分析 本文为社会文化类说明文，文章介绍了随着时间的推移人们对"健康"的不同理解．健康一直是人们重视的话题，但是随着科研的进步对健康的理解也在加深．过去认为只要没有病就是健康，但是现在健康与高质量的生活相关．这种改变的一个原因是与人们寿命增长和生活条件改善相关．

解答 26．C．细节理解题．由第一段中的第二句"People's understanding of health also becomes deeper with the progress in scientific research．（随着科研的进展人们对健康的了解加深）"判断答案选择C．
27．D．推断题．由第一段中的"It no longer means just the absence of illness．（健康不再仅仅意味着没有疾病）"推断，过去没有病就是健康，故答案选择D．
28．B．细节理解题．从第一段中Quality of life is the degree of overall satisfaction that a person gets from life．可知对于现代人们而言健康不仅仅意味着不生病，而是意味着一个人的生活质量、也就是对生活整体的满足程度，选B．
29．D． 推段题．文章强调现在健康指的是高品质的生活，并且文章最后一段提到，Medical advances have made it possible for people today to live  longer，healthier lives．可知现在的生活更健康；再由下文"Imagine for a moment that you were born in the year 1900．You could have expected on average to live until about the age of 47．In contrast，if you were born in the year 1999，you could expect to live to the age of 75．"两个不同年代的比较可知在20世纪，人类的生活有了很大的提高．故D正确．
