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 worlds 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“cant”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 didnt 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

havent looked back.Only ahead.Im 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

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.学科网（北京）股份有限公司高三英语 第 5 页 共 11 页24.What can we learn about the author?A.He

following is the best title for the text?A.Starting Your Own Business B.Never Look BackC.Jumping over Economic Downturns D.Pursue Success in BusinessCDo 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 whats 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,its 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:“Thats what Carnegie did.”“Id like to be buried under Yan kee Stadium with JFK.”and so on.But they arent 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 persons 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 学科网（北京）股份有限公司高三英语 第 6 页 共 11 页vocal features that might need to be adjusted if my digital double doesnt come out sounding exactly right.“We can already make you sound sad.We can also make you act like youre reporting and broadcasting now,”Yassa says.“We can make you sound like acting in the theatre,eventually,though were 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.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 peoples speech.C.The digital double cant 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 学科网（北京）股份有限公司高三英语 第 7 页 共 11 页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 dont want from tourism,well see more protests.”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 dont protest.D.Tourists are banned to stay at the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps.35.Whats 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.第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分）分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为学科网（北京）股份有限公司高三英语 第 8 页 共 11 页多余选项。For the first
