She sat down, focused on her work with her head down. Suddenly, she looked up and saw a gentleman walking towards her. He held out his hand with an envelope in it and said,“ Happy holidays.” Courtney reached out her hand too, smiled and introduced herself,“ Hi, I’m Courtney.” The man replied warmly,“ Hi, my name is Jim. Happy holidays.” The envelope had just one simple word on it: Enjoy. She opened the envelope and found five 20-dollar bills inside. Courtney said, “I can’t accept this.” But Jim insisted (坚持),“ You have to. My only request is that you don’t use it to pay bills or rent. Use it to treat yourself to something nice.” Courtney couldn’t hold back her emotions at that moment. She felt overwhelmed (不知所措) and even a little teary-eyed. It was such an unexpected kindness that she had never experienced before. Jim told Courtney that he had been giving out envelopes with different amounts of cash for more than two years. He had several more envelopes with him that day, so Courtney was sure many other people in Boston got the same sweet surprise from him. She thought Jim was truly the most wonderful person. Courtney knew how meaningful the $100 was, especially during the holiday season. It was by no means a small amount of money. Someone’s selfless generosity made her stop and reflect, and she smiled for the rest of the day. She couldn’t stop telling everyone about Jim’s story, because she thought this warm act deserved to be known by more people. When Courtney asked Jim why he did this, he just said, “I want to make people smile.” Courtney replied happily, “Well, you succeeded!” 41. What was Courtney doing when she met Jim? A. She was taking a break. B. She was dealing with her work. C. She was attending a meeting. D. She was waiting for her friend. 42. What did Jim expect Courtney to do? A. Give the money to the poor. B. Share the money with others. C. Buy a gift for someone she loved. D. Use the money for personal enjoyment. 43. How did Courtney feel after she opened the envelope? A. Nervous and fearful. B. Pleased and relaxed. C. Surprised and touched. D. Worried and unconfident. 44. What does Courtney think of Jim? A. He is rich and wonderful. B. He is truly generous and kind. C. He is caring towards the poor. D. He is good at making friends. 45. Why did Courtney choose to share Jim’s story to everyone she met? A. To show off her good luck in receiving money. B. To remind people of the importance of small kindness. C. To ask for donations for homeless people in Boston. D. To explain why she was late for the meeting. 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. B 45. B 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了吉姆两年多来一直匿名向路人派送现金传递善意，考特尼收到了他赠予她百元现金，这份突如其来的温暖深深打动考特尼，她主动分享这份暖心故事，让善意被更多人知晓。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“She sat down, focused on her work with her head down.(她坐下来，低头专心投入工作。)”可知，遇见吉姆时她正埋头处理工作。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Use it to treat yourself to something nice.(用它给自己买点好物犒劳一下。)”可知，吉姆希望她把钱用于自身享受。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“She felt overwhelmed (不知所措) and even a little teary-eyed.

For generations, her family had lived among the green lands in the heart of the Hunza valley of Pakistan-administered Gilgit-Baltistan region. “In the morning, I went to school. But then my teacher told me that Hassanabad bridge had fallen in.” A glacial (冰川的) lake had formed, then suddenly broke out — sending water and rocks rushing down the valley. The ground shook so strongly that some people thought it was an earthquake. “At first, I thought with our houses so far above the water, there was no way we could be affected — until we received a phone call that our homes had been swept away,” Komal recalls. “Today, walking through the grey rubble (碎石) and dust, there are still coat hangers on the wall and a window with the glass long gone. It’s been two years, but nothing has grown on the broken cliff (悬崖) that used to be my home’s garden,” Komal says. Researchers say climate change is reshaping the landscape across Gilgit-Baltistan and neighbouring Chitral. According to the study, more than 48,000 people across the region are at high risk from a lake outbreak or landslide. Some neighbouring villages are being evacuated (疏散)entirely to safer areas as their homes are considered impossible to live in. However, relocating populations is complex. Many have spent centuries on their land and are unwilling to leave it. Besides, finding another location that is safe and near a reliable water source is also a complex task. “We cannot stop these events, because this is a global issue,” says Zubair Ahmed, an official of the region. “All we can do is take preventive measures and get our people prepared to face such events.” In the village of Passu, just over an hour’s drive from Hassanabad, residents are holding an evacuation training. Additionally, stone and metal barriers have been built to try to slow floodwater, along with systems to monitor glacier melting (融化), rainfall and water levels. But many who work here say they need more resources. 46. What happened to Komal? A. The heavy rain flooded her school. B. Her village experienced a strong earthquake. C.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述冰川湖溃决摧毁了科马尔的家园，气候变化致使当地地质灾害频发，居民搬迁安置困难重重，当地只能采取各类防范举措应对灾害威胁。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第二段“A glacial lake had formed, then suddenly broke out — sending water and rocks rushing down the valley.(一处冰川湖形成后突然溃决，洪水裹挟岩石顺着山谷汹涌而下。)” 以及第三段 “until we received a phone call that our homes had been swept away.(直到我们接到电话得知家园已被冲走。)”可知，科马尔的家遭到冰川湖溃决破坏。 【47题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第四段“It’s been two years, but nothing has grown on the broken cliff that used to be my home’s garden.(两年过去了，曾经家中花园所在的残破崖壁上依旧寸草不生)”可知，当地民众遭受的损害影响深远持久。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第六段“However, relocating populations is complex. Many have spent centuries on their land and are unwilling to leave it.(然而人口搬迁工作十分复杂，当地民众世代居住于此，不愿离开故土。)”可知，搬迁安置工作面临诸多现实难题。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第七段“We cannot stop these events, because this is a global issue (我们无法阻止这类灾害发生，这是全球性问题)” 可知，该区域无法彻底杜绝自然灾害的发生。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据原文最后一段“residents are holding an evacuation training. Additionally, stone and metal barriers have been built to try to slow floodwater, along with systems to monitor glacier melting, rainfall and water levels.(当地居民开展疏散演练，还修筑挡水设施，并搭建监测系统监控冰川融化、降水与水位情况。)”可知，本段主要介绍为应对潜在危险所开展的各项防备工作。 D A pair of 19-year-old students from Portugal has developed a new all-terrain (全地形) reforestation robot designed to plant trees in wildfire-damaged areas that are too steep or dangerous for people or heavy machines to enter. The robot, called Trovador, is a six-legged, AI-enabled planting system created by college students Marta Bernardino and Sebastião Mendonça, who began the project after seeing repeated forest loss near their homes outside Lisbon. Portugal is one of Europe’s most wildfire-affected countries. A 2024 study found that more than 1.2 million acres (英亩) burned between 1980 and 2023, about 54% of its territory. With more than 60% of Portugal’s forests lying on difficult hills, traditional replanting methods have struggled to keep up with frequent fires and degraded soil. Drones (无人机) have also been explored for seeding (播种) in the air, but they are unable to spread thousands of seeds per acre precisely. Bernardino notes that “drones may waste natural resources,” and that some pilot projects have shown survival rates of 0-20%. Trovador instead plants young trees one by one, reducing waste and has been shown to achieve 85-90% survival in field tests. With the robot capable of planting up to 200 trees per hour, Trovador also uploads GPS coordinates (坐标), soil data, and battery information to the cloud, enabling remote monitoring. The project has already attracted significant attention. Landscape architect Miguel Jerónimo says the idea “offers a set of workable methods for reforestation in areas that are unsafe or difficult for people to enter,” but he suggests its ability to move through the wild and long-term performance must be proved before widespread application. Cost is another concern. Bernardino and Mendonca, however, plan to address this by offering Trovador as a service rather than a hardware product. Under their model, governments, forestry companies, and NGOs can map out an area in an app, select local species, and receive a price for the trees used. The team expects the approach to be significantly cheaper than both human planting and drone-based methods once seed waste is considered. 51. Why was the robot Trovador developed? A. To improve traditional planting methods. B. To prevent wildfires from spreading rapidly. C. To plant trees in hard-to-reach burned areas. D. To help machines easily enter fire-damaged areas. 52. What is the key advantage of Trovador over drones? A. It wastes less and helps more trees survive. B. It is easier to produce and operate. C. It can be remotely monitored. D. It can spread seeds faster. 53. What is Miguel’s attitude toward Trovador? A. He is doubtful about its practical value. B. He is supportive and urges immediate use. C. He is hopeful yet asks for more field tests. D. He is disappointed at its poor performance. 54. How do the inventors make Trovador affordable? A. By offering it as a paid planting service. B. By getting government funding support. C. By using cheaper materials to build it. D. By selling it at a very low price. 55. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Wildfires in Portugal: A Growing Crisis. B. Trovador: A New Hope for Reforesting Damaged Lands. C. Drone Seeding: The Future of Forest Restoration. D. How to Restore Forests After Wildfires. 【答案】51. C 52. A 53. C 54. A 55. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍两名葡萄牙大学生研发出六足AI植树机器人Trovador，该机器人可深入人类与大型设备难以抵达的火灾损毁陡坡区域植树，为火灾后难以进入的区域带来了造林新希望。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A pair of 19-year-old students from Portugal has developed a new all-terrain (全地形) reforestation robot designed to plant trees in wildfire-damaged areas that are too steep or dangerous for people or heavy machines to enter.(两名葡萄牙19岁学生研发出一款新型全地形造林机器人，可在山势陡峭、人员与重型机械无法抵达的火灾受灾区域植树造林。)”可知，研发这款机器人的原因是前往人难以抵达的过火区域植树。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Bernardino notes that “drones may waste natural resources,” and that some pilot projects have shown survival rates of 0-20%.(贝尔纳迪诺指出，无人机播种会耗费自然资源，部分试点项目树苗存活率仅为0至20%。)”和第五段“Trovador instead plants young trees one by one, reducing waste and has been shown to achieve 85-90% survival in field tests.(而Trovador机器人逐棵栽种幼苗，减少资源损耗，实地测试存活率可达85% 至90%。)”可知，相较无人机，Trovador 的核心优势是损耗少、树苗存活率更高。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Landscape architect Miguel Jerónimo says the idea “offers a set of workable methods for reforestation in areas that are unsafe or difficult for people to enter,” but he suggests its ability to move through the wild and long-term performance must be proved before widespread application.(景观设计师米格尔・杰罗尼莫表示，该设备为人员难以涉足的危险区域造林提供了可行方案，但他认为，其野外通行能力与长期运行稳定性，需验证后方可大规模投入使用。)”可知，Miguel对这款机器人的态度是抱有期待，同时要求更多实地测试验证性能。 【54题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Cost is another concern. Bernardino and Mendonca, however, plan to address this by offering Trovador as a service rather than a hardware product.(成本是另一大难题。不过贝尔纳迪诺和门东萨打算以提供造林服务、而非售卖设备的方式解决该问题。)”可知，发明者打算提供提供付费植树服务，而非售卖设备降低设备使用成本。 【55题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A pair of 19-year-old students from Portugal has developed a new all-terrain (全地形) reforestation robot designed to plant trees in wildfire-damaged areas that are too steep or dangerous for people or heavy machines to enter.(两名葡萄牙19岁学生研发出一款新型全地形造林机器人，可在山势陡峭、人员与重型机械无法抵达的火灾受灾区域植树造林。)”可知，本文介绍两名葡萄牙大学生研发出六足AI植树机器人Trovador，该机器人可深入人类与大型设备难以抵达的火灾损毁陡坡区域植树，为火灾后难以进入的区域带来了造林新希望。B项“Trovador：受损林地重获绿意的新希望”为最好的标题。 第Ⅱ卷(主观题 共45分) IV.

Read the following passage and answer the following questions. (2points each, 10 points in total) Breon Pass was a standout receiver in football for Reidsville High School, helping his team win back-to-back North Carolina High School 2A championships in his junior and senior seasons. He also played baseball. Basketball, however, was always his true frenzy. Pass never became a star for the Wolfpack, NC State University’s men’s basketball team. In 116 games, he averaged 2.4 points per game. But he shone in his final game at the Lenovo Center, hitting a career high of 14, and he won an ACC championship in 2024. In the modern era of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) payment opportunities and transfer portal rules (转校规则) — where players have unlimited chances to play at different schools — Pass will be one of just eight Atlantic Coast Conference men’s players who will graduate this spring from the school where he first joined without ever transferring. “It’s been a great four years.” Pass says. “I’ve had a great experience. It has been a little different, the way college basketball works now. A lot of players transfer in and out, but those are all relationships you can keep for the rest of your life. That’s a good thing.” Every step of the way has been a learning experience, and he knows enough to give some advice to the next generation of college basketball players, especially those lucky enough to earn NIL money during their careers. “NIL’s a good opportunity, but don’t just go after money. Pick a school that fits you. One day, the NIL will run out, so you have to learn to be smart with the money. It’s fine to buy things you want, but you have to invest in things that are important,” Pass says. 66. What does the underlined part “frenzy” in paragraph 1 probably mean? (no more than 3 words) __________________________________________________________________________ 67. How many points did Breon Pass score in his final college basketball game? (no more than 5 words) __________________________________________________________________________ 68. What does Pass think of some players’ transferring? (no more than 10 words) __________________________________________________________________________ 69. What advice does Pass give to those who earn NIL money? (no more than 14 words) __________________________________________________________________________ 70. What kind of person is Pass? How are you inspired by him after learning his experience, please explain. (no more than 25 words) __________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】66. Great passion/love. 67. He scored 14 points. 68. He thinks it brings life-long friendships. 69. Prioritize fit over money and manage funds wisely. 70. He is loyal and wise. He inspires me to stay committed and be smart with money instead of chasing it blindly.（答案不唯一） 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述运动员Breon Pass坚守母校从未转学，赛场踏实成长，并结合自身经历给后辈提出理性看待薪资、谨慎择校与合理理财建议的故事。 【66题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据上文“Breon Pass was a standout receiver in football for Reidsville High School, helping his team win back-to-back North Carolina High School 2A championships in his junior and senior seasons. He also played baseball.(布里翁・帕斯是里兹维尔高中出色的橄榄球外接手，高二、高三赛季助力球队连续两届斩获北卡罗来纳州高中2A级赛事冠军。他同时也打棒球。)”可知，上文说他打橄榄球、棒球，however表转折，说明篮球是他真正热爱的事物，由此猜测frenzy 意为“热爱、热衷”。 【67题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段“But he shone in his final game at the Lenovo Center, hitting a career high of 14, and he won an ACC championship in 2024.(但他在联想中心球馆的收官之战中表现亮眼，砍下生涯最高分14分，并在2024年夺得大西洋海岸联盟赛事冠军)”可知，他的收官比赛拿到14分。 【68题详解】 考查推理判断。根据第四段“A lot of players transfer in and out, but those are all relationships you can keep for the rest of your life.(很多球员进进出出、转学来又转学走，但那些情谊都是你可以维系一辈子的关系。)”可知，他认为转学能维系长久情谊。 【69题详解】 考查细节理解。根据最后一段““NIL’s a good opportunity, but don’t just go after money. Pick a school that fits you. One day, the NIL will run out, so you have to learn to be smart with the money. It’s fine to buy things you want, but you have to invest in things that are important,” Pass says(帕斯表示：“姓名肖像权变现是不错的机遇，但切莫一味追逐钱财。选择契合自身的院校。这份收益终会耗尽，务必学会合理规划资金。购置心仪物品无可厚非，但也要为重要之事做好投资。”)”可知，他建议优先考量适配度，而非金钱，理性规划资金。 【70题详解】 考查开放性试题。可以参考的答案是：他忠诚且睿智。他激励我坚守本心、理性理财，而非盲目追名逐利。（答案不唯一，言之有理即可） VI.

B One Wednesday morning before Christmas, Courtney Schermerhorn arrived early for a meeting in downtown Boston, so she stopped at a coffee shop to pass the time. She sat down, focused on her work with her head down. Suddenly, she looked up and saw a gentleman walking towards her. He held out his hand with an envelope in it and said,“ Happy holidays.” Courtney reached out her hand too, smiled and introduced herself,“ Hi, I’m Courtney.” The man replied warmly,“ Hi, my name is Jim. Happy holidays.” The envelope had just one simple word on it: Enjoy. She opened the envelope and found five 20-dollar bills inside. Courtney said, “I can’t accept this.” But Jim insisted (坚持),“ You have to. My only request is that you don’t use it to pay bills or rent. Use it to treat yourself to something nice.” Courtney couldn’t hold back her emotions at that moment. She felt overwhelmed (不知所措) and even a little teary-eyed. It was such an unexpected kindness that she had never experienced before. Jim told Courtney that he had been giving out envelopes with different amounts of cash for more than two years. He had several more envelopes with him that day, so Courtney was sure many other people in Boston got the same sweet surprise from him. She thought Jim was truly the most wonderful person. Courtney knew how meaningful the $100 was, especially during the holiday season. It was by no means a small amount of money. Someone’s selfless generosity made her stop and reflect, and she smiled for the rest of the day. She couldn’t stop telling everyone about Jim’s story, because she thought this warm act deserved to be known by more people. When Courtney asked Jim why he did this, he just said, “I want to make people smile.” Courtney replied happily, “Well, you succeeded!” 41. What was Courtney doing when she met Jim? A. She was taking a break. B. She was dealing with her work. C. She was attending a meeting. D. She was waiting for her friend. 42. What did Jim expect Courtney to do? A. Give the money to the poor. B. Share the money with others. C. Buy a gift for someone she loved. D. Use the money for personal enjoyment. 43. How did Courtney feel after she opened the envelope? A. Nervous and fearful. B. Pleased and relaxed. C. Surprised and touched. D. Worried and unconfident. 44. What does Courtney think of Jim? A. He is rich and wonderful. B. He is truly generous and kind. C. He is caring towards the poor. D. He is good at making friends. 45. Why did Courtney choose to share Jim’s story to everyone she met? A. To show off her good luck in receiving money. B. To remind people of the importance of small kindness. C. To ask for donations for homeless people in Boston. D. To explain why she was late for the meeting. C “It was a sunny day,” says Komal, 18. For generations, her family had lived among the green lands in the heart of the Hunza valley of Pakistan-administered Gilgit-Baltistan region. “In the morning, I went to school. But then my teacher told me that Hassanabad bridge had fallen in.” A glacial (冰川的) lake had formed, then suddenly broke out — sending water and rocks rushing down the valley. The ground shook so strongly that some people thought it was an earthquake. “At first, I thought with our houses so far above the water, there was no way we could be affected — until we received a phone call that our homes had been swept away,” Komal recalls. “Today, walking through the grey rubble (碎石) and dust, there are still coat hangers on the wall and a window with the glass long gone. It’s been two years, but nothing has grown on the broken cliff (悬崖) that used to be my home’s garden,” Komal says. Researchers say climate change is reshaping the landscape across Gilgit-Baltistan and neighbouring Chitral. According to the study, more than 48,000 people across the region are at high risk from a lake outbreak or landslide. Some neighbouring villages are being evacuated (疏散)entirely to safer areas as their homes are considered impossible to live in. However, relocating populations is complex. Many have spent centuries on their land and are unwilling to leave it. Besides, finding another location that is safe and near a reliable water source is also a complex task. “We cannot stop these events, because this is a global issue,” says Zubair Ahmed, an official of the region. “All we can do is take preventive measures and get our people prepared to face such events.” In the village of Passu, just over an hour’s drive from Hassanabad, residents are holding an evacuation training. Additionally, stone and metal barriers have been built to try to slow floodwater, along with systems to monitor glacier melting (融化), rainfall and water levels. But many who work here say they need more resources. 46. What happened to Komal? A. The heavy rain flooded her school. B. Her village experienced a strong earthquake. C. The bridge near her home was hit by a landslide. D. Her home was destroyed by a glacial lake outbreak. 47. What can be learnt from Komal’s words in paragraph 4? A. Villagers have moved to safer areas. B. Local people suffer long-lasting damage. C. The plants recover slowly once destroyed. D. Houses have been rebuilt in the damaged areas. 48. What do we know about the relocation measures? A. They have been applied across the region. B. They are widely accepted by local people. C. They are unnecessary due to climate change. D. They face a number of practical difficulties. 49. What can we learn from Zubair Ahmed’s words in the text? A. It is impossible to completely avoid natural disasters in the region. B. Local people can easily move to safer areas for living. C. Relocating residents is a simple and quick process. D. The government has no effective measures to deal with such events. 50. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. Steps of the evacuation training. B. The frequency of glacier melting in Passu. C. Preparations made to deal with possible dangers. D. The effectiveness of the disaster monitoring system. D A pair of 19-year-old students from Portugal has developed a new all-terrain (全地形) reforestation robot designed to plant trees in wildfire-damaged areas that are too steep or dangerous for people or heavy machines to enter. The robot, called Trovador, is a six-legged, AI-enabled planting system created by college students Marta Bernardino and Sebastião Mendonça, who began the project after seeing repeated forest loss near their homes outside Lisbon. Portugal is one of Europe’s most wildfire-affected countries. A 2024 study found that more than 1.2 million acres (英亩) burned between 1980 and 2023, about 54% of its territory. With more than 60% of Portugal’s forests lying on difficult hills, traditional replanting methods have struggled to keep up with frequent fires and degraded soil. Drones (无人机) have also been explored for seeding (播种) in the air, but they are unable to spread thousands of seeds per acre precisely. Bernardino notes that “drones may waste natural resources,” and that some pilot projects have shown survival rates of 0-20%. Trovador instead plants young trees one by one, reducing waste and has been shown to achieve 85-90% survival in field tests. With the robot capable of planting up to 200 trees per hour, Trovador also uploads GPS coordinates (坐标), soil data, and battery information to the cloud, enabling remote monitoring. The project has already attracted significant attention. Landscape architect Miguel Jerónimo says the idea “offers a set of workable methods for reforestation in areas that are unsafe or difficult for people to enter,” but he suggests its ability to move through the wild and long-term performance must be proved before widespread application. Cost is another concern. Bernardino and Mendonca, however, plan to address this by offering Trovador as a service rather than a hardware product. Under their model, governments, forestry companies, and NGOs can map out an area in an app, select local species, and receive a price for the trees used. The team expects the approach to be significantly cheaper than both human planting and drone-based methods once seed waste is considered. 51. Why was the robot Trovador developed? A. To improve traditional planting methods. B. To prevent wildfires from spreading rapidly. C. To plant trees in hard-to-reach burned areas. D. To help machines easily enter fire-damaged areas. 52. What is the key advantage of Trovador over drones? A. It wastes less and helps more trees survive. B. It is easier to produce and operate. C. It can be remotely monitored. D. It can spread seeds faster. 53. What is Miguel’s attitude toward Trovador? A. He is doubtful about its practical value. B. He is supportive and urges immediate use. C. He is hopeful yet asks for more field tests. D. He is disappointed at its poor performance. 54. How do the inventors make Trovador affordable? A. By offering it as a paid planting service. B. By getting government funding support. C. By using cheaper materials to build it. D. By selling it at a very low price. 55. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Wildfires in Portugal: A Growing Crisis. B. Trovador: A New Hope for Reforesting Damaged Lands. C. Drone Seeding: The Future of Forest Restoration. D. How to Restore Forests After Wildfires. 第Ⅱ卷(主观题 共45分) IV. Complete sentences with words. (1 point each, 10 points in total) 56.

(2points each, 10 points in total) Breon Pass was a standout receiver in football for Reidsville High School, helping his team win back-to-back North Carolina High School 2A championships in his junior and senior seasons. He also played baseball. Basketball, however, was always his true frenzy. Pass never became a star for the Wolfpack, NC State University’s men’s basketball team. In 116 games, he averaged 2.4 points per game. But he shone in his final game at the Lenovo Center, hitting a career high of 14, and he won an ACC championship in 2024. In the modern era of Name, Image and Likeness (NIL) payment opportunities and transfer portal rules (转校规则) — where players have unlimited chances to play at different schools — Pass will be one of just eight Atlantic Coast Conference men’s players who will graduate this spring from the school where he first joined without ever transferring. “It’s been a great four years.” Pass says. “I’ve had a great experience. It has been a little different, the way college basketball works now. A lot of players transfer in and out, but those are all relationships you can keep for the rest of your life. That’s a good thing.” Every step of the way has been a learning experience, and he knows enough to give some advice to the next generation of college basketball players, especially those lucky enough to earn NIL money during their careers. “NIL’s a good opportunity, but don’t just go after money. Pick a school that fits you. One day, the NIL will run out, so you have to learn to be smart with the money. It’s fine to buy things you want, but you have to invest in things that are important,” Pass says. 66. What does the underlined part “frenzy” in paragraph 1 probably mean?
