新概念二这句标点符号错了
这里不算错误，一方面陈述疑问句（陈述句语序，句末为问号）表示期望得到对方的肯定回答，二是suppose在这里表示一种礼貌的请求。以下为Cambridge Dictionary中suppose的相关释义和例句：supposeused in making polite requests:I don't suppose (that) you could lend me £5 till tomorrow? （语气似乎更委婉）

多个that从句做宾语从句的疑惑
你的理解是正确的。1. 第三个that多余了，可能因为句子比较长，作者忘了前面已经有and that了；2. 是动名词复合结构，在这个结构中，he was ready作thinking的宾语。

翻译：蛋糕就是把面粉、牛奶、鸡蛋混合到一起制作而成的。
上面的翻译都挺好。参照词典上cake的释义，尝试翻译如下：A cake is made by baking a mixture of flour, milk and eggs.或Cakes are made by mixing milk and eggs with flour.

请教一个表达的含义
句子主干为：a boat is the place to be不定式to be短语为后置定语，be此时含义为 to be in a place。to spot whales则是to be的目的状语。难点可能是为什么be后面没有诸如in之类的介词。因为place这个词有点特殊，place to do something里的动词可以是不及物的：Is this a safe place to swim? （Macmillan）I always thin...

这里的介词短语是做什么成分
地点状语，与宾语相关，即与宾语相关的地点状语。疑似可以前置：On the desk, you can see some books.

辞书质疑(21)：对《Collins双解词典》一处用法的质疑
估计是错了，建议释义删除 with past tenses，可能是与 if ever 词条释义混淆了（You use if ever with past tenses ...）。
