　　江西省2017届高三英语二轮专项训练：阅读表达+写作（8）

　　第一节

　　阅读表达

　　阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题。（请注意问题后的字数要求）

　　_______________. 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 which 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.

　　第二节

　　One possible version:

　　Dear Sir，

　　As a senior high school student, whenever I go to school, or come back from school, I can see some people breaking traffic rules. For example, some pedestrians often go through the red traffic light, and some people don't cross the street at the pedestrian crossing. What's worse, some cars exceed the speed limit on busy streets if there are no police working there. Some even park their cars at will.

　　In my view, it is the duty of every citizen to obey the traffic rules for the sake of your and others' safety. We mustn't neglect the fact that a large number of people are injured or die in traffic accidents every year. I suggest we have more policemen or assistants working at the crossroads and on the busy streets. Whoever breaks the rules should be fined and punished. Only in this way will everyone follow the rules and can we have a better traffic environment.

　　Yours，

　　Li Ming
