问题  
America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older.[19]Today, 10 out of every 100 American’s are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine and business.
    Quietly, the greying of America has made us a very different society —one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behaviour is suitable at various ages.[20]A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/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’m much younger than my mother or my father was at my age." No one says "Act your age" anymore. We’ve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.
19. What is the percentage of people above 65 in America today?
20. What effect does the greying of America have on its society according to the passage?
21. What does the passage imply?

选项 A、The birthrate is on the decrease recently in America.
B、Age is no longer an indication of one’s marriage.
C、The society demands more and more nowadays.
D、The aging of population causes many social problems.

答案B

解析 细节题。文中提到,人口老龄化对美国的社会产生了很大的影响,他们对年龄的看法也发生了很大的变化,一个人的年龄不再透露出他或她的社会地位(socialposition)、婚姻状况(marriage)或是健康状况(health),故答案为B)。
