【解析】

考查句子翻译。

【1】考查强调句。结合句意以及给出的句式可知为强调句结构“it is (was)+被强调成分+that (who)+其他”本句中强调的是主语从句部分“what we don’t know”。结合句意可知应用一般现在时，且为否定意义。故译为It is not what we don’t know that gets us into trouble.。

【2】考查固定短语。固定短语take it for granted that…“视为当然；把……当成理所当然”，故译为Many people take it for granted that what is happening is sure to go on.。

【3】考查固定短语。固定短语leave a false impression“造成……假象”，固定短语queue at“排队”，且根据句意可知应用一般现在时，故译为Some restaurant hire some people especially to queue at the gate, leaving a false impression that their business is prosperous.。

【4】考查主谓一致。固定短语under such circumstance“在这样的情况下”；且定语从句中先行词被any修饰，谓语动词需要用第三人称单数形式。本句为条件状语从句，用一般现在时，故译为Under such circumstance, if there is any topic that most needs avoiding, it must be people’s income.。

强调句结构。

为了突出句子中的某一部分，我们通常会使用某种方法或手段使它突出，以便能引起他人的注意，这就是强调，与此相关的句子就是强调句。强调句是一种修辞，是人们为了表达自己的意愿或情感而使用的一种形式。其结构为it is (was)+被强调成分+that (who)+其他。

1、陈述句的强调句型

It is/ was + 被强调部分(通常是主语、宾语或状语)+ that/ who(当强调主语且主语指人)+ 其他部分。

2、一般疑问句的强调句型，把is/ was提到it前面。

3、特殊疑问句的强调句型，被强调部分(通常是疑问代词或疑问副词)+ is/ was + it + that/ who + 其他部分?

4、not … until … 句型的强调句

句型为：It is/ was not until + 被强调部分 + that + 其他部分

普通句：He didn't go to bed until/ till his wife came back.

强调句：It was not until his wife came back that he went to bed.

注意：此句型只用until，不用till。但如果不是强调句型，till, until可通用;因为句型中It is/ was not ... 已经是否定句了，that后面的从句要用肯定句，切勿再用否定句了。

如第一小题，结合句意以及给出的句式可知为强调句结构“it is (was)+被强调成分+that (who)+其他”本句中强调的是主语从句部分“what we don’t know”。结合句意可知应用一般现在时，且为否定意义。故填It is not what we don’t know that gets us into trouble.。
