Like the planets, they go around the sun.But comets are not made of solid rocks like planets. A comet is a ball of dust, stones, and ice. Many people call comets dirty snowballs.The snowballmay 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 comets 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. Thats because it is so far away. The moon moves fast, but when you look at it, you cant see any motion(运动). Thats because the moon is far away.Each year astronomers(天文学家) discover new comets. Some of them are seen only once. They make one trip around the sun and then go away out into space. The suns gravity cannot hold them.Other comets, like Halley, keep returning. They have been captured by the sun. Halleys earliest visit was probably 3,000 years ago. It may keep returning for another 3,000 years.But every time a comet goes around the sun, the comet loses part of itself. Gases and dust are pulled out of the comet. Thats why Halley is now dimmer（暗淡的） 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.（1）What is this passage mostly about?A . Comets and the sun.B . Why comets are like snowballs.C . Who discovered the first comet.D . Facts about comets.（2）How does the writer help the reader understand what a comet looks like?A . By telling about a famous one.B . By explaining how far away it is.C . By describing how fast it moves.D . By describing it as a dirty snowball.（3）What is the most likely reason the writer wrote this passage?A . To give information about comets.B . To tell readers about famous comets.C . To explain the importance of comets.D . To encourage readers to look for comets.12. （8分） When women sit together to watch a movie on TV, at the same time they usually talk about a lot of subjects, including children, men, careers and whats happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen-they cant do both-and they dont understand that women can. Besides(此外), women think that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships-not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring (盯着) at the screen.During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot(the story that is told in a novel or play or movie etc.) and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the small body language signals that show how the characters are feeling emotionally(情绪上). Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to communicate successfully because they want to keep relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to connect to the facts.Men see the telephone as a communication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a way of keeping relationship. A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.There is no convincing(令人信服的)evidence that social conditioning, the fact that girls mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr. Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents reply to the brain differences of their children. Since a girls brain is better organized to send and receive speech, we talk to them more. As a result, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short complaints in reply.（1）While watching TV with others, women usually talk a lot because they _.a new wonderful placeDremind her of something forgottenA . are afraid of silence with their families and friendsB . can both talk and watch the screen at the same timeC . think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsD . have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands（2）After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours so as to _.A . experience the happy time againB . keep a close tie with herC . recommend her a new wonderful placeD . remind her of something forgotten（3）What does the writer want to tell us most?A . Womens brains are better organized for language and communication.B . Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.C . Men do not like talking because they believe more in facts.D . Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.（4）Which of the following would be the BEST title for the passage?A . Women Are Socially Trained to TalkB . Talking Keeps RelationshipsC . Women Love to TalkD . Men Talk Differently from Women四、 词汇运用 (共2题；共15分)13. （5分）用所给的适当形式填空（1）Have you_(take) part in our school party?（2）Feeling weak after a long_(ill)，she planned to take more exercise（3）Have your parents_(read)daily newspapers?（4）The little boy stayed up too late last night and he felt_(sleep)the next morning（5）The tea is too hot for us_(drink)14. （10分）why, want, tell , when , what, wait for, try, run away, a long time, at lastOn a cold winter day, a fox _ mother bear that he would teach her how to fish.

Inner voice always shows thoughts and ideas in the body.It justifies（判断） what is right and what is wrong. When we go against inner voice, we usually feel uncomfortable throughout our lives.Sometimes when we are feeling sad, we seem to need some kind of support in spirit. We usually speak to our closest friend or our dearest family member during times of unhappiness to feel better. After talking to them, we suddenly feel active again, because our inner voice reminds us to get on with things and leave the things of the past in the memory.Inner voice is always right most of the time, because it knows us better than others and even ourselves. Its good to go by inner voice most of the time. Whenever you are trying to smoke, or whenever you are asked to choose one side in an argument, you are always worried about the result. During these times, your inner voice tells you what to do. If you dont follow your inner voice, you might be unhappy in the future. Its our own choice to either pay no attention to our inner voice or follow it and search for real happiness.Title: Inner voice helps a lot
