(注意题后的字数要求) _______________. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways: education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the growing of America has made it a very different society, one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his or her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in wh ich one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesn’t surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.Many people say, “I am much younger than my mother or my father was at my age.” No one says, “Act your age” any more. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.41. What is mainly talked about in the passage? ( Within 12 words)__________________________________________________________________________ 42. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?We no longer feel astonished when older people behave as young people.___________________________________________________________________________ 43. Fill in the blank with proper word to complete the sentence. (Within 6 words) ___________________________________________________________________________ 44. What does “Act your age” mean?___________________________________________________________________________ 45. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.___________________________________________________________________________The MississippiThe Mississippi is a great river whose relationship with man goes way back beyond its discovery in the 16th century. The River Indians used it as a highway and as a source of food, and it was they who gave it its name—“misi” meaning “great” and “sipi” meaning “water”．When the length of its branch, the Missouri, is added to it, the Mississippi becomes greater. 46 . From the source of the Missouri to the tip of the delta (三角洲), it is 2, 480 miles long.Great rivers are likely to suffer floods. In 1927 the Mississippi flooded 26 thousand acres, sweeping away farms, towns, everything in its path. In 1938 its floods drowned or killed 200 people and made millions homeless. Today the river has largely been controlled. 47 .Industries have spread down some of the waterways of the delta, but otherwise the delta is a remote place, the homeland of a little colony of French Canadians that the British drove out of Nova Scotia in the 18th century. They still speak French, mixed with English, Indian, Spanish and Negro idioms. They keep to themselves, farming the rich soil of the delta. 48 .49 . Pioneers who first reached its banks wondered not only where it went, but what lay beyond. In 1764 the French founded a city on the right bank of the river, and named it after their king, Louis XV. This city, named St. Louis, became the jumping-off(起点) place for the adventurous men and women who opened up the Great Plains, and the way to the Far West.Some 40 years earlier, at the beginning of the 18th century, the French had founded another city just above the Mississippi delta, New Orleans. 50 . New Orleans is one of the great ports of the world, and one of the greatest terminalsfor both sea and river traffic.A．It was the Mississippi that made the city what it isB．Levees, high banks built of earth, hold back the flood watersC．Therefore, as we know, it’s the third longest river in the worldD．It is known that the “Great Water” has also been a frontier river E．However, they paddled up and down the Mississippi in their boats to seek their fortuneF．The “Grea t Water” always remains a threat, for the streets of the city are below the level of the riverG． They call themselves Cajuns, who have actually been leading fairly primitive lives and preserving their own traditions四、书面表达（满分15分）假如你是李华，是阳光中学学生会主席，根据双方约定，你们打算今年夏天去伦敦Ealing School进行四个星期的学习及旅游。
