4.It will take us 20 minutes to get there
到那儿大约要用20分钟。take: v. (花费,需要) 此句中的it 没有具体的意思只是形式主词,真正的主语是谓语后面的不定式to get there 类似的句子还有:

5.stick v. 插入,伸入,That tall building sticking high into the sky.在这句话中,sticking 是现在分词的后置定语,相当于一个定语从句:that tall building which sticks high into the sky. stick也可以用作 stick….into….,for example,
The doctor sticks something like a pipe through throat into my stomach. (医生把一根管子样的东西顺着喉咙插进了我的胃)
