　　1. A sacred place of peace, however crude it may be, is a distinctly human need, as opposed to shelter, which is a distinctly animal need. [ 翻译]
　　分析：
　　A. 分析句子结构。该句的主干是A sacred place of peace is a distinctly human need。however引导让步状语从句，as引导非限制性定语从句，修饰place of peace。which引导定语从句，修饰shelter。
　　B.分析省略结构。该句中as引导的非限制性定语从句为省略形式，补充完整为“as is opposed to shelter”。
　　C.译文：无论地方是多么简陋不堪，寻求一片静谧圣土是人类特有的需求，而动物特有的需要仅是避难栖息之地。
　　2. But particularly when viewed against America’s turbulent past, today’s social indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment. [2006, text 1]
　　分析：
　　A.分析句子结构。该句的主句是today’s social indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment，谓语动词是suggest。when引导时间状语从句。
