动词do用以代替与主句重复的信息sense the approach of thunderstorms句意为：敏锐的听觉使多数动物能远在人之前感觉到雷雨的来临42. Bif left untreated为if it is left untreated之省略句意为：这种病如果不加以治疗会使患者完全失明43. A句中的and drought in others为have drought in other years之省略句意为：中部省份在有些年份会遭水灾，在另一些年份会遭旱灾44. D考查对附加疑问句的用法，本句是由“祈使句+附加疑问”构成的附加疑问句，这种附加疑问部分通常用won’t you表示一种征询意见的语气句意为：吃点水果，好吗?45. C考查对独立主格结构的用法，句中的There being nothing more for discussion为独立主格结构，表示原因句意为：由于没有更多的东西可讨论，会议提前半小时结束了46. A比较：get about表示“(尤指病后)走动，往来各处，(消息、谣言等)传开”；get on表示“进展；相处；上车；继续干”等；set through表示“(使)了解；熬过；干完工作”；get in表示“到达；收获”。

根据句意，选项A为符合句子语境句意为：我母亲因患有风湿病而不能走动47. B比较：put over表示“使被理解，传达……的意义，(尤指用欺骗手段)做成”等；put off表示“推迟；关掉；消除使厌恶”等；put up表示“抬起，把……拿出来出售(拍卖等)，张贴，提出(请愿、建议、问题等)”；put by表示“继续，储存，抛弃，回避”等分别将四个选项代入句中，显然只有选项B最合适句意为：我对马克的粗鲁举止很反感，他太让我气恼了48. A本题考查对情态动词及虚拟语气的掌握needn’t have+过去分词”表示对过去的否定性猜测，其意为“本来没必要做某事却做了”句意为：你本来不必将这件事告诉杰姆的，这与他无关49. C考查对虚拟语气的用法根据主句中的would have done可知，这里表示的是与过去相反的事实，所以从句中应使用had done句意为：要不是那儿人太多，我们就会在聚会上玩得更尽兴50. D考查由代系代词引导的定语从句，先行词为the number of stuff，同时该词还要在从句中作主语，用来指人，故选D。
