42. A
译文：坦率地说，我宁愿你暂时对此事什么也不做。
本句是would rather结构中的虚拟语气的用法。在would rather后面所接的从句中，如表示与现在事实相反的愿望，从句中谓语动词用过去时；如表示与过去事实相反的愿望，谓语动词用过去完成时。

43. B
译文：旅馆管理部门恳请客人11 点之后不要开收音机。
本句涉及主语从句中的虚拟语气用法。在It is requested/demanded/… that-clause 结构中，that 从句中谓语动词常用虚拟语气，其形式为：(should)+动词原形。这一结构是否用虚拟语气取决于主句It is requested/… that 中的过去分词（如本句中的requested）。常用于这种结构的过去分词除requested 外还有desired, demanded, ordered, suggested, recommended, required等。

44. B
译文：建议在一切工作准备就绪后再开始这一项目。
本句涉及主语从句中的虚拟语气的使用。

45. C
译文：许多代表都赞同设立一个专门委员会对那次事件进行调查的建议。
本句考的是同位语从句中的虚拟语气结构的用法。proposal 意为“提议，建议”，其后的同位语从句用“(should)+动词原形”的虚拟语气结构。

46. B
译文：如果母亲执意要拥有对这个婴儿的抚养权，情况可能会更糟。
本句考的是if条件句中虚拟语气结构的用法。if引导的是虚拟条件句，因主句谓语动词是might have been，从句就要用had insisted，指对过去情况的虚拟。
