【答案解析】[解析] life form：生命形式；life origin：生命起源；life expectancy：预期寿命；life story：生平。由于空白处后面有middle-aged and older people限制，不可能选择life form或life origin。“被改善的”也不可能是story。再考虑第二句中的quality of life，选择expectancy最为合理。
单选题
A. easy
B. prone
C. immune
D. possible
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】[解析] 首先从语法上可排除easy和possible，(1)是因为：sb. is easy to do sth.是典型的错句，(2)是因为空白处后面的to是介词。be immune to的含义是“对……有免疫力”或“可免遭”，但在本文中与前面句子的意义矛盾，而be prone to的意义是“有……倾向”或“容易”。
