2026年能力培养与测试八年级英语下册人教版第42页答案
Ⅳ. 阅读短文,完成练习。
Dear Jane, 
All of my friends have smartphones, but I don't. They can talk with others online, but I can't. I want a smartphone, but I am not allowed. My mother said, "You should study hard! Don't think of it!" I am so sad.
Lily
Hi Lily,
We always want what others have but sometimes what others are doing isn't always that great and it can be good to be unique. Phones can be distracting(令人分心的). I sometimes wish I didn't have one because I always waste time looking at pointless things on it! I didn't get my first phone until I was 17. And I think this is a good age. Sometimes, I miss those simple days when I could enjoy my childhood without being glued to a little screen. So don't be sad. Often, our parents make decisions that we hate. Later, we will realize that the lessons they taught us help shape us into better people.
It's a little annoying not being able to be the same as your friends, but embrace(拥抱) your uniqueness and don't feel the need to follow the herd(随大流).

答案

Ⅳ.1—3 BAD

解析

【解析】 
1. 细节理解题:根据Lily的信件内容的第一段"All of my friends have smartphones, but I don't... I want a smartphone, but I am not allowed."可知,Lily的问题是她不能拥有智能手机,故选B。
2. 词义猜测题:结合上下文语境,Jane提到不要随大流,要拥抱自己的独特性,且"unique"所在句子表达拥有和别人不一样的状态也很好,可推测"unique"意为"特别的",对应选项A。
3. 推理判断题:根据Jane回信中的最后一段"embrace(拥抱) your uniqueness and don't feel the need to follow the herd(随大流)"可知,Jane认为Lily没有必要随大流,故选D。
