A Star Is Made
If you examined the birth certificates of every soccer player in a World Cup tournament, you would find an unusual tendency: expert soccer players are more likely to have been born earlier in the year than later. If you then examined the European national youth teams that supply many World Cup players, this tendency would be even more noticeable. In recent English teams, for instance, half born in January, February or March. In Germany, fifty-two were born in the first three months, with just four players born in the last three. What might account for this?
Anders Ericsson, a psychology professor at Florida State University, and his colleagues therefore began studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits, from soccer and surgery to piano playing and software design. They’ve come to a rather surprising conclusion: practice really does make perfect. What we call “talent” is highly overrated, as expert performances are nearly always made, not born. The research also suggests that when it comes to choosing a life path, you should do what you love. People often give up trying to do things they don’t like, telling themselves they simply don’t possess the talent. But what they really lack is the will to succeed and to put in the deliberate practice that would make them better.
The insights of the researchers can explain why so many expert soccer players are born early in the year. Since youth sports are organised by age group, teams have a cut-off birth date. In the European youth soccer leagues, the cut-off date is December 31. So when a coach is assessing two players in the same age group, one born in January and the other in December, the player born in January is likely the bigger, stronger, more mature. Guess who the coach will pick. He may be mistaking maturity for ability but once chosen, those January-born players are the ones who, year after year, receive the training that will turn them into expert players.

【答案】
Expert soccer players in World Cup and European youth teams tend to be born earlier in the year. What’s more, researchers find that expert performances are made by deliberate practice rather than talent. It is explained by youth sports’ age-group cut-off that lets early-born players get more training and become experts.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出世界杯和欧洲青年队足球运动员多出生在年初,并通过研究得出“熟能生巧”、天赋被高估的结论,还结合青年体育的年龄分组规则解释了该现象。
【详解】1. 要点摘录
①expert soccer players are more likely to have been born earlier in the year than later.
②But what they really lack is the will to succeed and to put in the deliberate practice that would make them better.
③He may be mistaking maturity for ability but once chosen, those January-born players are the ones who, year after year, receive the training that will turn them into expert players.
2.缜密构思
第1个要点进行重组,将第2、3两个要点进行整合
3. 遣词造句
①Expert soccer players are more likely to be born earlier in the year, which is more noticeable in European national youth teams.
②Researchers conclude expert performances are made by practice, not born, and talent is overrated.
③Youth sports are organized by age group with a cut-off date, so early-born players are more likely to be selected and get more training, which explains the birth tendency.
【点睛】【高分句型1】 Researchers find that expert performances are made by deliberate practice rather than talent.(用that引导宾语从句衔接逻辑,补充研究发现内容,精准概括核心现象与结论)
【高分句型2】It is explained by youth sports’ age-group cut-off that lets early-born players get more training and become experts.(用that引导限制性定语从句,衔接现象与原因,句式高级,逻辑连贯)
Translation
Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the word given in the brackets.
1.一个连头盔都不肯戴的骑车人怎么可能会有安全意识?(How) (汉译英)
【答案】How can a cyclist who is reluctant to wear a helmet have an awareness of safety?
【详解】考查定语从句。首先一个“骑车的人”可以用短语a cyclist;表示“不肯带头盔”可以用固定搭配be reluctant to“不愿意”,戴头盔通常用动词短语wear a helmet;“一个不肯带头盔的人”可以写成定语从句的形式,用连词who引导,即a cyclist who is reluctant to wear a helmet;“有---的意识”可以表示为have an awareness of。故翻译为How can a cyclist who is reluctant to wear a helmet have an awareness of safety?
2.尽管有网红受邀为这款产品站台,消费者仍需考虑价格、质量等诸多因素。(account)(汉译英)
【答案】Though some Internet / web / online celebrities are / have been invited to back up this product, consumers need to take into account quite a few factors such as its price and quality.
【详解】考查让步状语从句、时态、动词短语和介词短语。前半句“尽管有网红受邀为这款产品站台”,根据句意,谓语可用一般现在时态或现在完成时态;“尽管”表达为连接词though,引导让步状语从句;“网红”表达为名词短语Internet / web / online celebrities,作状语从句的主语;“被邀请……做……”表达为invite sb to do sth,此处invite与“网红”之间为动宾关系,应用被动语态,即are invited或have been invited;“为……站台”即“支持……”,表达为动词短语back up,宾语是“这款产品”this product,可用动词不定式作状语表示目的;前半句翻译为:Though some Internet / web/online celebrities are / have been invited to back up this product。后半句“消费者仍需考虑价格、质量等诸多因素”为主句,主语“消费者”用consumers;“需做……”表达为动词短语need to do sth,为谓语动词,陈述事实用一般现在时;根据要求,“考虑”表达为动词take... into account;宾语“诸多因素”表达为名词短语quite a few factors;“价格、质量等”可表达为短语such as its price and quality,整理语序,故翻译为:Though some Internet / web/online celebrities are / have been invited to back up this product, consumers need to take into account quite a few factors such as its price and quality.
3.把窗帘拉上吧,外面太晒了。(Please...)(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________
【答案】Please draw the curtain because it’s too sunny outside.
【详解】考查祈使句、固定搭配和原因状语从句。本题要翻译成以Please开头的祈使句,其后接动词原形;“拉上窗帘”可以译为draw the curtain;“外面太晒了”是隐含的原因状语,译为because引导的原因状语从句,主从句之间不加逗号;“外面太晒了”译为it’s too sunny outside;故翻译为Please draw the curtain because it’s too sunny outside.
4.很难说那些急功近利的科技初创企业能否赢得消费者的青睐。(There)(汉译英)
_____________________________________________________________________________
【答案】There is no telling whether those high‑flying tech startups eager for quick profits can win the favor of consumers.
【详解】考查固定句型、宾语从句、名词短语、动词短语和时态。根据句意以句子提示词可知,该句为There is no telling…表示“这很难说……”的固定句型,后接从属连词whether表示“是否”引导的宾语从句,在该宾语从句中,表示“那些急功近利的科技初创企业”应为名词短语those high‑flying tech startups;表示“赢得消费者的青睐”应为动词短语win the favor of consumers;结合句意可知,该句应为陈述一般事实,为一般现在时。故翻译为:There is no telling whether those high‑flying tech startups eager for quick profits can win the favor of consumers.
5.这座公园设施陈旧,疏于管理,荒草丛生,经改造后,却让人眼前一亮。(whose)
_______________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Though the park whose facilities were outdated was overgrown with weeds for lack of proper management, it amazed people after being transformed.
【详解】考查让步状语从句、定语从句、动词短语、介词短语和时态。根据句意以及句子结构可知,该句为连词though“尽管,虽然”引导的让步状语从句,在该从句中,表示“这座公园”为名词the park;后接关系代词whose引导的定语从句对先行词the park的修饰,该定语从句中,表示“设施”为名词facilities;表示“陈旧的”为形容词outdated;表示“由于缺乏适当的管理而杂草丛生”可译为were outdated was overgrown with weeds for lack of proper management;在主句中,表示“让人眼前一亮”应为动词短语amazed people;表示“经改造后”应为介词短语after being transformed;结合句意可知,该句陈述过去发生的事情,为一般过去时。故翻译为Though the park whose facilities were outdated was overgrown with weeds for lack of proper management, it amazed people after being transformed.

【答案】
As an essential part of middle school education, aesthetic education is widely carried out in our school, with music and art courses provided. Yet many students have a superficial understanding of beauty, focusing merely on external forms, skill mastery or fashion trends and lacking the ability to truly appreciate traditional arts like calligraphy and Chinese painting.
There are three main reasons for this. For one thing, buried in academic work, students have little time to explore traditional art. For another thing, aesthetic courses lay more stress on skill training rather than guiding students to feel art’s inner beauty and cultural connotation. Finally, popular culture exerts a great influence, making students favor trendy things over traditional arts.
To change this situation, joint efforts are needed. It is schools that should hold traditional art activities to arouse students’ interest. Teachers, meanwhile, ought to adjust teaching methods. They inspire students to understand the charm behind artworks. As for students, they need to take the initiative to learn traditional culture, cultivating the ability to discover inner beauty. Only in this way can aesthetic education play its real role and help students form a correct view of beauty.
【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生结合学校美育开设现状,描述中学生美育教育存在的问题、分析成因并提出改善建议。
【详解】1.词汇积累
开展;实行:carry out → conduct
欣赏:appreciate → admire
强调;重视:lay stress on → focus on/ highlight/ lay emphasis on
培养:cultivate → foster
2.句式拓展
合并简单句
