Malaria has been a deadly problem for humans since ancient times. Usually, people get malaria when infected mosquitoes bite them. Countless people have died from the disease. Thankfully, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found an effective drug called qinghaosu.
This year marks the 53rd anniversary of Tu’s discovery. In 1969, Tu became the director of a national project to develop a drug against malaria. Her team took a unique approach. They studied books about classical Chinese medicine. After reading more than 2,000 old remedies (疗法), Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and listed almost 380 possible remedies for malaria.
One remedy, which is 1,600 years old, uses sweet wormwood as a treatment. Tu found it effective and tried to extract the qinghaosu from it in order to make a drug. The extraction failed at first, so Tu returned to the classical books again and finally found a way. She used a low-temperature method to extract the qinghaosu and finally succeeded in 1972.
After her team showed that qinghaosu could treat malaria in mice and monkeys, Tu and two of her colleagues volunteered to test the drug on themselves before testing on human patients. It turned out that qinghaosu was safe and all patients in the test recovered. Gradually, qinghaosu became the first-line treatment for malaria recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), saving millions of lives around the world.
In 2015, when Tu was awarded with the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, she refused to take all of the credit. Instead, she praised her colleagues and Chinese traditional medicine. She once said: “Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world.”
4. When did she extract the qinghaosu successfully?
A. In 1969. B. In 1972. C. In 2000. D. In 2015.
5. What did she do when her first extraction failed?
A. She kept on trying new methods. B. She used sweet wormwood as a treatment.
C. She made a drug from qinghaosu. D. She buried herself in classical books again.
6. Which of the following can best describe Tu?
A. Warm-hearted and strong-minded. B. Cold-blooded but hardworking.
C. Devoted and determined. D. Kind and energetic.
7. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Traditional Chinese Medicine plays an important role in her discovery.
B. She won an award because she volunteered to test the drug.
C. Qinghaosu was recommended as the first-line treatment for malaria.
D. Tu thought she didn’t deserve the award.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A

Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are a unique ocean ecosystem consisting of rocky structures mainly formed by coral animals and some other ocean life. Despite only covering 0. 2 percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support at least 25 percent of marine species, as well as providing food and economic security for hundreds of millions of people.
However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching(漂白). It happens when the corals lose colored algae(海藻) living in their bodies and turn completely white. Without the algae, the corals lose their main food source and can die. In addition, as oceans become more acidic(酸性的) from absorbing CO₂, corals in acidic conditions become weak in forming reefs.
In 2021, the United Nations reported a 14 percent loss of corals across the world largely from rising sea temperatures in the previous 13 years. Australia declared mass bleaching events in 2022 across large parts of the Great Barrier Reef, four times since 2016. Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused a serious three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.
Scientists have been cooperating to see how coral reefs can be protected. Thankfully, they find those coral reefs in the hot parts of the globe are the worst affected. They contain corals with better heat resistance. So their research focus on finding genes(基因) for heat tolerance so that they can be passed on to future generations. Biologists also mix corals that are more resilient to higher temperatures with those that are not and the resulting generation has a better chance of survival.
Ultimately, scientists add that without a serious decline in greenhouse gas, 99 percent of the world’s coral reefs will be gone by the end of the century. There is a limit to how quickly corals can adapt warm climate, but if temperatures rise rapidly, then extinction is certain.
8. Which is the main threat to coral reefs?
A. Declining ocean acidification. B. Loss of colored algae.
C. Increasing sea temperatures. D. Lack of food source.
9. What do we know from paragraph 3?
A. No actions are taken to protect coral reefs.
B. Coral bleaching is the worst in Australia.
C. Coral reefs have grown rapidly for years.
D. Coral reefs receive impacts globally.
10. What can be the basic way to protect coral reefs?
A. Reducing greenhouse gas emission. B. Transplanting them to the hot parts.
C. Relying on genes science. D. Limiting their spread.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Where Are Coral Reefs Spread?
B. How Can Coral Reefs Survive?
C. Coral Reefs, A New Threat To Ocean Life
D. Coral Reefs, A Busy Underwater Community
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了珊瑚礁的重要性,以及目前面临气温上升的危险处境,强调了减少温室气体的排放的必要性。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“ However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching.”(然而,世界各地的珊瑚礁正受到威胁。海洋变暖会导致珊瑚漂白。)可知海洋温度上升是珊瑚礁的主要威胁。故选C项。
【9题详解】
段落大意题。根据第三段中“ In 2021, the United Nations reported a 14 percent loss of corals across the world largely from rising sea temperatures in the previous 13 years.”(2021 年,联合国报告称,全球珊瑚减少了 14%,主要原因是过去 13 年海水温度上升。)以及“ Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused a serious three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.”(来自菲律宾的数据显示,2015年至2017年期间海洋温度高于平常,导致全球珊瑚礁发生了长达三年的严重白化事件。)可知第三段主要讲述的是珊瑚礁受到的影响是全球性的。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“ Ultimately, scientists add that without a serious decline in greenhouse gas, 99 percent of the world’s coral reefs will be gone by the end of the century.”(最终,科学家补充说,如果温室气体排放量不大幅减少,到本世纪末,世界上 99% 的珊瑚礁将消失。)可推知减少温室气体的排放是保护珊瑚礁的根本办法。故选A项。
【11题详解】
标题归纳题。根据第二段中“ However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching.”(然而,世界各地的珊瑚礁正受到威胁。海洋变暖会导致珊瑚漂白。)以及最后一段中“There is a limit to how quickly corals can adapt warm climate, but if temperatures rise rapidly, then extinction is certain.”(珊瑚礁适应温暖气候的速度是有限的,但如果温度迅速上升,那么灭绝是肯定的。)并结合全文理解可知,这篇文章讲述了珊瑚礁的现状和处境,只有减少温室气体排放才可以让珊瑚存活。B项How Can Coral Reefs Survive?(如何让珊瑚礁存活?)符合主旨。故选B项。

Like many people over the past few years, I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature. I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting. My consumption of new books has doubled as a result--but a recent paper makes me wonder if this will come at the price of my comprehension.
The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel, both at the University of Chicago, and it draws from the “dual process model” of mental processing. According to this-view, we have two ways of assessing information. System 1 is intuitive (直觉的), relying on natural ability and feeling. It is quick, but likely exposed to misinformation. System 2 is analytical involving the use of logic reasoning. It is mentally demanding. When it is engaged, we think our way through the material step by step. For decades, psychologists have designed various tests to determine which of these two systems a person is using. As one example, consider the/ following question: How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark (方舟)? If you answered two, you were probably only considering the core of the question, which is System 1 thinking. To get to the right answer-zero, you need to think more carefully about the wording, which would allow you to remember it was Noah who built the Ark, not Moses. That is the kind of analytical process.
Keysar and Geipel’s brilliant idea was to investigate whether the sensory form-seeing vs. hearing-of the information would make a difference. They found that it did: when answering these kinds of simple questions, participants were more likely to make errors when the sentences were spoken out loud, rather than written.
A greater reliance on our feelings could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical study. For this reason. I will return to reading non-fiction with my eyes rather than my ears. But I won’t stop listening to novels. I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.
12. What does the author think of listening to audiobooks?
A. It is economical. B. It is demanding.
C. It is time-consuming. D. It is relaxing.
13. Which of the following best describes System 2 model?
A. Fairly reliable. B. Fully automatic.
C. Question-centered. D. Emotion-involved.
14. Why is the Ark mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To present a fact. B. To illustrate a view.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To draw a conclusion.
15. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Listening to books comes at a price.
B. Reading non-fiction books benefits.
C. Critical thinking is a must in reading.
D. Ways of processing information differ.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇议论文。文章主要围绕作者使用有声书作为阅读方式的经历和体验展开,并引入了一项关于信息处理方式的研究,以此为基础探讨了有声书对阅读理解可能产生的影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Like many people over the past few years, I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature. I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting.(像许多人一样,在过去的几年里,我发现自己把有声读物作为阅读文学作品的主要手段。我发现在眼睛休息的时候“用耳朵阅读”要舒服得多。)”以及最后一段“But I won’t stop listening to novels. I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.(但我不会停止听小说。当我的批判性思维得到休息时,我很高兴随自己的情绪流动而去。)”可知,作者认为听有声读物会让人放松。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“System 2 is analytical involving the use of logic reasoning. It is mentally demanding. When it is engaged, we think our way through the material step by step.(系统2是分析性的,涉及逻辑推理的使用。这是精神上的要求。当它参与时,我们一步一步地思考材料。)”可知,System 2涉及使用逻辑推理进行信息处理,它要求精神上的努力,通过一步一步地思考材料来得出结论。因此,System 2的结果相对可靠得多。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“As one example, consider the/ following question: How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark(方舟)? If you answered two, you were probably only considering the core of the question, which is System 1 thinking. To get to the right answer-zero, you need to think more carefully about the wording, which would allow you to remember it was Noah who built the Ark, not Moses. That is the kind of analytical process.(举个例子,考虑下面的问题:摩西带了多少种动物上了方舟?如果你回答了两个,你可能只考虑了问题的核心,即系统1思维。为了得到正确的答案——零,你需要更仔细地思考措辞,这将使你记住是诺亚建造了方舟,而不是摩西。这是一种分析过程。)”可知,作者提到方舟是为了举例说明一个观点,即System 1和System 2在处理信息时的不同方式。通过提出“摩西在方舟上带了多少种动物?”的问题,并解释正确答案是如何通过更仔细地考虑措辞得出的,作者展示了System 2涉及的逻辑推理过程。因此,方舟的提及是为了阐明关于信息处理方式的观点。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章内容可知,作者通过分享自己使用有声书作为阅读方式的经历,以及引入关于信息处理方式的研究,意在表明听书可能会带来理解上的代价。文章提到,尽管听书让作者增加了阅读量,但研究结果显示,听书在处理某些信息时可能不如阅读书面材料准确。特别是对于那些需要逻辑研究的信息,听书可能导致更多的错误。因此,作者认为听书是有代价的,特别是在理解方面。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了西藏自治区尽管部分高海拔地区降雨异常多,但秋收仍接近完成,且预计粮食总产量保持稳定。
【36题详解】
考查动词语态。句意:据《西藏日报》报道,上周该地区96%以上的粮食已收割完毕。根据时间状语last week可知,句子描述的是过去的事情,且主语grains和harvest之间是被动关系,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数,be动词用were。故填were harvested。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:西藏自治区农业农村厅官员陈义生告诉该报:“在一些高海拔地区,降雨量比平时多,影响了青稞等主要作物的生长和收获。”此处特指上文提到的“Xizang Daily”,应用定冠词the。故填the。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是前面整个句子,关系词在从句中作主语,应用关系代词which引导。故填which。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:农业机械也被用来提高秋收效率,减少天气造成的损失。be used to do sth.为固定用法,意为“被用来做某事”,所以空处应用动词不定式。故填to improve。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。空处是非谓语动词作后置定语,修饰名词losses,cause和losses之间是逻辑动宾关系,应用过去分词形式。故填caused。
【41题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:这些努力帮助大多数农业地区在预期的寒冷时期到来之前完成了收割。effort“努力”是可数名词,由These可知,应用名词复数形式,作主语。故填efforts。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:今年,政府为农民提供了超过6亿元的农业财政支持,用于保护农田土壤和购买农业机械等措施。provide sb. with sth.为固定搭配,意为“为某人提供某物”。故填with。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:同上。protecting farmland soil和buying agricultural machinery之间是并列关系,应用连词and连接。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查副词。句意:目前,收割的青稞、小麦和其他谷物正在干燥和储存。空处修饰整个句子,应用副词currently,作状语,意为“目前”,句首单词,首字母应大写。故填Currently。
【45题详解】
考查名词所有格。句意:鉴于秋收的进展,预计今年的粮食总产量将保持在通常的110万吨以上水平。空处修饰名词短语total grain output,应用名词所有格形式,表示“今年的”。故填year’s。

47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Resting on my sofa after school, I gazed at my shelf of glistening gold medals and trophies (奖杯). A certain trophy caught my eye and I picked it up. “Sunshine Primary School 2016 Basketball-Champion.” As I admired that trophy, I began to recall those incidents leading to how I received it.
When I was in Primary Five, I was in the basketball school team. Every month, we would have a basketball match against another school’s basketball team. In spite of the amount of training we had, we had never won a single match before. That was due to our lack of teamwork. Our team would argue over little things and then, we would refuse to play after it. Our coach was at his wit’s end. Looking at the number of matches we had lost, I knew we had to do something.
During one of our training sessions, our team split into two to have a match against each other. “Three, two, one, start!” our basketball coach, Coach Leong, yelled. John, who was in my team, managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air. From the moment John grabbed the ball, he refused to let anyone take it. “Pass the ball to me, John!” I exclaimed. I was at a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop then. To my dismay, John made an annoying face at me. Out of frustration, I leapt towards John and made an attempt to snatch the ball, which turned out to be a battle between John and I. Coach Leong shook his head and boomed like an active volcano, “Children! Is this the type of behaviour I should be seeing from you? The match is in four weeks and if you are going to behave like this during the match, you will bring shame to me, the school and yourselves! Don’t you even know the importance of teamwork?” Coach Leong sighed and gave us a disappointed look. It seemed as if he had some sad news he hadn’t announced to us, but could not bear to do so. I was right.
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。
That day, Coach Leong announced that he would be retiring after our competition.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The day of the basketball match came.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
That day, Coach Leong announced that he would be retiring after our competition. His voice trembled with emotion as he shared the news, casting a somber mood over the team. Understanding dawned upon us — the upcoming game wasn’t just about winning; it was our last chance to honor Coach Leong’s dedication and years of hard work. We doubled our efforts during practices, focusing on coordination, trust, and passing rather than individual glory. Through sweat and perseverance, we gradually learned to function as a cohesive unit.
The day of the basketball match arrived. For one final pep talk, Coach Leong’s eyes gleamed with a mixture of hope and pride, reminding us that this game was for him, for our school, and most importantly, for ourselves. Stepping onto the court, we played like never before — passing precisely, communicating effectively, and supporting each other at every turn. As the final whistle blew, marking our victory, tears welled up in Coach Leong’s eyes. Holding that championship trophy high, we knew we had not only won the game but also rediscovered the true essence of teamwork.
【解析】

Malaria has been a deadly problem for humans since ancient times. Usually, people get malaria when infected mosquitoes bite them. Countless people have died from the disease. Thankfully, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou found an effective drug called qinghaosu.
This year marks the 53rd anniversary of Tu’s discovery. In 1969, Tu became the director of a national project to develop a drug against malaria. Her team took a unique approach. They studied books about classical Chinese medicine. After reading more than 2,000 old remedies (疗法), Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and listed almost 380 possible remedies for malaria.
One remedy, which is 1,600 years old, uses sweet wormwood as a treatment. Tu found it effective and tried to extract the qinghaosu from it in order to make a drug. The extraction failed at first, so Tu returned to the classical books again and finally found a way. She used a low-temperature method to extract the qinghaosu and finally succeeded in 1972.
After her team showed that qinghaosu could treat malaria in mice and monkeys, Tu and two of her colleagues volunteered to test the drug on themselves before testing on human patients. It turned out that qinghaosu was safe and all patients in the test recovered. Gradually, qinghaosu became the first-line treatment for malaria recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), saving millions of lives around the world.
In 2015, when Tu was awarded with the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, she refused to take all of the credit. Instead, she praised her colleagues and Chinese traditional medicine. She once said: “Every scientist dreams of doing something that can help the world.”
4. When did she extract the qinghaosu successfully?
A. In 1969. B. In 1972. C. In 2000. D. In 2015.
5. What did she do when her first extraction failed?
A. She kept on trying new methods. B. She used sweet wormwood as a treatment.
C. She made a drug from qinghaosu. D. She buried herself in classical books again.
6. Which of the following can best describe Tu?
A. Warm-hearted and strong-minded. B. Cold-blooded but hardworking.
C. Devoted and determined. D. Kind and energetic.
7. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Traditional Chinese Medicine plays an important role in her discovery.
B. She won an award because she volunteered to test the drug.
C. Qinghaosu was recommended as the first-line treatment for malaria.
D. Tu thought she didn’t deserve the award.
C
Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) are a unique ocean ecosystem consisting of rocky structures mainly formed by coral animals and some other ocean life. Despite only covering 0. 2 percent of the ocean floor, coral reefs support at least 25 percent of marine species, as well as providing food and economic security for hundreds of millions of people.
However, coral reefs across the world are under threat. Warmer oceans can cause the coral bleaching(漂白). It happens when the corals lose colored algae(海藻) living in their bodies and turn completely white. Without the algae, the corals lose their main food source and can die. In addition, as oceans become more acidic(酸性的) from absorbing CO₂, corals in acidic conditions become weak in forming reefs.
In 2021, the United Nations reported a 14 percent loss of corals across the world largely from rising sea temperatures in the previous 13 years. Australia declared mass bleaching events in 2022 across large parts of the Great Barrier Reef, four times since 2016. Data from the Philippines showed higher than usual ocean temperatures between 2015 and 2017 had caused a serious three-year bleaching events in reefs across the planet.
Scientists have been cooperating to see how coral reefs can be protected. Thankfully, they find those coral reefs in the hot parts of the globe are the worst affected. They contain corals with better heat resistance. So their research focus on finding genes(基因) for heat tolerance so that they can be passed on to future generations. Biologists also mix corals that are more resilient to higher temperatures with those that are not and the resulting generation has a better chance of survival.
Ultimately, scientists add that without a serious decline in greenhouse gas, 99 percent of the world’s coral reefs will be gone by the end of the century. There is a limit to how quickly corals can adapt warm climate, but if temperatures rise rapidly, then extinction is certain.
8. Which is the main threat to coral reefs?
A. Declining ocean acidification. B. Loss of colored algae.
C. Increasing sea temperatures. D. Lack of food source.
9. What do we know from paragraph 3?
A. No actions are taken to protect coral reefs.
B. Coral bleaching is the worst in Australia.
C. Coral reefs have grown rapidly for years.
D. Coral reefs receive impacts globally.
10. What can be the basic way to protect coral reefs?
A. Reducing greenhouse gas emission. B. Transplanting them to the hot parts.
C. Relying on genes science. D. Limiting their spread.

Like many people over the past few years, I have found myself turning to audiobooks as my main means of reading literature. I find it far more comfortable to “read with my ears” while my eyes are resting. My consumption of new books has doubled as a result--but a recent paper makes me wonder if this will come at the price of my comprehension.
The study comes from Boaz Keysar and Janet Geipel, both at the University of Chicago, and it draws from the “dual process model” of mental processing. According to this-view, we have two ways of assessing information. System 1 is intuitive (直觉的), relying on natural ability and feeling. It is quick, but likely exposed to misinformation. System 2 is analytical involving the use of logic reasoning. It is mentally demanding. When it is engaged, we think our way through the material step by step. For decades, psychologists have designed various tests to determine which of these two systems a person is using. As one example, consider the/ following question: How many animals of each kind did Moses take on the Ark (方舟)? If you answered two, you were probably only considering the core of the question, which is System 1 thinking. To get to the right answer-zero, you need to think more carefully about the wording, which would allow you to remember it was Noah who built the Ark, not Moses. That is the kind of analytical process.
Keysar and Geipel’s brilliant idea was to investigate whether the sensory form-seeing vs. hearing-of the information would make a difference. They found that it did: when answering these kinds of simple questions, participants were more likely to make errors when the sentences were spoken out loud, rather than written.
A greater reliance on our feelings could be a problem if we are consuming information that needs logical study. For this reason. I will return to reading non-fiction with my eyes rather than my ears. But I won’t stop listening to novels. I am quite happy to go with the flow of my emotions while my critical mind takes a break.
12. What does the author think of listening to audiobooks?
A. It is economical. B. It is demanding.
C. It is time-consuming. D. It is relaxing.
13. Which of the following best describes System 2 model?
A. Fairly reliable. B. Fully automatic.
C. Question-centered. D. Emotion-involved.
14. Why is the Ark mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To present a fact. B. To illustrate a view.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To draw a conclusion.
15. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. Listening to books comes at a price.
B. Reading non-fiction books benefits.
C. Critical thinking is a must in reading.
D. Ways of processing information differ.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Resting on my sofa after school, I gazed at my shelf of glistening gold medals and trophies (奖杯). A certain trophy caught my eye and I picked it up. “Sunshine Primary School 2016 Basketball-Champion.” As I admired that trophy, I began to recall those incidents leading to how I received it.
When I was in Primary Five, I was in the basketball school team. Every month, we would have a basketball match against another school’s basketball team. In spite of the amount of training we had, we had never won a single match before. That was due to our lack of teamwork. Our team would argue over little things and then, we would refuse to play after it. Our coach was at his wit’s end. Looking at the number of matches we had lost, I knew we had to do something.
During one of our training sessions, our team split into two to have a match against each other. “Three, two, one, start!” our basketball coach, Coach Leong, yelled. John, who was in my team, managed to grab the ball that Coach Leong threw in the air. From the moment John grabbed the ball, he refused to let anyone take it. “Pass the ball to me, John!” I exclaimed. I was at a good position to shoot the ball into the hoop then. To my dismay, John made an annoying face at me. Out of frustration, I leapt towards John and made an attempt to snatch the ball, which turned out to be a battle between John and I. Coach Leong shook his head and boomed like an active volcano, “Children! Is this the type of behaviour I should be seeing from you? The match is in four weeks and if you are going to behave like this during the match, you will bring shame to me, the school and yourselves! Don’t you even know the importance of teamwork?” Coach Leong sighed and gave us a disappointed look. It seemed as if he had some sad news he hadn’t announced to us, but could not bear to do so. I was right.
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。
That day, Coach Leong announced that he would be retiring after our competition.

The day of the basketball match came.
