In it (the communications diary) they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how may lies they told. (06.6 Passage 1)
主干:they noted the number..., and confessed to how...
主句用了两个并列的谓语动词:noted 和confessed。or连接两个名词conversations和email exchanges构成并列结构,后面有定语从句they had和现在分词短语lasting more then 10 minutes修饰。

大学英语四级100条阅读难句-sentence 14
Its strategy rests on two beliefs: first, a global product offers economies of scale with which local brands cannot compete, and second, consumers in the 21st century are drawn to "global" as a concept. (06.1 Passage 1)
主干:Its strategy rests (on...)
主句用了rest on短语。冒号后的first...and second...用以解释说明冒号前的two beliefs,可以看做是该名词短语的同位成分。with which引导定语从句修饰economies of scale(规模经济)。句末的be drawn to表示“为...所吸引”,as a concept介词短语作global的后置定语,“作为概念的全球化”,或“全球化概念”。
译文:公司的策略基于两个信念:首先,全球性的产品能够提供地方品牌无法与之竞争的规模经济;其次,21世纪的消费者认可“全球”这个概念。
