一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分）1. (错误) People have been talking about health for a long time because people know theimportance of it. People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress inscientific research. Recently the term "health" has come to have a wider meaning than it usedto. It no longer means just the absence of illness. Today, health means the well-being of yourbody, your mind and your relationship with other people. This new concept of health is closelyrelated to another term----quality of life. Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life.Why has the emphasis of health shifted from the absence of disease to a broader focus on the quality of a person's life？One reason for this has to do with the length and conditions of life that people can now expect. Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live longer, healthier lives. Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900. You could haveexpected on average to live until about the age of 47. In contrast, if you were born in the year1999, you could expect to live to the age of 75.1. ______leads to people's deeper understanding of health.A. Common knowledgeB. Progress in scientific researchC. Better conditions of livingD. Quality of life2. According to the passage, to people of today, health means______.A. absence of illnessB. a long lifeC. good conditions of livingD. overall satisfaction with life3. The emphasis of health has shifted nowadays because_____.A. people enjoy better conditions of living and they can live longerB. people pay more attention to their physical health, not their mental healthC. people have realized the importance of mental well-beingD. people are inspired by medical advances4. We can infer from the passage______.A. nowadays the emphasis of health has a broader focus because ofimprovements in the quality of foodB. the overall quality of people's lives improved greatly in the 20th centuryC. those who never fall ill are the truly healthy peopleD. those who were born before 1900 could not have lived until now5. This passage is mainly about____.A. different understandings of the term "health"B. improving the quality of lifeC. the importance of quality livingD. people's expectations of a long and healthy life试题分值：25.0得分：[0, 5, 5, 5, 5]提示：[1]B.细节题。

He served ice cream for dessert at a banquet. The surprise dish was a greatsuccess. The king ordered his cook to keep the recipe for ice cream a secret.
