问题     The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in the process of recovery from illness.
    As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, some of the country’s most talented artists have been called in to transform older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2 500 National Health Service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms.
    These recent initiatives owe a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience.
    A typical hospital waiting room might have as many as 5 000 visitors each week. What better place to hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients’ waiting area of the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 1975. Believed to be Britain’s first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.
    The effects are striking. Instead of the familiar long, barren corridors and stark waiting rooms, the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colours, playful images and restful courtyards.
    The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view on to a garden needed half the number of strong painkillers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.
Questions: [br] The fact that six young art school graduates joined Peter shows that______.
选项 A、Peter’s enterprise is developing very rapidly
B、Peter Senior gains much more popularity
C、the six young men are talented hospital artists
D、the quality of hospital environment is being noticed
答案 D
解析 第5题问有六个年轻的艺术院校毕业生也加入了Petter的工作表明了什么。此题仍然属于具体细节题，利用查阅式阅读法，我们可以在第四段中找到相关信息。这一段指出，由于医院一般每周可能接待多达5 000人候诊，还有什么地方会比这更适合举办定期的艺术展呢?于是1975年Peter Senior就在曼彻斯特皇家医务所的门诊病人候诊区举办了他的第一次个人画展。Senior被认为是英国的第一位医院艺术家，人们非常需要他，于是很快就有了六个年轻的艺术院校毕业生也加入了他的工作。言外之意，人们越来越注意到了医院环境质量的重要性。因此，本题的正确答案应是D。而且此答案所表述的内容刚好与文章第一段提出文章主题的句子相一致。
