Along with its major tributary, the Missouri River, the river drains all or parts of 31 U.S. states stretching from the Rocky Mountains in the west to the Appalachian Mountains in the east to the Canada-U.S. border on the north, including most of the Great Plains, and is the fourth longest river in the world and the tenth most powerful river in the world.The current form of the Mississippi River basin was largely shaped by the Cordilleran Ice Sheet of the most recent Ice Age. The southernmost extentof this enormous glaciation extended well into the present-day United States and Mississippi basin. When the ice sheet began to recede, hundreds of feet of rich sediment were deposited, creating the flat and fertile landscape of the Mississippi Valley. During the melt, giant glacial rivers found drainage paths into the Mississippi watershed, creating such features as the Minnesota River, James River, and Milk River valleys. When the ice sheet completely retreated, many of these "temporary" rivers found paths to Hudson Bay or the Arctic Ocean, leaving the Mississippi Basin with many features "oversized" for the existing rivers to have carved in the same time period. The Mississippi River Delta has shifted and changed constantly since the formation of the river, but the construction of dams on the river has greatly reduced the flow of sediment to the delta. In recent years, the Mississippi's mouth has shown a steady shift towards the Atchafalaya River channel, but because of floodworks at the river's mouth, this change of course—which would be catastrophic for seaports at the river mouth—has been held at bay.Hundreds of Native American tribes have depended on the Mississippi River and its tributaries for thousands of years. Although they knew the river by many different names, it was the Ojibwe word misi-ziibi, meaning Great River, or gichi-ziibi, meaning Big River, that ultimately gave the river its present-day name. European explorers reached the mouth of the river as early as the 1500s and 1600s. The river throughout history has served as the border for New France, New Spain, and the early United States—its size and importance made it a formidable boundary as well as a strategic military location, and later, an important artery for steamboats to travel on. Writer Mark Twain was one of the most well-known figures on the river in this period. Even today, the river serves as partial boundaries for ten states, and most of its course can easily be seen on a political map. The Mississippi has also been known for great flooding events, especially in the twentieth century which experienced up to four 100-year floods. This has led to the construction of hundreds of miles of levees along nearly the entire course of the river, although they have not always succeeded to prevent the greatest floods.Throughout its history, whether for Native Americans, explorers, or modern commerce, the Mississippi has always been a major navigation route through the center of North America. In the 19th and 20th centuries, despite its slow current and relative depth, a series of dams were constructed on the river, one of the most notable of which is at St. Anthony Falls in Minneapolis. These dams facilitate navigation for a steady stream of barge traffic carrying agricultural products from the fertile Mississippi Basin to the Gulf Coast, and like the Columbia River, most of the Mississippi also is a cascade of reservoirs. Most of its bigtributaries—the Missouri and Ohio Rivers—have also been developed for navigation. However, the development of the 20th and 21st centuries has also come with environmental problems, the most infamous of which is the enormous Gulf of Mexico dead zone that extends hundreds of miles out to sea from the river's mouth. Because of dredging activity to deepen the Mississippi River channel, many natural features such as sandbars and meanders no longer exist. Efforts are being made to clean up the river and its tributaries, including the establishment of National Park Service sites on the river and the prevention of agricultural waste from flowing into the river.。

The Mississippi rises in Minnesota（明尼苏达州）and then flows south, following the boundaries between many states from north to south. Its triangular drainage area, covering about 40% of the country and including all or part of 31 states, is approximately 3,250,000 sq km (1,250,000 sq mi), the third largest in the world.The name Mississippi is derived from the Algonquian word, which from a language used by a native people of North America, misi-ziibi ("Great River") or gichi-ziibi ("Big River") at its headwaters.And the name means "father of waters". The agriculture of areas along the Mississippi river is quite prosperous. First are crops. There are many fertile farms in the plain area of Mississippi，which is granaries of America.

密西西比河 The Mississippi River, the Symbol of American Spirits

The Mississippi River, the Symbol of American SpiritsThe Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, plays a very brilliant and predominant role in American literature. It is a novel of freedom and integrity. The story is about Huck Finn and Jim‟s adv entures journey down the Mississippi River on a raft. Huck is a white boy with a good heart, who escapes from being “civilized” and the maltreatment of his drunkard father. Jim is a runaway nigger, who is afraid of being sold. They are both forced to flee from the human society in order to be free. During the journey down the Mississippi River, they reveal their kindness by nature and establishes a profound relationship, but their isolating “society” is constantly disturbed and suffering the wicked acts fro m the banks of the “civilization society”. Relying on their wisdom and courage, they obtain freedom in the end. By contrasting the two kinds of societies, Twain thoroughly disclosed the hypocrisy of freedom and democracy in American society of his age. On the other hand, he showed his admiration to the people, both whites and blacks, with the spirit of bravely fighting for freedom and integrity. The theme in this novel, indeed, is that all of men, whites or blacks, should live in a truly democratic country.Beneath that theme, Mark Twain also succeeds in portraying the Great Mississippi River which carries Huck and Jim to beautiful, but sometimes it is so violent ferocious and terrible. It seems to be anembodiment of some spirits.“Some critics, notab ly T. S. Eliot and Lionel Trilling, have gone so far as to see in the River a kind of symbolic deity, a power sufficient to itself. The River …is not ethical or good,‟ Trilling says, but it helps goodness grow in those people who make it an important element in their lives.”1While T. S. Eliot has a more profound understanding of the Mississippi River in this novel.“Eliot maintains that the River dominates the structural form of the novel. The River is used metaphorically, structurally and thematically. Huck sees the big River gliding by and is suffused with a sense of awe and majestic calm. All adventures begin and end on the River. Jim‟s freedom------the central point of the novel------involves a journey down the River.”In my opinion, the image of the Mississippi River is skillfully endowed with rich American national spirits and cultural connotations. In fact, Mark Twain uses the Mississippi River in this novel on purposes. And I think there are an objective factor. The former is that the Mississippi River has been contributing a lot to American History; and the latter, Twain‟s personal nostalgia for his boyhood and piloting days on the River.On the other hand, the name of the Mississippi has extended meaning. Inthe days before the Civil War, the River was the major channel of trade and communication in the whole country. In history, the Mississippi played a very important role in the lives of the aboriginal people settled on its banks. Another contribution to American History by the Mississippi should also be respected. The European explorers of the river appeared in 16 century. But their grasp on the Mississippi was never firm.The Mississippi River‟s unique contribution to American History is symbolically used in the novel of the Adventures of Huck Finn. There, Mark Twain makes the Mississippi as a symbol of an eternal God embodying the key spirits of American Nation. “…the great Mississippi, the majestic, the magnificent Mississippi, tolling its mile-wide tide along.” In Twain‟s heart, she l oves freedom and seeks for the true, the good and the beautiful. So she shows her maternal love and care to the people, who is kind and brave by nature and eager for freedom; but she hates evil and punishes them with her power. She even purifies the spirit of people, and create new birth by her transcendental gift.。

它发源于喜马拉雅山脉的西藏自治区，然后穿过喜马拉雅山脉的深渊峡谷，最终进入印度并与恒河汇合。

雅鲁藏布江是一个壮丽的河流，它的深渊部分比大峡谷还要深，河水湍急险峻，被誉为“地球之最”。

世界河流径流量排名，尼罗河没上榜

世界河流径流量排名，尼罗河没上榜河流自古以来就是人类生息繁衍的主要活动场所，河流孕育出了四大文明古国，是人类生命的源泉，文明的摇篮，因此黄河、长江才有“母亲河”的美誉。

河流的径流量（Runoff）是指单位时间里通过某河流横断面水的体积，多年平均径流量指多年径流量的算术平均值，以立方米/秒计。

径流量能直观地反映出河流的大小。

下面是世界十大径流量的河流。

十、奥里诺科河（1.4万立方米／秒）奥里诺科河（Orinoco River）是南美洲的重要河流，水量丰沛，支流众多，达436条，属南美洲四大水系之一。

奥里诺科河发源于委内瑞拉与巴西交界处，呈弧形绕行于圭亚那高原边缘，最后向东注入大西洋，全长2735千米，流域面积95万平方千米，河口平均流量达1.4万立方米/秒，最大流量3万立方米/秒。

流域范围包括委内瑞拉约4/5的地区和哥伦比亚1/4的地区。

整个河道约300千米的长度是委内瑞拉和哥伦比亚的国界界河，其余大部分都在委内瑞拉境内。

九、湄公河（1.5万立方米／秒）湄公河（Mekong River），发源于中国唐古拉山的东北坡，在中国境内叫澜沧江，流入中南半岛后的河段称为湄公河。

因由越南流出南海有9个出海口，故越南称之为九龙江。

湄公河全长4909千米，流域面积81.1万平方千米，是世界第七长河，东南亚第一大河，同时也是亚洲最重要的跨国水系，流经中国、老挝、缅甸、泰国、柬埔寨和越南。

河流沿岸的胡志明市、万象、金边三座大城市，均为越南、老挝、柬埔寨的最大城市，由此可见湄公河在中南半岛的重要作用。

湄公河平均流量每秒2140立方米，河口三角洲平均流量1.5万立方米／秒，虽然水量充沛，但随季节性变化很大，主干流又有不少激流及瀑布，造成湄公河的航运能力差，目前湄公河只有下游550千米可通航。

八、勒拿河（1.7万立方米／秒）勒拿河（Lena River）位于俄罗斯西伯利亚境内，发源于贝加尔湖西岸，流往北冰洋，全长4400千米，流域面积为249万平方千米，是世界第九长河。

the Mississippi River

马克吐温最闻名的是围绕密西西比河的著作，毕生最享盛名的三大著作：《哈克贝里费恩历险记》、《汤姆索亚历险记》和《在密西西比河上》。从诸上作品中，可以看到马克吐温与这条河流内在有着深深的联系。
The language feature: “Life on the Mississippi ” is mainly talking about sailor’s life, local color and writer’s personal experience give us the impressive expression. It described some arrogant sailors was sold by their poor grammar. On the one hand, those sailors talked about their noble background and good education with others confidently; on the other hand, their ridiculous language is not agree with what they said. This not only makes the readers laugh, also show a strong ironic meaning. 语言特色：《密西西比河上的生活》主要讲述关于水手生活的故事,地方特色和对作者亲身经历过的水手生活的真实描述而令人印象深刻。书中描写了一些自傲的水手却总被自己的贫乏的语法出卖。一方面，他们自信地与别人谈论他们的高贵出身和良好教育；另一方面，他们可笑的语言表达却与他们的说法不符。这不仅让读者开怀大笑,也表现出一种强烈地讽刺意味。

It's always a breathtaking sight to see these birds flying above the river.Furthermore, the Mississippi River is not onlybeautiful but also holds historical significance. It has been an important transportation route for centuries, allowing trade and commerce to flourish along its banks. Many cities and towns have developed around the river, and their culture and traditions are deeply intertwined withthe river's presence.

英语听力：密西西比河如何改道

英语听力：密西西比河如何改道Did you ever hear the saying, “it’s easier to get the Mississippi to change its course than get a stubborn child to change his mind”? I guess whoever made this one up didn’t know that the Mississippi actually does change its course about every thousand years or so.你是否听说过这句谚语：“让密西西比河改道比让固执的小孩改主意更容易。

”我猜编出这句谚语的人不知道密西西比河的确每隔一千年左右就会改一次道。

How could a river change its course? Actually, the whole process is due to silt. Every year, erosion from farm fields and building projects washes millions of tons of soil into streams and rivers. When these tributary streams and rivers empty into the Mississippi, the floating soil particles are carried along in the fast-moving water from the heart of the continent towards the delta, where the river meets the sea.河流怎么会改道呢?实际上，改道的全过程都是淤泥在起作用。

每年，农田和建筑工程因为侵蚀作用而将大量泥土冲入溪流和河水之中。

哪条河流是世界流程最长

哪条河流是世界流程最长哪条河流是世界流程最长全球上有很多各式各样的河流，那么大家知道流程最长的河流具体是哪一条吗？长度分别是多少公里，分布在那个国家地区？以下是店铺帮大家整理的哪条河流是世界流程最长，欢迎大家借鉴与参考，希望对大家有所帮助。

世界流程最长的河流：尼罗河尼罗河，非洲主河流之父，位于非洲东北部，是一条国际河流，全长6670公里，是世界上最长的河流。

与中非地区的刚果河以及西非地区的尼日尔河并列非洲最大的三个河流系统。

尼罗河发源于东非高原上的布隆迪高地，有两条主要的支流，白尼罗河和青尼罗河。

干流流经布隆迪、卢旺达、坦桑尼亚、乌干达、苏丹和埃及等国，最后注入地中海。

从古代开始埃及的文明就依靠尼罗河而形成和兴旺，几乎所有的古埃及遗址均位于尼罗河畔。

尼罗河在印第安人语言叫月亮的眼泪。

尼罗河的流域地貌尼罗河流域南起东非高原，北抵地中海岸，东倚埃塞俄比亚高原，并沿红海向西北延伸，西邻刚果盆地、乍得盆地并沿马腊山脉、大吉勒夫高原和利比亚沙漠向北延伸。

流域地貌可简单归结为：主要由结晶岩组成的东非高原和由熔岩构成的埃塞俄比亚高原分别踞于流域的南侧和东南侧；整个苏丹基本上是一个由南往北微缓倾斜的巨大构造盆地，尼罗河纵贯其间；喀土穆以下尼罗河东西两侧则为广阔的沙漠台地。

（1）上游段：河源至维多利亚湖出口的河源段具有明显的山地河流特征，维多利亚湖出口至尼穆莱，河床比降达1：1200，沿途有卡巴雷加瀑布。

该河段流经地区除了维多利亚湖、基奥加湖等裂谷间的高原浅水湖泊，还有沿西支裂谷发育的蒙博托湖、爱德华湖和乔治湖等断层湖泊。

（2）中游段：尼罗河流经广阔的苏丹粘土平原，地势平坦，比降极缓，马拉卡勒以上比降只有1：13900，沿途沼泽密布，河道分汊漫流。

从马拉卡勒至喀土穆，河床比降更趋平缓，仅1：100000。

（3）下游段：尼罗河下游河段可细分为，①喀土穆至阿斯旺的峡谷段，尼罗河切穿广袤的沙漠谷地，奔流而下，比降1：6000。
