2. 【Why people are prepared to tolerate a four-hour journey each day for the dubious privilege of living in the country】 is beyond me. (24&rsquo (why 引导的主语从句)
3. Few things could be more impressive than the peace that descends on deserted city streets at weekends when the thousands (that travel to) work every day are tucked away in their homes in the country. （36’）（比较级表示最高级；两个that引导的定语从句，when引导的时间状语从句）
4. It has always been a mystery to me those city dwellers, who appreciate all these things, obstinately pretend that they would prefer to live in the country. (28&rsquo (形式主语；who引导定语从句；that引导的宾语从句)
Lesson 42:

2. For him, caves have the same peculiar fascination (which high mountains have for the climber). （句子读懂不难，但是这样的比较级很难表达，多揣摩吧）
3. The cave might never have been discovered had not the entrance been spotted by the distinguished French potholer, Berger. （20’）(虚拟语气的倒装！想想常见的三个倒装词吧，关键是熟练！)
4. In the eerie silence of the cavern, the only sound that could be heard was made by water which dripped continuously from the high dome above them. (27&rsquo （两个定语从句）
Lesson 43
1. Needless to say, the bigger the risk an insurance company takes, the higher the premium you will have to pay. (21&rsquo （典型的看懂容易、表达难的“越…越…”句型）

Lesson 44
1. Hardly anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. （hardly在句首但是不倒装，因为修饰的是主语）

Lesson 45
1. Acting on the contention that facts are sacred, reporters can cause untold suffering to individuals by publishing details about their private lives. (23&rsquo (很好的仿写句型，that引导同位语从句)

3. I was not surprised to find that the machine still refused to work after I had reassembled it, for the simple reason that I was left with several curiously shaped bits of metal which did not seem to fit anywhere. (41&rsquo （标准考研难度句子，分别是宾语从句、时间状语从句、同位语从句、定语从句）
Lesson 47
Lesson forty seven
1.

(44&rsquo （相对复杂的句子，两个think后面的宾语从句比较明显，if的条件状语从句也不难，关键是every time引导的时间状语从句和of那个后置介词定语）
2. A recent survey of the effects of noise revealed (surprisingly?) that dogs barking incessantly in the night rated the highest form of noise pollution on a scale ranging from 1 to 7. (33&rsquo （表面上不长也不难，但是相对难懂！revealed后面that宾语从句，其从句谓语为rated，on a scale为状语，其中scale名词后面有个分词定语）
Lesson 48
The village seemed deserted, the only sign of life being an ugly-looking black goat on a short length of rope tied to a tree in a field nearby. Sitting down on a dilapidated wooden fence near the field, we opened a couple of tins of sardines and had a picnic lunch. All at once, I noticed (that my wife seemed to be filled with alarm). Looking up I saw that we were surrounded by children in rags who were looking at us silently as we ate. (看看一段漂亮的文字是怎样炼成的！综合使用独立主格结构…life being…, 分词作定语…rope tied to…, 分词作状语sitting down和looking up，that 的宾语从句，who 的定语从句，错落有致、叹为观止！)

3. While she always decried the fickleness of human nature, she carried on an unrelenting search for the ideal servant to the end of her days, even after she had been sadly disillusioned by Bessie. (35&rsquo（中国学生最喜欢的状语从句，剩下的就是词汇问题——长而不难）
Lesson 50
1. We resolve to get up earlier each morning, eat less, find more time to play with the children, do a thousand and one jobs about the house, be nice to people we don't like, drive carefully, and take the dog for a walk every day. (46&rsquo（长而不难的谓语并列）
2. The self-discipline (required to drag myself out of bed eleven minutes earlier than usual) was considerable. （如果不能分析出来required是分词后置作定语，那就完蛋了！）
