原文：The study suggests that people who frequently use social media may experience a subtle shift in their perception of time. Those who spend more than two hours a day scrolling through feeds are more likely to report feeling that time “flies by” — a phenomenon researchers attribute to the continuous stream of novel stimuli.
问题：The underlined phrase “flies by” most nearly means ______.
A) moves slowly B) passes quickly C) stops momentarily D) distorts reality
解析：此处“flies by”并非字面意义的“飞过”，而是对“时间流逝感”的隐喻。结合后文“continuous stream of novel stimuli”（持续的新奇刺激），可推断其指“时间飞逝”。正确答案为B。
需特别注意：近年真题中“推理题”占比逐年上升（2023年达7题），要求考生不仅理解表层信息，更要推断作者意图、文本隐含态度及段落功能。例如2024年Text 2最后一题：“The author’s attitude toward ‘algorithmic curation’ is best described as ______”，需结合全文批判性论述判断为“cautiously critical”。
直译陷阱：Since the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, the rural landscape has been completely renewed.
优化译文：Since the launch of the rural revitalization initiative, China’s countryside has undergone a remarkable transformation — a testament to the nation’s commitment to balanced regional development.
优化点：① “initiative”替代“strategy”更符合英美政策语境；② 补充“China’s”增强主体性；③ “undergone a remarkable transformation”比“has been renewed”更地道；④ 增补破折号后内容，点明深层意义，符合英语议论文习惯。
