Comets（彗星） are parts of our solar system（太阳系）．Like the planets，they go around the sun．
But comets are not made of solid rock like planets．A comet is a ball of dust，stones，and ice．Many people call comets dirty snowballs．
The"snowball"may be only a few miles across．But when the sun heats the"snowball，"much of it is changed to gases．The gases spread out and form the comet's head，which may be thousands of miles across．
***
A comet moves fast in its trip around the sun．But when we see it，the comet does not seem to move．That's because it is so far away．The moon moves fast，but when you look at it，you can't see any motion．That's because the moon is far away．
So comets do not rush across the sky．You cannot see any motion．But if you look night after night，you can see that a comet changes position among the stars．If you watch the moon night after night，you'll see that it also changes position．
Each year astronomers discover new comets．Some of them are seen only
once．They make one trip around the sun and then go way out into space．The sun's gravity（重力、引力）cannot hold them．
Other comets，like Halley，keep returning．They have been captured by the sun．Halley's earliest visit was probably 3，000years ago．It may keep returning for another 3，000years．
But every time a comet goes around the sun，the comet loses part of itself．Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet．That's why Halley is now dimmer than it used to be．Next time it visits us，in 2062，it may be even dimmer．Each visit it may get dimmer and dimmer，until it finally disappears．

54．What is this passage mostly about？D
A．Comets and the sun．
B．Why comets are like snowballs．
C．Who discovered the first comet．

55．According to the passage，some comets have been"captured by the sun．"What does the underlined phrase mean？C

D．The comets have been burned by the sun's heat．

B．By explaining how far away it is．

15．Do you know that women's brains are smaller than men's？Normally the women's brain weighs 10% less than men's．Since research has shown that the bigger the brain，the cleverer the animal，men must be more intelligent（聪明的） than women．Right？Wrong．Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests，despite the difference in brain size．Why？After years of study，researchers have concluded that it's what's inside that matters，not just the size of the brain．The brain is made up of"grey matter"and"white matter"．While men have more of the white matter，the amount（数量）of"thinking"brain is almost the same in both men and women．
It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster，perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women．This means that little girls may learn to speak earlier，and that women can understand sorts of different information at the same time．When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone，cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time，it's women who come out on top every time．
There are other important differences between two sexes（性别）．As white matter is the key to spatial（空间的）tasks，men know better where things are in relation to other things．"A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players，and he knows where to go，"says one researcher．That may explain one of life's great mysteries：why men refuse to ask for directions …and women often need to!
The differences begin when fetuses（胎儿）are about nine weeks old，which can be seen in the action of children when they are very young．A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would ask for help from others．These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills，while more women speech skills．It may all go back to our ancestors，among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt，according to one research．

A．Grey matter controls thinking in the brain．
B．Men's brain is 10% less than women's．

13．

Imagine，getting out of bed in Beijing and being at your office in Shanghai in only a couple of hours，and then，after a full day of work，going back home to Beijing and having dinner there．
Sounds unusual，doesn't it？But it has come true，with the development of China's high-speed railway system（系统）．And that's not all．China has an even greater high-speed railway plan-to connect the country with Southeast Asia，and finally Eastern Europe．
China is negotiating（协商） to spread its own high•-speed railway network to up to 17countries in 10to 15years，at the end reaching London and Singapore．
China has proposed three such projects．The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore through Vietnam and Malaysia．Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan，and possibly to Germany．The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe．
China's plan for the high-speed railway goes forward，people could zip over from London to Beijing within two days．The new system would still follow China's high-speed railway standards．
China's high-speed train，the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou，already has the World's fastest average speed．It covers 1，069kilometers in about three hours．
Of course，there are some technical challenges we have to face．There are so many things to be improved，for example，safety．So，it's important to pay attention to every tiny thing．
But the key point is really money．China is already spending hundreds of billions of yuan on the railway system in the country．
China prefers that the other countries pay in natural resources（资源） rather than with capital  investment（投资）．Resources from those countries could stream into China to its long-term development．
It'll be a win-win project．For other countries，the railway network will surely create more chances for business，tourism and so on，not to mention the better communication among those countries．
For China，such a project would not only connect it with the rest of Asia and bring some much-needed resources，but would also help develop China's far west．We foresee that in the near future，millions of people will move to the western areas，where the land is empty and resources rich．With high-speed trains，people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all．And they'll trade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries．

56．Which of the following is true？B
A．China's far western areas need to be further developed．
B．China plans to connect Southeast Asia with Eastern Europe．
C．There is enough money for China to carry out high-speed railway plan．
D．Safety problem of the high-speed railway has been completely solved．
57．What does the underlined sentence"It'll be a win-win project" in the passage mean？D
A．China will win for ever in the project．
B．The project will win China a lot of money．
C．Chinese will arrive wherever they want to go with the project．
D．The project will do good to both China and the countries mentioned．
58．What's the writer's attitude towards China's high-speed railway plan？A
A．He agrees．
B．He doesn't care about it．
C．He disagrees．
D．He doubts whether it will come true．
59．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage？B
A．New Railway Standards
B．Big Railway Dreams
C．International Railway Network
D．High-speed Trains．
