单选题 For the first time in this century also, many people are able to enjoy their leisure to the full, ______ trips to the country or seaside at weekends, instead of being confined to their neighborhood.
A. making B. to make
C. made D. having made

【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】现在分词短语making...to their neighborhood在句中作enjoy的伴随状语，其逻辑主语是people，所以不能用made；句子用的是一般现在时，对客观情况作一般性陈述，不强调动作的先后，所以having made也不合适；从句子意思看，要填入的部分不是作目的状语，所以to make也不对。
