Three cute brown bear cubs who got lost after getting separated from their mother gripped the hearts of netizens.
The fuzzy cubs were spotted by Gelek Gyatso, an ecological protection officer, when he was patrolling a riverbed at an altitude of nearly 4, 500 meters in Qumarleb county in Qinghai province’s Yushu.
The little cubs eagerly ran toward the ranger on the snow-covered riverbed, then stopped short at a safe distance to stare at him curiously. After realizing that the man was not their mother, the bear cubs turned around and ran along the river calling for mom.
This was Gelek Gyatso’s first encounter with bear cubs separated from their mother. With his knowledge of wild animals, he drove the cubs towards an area near their cave in the hope of a safe reunion. Thankfully, later that day, other patrol officers found that the mother bear had reunited with her cubs and that the family was happy and healthy.
This year marks Gelek Gyatso’s tenth year as an ecological protection officer. He patrols the area every day, diligently records the animals he sees, carefully checks on the vegetation, and helps clean up litter.
Over the decade, Gelek Gyatso has witnessed great changes in the ecological environment of his hometown. There has been an increase in the number of wild animals, and everyone is participating in the protection of these species, making coexistence between humans and animals more harmonious.
He also reminds people that if they encounter wild animals in the wild, they should keep their distance, not disturbing or feeding them, and that if they find an animal that needs to be rescued, they should call the fire or forest department in time.
4. What happened to the three bear cubs?
A. Losing track of the mother bear.
B. Following Gelek with curiosity.
C. Mistaking a man for their mother.
D. Being trapped in the cold riverbed.
5. Which of the following best describes Gelek?
A. Ambitious. B. Romantic. C. Devoted. D. Innovative.
6. According to Gelek, what should people do to live in harmony with wildlife?
A. Changing their living surroundings.
B. Feeding and sheltering wild animals.
C. Getting involved in saving endangered species.
D. Seeking professional help to rescue those in need.
7. What is the best title for the text?
A. A project of wildlife conservation
B. A journey of friendship connection
C. A knowledgeable ecological officer
D. An encounter leading to a safe reunion
C
If you struggle with insomnia (失眠)— and, consequently, the bed-covers—you probably have been tempted to try anything that promises better sleep. One thing might sound a little strange but has been known to work: adding a weighted blanket to those bed- covers. “It has become the sleep tool to have,” says Alanna McGinn, founder and lead sleep expert at Good Night Sleep Site. “I’m a huge supporter because it can work so well.”
About 32% of Americans don’t get enough sleep, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts there recommend at least seven hours of shut-eye per night for adults. But as many as 35% of adults have trouble sleeping from time to time, and 10% regularly have trouble falling and staying asleep.
The weight—usually between 5 and 30 pounds which sounds like a lot but is spread out over the entire bed—comes from plastic, glass or metal balls surrounded by filling. The heaviness imitates a touch therapy called deep pressure stimulation. Just as swaddling babies can send them to sleep, using a weighted blanket helps your heart and breathing slow and your body release feel good hormones, including serotonin.
A 2020 review looked at eight studies and concluded that weighted blankets helped reduce anxiety but not necessarily insomnia. Other research tells a slightly different story. A study in Sweden in 2020 looked at 120 people with insomnia and also depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety or attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Those who used a weighted blanket reported that they had better sleep and were less tired, anxious and depressed during the day.
People with circulatory conditions such as diabetes, or breathing issues such as asthma or sleep apnea (窒息), should check with their doctor before using a weighted blanket. “And if you’re someone who gets a little claustrophobic, it’s probably not the best thing for you,” adds McGinn.
8. What will people with insomnia probably do?
A. Tend to be cheated. B. Struggle to drop asleep.
C. Work for the sleep tool. D. Be cautious about the blanket.
9. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The severity of sleep trouble. B. Americans suffering insomnia.
C. Sleep difficulty caused by aging. D. Experts’ advice on sleeping hours.
10. Why does the author mention “swaddling babies” in paragraph 3?
A. To define a concept. B. To present a result.
C. To explain the principle. D. To draw a conclusion.
11. What can be inferred about the application of the weighted blanket?
A. It can extend people’s lifespan.
B. It can help people feel more relaxed.
C. It is friendly to people with breathing issues.
D. It is a request to get the doctor s permission.
D
Nile crocodiles are uniquely sensitive to the cries of painful primate (灵长类) babies, according to a new study — and the more anxious the cry, the more interested they become. To make the find, Nicolas Grimault, a scientist at the University of Lyon, and his colleagues visited a zoo in Morocco, which houses more than 300 Nile crocodiles. The researchers set up loudspeakers alongside four ponds where, at each, as many as 25 crocodiles sunbathed on red rocks. The speakers played a series of cries expressing varying levels of pain from primate babies. The cries were recorded in different situations to find out which aspects of the voices interest the crocs most.
Many of the crocs, male and female, responded to the cries by suddenly turning their heads, seeking out the source of the sound, rapidly approaching the loudspeaker and sometimes even biting it. One individual even showed protective behavior by positioning in front of the speaker as if to defend it from others. Interestingly, their response depended on the characteristics of the cries they heard: crocs were more likely to react to recordings with acoustic (声音的) features closely related to very upset babies, such as sudden changes and disharmony in frequency, smoothness and tones.
When the researchers asked human volunteers, all of whom had experience with human babies, to listen to the same recorded cries and estimate the level of pain, the participants used different features than the crocs did to evaluate the sounds, basing their decisions largely on the pitch of the cries — how high or low a sound is. But it varies among individuals and across species. That makes it less reliable and accurate than the alternative acoustic clues picked up on by crocodiles.
The findings of the study raise the possibility that emotion may be communicated across species lines in more ways than scientists thought. As Grimault puts it, “If crocs can do it, probably many other animals can do it, too.”
12. Why are the cries collected from different situations played?
A. To discover which crocodiles are smart. B. To identify what appeals to crocodiles.
C. To develop how to protect crocodiles. D. To record when crocodiles interact.
13. How do most of the crocodiles respond to baby’ cries?
A. Guarding the speakers. B. Sunbathing on the rocks.
C. Attacking other crocodiles. D. Moving towards the sound.
14. Which of the following belongs to “alternative acoustic clues” in paragraph 3?
A. The volume of sound. B. The source of the cries.
C. The evenness of tone. D. The pitch of the voice.
15. Which statement would Grimault probably agree with?
A. Humans are sensitive to voices of other species.
B. Emotions may be shared beyond species borders.
C. Crocs tend to be friendly to babies of any species.
D. Cross-species communication is an unfading skill.

David was a windsurfer, who was serious and hardworking. He dreamed of becoming a city champion of the annual Teenager Windsurfing Race. To achieve it, he barely missed a single game or practice whatever the weather. After months of intense training, the big day finally arrived!
The beach was crowded with the excited audience, including reporters and photographers. The speaker system was announcing the names of the windsurfers, calling them to get ready for the race. And there was David, in a line with other windsurfers, all of them moving nervously up and down on the waves behind an imaginary starting line. They were all fighting for the best position to start and were tense as a result, ignoring the vast sea they were on.
The moment the starter’s signal sounded, David was off, so natural and quick. He pulled hard at his sail to race just ahead of the group. As he picked up speed, gliding (滑行) over the waves, he felt the familiar joy and freedom that windsurfing always gave him. What he loved was simply being out at sea. He could hardly stop himself from shouting out in excitement, rushing to the finishing line for the first.
“Go! David!” The wind carried over a familiar voice. He looked around and spotted his elder sister Jessica on her speedboat upwind of him cheering for him. She waved at David and he nodded his head in acknowledgement, even though he knew she was too far away to see him. Just as he turned away, however, out of the comer of his eye, he saw smoke behind the speedboat, on the shore. Knowing that the smoke could tell him the direction the wind was blowing, he decided to study it for a moment out of habit. Just as he was getting a better sense of how to use the wind to his advantage, he saw it.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Not just the smoke but a big fire!
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The other windsurfers were far ahead of him at that time.

The fuzzy cubs were spotted by Gelek Gyatso, an ecological protection officer, when he was patrolling a riverbed at an altitude of nearly 4, 500 meters in Qumarleb county in Qinghai province’s Yushu.
The little cubs eagerly ran toward the ranger on the snow-covered riverbed, then stopped short at a safe distance to stare at him curiously. After realizing that the man was not their mother, the bear cubs turned around and ran along the river calling for mom.
This was Gelek Gyatso’s first encounter with bear cubs separated from their mother. With his knowledge of wild animals, he drove the cubs towards an area near their cave in the hope of a safe reunion. Thankfully, later that day, other patrol officers found that the mother bear had reunited with her cubs and that the family was happy and healthy.
This year marks Gelek Gyatso’s tenth year as an ecological protection officer. He patrols the area every day, diligently records the animals he sees, carefully checks on the vegetation, and helps clean up litter.
Over the decade, Gelek Gyatso has witnessed great changes in the ecological environment of his hometown. There has been an increase in the number of wild animals, and everyone is participating in the protection of these species, making coexistence between humans and animals more harmonious.
He also reminds people that if they encounter wild animals in the wild, they should keep their distance, not disturbing or feeding them, and that if they find an animal that needs to be rescued, they should call the fire or forest department in time.

If you struggle with insomnia (失眠)— and, consequently, the bed-covers—you probably have been tempted to try anything that promises better sleep. One thing might sound a little strange but has been known to work: adding a weighted blanket to those bed- covers. “It has become the sleep tool to have,” says Alanna McGinn, founder and lead sleep expert at Good Night Sleep Site. “I’m a huge supporter because it can work so well.”
About 32% of Americans don’t get enough sleep, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts there recommend at least seven hours of shut-eye per night for adults. But as many as 35% of adults have trouble sleeping from time to time, and 10% regularly have trouble falling and staying asleep.
The weight—usually between 5 and 30 pounds, which sounds like a lot but is spread out over the entire bed—comes from plastic, glass or metal balls surrounded by filling. The heaviness imitates a touch therapy called deep pressure stimulation. Just as swaddling babies can send them to sleep, using a weighted blanket helps your heart and breathing slow and your body release feel good hormones, including serotonin.
A 2020 review looked at eight studies and concluded that weighted blankets helped reduce anxiety but not necessarily insomnia. Other research tells a slightly different story. A study in Sweden in 2020 looked at 120 people with insomnia and also depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety or attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Those who used a weighted blanket reported that they had better sleep and were less tired, anxious and depressed during the day.
People with circulatory conditions such as diabetes, or breathing issues such as asthma or sleep apnea (窒息), should check with their doctor before using a weighted blanket. “And if you’re someone who gets a little claustrophobic, it’s probably not the best thing for you,” adds McGinn.
8. What will people with insomnia probably do?
A. Tend to be cheated. B. Struggle to drop asleep.
C. Work for the sleep tool. D. Be cautious about the blanket.
9. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. The severity of sleep trouble. B. Americans suffering insomnia.
C. Sleep difficulty caused by aging. D. Experts’ advice on sleeping hours.
10. Why does the author mention “swaddling babies” in paragraph 3?
A. To define a concept. B. To present a result.
C. To explain the principle. D. To draw a conclusion.
11. What can be inferred about the application of the weighted blanket?
A. It can extend people’s lifespan.
B. It can help people feel more relaxed.
C. It is friendly to people with breathing issues.
D. It is a request to get the doctor s permission.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。研究表明,对于有失眠问题的人来说,在床罩上加一条加重的毯子,它的重量可以模仿深度压力刺激的触摸疗法,可以减慢心脏和呼吸,释放有益激素,因此减轻焦虑、改善睡眠质量,并减少疲劳、焦虑和抑郁,然而,对于患有循环系统疾病或呼吸问题的人来说,使用加重毯子前应咨询医生。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“If you struggle with insomnia (失眠)— and, consequently, the bed-covers—you probably have been tempted to try anything that promises better sleep. (如果你正在与失眠作斗争,那么你可能已经尝试过任何能保证更好睡眠的方法了。)”可知,失眠的人可能会尝试任何能保证更好睡眠的方法,努力使自己入睡。故选B项。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“About 32% of Americans don’t get enough sleep, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts there recommend at least seven hours of shut-eye per night for adults. But as many as 35% of adults have trouble sleeping from time to time, and 10% regularly have trouble falling and staying asleep. (根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据,大约32%的美国人睡眠不足。那里的专家建议成年人每晚至少睡7个小时。但多达35%的成年人不时有睡眠问题,10%的人经常难以入睡和保持睡眠状态。)”可知,通过美国疾病控制与预防中心提供的三个数据,第二段介绍了美国人睡眠问题的严重程度。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“The weight—usually between 5 and 30 pounds, which sounds like a lot but is spread out over the entire bed—comes from plastic, glass or metal balls surrounded by filling. The heaviness imitates a touch therapy called deep pressure stimulation. Just as swaddling babies can send them to sleep, using a weighted blanket helps your heart and breathing slow and your body release feel good hormones, including serotonin. (它的重量通常在5到30磅之间,听起来很重,但却铺在整个床上。它是由塑料、玻璃或金属球制成的,周围有填充物。这种沉重感模仿了一种叫做深度压力刺激的触摸疗法。就像襁褓中的婴儿可以让他们入睡一样,使用加重的毯子可以帮助你的心脏和呼吸减慢,让你的身体释放出让人感觉良好的激素,包括血清素。)”可知,襁褓对婴儿肌肤进行深度压力刺激,保证婴儿的高质量的睡眠,加重的毯子可以模仿深度压力刺激的触摸疗法,可以帮助改善失眠问题,减慢心脏和呼吸,释放有益激素,作者提到襁褓里的婴儿来解释毯子这个原理。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“A 2020 review looked at eight studies and concluded that weighted blankets helped reduce anxiety but not necessarily insomnia.(2020年的一项综述研究了8项研究,得出的结论是,加重的毯子有助于减轻焦虑,但不一定能减轻失眠。)”可知,加重毛毯的应用能使人减轻焦虑,更加放松。故选B项。

Nile crocodiles are uniquely sensitive to the cries of painful primate (灵长类) babies, according to a new study — and the more anxious the cry, the more interested they become. To make the find, Nicolas Grimault, a scientist at the University of Lyon, and his colleagues visited a zoo in Morocco, which houses more than 300 Nile crocodiles. The researchers set up loudspeakers alongside four ponds where, at each, as many as 25 crocodiles sunbathed on red rocks. The speakers played a series of cries expressing varying levels of pain from primate babies. The cries were recorded in different situations to find out which aspects of the voices interest the crocs most.
Many of the crocs, male and female, responded to the cries by suddenly turning their heads, seeking out the source of the sound, rapidly approaching the loudspeaker and sometimes even biting it. One individual even showed protective behavior by positioning in front of the speaker as if to defend it from others. Interestingly, their response depended on the characteristics of the cries they heard: crocs were more likely to react to recordings with acoustic (声音的) features closely related to very upset babies, such as sudden changes and disharmony in frequency, smoothness and tones.
When the researchers asked human volunteers, all of whom had experience with human babies, to listen to the same recorded cries and estimate the level of pain, the participants used different features than the crocs did to evaluate the sounds, basing their decisions largely on the pitch of the cries — how high or low a sound is. But it varies among individuals and across species. That makes it less reliable and accurate than the alternative acoustic clues picked up on by crocodiles.
The findings of the study raise the possibility that emotion may be communicated across species lines in more ways than scientists thought. As Grimault puts it, “If crocs can do it, probably many other animals can do it, too.”
12. Why are the cries collected from different situations played?
A. To discover which crocodiles are smart. B. To identify what appeals to crocodiles.
C. To develop how to protect crocodiles. D. To record when crocodiles interact.
13. How do most of the crocodiles respond to baby’ cries?
A. Guarding the speakers. B. Sunbathing on the rocks.
C. Attacking other crocodiles. D. Moving towards the sound.
14. Which of the following belongs to “alternative acoustic clues” in paragraph 3?
A. The volume of sound. B. The source of the cries.
C. The evenness of tone. D. The pitch of the voice.
15. Which statement would Grimault probably agree with?
A. Humans are sensitive to voices of other species.
B. Emotions may be shared beyond species borders.
C. Crocs tend to be friendly to babies of any species.
D. Cross-species communication is an unfading skill.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现尼罗鳄对灵长类动物幼崽痛苦的哭声特别敏感——哭声越焦虑,它们就越感兴趣。介绍了研究开展的经过以及这项研究的发现提出了一种可能性,即情感可能以比科学家想象的更多的方式跨物种交流。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“The speakers played a series of cries expressing varying levels of pain from primate babies. The cries were recorded in different situations to find out which aspects of the voices interest the crocs most.(演讲者播放了一系列灵长类动物婴儿的哭声,表达了不同程度的疼痛。研究人员记录了不同情况下的叫声,以找出鳄鱼最感兴趣的声音的哪个方面)”可知,播放不同情况下的哭声是为了确定什么会吸引鳄鱼。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Many of the crocs, male and female, responded to the cries by suddenly turning their heads, seeking out the source of the sound, rapidly approaching the loudspeaker and sometimes even biting it.(许多鳄鱼,无论雄性还是雌性,都会突然转过头来寻找声音的来源,迅速靠近扬声器,有时甚至会咬它)”可知,大多数鳄鱼对婴儿的哭声的反应是向声音移动。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Interestingly, their response depended on the characteristics of the cries they heard: crocs were more likely to react to recordings with acoustic (声音的) features closely related to very upset babies, such as sudden changes and disharmony in frequency, smoothness and tones.(有趣的是,它们的反应取决于它们听到的哭声的特征:鳄鱼更有可能对与非常不安的婴儿密切相关的声学特征的录音做出反应,比如频率、平滑度和音调的突然变化和不和谐)”以及第三段“When the researchers asked human volunteers, all of whom had experience with human babies, to listen to the same recorded cries and estimate the level of pain, the participants used different features than the crocs did to evaluate the sounds, basing their decisions largely on the pitch of the cries — how high or low a sound is.(当研究人员要求人类志愿者(他们都有过照顾人类婴儿的经验)听同样的哭声录音并估计疼痛程度时,参与者使用了与鳄鱼不同的特征来评估声音,他们的决定主要基于哭声的音高——声音的高低)”以及“That makes it less reliable and accurate than the alternative acoustic clues picked up on by crocodiles.(这使得它的可靠性和准确性不如鳄鱼捕捉到的其他声音线索)”可推知,鳄鱼捕捉到的线索属于其他声音线索,因此推断语调的均匀属于“其他声音线索”。故选C。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“The findings of the study raise the possibility that emotion may be communicated across species lines in more ways than scientists thought. As Grimault puts it, “If crocs can do it, probably many other animals can do it, too.”(这项研究的发现提出了一种可能性,即情感可能以比科学家想象的更多的方式跨物种交流。正如格里诺所说,“如果鳄鱼能做到这一点,可能许多其他动物也能做到。”)”可知,Grimault认为情感可以跨越物种边界。故选B。

考查固定短语。句意:据《南华早报》报道,中国计划在2035年之前启动超级高铁,也被称为超高速管道磁悬浮系统。分析句子可知,此处为固定短语be known as“被当作,被称为”,满足句意要求。故填as。
【37题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:如果该项目按计划进行,新列车将成为世界上最快的地面交通工具。分析句子可知,此处为固定短语as planned“按照计划”,满足句意要求。故填planned。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:在过去的几天里,中国政府官员宣布批准了该国第一条超级高铁线路。分析句子可知,此处为谓语动词的填入,由In the past few days时间状语可知,该句应为现在完成时,主语officers为复数名词,所以为动词复数形式。故填have announced。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:它的长度将是175公里,将通过上海和杭州之间。由空前Its为形容词性物主代词可知,此处为名词形式,length (长度)不可数。故填length。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:但是超级高铁的速度可以达到1000公里/小时,这意味着这条线路可以在15分钟内完成。分析句子可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为前面整句话,关系词在从句中作主语成分,用关系代词which。故填which。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该项目将使中国成为超级高铁技术的先驱之一,使几个主要城市之间的旅行速度更快。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,allow和逻辑主语The project为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填allowing。
【42题详解】
考查冠词。句意:超级高铁提供了高安全性和低能耗。根据句意可知,此处为表示“一种高安全级别”,为泛指概念,high为首音节辅音单词,所以为不定冠词a的填入。故填a。
【43题详解】
考查副词比较级。句意:这项技术将进一步提升中国在交通运输领域的领先地位。根据句意可知,此处为副词比较级further“更远地,进一步”,作状语修饰动词advance。故填further。
【44题详解】
考查形容词性物主代词。句意:中国的超级高铁已经完成了首次试运行。由空后first test runs为名词短语可知,此处为形容词性物主代词its。故填its。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:预计在不久的将来将延长到60公里。分析句子可知,此处为谓语动词的填入,主语It和谓语动词expect为被动关系,结合上文时态可知,该句应为一般现在时,所以为一般现在时的被动语态结构。故填is expected。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
David was a windsurfer, who was serious and hardworking. He dreamed of becoming a city champion of the annual Teenager Windsurfing Race. To achieve it, he barely missed a single game or practice whatever the weather. After months of intense training, the big day finally arrived!
The beach was crowded with the excited audience, including reporters and photographers. The speaker system was announcing the names of the windsurfers, calling them to get ready for the race. And there was David, in a line with other windsurfers, all of them moving nervously up and down on the waves behind an imaginary starting line. They were all fighting for the best position to start and were tense as a result, ignoring the vast sea they were on.
The moment the starter’s signal sounded, David was off, so natural and quick. He pulled hard at his sail to race just ahead of the group. As he picked up speed, gliding (滑行) over the waves, he felt the familiar joy and freedom that windsurfing always gave him. What he loved was simply being out at sea. He could hardly stop himself from shouting out in excitement, rushing to the finishing line for the first.
“Go! David!” The wind carried over a familiar voice. He looked around and spotted his elder sister Jessica on her speedboat upwind of him cheering for him. She waved at David and he nodded his head in acknowledgement, even though he knew she was too far away to see him. Just as he turned away, however, out of the comer of his eye, he saw smoke behind the speedboat, on the shore. Knowing that the smoke could tell him the direction the wind was blowing, he decided to study it for a moment out of habit. Just as he was getting a better sense of how to use the wind to his advantage, he saw it.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Not just the smoke but a big fire!

The other windsurfers were far ahead of him at that time.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Not just the smoke but a big fire! David couldn’t believe his eyes. It occurred to him that it was from a restaurant where he once did a part-time job and that all the staff might be among the audience. He looked back at the beach, where all of the audience were too attentive to the race to be conscious of the fire. It was then that he made a resolution to turn around, passing by the other windsurfers and racing towards the shore, rather than the finishing line.
The other windsurfers were far ahead of him at that time. Apparently, this promising teenager had withdrawn the Race. Many confused people who noticed his strange behavior also spotted the shocking smoke and fire on the shore. The teenager rushed towards the fire, followed by many adults, including the staff. More hands made light work. They put out the fire before it was too late, minimizing the losses. Due to his contribution, the organizing committee awarded David the sportsmanship Award. All the audience applauded him for his acceptance speech: “I don’t regret losing the chance of becoming a champion to help others.”
