.todosth.说服某人做某事。3．解析：选A。考查非谓语动词。句意：据报道，11名被困在六盘水煤矿中3天的矿工最终在2021年1月20全部死亡了。要填部分在句中作定语，表被动又表示过去的动作，所以要用过去分词。4．解析：选A。考查倒装。句意：昨晚他原来打算要去看电影的，直到最终一刻他才转变方法。Notuntil位于句首主句用部分倒装语序。5．解析：选B。考查动词时态。依据otherwise和couldhavebeenavoided可知，后半句的是对过去事实的虚拟，前半句应用与过去有关的时态，另外，依据then可知，应用过去进行时，故选B。6．解析：选A。考查比较级。句意：大山是加拿大人，但他宠爱学中文。他说汉语和英语一样受欢迎。此处表示同级比较且为确定句，应用“as＋形容词原级＋a/an＋可数名词单数＋as”结构。7．解析：选B。考查时态和动词短语。依据答语中的“sinceIcamehere”可知，空处应用现在完成时，排解A、C和D项，同时adaptto是固定短语，表示“适合……”，故选B项。adapt...from...表示“依据……改编……”。8．解析：选C。考查情态动词。句意：——你知道我们的英语老师在哪里吗？他不在办公室。——噢，他不行能走远——他的外套还在这里呢。can’thavedone不行能做某事，表示对过去状况的否定推想；shouldn’thavedone表示本不该做某事，但却做了；wouldn’thavedone用于与过去事实相反的虚拟语气的主句中。9．解析：选B。考查非谓语动词。句意：我已经养成了在夏季早起的习惯。能呼吸到早上的新颖空气真好。tobreathe和主语themorningair之间存在规律上的动宾关系。在句式“主语＋be＋adj.＋todo”中，不定式要用主动形式表示被动含义。10．解析：选C。考查固定搭配。句意：新的交通法律已经在2022年初开头实施，这必定对交通秩序产生影响。comeintoeffect开头实施；haveaneffecton对……有影响，均属固定搭配。11．解析：选B。考查连词。句意：班长让那两位同学小声争辩问题以防打搅到其他人。sothat为了；incase(以防)万一；inorderthat为了；nowthat既然，故选B。12．解析：选B。考查短语辨析。句意：美国是世界上最大的国家之一，过去拥有丰富的资源，现在正面临着资源短缺的问题。lackof缺少；beabundantin在……上丰富；becoveredwith掩盖；befullof布满。依据句意可知选B项。13．解析：选D。考查短语辨析。句意：我们班的全部人都已下决心通过努力学习通过2021年的高考，不让我们的父母和老师无望。let...off“放过，宽恕”；let...alone“不管”；let...out“泄露”；let...down“使……无望”。14．解析：选B。考查虚拟语气。ifonly意为“要是……就好了”，句中常使用虚拟语气。依据句意，“我最好的伴侣安妮生我的气了”，所以后句中是表示对已经发生的事情表示圆满、懊悔，“要是没说那些话就好了！”与过去事实相反，应使用过去完成时态。15．解析：选B。考查交际用语。句意：——我担忧老板对我的工作不满足。——不要紧急。没有人说你的工作没干好。Itdoesn’tmatter.意为“没关系”，通常是对方赔礼时的应答用语。Takeiteasy！“放松，不要紧急”，通常用于劝慰别人。Forgetit！“算了吧”，常用于拒绝别人的建议。Goahead.“开头吧”，常用于同意某人的建议或恳求。其次节完形填空[解题导语]一个人把捡到的泥球扔向大海，当自己发觉其中含有宝石的时候，泥球所剩无几。文章通过这个故事告知我们：每一个人都有其特长和优势，当我们细心发觉的时候，就会看到闪光的东西。16．解析：选D。他在一个地窖里发觉(found)了一个帆布袋子。依据语境，很明显选项中made,carried和searched的意思在这里不合适。17．解析：选B。像是有人(someone)制作的泥球。这里的语境不行能是“任何人、每一个人”之意；而noone的意思和语境不符。18．解析：选C。句中bake的意思是“烤、烘”，联系这个意思可知应当是放在阳光(sun)下面。其他选项的意思是：light光线；shade阴影；sand沙子。19．解析：选A。它们看上去没有什么，但是却引起了(interested)这个人的爱好，这个意思和语境相符。很明显，文章中不是“打搅、使无望或使满足”之意。20．解析：选B。依据文章的首句可知，他是在沿着沙滩(beach)走。依据语境可知，选项中wall,street和road的意思明显不符。21．解析：选D。前面提到他往海里扔泥球，由此可知，他是尽可能地扔得很远(far)。联系文意，当然不是指“长、深或高”的意思。22．解析：选C。他几乎什么也没考虑，直到(until)其中的一个在岩石上摔坏了。这里的时间不是指“之前、之后或同时”之意。23．解析：选A。文中多次提到treasure等相关信息，所以此处指“贵重的宝石”。很明显，选项中special和common的意思在这里不合适，而语境中也不是强调价格，故D项的意思也不对。24．解析：选D。看到泥球里面的宝石，他当然是很兴奋(Excited)。其他选项的意思是：surprised吃惊；puzzled怀疑不解的；worried担忧的。25．解析：选C。联系上一段落中的hedroppedoneoftheclayballsanditcrackedopenonarock，可知泥球里包含有(contained)宝石。依据语境可知，这里不是“掩盖、埋藏或跟随”之意。26．解析：选B。依据上文中的theremainingclayballs等信息，可知这里指他剩下的(left)的泥球。其他选项的意思是：invented制造；accepted接受；kept保存。27．解析：选A。后来他受到很大的打击(struck)。由于他扔掉了大多数泥球。很明显，语境中不是“转变、提示或借”之意。28．解析：选D。不是(Insteadof)数千美元的珠宝，而是会有数万的珠宝带回家。其他选项的意思是：exceptfor除了；accordingto依据；judgingfrom由……推断。29．解析：选C。依据上下文的语境，此处指转折意义。而so表示因果关系；and表示并列关系；or表示选择意义。30．解析：选B。依据下文中的someone等信息可知，这里说的是“人们也像这个样子”。联系文意，此处当然不是指“生活、工作或学习”。31．解析：选A。它并不总是秀丽或闪光的，所以我们疏忽(ignore)了。很明显，选项中enjoy,destroy和love的意思和语境不符。32．解析：选D。秀丽的人、富有的人往往在我们的心目中很重要(important)。由文意可知，此处不是指“聪慧、危急或好玩”之意。33．解析：选C。但是我们没有花费(taken)时间去发觉藏在那个人内心的财宝。依据语境可知，选项中wasted,shared和passed的意思明显和语境不符。34．解析：选B。结合上文中的Butwehavenot__18___thetimetofindthetreasurehiddeninsidethatperson.等信息可知，此处指藏在人们内心的财宝(treasure)。其他选项的意思是：present礼物；habit习惯；history历史。35．解析：选A。假如我们花费时间去了解那个人，泥土就会开头脱掉(comeoff)。联系文意，此处没有“干燥、移动或投降”之意。其次部分阅读理解第一节[解题导语]作者建议高校生应当重视睡眠。36．解析：选A。细节理解题。依据文章其次段的内容可知，小睡可以削减人们的压力。因此A项正确。37．解析：选B。细节理解题。依据第一段中的“examsrollinandwehavetokickstudyingintohighgear.Thiskickcausesustosleeplessanddozeoffmore”可知，由于考试接踵而来，高校生不得不铆足劲学习，所以他们睡得少，从而导致上课打瞌睡。因此B项正确。38．解析：选B。细节理解题。依据第三段其次、三句的内容可知B项正确。39．解析：选C。细节理解题。依据文章最终一段的内容可知，只有我们自己去解决睡眠问题才能使自己睡得好。因此C项正确。[解题导语]科学家通过对鱼类进行试验证明白它们有很强的适应力气。40．解析：选A。词义猜想题。由画线词后面的“studiedinthelab”可推知，creatures指fish。41．解析：选C。段落大意题。通读第三段可知，本段主要陈述了在试验室里试验的步骤、方法和得出的结论。故C项正确。42．解析：选D。细节理解题。由倒数其次段中的“shyfishthatlosttheirfightsalsogrewbolderwhenexploringstrangenewfood”可知，D项正确。43．解析：选C。主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是文章的第一段及最终一
