41．A。动词dread后接动词+ing或不定式作宾语，意义相差不多，表示害怕、讨厌（做某事），实际还未做，故B和C项可以排除。全句的意思为：我不愿不得不再一次去墓地。42．A。动词avoid后面只能接动词+ing作宾语，所以B、C和D项均可以排除。全句的意思为：孩子年龄越小，做母亲的就越容易屈服于孩子的要求以避免使他感到失望。

43．C。在动词词组object to中，to是介词，后面需接动词+ing作宾语，故选项B和D可以排除。选项A为动词+ing的被动形式，而句中后面已有宾语，故可以排除。

44．C。动词appreciate后面要接动词+ing作宾语，动词+ing短语可以有自己的逻辑主语，由所有格代词充当。appreciate后面习惯上不接that从句，所以B和D项可以排除，appreciate 后习惯上也不接不定式，敞A项也可排除。

45．A。从结构上看，空档及后面部分是一短语，对前面的内容进行补充说明。不定式用于目的或结果，因此时先排除C。be动词与主句谓语动词无明显先后关系，因此，可将D排除。been 根据上下文显然不合适，所以，正确答案为A。

46．A。isolate一词修饰the house。它们的逻辑关系是动宾关系，因此isolate应为过去分词，表示“受到隔离的”，所以正确答案为A。

47．C。从结构上看，was前面部分的内容是：“她在一个简朴的生活环境中受到教育”。A 不对，它缺少引导主语从句的关联词。B显然不对，它既缺少关联词，语态又不对，D也不对，因为不定式的逻辑主语一般由for引出，并且，这种形式的不定式作主语时经常是用it 做形式主语，而把它放到句末。C为正确答案，它是动名词加上其逻辑主语的形式。

48．D。从结构上看，逗号前面部分为一短语，而非从句或分句。因此，cancel动词的形式应为非谓语形式，因此，A和C均可排除。而flights与cancel为动宾关系，故B也可排除。D为正确答案。它与空档前面部分构成分词的独立结构做状语，表示原因。

翻译题：

The upside is the possibilities contained in knowing that everything is up to us; where before we were experts in the array of limitations, now we become authorities of what is possible.

参考译文：其正面意义在于，了解了一切都取决于我们自己，即有了诸多可能；此前我们是谙熟各种局限的专家，现在我们成了驾驭各种可能性的权威。
