问题     Investment in the public sector, such as electricity, irrigation, public services and transport(excluding vehicles, ships and planes)increased by about 10%, although the emphasis moved to the transport and away from the other sectors mentioned. Trade and services recorded a 16% to 17% investment growth, including a 30% increase in investment in business premises. Industrial investment is estimated to have risen by 8% . Although the share of agriculture in total gross investment in the economy continued to decline, investment grew by 9% in absolute terms, largely spurred on by a 23% expansion of investment in agricultural equipment. Housing construction had 12% more invested in it in 1964, not so much owing to increased demand, as to fears of new taxes and limitation of building.
    Total consumption in real terms rose by close on 11% during 1964, and per capital personal consumption by under 7%, as in 1963. The undesirable trend towards a rapid rise in consumption, evident in previous years, remained unaltered. Since at current prices consumption rose by 16% and disposable income by 13%, there was evidently a fall in the rate of saving in the private sector of the economy. Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living. Expenditure on food declined in significance, although consumption of fruit increased. Spending on furniture and household equipment, health, education and recreation continued to increase. The greatest proof of altered living standards was the rapid expansion of expenditure on transport(including private cars)and personal services of all kinds, which occurred during 1964. The progressive wealth of large sectors of the public was demonstrated by the changing composition of durable goods purchased. Saturation(饱和)point was rapidly being approached for items such as the first household radio, gas cookers, and electric refrigerators, whereas increasing purchases of automobiles and television sets were registered.
It can be inferred from the increase of fruit consumption that______.
选项 A、people had to spend more on transportation and furniture
B、people were more health conscious
C、people were more money conscious
D、the price of fruit dropped dramatically
答案B
解析 文章在第二段中提到“Once again consumption patterns indicated a swift advance in the standard of living．Expenditure on food declined in significance，although consumption of fruit increased．”消费模式再一次显示：生活水平迅速提高了。然后接着对有关的消费模式做了阐述：水果的消费量增长了，但是食品的花费却下降了。后面又提到家具、家用设备、保健、教育及娱乐消费增加了。可见，作者认为上述消费模式证明了人们生活水平的提高。那么水果的消费量增加也能说明人们更注重生活健康，注重生活水平的提高。B项是人们注重生活质量的表现，符合题意。所以本题的正确答案为B。
