Question

3．Everyone has talent，but not everyone succeeds with their talent．More factors than mere talent attribute to a greater personal success．Having talent or being talented is never enough to find success in life．
Dr．John Maxwell has written a new book to explain that there is more to success than just being talented．He says that the only way to find success in life is to apply good choices to talent and rise above the crowd．He believes that talented people need more than their gifts or abilities to succeed in life．There must be something more than just talent to become successful．A talent-plus person，a person who rises above the understanding of mere talent，is much more likely to find success than those with just talent alone．
People who have talent must be willing to make the right choices to maximize their talent．Wrong choices will minimize their talent，preventing them from rising to higher levels in life．Maximizing talent requires people to make good choices，but understanding that there are specific things in life requires no talent at all．Maxwell lists many different choices that people make to become a talent-plus persons including Belief lifts talent，Relationships influence talent，Responsibility strengthens talent，Teamwork multiplies talent，etc．
Following the simple principles found in the book can not only help people raise the level of their talent but also raise their level of living．When people combine the principles with their talents they can become a talent-plus person．The choice becomes one of willingness and personal change．Talent-plus people have the ability to change their life and the world．

Answer 1

分析 本文通过引用John Maxwell博士新书里的观点，论述了个人的天赋与获得成功的关系以及想要获取成功并成为一名更具才能的人方法．

解答 答案：
56．Having talent is not enough to find success/Talent is never enough/To be a talent-plus person/More factors than mere talent．
细节理解题    根据第二段中的"Dr．John Maxwell has written…than just being talented．"可知，John Maxwell博士所写的那本新书的主要内容是：解释了"想要获取成功仅仅具备天赋是不够的"这一观点；此处与第一段表达的观点一致；故可根据书的内容确定它的标题，故答案为：Having talent is not enough to find success/Talent is never enough/To be a talent-plus person/More factors than mere talent．
57．He should make good choices．/He should apply good choices to talent．
细节理解题     根据第二段中的"He says that the only way to find success in life is to apply good choices to talent and rise above the crowd．（他说，在生活中找到成功的唯一方法是做出好的选择，并结合自己的天赋，以显示自己的与众不同）"可知，要想使自己成为更具才能的人，需要做出好的选择，故此处的答案应是：He should make good choices．/He should apply good choices to talent．
58．Belief．Relationship．Responsibility．Teamwork．（答出其中三个即可）
细节理解题      根据第三段中的"Maxwell lists many different choices that people make to become a talent-plus persons including Belief lifts talent，Relationships influence talent，Responsibility strengthens talent，Teamwork multiplies talent，etc．"Maxwell列出了促使人们成为更具才能的人的多种选择，故答案为：Belief．Relationship．Responsibility．Teamwork．（答出其中三个即可）
59．To increase something as much as possible．
词义猜测题     根据倒数第二段中的"Wrong choices will minimize their talent，preventing them from rising to higher levels in life．错误的选择将会使他们的才能降到最低的水平，阻止他们上升到更高的生活空间"可知，此处的Wrong choices对应的是前一句中的 the right choices；故可推测出 minimize（使减少（或缩小）到最低限度，使缩到最小） 对应的应是maximize；故答案为：To increase something as much as possible．
60．Open．本句问的是你想不想成为一个更有天赋的人，为什么或者为什么不？并给出一两条理由．答案符合题意即可．
