答案及解析：
1.【翻译】专业护发产品(的出现)表明消费者既重视护肤，又重视护发。
【精析】本句考查宾语从句和常用短语的译法。翻译宾语从句时，可直接按“主、谓、宾”的顺序顺译即可。“hair-care product"可译为“护发产品”;"pay as much attention to..... to”可译为“既重视........又重视”。
2.【翻译】如果妇女在吸烟的家庭环境中生活40 年或更长时间，那么患肺癌的风险就会加倍。
【精析】本句考查条件状语从句和常用短语的翻译。状语从句译成汉语时常前置。在这里double 为动词，可译为“加倍，双倍”;"suffer from”可译为“患.... 病”;were exposed to" 意为“ 暴露于，接触”，在本句中可译为“ 在...中生活”。
3.【翻译】尽管互联网技术现在已经十分先进，但是在一些发展中国家互联网在普通用户中还远远没有普及。
【精析】本句考查让步状语从句和常用短语的译法。 “though technically quite advanced today”为让步状语从句，因其主语和主句的主语一致，故可省略,但译成汉语时主语不可省略。“far from”可译为“远非，远不”。注意：状语“in some developing countries”译成汉语时常前置。
4.【翻译】要不是我们在电视上打了那么多广告，你们的产品不会卖得那么好。
【精析】本句考查定语从句和常用短语的译法。“but for”可译为“要不是，如果没有”，引导含蓄虚拟条件。“we put on the television”为定语从句，修饰先行词advertisements，翻译时可译成前置定语。
5.【翻译】这些规章制度使得你用信用卡网购或电话购物时更安全。
【精析】本句考查it 作形式宾语的译法。真正的宾语为不定式短语“to use your...for shopping on the Internet...”，翻译时直接用不定式短语代替it,顺译即可。“shopping on the Internet”可译为“网购”。
6.【翻译】The Chinese diet is considered to be the healthiest in the world.
【精析】被认为是可以用be considered to be, be considered as…等来表达，也可以用be regarded as 但是给的语境后边有be, 所以只能用be considered to; 最健康的， 可以用healthiest, 也可以用fittest。
7.【翻译】They worked day and night in order to pay back the money.
【精析】不分昼夜，夜以继日的表达是day and night; ，偿还用pay back , 但是有的学生会误写成pay off，这是不对的，pay off 有两个含义 1为还清，如： pay off all his debt 还清他所有的债务， 2为值得努力，取得了回报，如： His effort finally paid off. 他所有的辛劳最后达到了回报。
8.【翻译】The boss，whose company his brother works in，has gone to New York.
【精析】公司和老板之间有所属关系，要用定语从句的引导词whose, 去了纽约，强调这个人目前不在这里，所以用have gong to ; 再根据语境提示，所以用has gone to。
9.【翻译】I’d like to have a talk with you when you are free.
【精析】跟某人谈谈”学生最熟悉的是 have a talk with 或者talk with somebody, 其实have a word with更高级一些。 请同学注意：不能使用have words with 因为此短语为“与人打架或者发生口角”。
10.【翻译】This special class is made up of a variety of people.
【精析】“由…组成的”表达有多种，例如： be made up of, consist of, 但是学生要注意主动和被动的差异，如： 我们班有15名男生和20名女生组成。 可以表达：Our class is made up of 15 boys and 20 girls. 或者Our class consists of 15 boys and 20 girls. 多样的， 可以用all sorts 或者a variety 可以构成短语all sorts of 和a variety of。
