黑龙江省哈尔滨市2020年中考英语模拟调研卷（二）
A change is coming in the forest. Scientists are trying to make the logging (伐木)companies stop clear - cutting. We have to protect the fish, wildlife and water quality. The forest is a beautiful place that people should be able to enjoy.
Everything would change if all the trees were cut down. The trees, animals and water depend on each other. Many plants and animals would be in danger of dying out. It would even change our weather.
This does not mean all of the trees cannot be cut down. It just means all the trees in one place cannot be cut down at one time. We should plant new trees when the old ones are cut down. Then the land won't be destroyed (摧毁)and the animals will still be able to live well.
The companies are beginning to take care when they cut down trees. They are now leaving many dead trees so that small animals will have homes. They are leaving many trees to give shelter for animals.
Both the companies and the forest scientists are trying to agree on things. They have to balance (平衡) the wood we need with protecting the forest. A good rule seems to be not to cut more than you grow each year.
From the Other Side
Lara and Tara are twins. They look like each other, but they are very different in everything else. For example, hot food is Lara's favorite, and Tara has a sweet choice.
However, this isn't the problem with the twin girls. They always argues that the opposite one was wrong. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, while Tara thought mornings were fresh and it was difficult to stay up till midnight.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} To put an end to their fights, their parents decided to create a small drama. They wanted the girls to understand that they were both correct from their own point of view. Their parents covered the girl's eyes with black ribbons (带、条), and brought them to the dining room. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Lara was asked to stand on one side of the board and Tara on the other. They couldn't see the other side of it. When the ribbons were taken away, they were surprised to see a huge board between them.
Now, their father asked Lara, "What's the color of the board?" She replied, "It's black!" {#blank#}4{#/blank#} She replied, "It's white!" The two girls began to argue again. While Lara was confident it was black, Tara was sure it was white. Then, they were asked to exchange (交换) their places. They couldn't believe their eyes. Tara, who insisted (坚持) it was a white board, saw a black one. Similarly, Lara, who argued the board was black, was surprised to see a white one. They understood that each of them was right in her own view. Most of us are like Lara and Tara. We are right most times, but insist that others are wrong!
