Most scientists tend to agree with astronomer Fred. T. Whipple that a comet is really a large mushy(adj.糊状的, 玉米粥状的) snowball (n.雪球)of frozen ices and bits of solid particles stuck inside. But none is sure how comets are created in the first place. 主谓一致指的是谓语动词在人称和数上必须与主语保持一致。处理主谓一致问题可依据三项原则：语法上一致、意义上一致和就近一致。 谓语动词用单数 1）以单位数名词或代词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语或从句作主语时，谓语动词一般要用单数动词。如： To work hard is necessary. 努力工作是必要的。 Reading without comprehension is no good.只读不理解是不好的。 2)事件、国家、机构名称、书刊及其他作品的名称（专有名词）用作主语时，谓语动词用单数。如： The United States was formed in 1776. 美国于1776年成立。 The New York Times still has a wide circulation. 纽约时报仍然发行量很大。 Roots is a novel about a black family. “根”是一部关于（美国）黑人家庭的小说。 谓语动词用单数 3）表示时间、距离、重量、度量、价值等的复数形式主语，习惯上用单数谓语动词。如： Two weeks was too long. 两周太长了。 Ten dollars is a small sum. 十美元是个小数字。 Five times five makes twenty five. 五乘以五是二十五。 One and a half bananas is left on the table. 一只半香蕉留在桌子上。 4) 表示学科和某些疾病名称的名词是复数形式，作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。如： Linguistics is a branch of study on human language. 语言学是人类语言中的一个分支。 谓语动词用单数 5)有些名词形式是复数，意义为单数，作主语时，要求单数动词。如： The chaos was stopped by the police. 混乱被警察阻止了。 The news is a great encouragement to us. 这新闻对我们来说是一个很大的鼓舞。 6) 带有量词的词组，如a portion
