From the Other Side

Lara and Tara are twins. _________(56), 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 argued that the opposite one was wrong. ________(57), while Tara insisted that mornings were fresh and it was difficult to stay up till
midnight  
______(58). 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 girls' eyes with black ribbona, and brought them to the dining room.______(59). 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!" ______(60). She replied, "It's whiter!” 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 it was a white board, saw a black one. Similarly, Lara, who argued the board was black, was shocked 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!

56. A  【解析】观察设空后是逗号，且后面连词but,即逻辑关系表 转折，息思前后相反。后面说他们“不同”那么前面就是他们“相同”。选项A中“They look like each other"，故正确答案为选项A。
57. E  【解析】观察设空后面是逗号，逗号后面是连词while，此处while表转折，前后相反，后面说Tara的观点。前面就是Lara的观点。选项E "Lava thought.…与逻辑相符，故正确答案为选项E。
58. B  【解析】观察设空位置在段首，了解空后一句即可。通过后  面一句话，为了结束他们的争吵父母进行了一个举措。所以前面是他们进行了多年的争吵。选项C "For years, their arguments continued' 与后一句目的一致，故正确答案为选项B。
59. D  【解析】观察设空位置在段落中，需要联系前后句。通过选 项in the room中的定冠词the，我们可知这个room是前文提及过的，因为59空前提及了父母把他们带到了一个屋子，且选项中出现了“-big board”。后文中也出现了"the board".说明上文也有提及，故正
确答案为选项D。
60. C  【解析】观察设空位置在段中，需要联系前后句。后文是reply，所以前面是需要一个提问。前一句说的是他们父亲的提问，两个女孩的回答。现在是他们的母亲进行提问。选项C "Their mother asked…与之相关.故正确答案为选项C。
