1.The Uzbek former warlord in Afghanistan, General Abdul Rashid Dostum, has defended his return to the country from exile only days before the presidential election.

这句话的主干是General Abdul Rashid Dostum, has defended his return to the country。其他都是修饰成分。The Uzbek former warlord in Afghanistan和General Abdul Rashid Dostum是同位语。only days before the presidential election是时间状语。

2.He says there should be positive growth in most countries for the next few quarters, but he warns that unemployment will not peak till next year.

not until直到……才

例句：We were warned not to leave our shelter until tomorrow.
      我们收到警告明天之前不要离开庇护所。

当Not until位于句首时,句子要倒装。其结构为:Not until+从句/表时间的词+助动词+(主句)主语+谓语+...。如:

　　①Not until the teacher came in did the students stop talking.直到老师进来学生们才停止讲话。

　　②Not until next week will the sports meet be held.直到下周才开运动会。

not until的强调结构为:It is / was not until+从句/表时间的词+that+...。上面两句改为强调句为:

　　③It was not until the teacher came in that the students stopped talking.

　　④It is not until next week that the sports meet will be held.
