就在他計劃回國的前幾個月，他突然身患絕癥。他知道自己已奄奄一息，于是他要我答應一定單獨回故鄉(xiāng)一趟。
【解析】
1. when引導時間狀語從句，that引導賓語從句，作knew的賓語。
2. he made me promise to go：make為使役動詞，使役動詞let, make, have等后面跟不定式作賓補時省略to，即make sb do sth.

我們覺得一則笑話是否好笑，很大程度上取決于我們是在哪兒長大的。
【解析】

1. Condition:這里作動詞，表示“訓練；使習慣于；使適應”，be conditioned to，比如，The rats had been conditioned to ring a bell when they wanted food. 這些老鼠已經(jīng)過訓練，想吃食物時就會按鈴。condition與其邏輯主語us存在主動關系，所以用主動形式。
2. Faith: “信任；相信；信心”，這個詞的搭配很豐富，比如，keep faith with sb. 對……守信用；put one's faith in sth 對……有信心；on the faith of 在……的保障下，憑……的信用。再比如這里的Develop an unshakable faith in sth. 對于……形成了一種不可動搖的信念。
