What is Strengths Finder
Do you have the opportunity to do best every day?
Chances are you don’t. All too often, our natural talents go undeveloped. We
devote more time to fixing our disadvantages than to developing our advantages.
In 1998, the Father of Strengths Psychology, Donald O. Clifton, Ph. D. (1924～
2003), along with Tom Rath and a team of scientists at The Gallup Organization,
created the online Strenghths Finder assessment (评估).
To help people develop their talents, in 2001, Gallup introduced the first
online assessment, Strengths Finder, which led to a global conversation and
helped millions to discover their top five talents. In 2004, the assessment’s
name was formally changed to Clifton Strengths Finder in honor of its designer.
In 2007, Rath and Gallup scientists released (发行) a new edition (版本) of
the assessment called Strengths Finder 2.0. Rooted (扎根) in more than 40 years
of research, this assessment has continued to help millions discover and develop
their natural talents.
In its latest national bestseller, Strengths Finder 2,0, Gallup releases the
new and improves its popular assessment and much more. While you can read this
book, you’ll use it as a reference for decades.
With hundreds of ways to apply your strengths, the new book and website will
change the way you look at yourself—and the world around you—forever.

I work as the reception manager at my hotel.
A booking came in a few weeks ago with a note attached that a guest would be
travelling with her deaf father. This note helped us in preparing for their
arrival. As they would be here for a number of days, his daughter wanted to make
his trip to Ireland as smooth as possible.
Upon seeing this note and knowing I would be the one to check them in, I
decided to learn some very basic sign language. I greeted the guest in my usual
fashion, asking for the surname on the booking. Once I heard the name ， I
immediately realized who was standing in front of me.I had been learning for two weeks how to say: “Welcome to Ireland. My sign
language is terrible, but please, if you need anything during your stay, just let
me know and we will help you.”
I smiled at the father and daughter in front of me. Turning to the father, I
greeted him in ASL (American Sign Language) and began the bit I had learned for
him. His daughter broke down crying and told me I was sweet. But the father just
smiled and was so happy. Honestly, seeing his reaction was enough for me. It was
absolutely worth the last few weeks of learning basic ASL.
Sadly, I wasn’t working the day they checked out, but they left a gift for
me, a small box with some chocolates and a book on ASL. Inside was a note saying:
“Thank you very much for what you did. My father has been in amazing spirits
from the time you checked us in and insisted we get you a gift before we left.
You have no idea how much this meant to my father and me, and we can’t thank you
enough. You've made his trip very special with one simple gesture.”
I cried for a solid five minutes when I came into work the next day and found
this gift in my locker.

In 1992, Teen Talk Barbie was released with the controversial voice fragment,
“Math class is hard.” While the toy's release met with strong public reaction,
this underlying assumption persists, spreading the myth that women do not thrive
in science, technology, engineering and mathematic (STEM) fields due to
biological inadequacies in math aptitude. However, in 2019 Jessica Cantlon at
Carnegie Mellon University led a research team that comprehensively examined the
brain development of young boys and girls and found no gender difference in brain function or math ability.
Cantlon and her team conducted the first neuroimaging study to evaluate
biological gender differences in math aptitude of young children. Her team used
functional MRI （ 核 磁 共 振 ） to measure the brain activity in 104 young children
(3-to-10-year-old; 55 girls) while watching an educational video covering early
math topics, like counting and addition. The researchers compared scans from the
boys and girls to evaluate brain similarity. In addition, the team examined brain
maturity by comparing the children's scans to those taken from a group of adults
(63 adults; 25 women) who watched the same math videos.
After numerous statistical comparisons, Cantlon and her team found no
difference in the brain development of girls and boys. In addition, the
researchers found no difference in how boys and girls processed math skills and
were equally engaged while watching the educational videos. Finally, boys' and
girls' brain maturity were statistically equivalent when compared to either men
or women in the adult group.
Cantlon said she thinks society and culture are likely steering girls and
young women away from math and STEM fields, as previous studies show that
families spend more time with young boys in play that involves spatial cognition
（空间认知）. “Typical socialization can make worse small differences between
boys and girls that can snowball into how we treat them in science and math,”
Cantlon said. “We need to be aware of these origins to ensure we aren't the ones
causing the gender inequities.”
However, this project is focused on early childhood development using a
limited set of math tasks. Cantlon wants to continue this work using a broader
scope of math skills, such as spatial processing and memory, and follow the
children over many years.
8. What can we infer about the toy’s release?
A. It has raised a storm of applause.
B. Girls perform no worse than boys in math.
C. Math is a subject difficult to every one of us.
D. Women are born with insufficient math abilities.9. What can we learn from the study conducted by Cantlon?
A. Boys process math skills more quickly than girls.
B. Boys and girls have similar brain in math abilities.
C. Boys and girls have similar interest in math.
D. Adults have better brain than children in math.
10. What will Cantlon most likely agree with?
A. Parents should lengthen the time spent with girls.
B. Society is causing a greater gender difference in math abilities.
C. Culture plays a leading role in children’s brain development.
D. We should cultivate boys’ and girls’ math abilities equally.
11. How will Cantlon further her research?
A. By using a wider range of math skills.
B. By involving a broader scope of subjects.
C. By increasing the complexity of math tasks.
D. By following the children until their adulthood.

Some of the most powerful companies in the world have co-founders. For
example, Google(Sergey Brin and Larry Page),Apple(Steve Wozniak and Steve
Jobs),and Microsoft(Bill Gates and Paul Allen)and so on. Having partners can help
to deal with the pressure and the failures that come with running a business. No
matter how down on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support. They
may have extra skills, and be on hand to help out with the day-to-day problems.
And an alternate point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of
mistakes being overlooked.
Everybody knows Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7.When the phone was launched in
2016,customers praised it for its storage, design and usability, and it may well
have been a hit if it weren’t for the fact that it occasionally caught fire and
exploded. It was soon banned immediately from flights, and Samsung had no choice
but to recall the entire model. The shortcoming reportedly cost the company $1
billion, and a further $17 billion in lost sales. But remember, based on the
lesson, the Galaxy Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world!
Now we know that failing is part of business success.One thing that all great companies have in common is that they have failed
many times—and luckily, they bounced back. Take Sarah Blakely, founder of
shapewear brand Spanx for example. She credits her business success specifically
to her failures. “I’d get kicked out of buildings all day long, “she
remembered. “People would tear up my business card in my face. But my friends
and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had created. I
learned that ‘no’ doesn’t always mean ‘no’ ,and that you may get 30 nos
before you get the one yes. People told me no with Spanx for two years. “Spanx
is worth just over $1 billion—it was a company that Blakely who took a degree in
a law school started with just $5 000!
12. What can we learn from the examples in Paragraph 1?
A. Two heads are better than one.
B. Constant dropping wears the stone.
C. God helps those who help themselves.
D. All things are difficult before they are easy.
13. Why does the author mention Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7,8 and 9?
A. To suggest customers should follow the new trends.
B. To prove Samsung is responsible for customers.
C. To show Samsung paid for its product failure.
D. To explain that failures don’t spell the end.
14. What mainly contributed to Sarah Blakely’s success?
A. Her friends’help. B. Her will power.
C. Her good luck. D. Her education background.
15. How does the author develop the passage?
A. By making contrast. B. By making classification.
C. By giving examples. D. By giving numbers.

【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过列举大公司的事例来说明商业上的一些经验，
如列举世界上一些拥有合作伙伴的大公司，来说明拥有合作伙伴可以帮助处理经营企业带来的
压力和失败；以及用三星盖乐世 Note 7 手机为例，说明了失败是商业成功的一部分和最后以Sarah Blakely 为例，说明了伟大的公司都是经历过许多次失败的。
12. 【解析】推理判断题。根据第一段中“Having partners can help to deal with the
pressure and the failures that come with running a business. No matter how down
on your luck you feel they may provide emotional support. They may have extra
skills, and be on hand to help out with the day-to-day problems. And an alternate
point of view may help to broaden your mind and aid the risk of mistakes being
overlooked.”（有合作伙伴可以帮助处理经营企业带来的压力和失败。不管你的运气有多差，
他们可能会给你情感上的支持。他们可能有额外的技能，可以随时帮助解决日常问题。而另一
种观点可能有助于开阔你的思路，帮助你避免犯被忽视的错误。）可知第一段举出了世界上一
些最强大的公司都有联合创始人，强调是因为这些合作伙伴能够互相帮助，用自身优势来解决
问题，所以从第一段的例子中能学到“三个臭皮匠，顶个诸葛亮”。故选 A。
13. 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段中 But remember, based on the lesson, the Galaxy
Note 8 and the Galaxy Note 9 are well received in the world! Now we know that
failing is part of business success.（但请记住，基于这一教训，Galaxy Note 8 和
Galaxy Note 9 在世界上很受欢迎!现在我们知道失败是商业成功的一部分。）可知作者提到三
星的 Galaxy Note 7、8 和 9 是为了解释失败并不意味着终结。故选 D。
14. 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’d get kicked out of buildings all day long,
“she remembered. “People would tear up my business card in my face. But my
friends and I knew I could sell and I knew I wanted to sell something I had
created. I learned that ‘no’ doesn’t always mean ‘no’, and that you may get
30 nos before you get the one yes.（“我整天都会被赶出大楼，”她回忆道。“人们会当
着我的面撕毁我的名片。但是我的朋友和我知道我可以卖掉，我知道我想卖我创造的东西。我
明白了“不”并不总是意味着“不”，而且你可能会在得到一个“是”之前得到 30 个“不”。）
可知 Sarah Blakely 虽然被拒绝了很多次，但是凭借顽强的意志力不断尝试，最终获得成功。
故她成功的原因是因为她顽强的意志力。故选 B。
15. 【解析】推理判断题。根据文章的第二段以三星的盖乐世 Note 7 手机为例，说明了失败
是商业成功的一部分；第三段以 Sarah Blakely 为例，说明了伟大的公司都是经历过许多次失
败的。可知作者主要通过举例来展开这篇文章的。故选 C。

【语篇解读】本文是说明文，介绍了一种非常舒适的旅行方式——高速铁路。
41. 考查形容词。句意：它们干净的、安静的并且高效的。and 是并列连词，前面的 clean, quiet
都是形容词，应用 efficiency 的形容词形式，故填 efficient。
42. 考查时态。句意：自 2008 年第一列高速列车投入使用以来，中国在这一领域领先于其他
发展中国家，甚至一些发达国家。since“自从”，常与现在完成时连用；lead 是不规则动词，

This summer holiday, I go to a seaside city with my family. We got there by
air. It is a very beautiful and modern city, where impressed us a lot. On the
first day, we took a bus to a place calling the Sea Park. There were such many
different kinds of fishes that I couldn’t believe in my eyes. On the second day,
we went swimming, and we all enjoyed ourselves. During the next two days, we went
to some tourist spot, shopping and taking photos. Several days late, we left the
city. Although we were tiring on our way home, we felt happily about the holiday.
What unforgettable experience!
【答案】
1. 第一句：go→went
2. 第三句：where→which
3. 第四句：calling→called
4. 第五句：such→so
5. 第五句：去掉 in
6. 第七句：spot→spots
7. 第八句：late→later
8. 第九句：tiring→tired
9. 第九句：happily→happy
10. 第十句：unforgettable 前加 an
【语篇解读】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和家人暑假去一个海滨城市度假的故事。
1. 考查一般过去时。句意：这个暑假，我和我的家人去了一个海滨城市度假。全文用的都是一般过去时，所以这句话也应使用一般过去时。故将 go 改为 went。
2. 考查非限制性定语从句。句意：这是一个非常美丽又现代的城市，给我们留下了深刻的印
象。这是一个非限制性定语从句，从句缺少主语，且先行词应该为前边整句话，所以关系词应
用 which。故将 where 改为 which。
3. 考查过去分词作定语。句意：第一天，我们乘公共汽车去了一个叫海洋公园的地方。
根据句意，这里的 a place 被叫作“Sea Park”，因此应该使用过去分词作作定语。故将 calling
改为 called。
4. 考查副词。句意：这儿有如此多不同种类的鱼以至于我不能相信自己的眼睛。在 so…that
和 such…that 句型中，名词前有 many, much, few, little 修饰时只能用 so...that，不能
用 such ...that。故将 such 改为 so。
5. 考查实义动词。句意同上。believe in sb.表示“相信某人的品行或能力”。believe sb.
表示“相信某人说的话”。can’t believe one’s eyes / ears 相当于 can’t believe what
one sees / hears，表示“不相信自己所看到的或所听到的”。故将 believe 后的 in 去掉。
6. 考查名词的数。句意：接下来的两天内，我们去了一些旅游景点，购物，拍照片。spot 是
可数名词，其前面有 some 修饰，故应用 spot 的复数形式。故将 spot 改为 spots。
7. 考查副词。句意：几天后，我们离开了那座城市。late 表示“迟的；晚的”；later 常与一
个表示具体时间的名词连用，指从过去或将来某一时间算起的“……后”“过了……”。根据
句意，故将 late 改为 later。
8. 考查形容词。句意：尽管回家的路上，我们很累，但是我们为这次旅游感到很开心。 tiring
令人感到疲倦；tired 某人感到疲倦。表示“在回家的路上，我们很累。”，故将 tiring 改为
tired。
9. 考查形容词作表语。句意同上。本句中的 feel 是系动词，表示“感到”，其后应用形容词，
形成系表结构。故将 happily 改为 happy。
10. 考查不定冠词。句意：多么难忘的经历。分析句子结构可知，这是一个感叹句。experience
是作“经历”讲时，是可数名词， 所以这里应加上定冠词，unforgettable 是元音音素开头，
故要用 an。故在 unforgettable 前加 an。
