more protests.”
高三英语 第 6 页 共 11 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司Of the 800 residents in the UNESCO-listed village of Hallstatt, around 100 turned out in
August to show their displeasure and to push for a limit on daily visitors and a curfew（宵
禁）on tour coach arrivals. Elsewhere, residents in Venice fought long and hard for a ban on
cruise ships, with protest flags often hanging from windows. In Rome, sitting at popular
sites, such as the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps, has been restricted by the authorities.
There are ways to better manage tourism by promoting more off-season travel, limiting
numbers where possible and having greater regulation within the industry. Encouraging more
sustainable travel and finding solutions to reduce friction between residents and tourists
could also have positive impacts. Promoting alternative, less-visited spots to redirect
travelers may also offer some benefits.
32. What is the function of the first paragraph?
A. An introduction to the main topic.
B. A tale to attract readers’ attention.
C. The background information of a story.
D. The explanation of the term “overtourism”
33. Which of the following is not affected negatively by overtourism?
A. The environment. B. The local communities.
C. The landowners. D. The renters.
34. What can be inferred form Paragraph 3 and 4?
A. Overcrowding merely causes trouble for the locals.
B. Social media contributes to overtourism in a sense.
C. Scenic spots can receive infinite tourists as long as locals don’t protest.
D. Tourists are banned to stay at the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps.
35. What’s the text mainly about?
A. Some wonderful tourist destinations around the world.
B. Comparison of tourism before and after the pandemic.
C. The harm to locals’ life caused by overcrowding.
D. The damage and possible solutions of overtourism.

For the first twenty-two years or so of our lives, our main “job” is learning.
And then, once we graduate, we feel like the education phase of our lives is done. But just
because you’ve finished your formal education, it doesn’t mean that your education is over.
Promote a growth mindset. To become an effective lifelong learner you need to adopt a
mindset that is in line with how your brains really work. People have one of two “mindsets”—
fixed or growth. Individuals with a fixed mindset believe that their intelligence and talents are
高三英语 第 7 页 共 11 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司innate（天生的）and fixed. ___36___ Folks with a growth mindset believe that they can
improve themselves through work and practice.
Change your idea of learning. Learning doesn’t have to be in a formal classroom
setting. In fact, most of the useful stuff you know was probably picked up informally from
family, friends, and good old trial and error. To become a lifelong learner, get rid of the idea
that you need to sign up for a class to actually learn something. ___37___ Remember that
learning isn’t limited to what’s found in books — acquiring practical skill sets is a big part of
it too.
Ask questions. ___38___ You can’t just passively consume information. While you’re
reading and talking to experts, ask questions. Don’t know what to ask? Check out the great post
we published last year on how to ask questions. Don’t worry about looking or sounding like an
idiot. Swallow your pride.
Practice, practice, practice. Don’t just read or listen your way to knowledge. ___39___
If you’re learning about art, visit a museum and try to identify which paintings belong to the
Romantic period. If you’re learning about wilderness survival, get out into the wild every
month and put those skills to use.
Teach what you’re learning. To truly learn something you need to teach it. When we
teach, we become truly motivated to learn the material because we want to ensure proper
instruction. ___40___ The clarity and insight produced during the process are what we
lack.
A. Learning is a long course.
B. They don’t think they can improve with work and effort.
C. Find a way to put that knowledge to work.
D. Learning opportunities are all around you.
E. Effective learning requires active participation.
F. Teaching also forces us to look at a concept with a beginner’s mind
G. Every mindset will affect your learning course and your aim.

The telephone rang. Jack answered the call from his mother, “Mr. Richard died
last night. The funeral is Wednesday.” Memories flashed through his mind like an old newsreel
（新闻影片）as he sat quietly remembering his childhood days. It had been some time since
Jack had seen the old man. College, career, and life itself got in the way. In fact, Jack moved
across the country in pursuit of his dreams. There, in the rush of his busy life, Jack had little
高三英语 第 10 页 共 11 页
学科网（北京）股份有限公司time to think about the past and often no time to spend with his wife and son.
“Jack, did you hear me?”
“Oh, sorry, Mom. Yes, I heard you. It’s been so long since I thought of him.” Jack said.
“Well, he didn’t forget you. Every time I saw him he’d ask how you were doing. He’d
reminisced（追忆）about the many days you spent over ‘his side of the fence’ as he put it,”
Mom told him.
After Jack’s father died, Mr. Richard stepped in to make sure Jack had a man’s
influence in his life and it was Mr. Richard who taught Jack many things. Jack wouldn’t
have been in this business if it hadn’t been for Mr. Richard.
Busy as he was, he returned home and attended the funeral, which was small and
uneventful. Mr. Richard had no children of his own, and most of his relatives had passed
away.
The night before Jack had to return home, he and his mother stopped by to see the old
house next door one more time. Standing in the middle of the room, Jack paused for a
moment. It was like crossing over into another dimension, a leap through space and
time. The house was exactly as he remembered. Every step held memories. Every
picture, every piece of furniture... Jack stopped suddenly.
“What’s wrong, Jack?” Mom asked.
“Where is the watch, the thing he valued most?” he seemed to ask himself.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“It was a gold pocket watch that he used to wear every day,” he told his mom.
