【36题详解】
句意:它是世界上最大的瀑布之一。 根据题意可知,“one of the+容词最高级+名词复数”是固定结构,意为“最……之一”,所以,此处应用large的最高级形式largest。故填the largest。

45. an
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了学校读书俱乐部的相关情况,包括其受欢迎程度、活动内容、作用以及未来计划等。
【41题详解】
句意:我们学校的读书俱乐部自去年以来就是学生们喜欢的地方。根据“since last year”可知,since引导的时间状语常与现在完成时连用,其结构为“have/has+过去分词”。主语“Our school’s reading club”是第三人称单数,助动词用has;be的过去分词是been。故填has been。
【42题详解】
句意:每个成员每周二下午都会碰面,分享他们最喜欢的书。由“every Tuesday afternoon”可知,这是经常性、习惯性的动作,句子应用一般现在时。主语“Each member”是第三人称单数,谓语动词应用meet的第三人称单数形式meets。故填meets。
