I have long been skeptical (怀疑的) about the idea that phones are addictive devices. However, a few months ago, I began to worry that I was spending too much time on my phone, often switching between online news and short-video apps.
When I read about changing my phone to black-and-white mode, I decided to try it. The result was surprising. The moment I turned off the color, I no longer felt the same urgent need to check my phone. I experienced a strong sense of relief. It felt as if an invisible bond had been cut.
After that, I began leaving my phone in another room as I moved around the house. I’d go hours without checking it, rather than just minutes. The amount of time I spent on my phone dropped by about 40 percent.
Scientists call this condition “problematic smartphone use,” which refers to the difficulty controlling the urge to use a phone, often to the point that it affects daily life. For me, checking my phone was often a way to reduce anxiety.
Life in grayscale (黑白模式) also brought some small inconveniences. For example, I sometimes hung up calls by mistake because both buttons were gray. Photos also looked strange, especially the colorful images sent by my family.
However, I discovered that games were less appealing in black and white, and social media apps became less interesting. Gradually, I started using my phone less and paying more attention to real life.
After a few weeks, I noticed another change. I began reading more books, spending more time with my family, and planning social activities. I found myself enjoying these real-world experiences more than using my phone.
Now, I feel that turning off color on my phone has made me more aware of the beauty of real life. Although I still use my phone every day, I no longer feel controlled by it.
20. Which sentence in the passage explains why the author felt “controlled” by his phone before using grayscale?
A. After a few weeks, I noticed another change.
B. Life in grayscale also brought some small inconveniences.
C. I have long been skeptical about the idea that phones are addictive devices.
D. I began to worry that I was spending too much time on my phone, often switching between online news and short-video apps.
21. What does the underlined sentence “It felt as if an invisible bond had been cut” in Paragraph 2 most likely mean?
A. The author found the phone less useful in daily life.
B. The author decided to stop using the phone completely.
C. The author became less connected with people around him.
D. The author no longer relied on the phone as much as before.
22. What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A. Digital behavior can be shaped by small adjustments.
B. Technology should replace real-life interaction.
C. Phones are the main source of modern anxiety.
D. Personal habits are difficult to change.
C
Expert birdwatchers have changes in their brain structure compared with beginners, which probably help them better identify birds and may even protect against age-related cognitive (认知的) decline.
When learning or practising a skill, the brain reorganises itself, strengthening and streamlining relevant pathways. This ability, known as neuroplasticity (神经可塑性), supports the development of expert skills. It is why professional musicians show structural changes in brain regions involved in hearing.
To understand whether birding also shapes the brain, Erik Wing at York University and his colleagues analysed brain structure and function in 48 hobbyist birders, half experts and half beginners, as judged by a screening test. Participants were aged 22 to 79, and both groups were similar in terms of sex, age, and education.
While undergoing brain scans, the participants were shown an image of a bird for less than 4 seconds. About 10 seconds later, they tried identifying the same bird from one of four images, each showing a different species. “We intentionally picked highly confusable bird species,” says Wing.
The task was repeated 72 times. In total, the researchers used images of 18 bird species — six of which were local and 12 of which weren’t — as targets.
As expected, expert birders could identify birds better than beginners. On average, they accurately identified 83 percent of local bird species and 61 percent of the non-local ones. In contrast, beginners correctly identified 44 percent of both groups of birds.
While identifying non-local birds, activity in three brain areas increased in expert birders. These areas are the front part of the brain, an inner region related to attention, and a back part of the brain responsible for visual processing. These areas also appeared more organised and structurally complex. “It speaks to the wide range of cognitive processes that are involved in birding,” says Wing.
As we age, structural complexity and organisation in the brain tend to decrease. But this decline was less pronounced in expert birders, suggesting birding may help build cognitive reserve, the brain’s ability to defend itself against ageing and adapt to damage.
“It suggests that maintaining brain activity through specialised abilities is also linked to reduced effects of ageing,” says Robert Zatorre at McGill University. However, to determine whether the brain changes are truly due to birding, researchers would need to scan the brain multiple times over months or years, says Wing.
23. Why did researchers choose “highly confusable bird species”?
A. To keep participants’ attention on birds.
B. To better test real bird-identification skills.
C. To reduce the time needed for the experiment.
D. To concentrate on rare birds from other countries.
24. Which finding best supports the idea of “cognitive reserve”?
A. Beginners rely on memory rather than observation.
B. Beginners have lower accuracy in bird identification.
C. Experts experience slower age-related cognitive decline.
D. Experts show increased activity in three different brain areas.
25. To improve the study, researchers should ________.
A. test only local birds
B. use fewer bird species
C. involve only expert birders
D. follow participants over several years
26. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Why Birds Are Hard to Identify
B. How Nature Improves Mental Health
C. Birdwatching May Reshape the Brain
D. The Age Difference Between Expert Birders
D
Pollution is making many cities increasingly unlivable for people, but it is also tearing ant families and communities apart. Ants recognise one another by detecting a thin layer of hydrocarbons on their exoskeletons; each community has its own distinctive “smell”. However, a new study reveals that ozone emissions (臭氧排放) can change the structure of these hydrocarbons. After ants are exposed to urban air containing around 100 parts per billion of ozone, their nestmates no longer recognise them. Some are attacked by members of their own community, while others neglect larvae (幼虫) exposed to ozone, leaving them to die.
This story is a case of anthropomorphism — projecting human characteristics onto non-human creatures. Although many scientists criticise anthropomorphism as misleading, others draw parallels between ants and humans to explain the evolution (进化) of selflessness and social networks. Famously, entomologist E. O. Wilson used ants as evidence for his theory of “sociobiology,” which suggests that many animal behaviours result from evolutionary necessity. Evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould, however, criticised this idea as “biological determinism,” warning that it could justify unfair genetic policies.
But something fundamental has changed. Deborah Gordon, a Stanford biologist, discovered that ant behaviour can be understood algorithmically (以算法的方式). Working with computer scientists, she showed that ants allocate tasks through distributed signalling networks. If a worker ant discovers a large food source, she leaves behind a chemical trail for others to follow. Other ants detect the signal and realise that more food-searching ants are needed, dropping what they are doing to join the task. There is no leader. Gordon nicknamed this process “the anternet” because it works like the way computer networks manage data flow.
Algorithmic determinism has replaced biological determinism, but the result for ants remains the same: humans continue to use them as examples rather than appreciating them as creatures with their own distinct forms of social life. This brings us back to pollution. Gordon’s anternet depends on ants from the same community meeting, exchanging information, and determining whether to assist their sisters. But when ozone changes their hydrocarbons, they can no longer recognise one another and cooperate effectively. The collapse of communication could ultimately lead to the death of the community.
To humans, this may seem insignificant. But we share the planet with other creatures. If we fail to limit ozone pollution, we may destroy entire social systems beyond our own. Perhaps it is time we should stop using ants as examples for ourselves and our machines, and start caring about who they really are.
27. What ability is most affected after ozone exposure in ants?
A. The ability to recognize nestmates.
B. The ability to locate food sources.
C. The ability to find their nests.
D. The ability to call for help.
28. What does the underlined phrase “draw parallels” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Identify similarities. B. Create conflicts.
C. Conduct experiments. D. Develop theories.
29. What can be inferred about the “anternet” described in the passage?
A. It reduces the need for ants to detect chemicals.
B. It depends heavily on reliable communication signals.
C. It requires a leader to organize food-searching behaviour.
D. It was developed by computer scientists and later used to study ants.
30. What is the author’s attitude toward using ants as examples for humans or machines?
A. Doubtful. B. Critical.
C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
IV. 阅读表达(共4小题;46-48题每小题2分,49题3分,共9分)
阅读下面的短文和问题,根据短文内容,在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息,完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚,结构正确,书写工整。
I used to have an extremely poor natural memory. I constantly struggled to remember names, dates, and vocabulary, and any new knowledge I learned would quickly slip from my mind. Discouraged by this weakness, I decided to master professional memory techniques. As a competitor in my sixties, I won the Australian Memory Championships in both 2017 and 2018. Over the past decade, I have built kilometres of memory palaces to store a wide range of knowledge, including geography, foreign vocabulary, and much more.
The memory palace, also known as the method of loci, is an ancient technique originating in Ancient Greece. Simply put, it is a customized mental space where people store and organize information. Unlike rote memorization, it requires deep understanding rather than blind repetition. I follow several clear steps to build my own memory palaces. First, I choose a familiar location, such as my house, and arrange fixed spots in a clear order, such as the front door, the bookcase, and the table. Second, I attach information to these locations by creating vivid and striking mental associations. Third, I repeatedly take a mental walk through the space in order to become familiar with the sequence. I also follow a rule of marking every fifth location for easier recall, which helps prevent me from missing any information.
I have gained many benefits from this powerful technique. It not only helps me memorize information efficiently but also allows me to keep knowledge for a long time. This works because the hippocampus in our brain is highly sensitive to spatial information (空间信息). By linking knowledge to specific locations, I can transfer short-term memories into long-term ones, while vivid mental associations further strengthen recall. In addition, this method improves cognitive abilities such as concentration and curiosity. With knowledge clearly organized in my mind, I am able to connect unrelated ideas and stimulate creativity.
This technique is suitable for every learner. Even though I am not naturally good at visualizing images, I can still memorize effectively through logical stories and associations. I have built various memory palaces for geography, history, and foreign languages without being limited by physical space. Instead of depending entirely on the Internet to search for information, I firmly internalize knowledge. With regular scientific review, the information can remain in my memory for years. In conclusion, the memory palace is an easy-to-learn skill that can greatly improve both learning efficiency and memory capacity.

I have long been skeptical (怀疑的) about the idea that phones are addictive devices. However, a few months ago, I began to worry that I was spending too much time on my phone, often switching between online news and short-video apps.
When I read about changing my phone to black-and-white mode, I decided to try it. The result was surprising. The moment I turned off the color, I no longer felt the same urgent need to check my phone. I experienced a strong sense of relief. It felt as if an invisible bond had been cut.
After that, I began leaving my phone in another room as I moved around the house. I’d go hours without checking it, rather than just minutes. The amount of time I spent on my phone dropped by about 40 percent.
Scientists call this condition “problematic smartphone use,” which refers to the difficulty controlling the urge to use a phone, often to the point that it affects daily life. For me, checking my phone was often a way to reduce anxiety.
Life in grayscale (黑白模式) also brought some small inconveniences. For example, I sometimes hung up calls by mistake because both buttons were gray. Photos also looked strange, especially the colorful images sent by my family.
However, I discovered that games were less appealing in black and white, and social media apps became less interesting. Gradually, I started using my phone less and paying more attention to real life.
After a few weeks, I noticed another change. I began reading more books, spending more time with my family, and planning social activities. I found myself enjoying these real-world experiences more than using my phone.
Now, I feel that turning off color on my phone has made me more aware of the beauty of real life. Although I still use my phone every day, I no longer feel controlled by it.
20. Which sentence in the passage explains why the author felt “controlled” by his phone before using grayscale?
A. After a few weeks, I noticed another change.
B. Life in grayscale also brought some small inconveniences.
C. I have long been skeptical about the idea that phones are addictive devices.
D. I began to worry that I was spending too much time on my phone, often switching between online news and short-video apps.
21. What does the underlined sentence “It felt as if an invisible bond had been cut” in Paragraph 2 most likely mean?
A. The author found the phone less useful in daily life.
B. The author decided to stop using the phone completely.
C. The author became less connected with people around him.
D. The author no longer relied on the phone as much as before.
22. What can we learn from the author’s experience?
A. Digital behavior can be shaped by small adjustments.
B. Technology should replace real-life interaction.
C. Phones are the main source of modern anxiety.
D. Personal habits are difficult to change.
【答案】20. D 21. D 22. A
【解析】

Expert birdwatchers have changes in their brain structure compared with beginners, which probably help them better identify birds and may even protect against age-related cognitive (认知的) decline.
When learning or practising a skill, the brain reorganises itself, strengthening and streamlining relevant pathways. This ability, known as neuroplasticity (神经可塑性), supports the development of expert skills. It is why professional musicians show structural changes in brain regions involved in hearing.
To understand whether birding also shapes the brain, Erik Wing at York University and his colleagues analysed brain structure and function in 48 hobbyist birders, half experts and half beginners, as judged by a screening test. Participants were aged 22 to 79, and both groups were similar in terms of sex, age, and education.
While undergoing brain scans, the participants were shown an image of a bird for less than 4 seconds. About 10 seconds later, they tried identifying the same bird from one of four images, each showing a different species. “We intentionally picked highly confusable bird species,” says Wing.
The task was repeated 72 times. In total, the researchers used images of 18 bird species — six of which were local and 12 of which weren’t — as targets.
As expected, expert birders could identify birds better than beginners. On average, they accurately identified 83 percent of local bird species and 61 percent of the non-local ones. In contrast, beginners correctly identified 44 percent of both groups of birds.
While identifying non-local birds, activity in three brain areas increased in expert birders. These areas are the front part of the brain, an inner region related to attention, and a back part of the brain responsible for visual processing. These areas also appeared more organised and structurally complex. “It speaks to the wide range of cognitive processes that are involved in birding,” says Wing.
As we age, structural complexity and organisation in the brain tend to decrease. But this decline was less pronounced in expert birders, suggesting birding may help build cognitive reserve, the brain’s ability to defend itself against ageing and adapt to damage.
“It suggests that maintaining brain activity through specialised abilities is also linked to reduced effects of ageing,” says Robert Zatorre at McGill University. However, to determine whether the brain changes are truly due to birding, researchers would need to scan the brain multiple times over months or years, says Wing.
23. Why did researchers choose “highly confusable bird species”?
A. To keep participants’ attention on birds.
B. To better test real bird-identification skills.
C. To reduce the time needed for the experiment.
D. To concentrate on rare birds from other countries.
24. Which finding best supports the idea of “cognitive reserve”?
A. Beginners rely on memory rather than observation.
B. Beginners have lower accuracy in bird identification.
C. Experts experience slower age-related cognitive decline.
D. Experts show increased activity in three different brain areas.
25. To improve the study, researchers should ________.
A. test only local birds
B. use fewer bird species
C. involve only expert birders
D. follow participants over several years
26. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Why Birds Are Hard to Identify
B. How Nature Improves Mental Health
C. Birdwatching May Reshape the Brain
D. The Age Difference Between Expert Birders
【答案】23. B 24. C 25. D 26. C
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍一项科学研究,发现观鸟爱好者的大脑结构与普通人存在差异,长期观鸟可以重塑大脑、提升认知能力、减缓大脑衰老。
【23题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“We intentionally picked highly confusable bird species(我们故意挑选了高度容易混淆的鸟类物种)”并结合实验核心目的是对比不同水平观鸟者的识别能力可推知,选择易混淆物种是为了更好地测试参与者真实的鸟类识别能力。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第八段“But this decline was less pronounced in expert birders, suggesting birding may help build cognitive reserve, the brain’s ability to defend itself against ageing and adapt to damage(但这种认知衰退在专家观鸟者身上表现得更不明显,这表明观鸟或帮助构建认知储备,即大脑抵御衰老、适应损伤的能力)”可知,专家经历的年龄相关认知衰退更慢这一发现,最能支撑认知储备的观点。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, to determine whether the brain changes are truly due to birding, researchers would need to scan the brain multiple times over months or years(然而,要确定大脑变化是否真的由观鸟导致,研究者需要在数月甚至数年中多次扫描大脑)”可知,想要完善研究,研究者需要在数年内跟踪研究参与者。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章首段“Expert birdwatchers have changes in their brain structure compared with beginners, which probably help them better identify birds and may even protect against age-related cognitive decline(和新手相比,专家观鸟者的大脑结构存在变化,这很可能帮助他们更好识别鸟类,甚至可以抵御与年龄相关的认知下降)”,全文围绕观鸟对大脑的改变这一研究展开可推知,最合适的标题为“观鸟可能重塑大脑”。
D
Pollution is making many cities increasingly unlivable for people, but it is also tearing ant families and communities apart. Ants recognise one another by detecting a thin layer of hydrocarbons on their exoskeletons; each community has its own distinctive “smell”. However, a new study reveals that ozone emissions (臭氧排放) can change the structure of these hydrocarbons. After ants are exposed to urban air containing around 100 parts per billion of ozone, their nestmates no longer recognise them. Some are attacked by members of their own community, while others neglect larvae (幼虫) exposed to ozone, leaving them to die.
This story is a case of anthropomorphism — projecting human characteristics onto non-human creatures. Although many scientists criticise anthropomorphism as misleading, others draw parallels between ants and humans to explain the evolution (进化) of selflessness and social networks. Famously, entomologist E. O. Wilson used ants as evidence for his theory of “sociobiology,” which suggests that many animal behaviours result from evolutionary necessity. Evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould, however, criticised this idea as “biological determinism,” warning that it could justify unfair genetic policies.
But something fundamental has changed. Deborah Gordon, a Stanford biologist, discovered that ant behaviour can be understood algorithmically (以算法的方式). Working with computer scientists, she showed that ants allocate tasks through distributed signalling networks. If a worker ant discovers a large food source, she leaves behind a chemical trail for others to follow. Other ants detect the signal and realise that more food-searching ants are needed, dropping what they are doing to join the task. There is no leader. Gordon nicknamed this process “the anternet” because it works like the way computer networks manage data flow.
Algorithmic determinism has replaced biological determinism, but the result for ants remains the same: humans continue to use them as examples rather than appreciating them as creatures with their own distinct forms of social life. This brings us back to pollution. Gordon’s anternet depends on ants from the same community meeting, exchanging information, and determining whether to assist their sisters. But when ozone changes their hydrocarbons, they can no longer recognise one another and cooperate effectively. The collapse of communication could ultimately lead to the death of the community.
To humans, this may seem insignificant. But we share the planet with other creatures. If we fail to limit ozone pollution, we may destroy entire social systems beyond our own. Perhaps it is time we should stop using ants as examples for ourselves and our machines, and start caring about who they really are.
27. What ability is most affected after ozone exposure in ants?
A. The ability to recognize nestmates.
B. The ability to locate food sources.
C. The ability to find their nests.
D. The ability to call for help.
28. What does the underlined phrase “draw parallels” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?
A. Identify similarities. B. Create conflicts.
C. Conduct experiments. D. Develop theories.
29. What can be inferred about the “anternet” described in the passage?
A. It reduces the need for ants to detect chemicals.
B. It depends heavily on reliable communication signals.
C. It requires a leader to organize food-searching behaviour.
D. It was developed by computer scientists and later used to study ants.
30. What is the author’s attitude toward using ants as examples for humans or machines?
A. Doubtful. B. Critical.
C. Positive. D. Indifferent.
【答案】27. A 28. A 29. B 30. B
【解析】

【27题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“After ants are exposed to urban air containing around 100 parts per billion of ozone, their nestmates no longer recognise them.(当蚂蚁暴露在含臭氧的城市空气中后,同伴不再识别它们)”可知,臭氧影响了蚂蚁识别同伴的能力。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“Although many scientists criticise anthropomorphism as misleading, others draw parallels between ants and humans to explain the evolution of selflessness and social networks.(尽管许多科学家批评拟人化具有误导性,其他科学家会在蚂蚁和人类之间draw parallels来解释无私和社会网络的进化)”中的转折逻辑可知,另一部分科学家会找出蚂蚁和人类的相似之处来开展研究,draw parallels 意为“找出相似点、类比”。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Gordon’s anternet depends on ants from the same community meeting, exchanging information, and determining whether to assist their sisters.(戈登的“蚂蚁网络”依赖于同一社群的蚂蚁碰面、交换信息,并决定是否帮助同伴)”可知,“蚂蚁网络”高度依赖可靠的交流信号。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps it is time we should stop using ants as examples for ourselves and our machines, and start caring about who they really are.(或许我们该停止将蚂蚁当作人类和机器的范例,开始关注它们本身的存在)”可知,作者对这种做法持批判态度。
IV. 阅读表达(共4小题;46-48题每小题2分,49题3分,共9分)
阅读下面的短文和问题,根据短文内容,在相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息,完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚,结构正确,书写工整。
I used to have an extremely poor natural memory. I constantly struggled to remember names, dates, and vocabulary, and any new knowledge I learned would quickly slip from my mind. Discouraged by this weakness, I decided to master professional memory techniques. As a competitor in my sixties, I won the Australian Memory Championships in both 2017 and 2018. Over the past decade, I have built kilometres of memory palaces to store a wide range of knowledge, including geography, foreign vocabulary, and much more.
The memory palace, also known as the method of loci, is an ancient technique originating in Ancient Greece. Simply put, it is a customized mental space where people store and organize information. Unlike rote memorization, it requires deep understanding rather than blind repetition. I follow several clear steps to build my own memory palaces. First, I choose a familiar location, such as my house, and arrange fixed spots in a clear order, such as the front door, the bookcase, and the table. Second, I attach information to these locations by creating vivid and striking mental associations. Third, I repeatedly take a mental walk through the space in order to become familiar with the sequence. I also follow a rule of marking every fifth location for easier recall, which helps prevent me from missing any information.
I have gained many benefits from this powerful technique. It not only helps me memorize information efficiently but also allows me to keep knowledge for a long time. This works because the hippocampus in our brain is highly sensitive to spatial information (空间信息). By linking knowledge to specific locations, I can transfer short-term memories into long-term ones, while vivid mental associations further strengthen recall. In addition, this method improves cognitive abilities such as concentration and curiosity. With knowledge clearly organized in my mind, I am able to connect unrelated ideas and stimulate creativity.
This technique is suitable for every learner. Even though I am not naturally good at visualizing images, I can still memorize effectively through logical stories and associations. I have built various memory palaces for geography, history, and foreign languages without being limited by physical space. Instead of depending entirely on the Internet to search for information, I firmly internalize knowledge. With regular scientific review, the information can remain in my memory for years. In conclusion, the memory palace is an easy-to-learn skill that can greatly improve both learning efficiency and memory capacity.

根据括号中所给提示完成下列句子。
49. 我应该尽自己所能保护环境。(do my part)(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________
【答案】I should do my part to protect the environment.
【解析】
【详解】本句表达个人应当履行的责任,时态选用一般现在时。“我”对应英文I,“应该”对应英文should;“尽自己所能”用指定短语do my part;“保护环境”对应英文to protect the environment,用不定式结构交代付出努力的目的。
50. 同学们已经想出了一些主意来解决这个问题。(come up with)(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The students have come up with some ideas to solve this problem.
【解析】
【详解】根据题干,“已经”表明本句应用现在完成时:have/has done,表示过去的动作对现在造成的影响;“同学们”作主语,译为the students;“想出”对应题干提示短语come up with,在现在完成时中用have come up with;“一些主意”译为some ideas;“来解决这个问题”表目的,用不定式to solve this problem;“这个问题”译为this problem。
51. 这幅画被看作是现代艺术的代表作。(be regarded as)(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________
【答案】
This painting is regarded as a representative work of modern art. (也可写作:This painting is regarded as a masterpiece of modern art.)
【解析】
【详解】句子描述客观事实,用一般现在时;题干要求使用be regarded as“被看作”,主语“这幅画”译为this painting,是单数第三人称,因此be动词用is;“代表作”可译为representative work,也可用常用表达masterpiece“杰作、代表作”;“现代艺术的”用英语所属结构of modern art表达,符合英语语序习惯。
52. 如果你需要更多的信息,请不要犹豫与我联系。(not hesitate to do)(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________
【答案】
If you need more information, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
【解析】
【详解】本句是“if引导的条件状语从句+祈使句主句”的结构,条件状语从句描述客观假设,用一般现在时即可。“需要更多信息”译为need more information,作从句内容;按要求使用提示结构not hesitate to do sth(不要犹豫做某事),“联系我”译为contact me,代入结构构成祈使句主句。
53. 我们已经没时间了,所以我们必须快点。(run out of)(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________________
【答案】
We have run out of time, so we must hurry up.
【解析】
【详解】题目所给run out of为固定短语,意为“用光”,“没时间了”表达为run out of time,“已经”表示过去的动作对现在造成的影响,应用现在完成时;“所以”表达为连词so,连接并列分句;“必须”用情态动词must,后接动词原形;“快点”表达为动词短语hurry up。
