试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了彗星的组成部分，为什么叫做彗星。彗星有一部分会移出我们的视线再也不回来，但又有一部分会定期回来像哈雷彗星。

1.根据后文It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射)可知彗星像行星一样本身不发光。故选C。

.2.根据后文These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail.可知这些云加上尘埃形成长长的尾巴。可知上文会提到云的形成故选D。

3.上文许多人可能见过彗星。根据句子的转折词.However，可知与上文发生转折。故选B。

4.根据后文Others keep coming back at regular times. 其他的彗星会定期回归可知前文再说一些彗星。故选B。

5.是非判断题。根据Others keep coming back at regular times.可知彗星会定期回归。故B项是错误的。
