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 500 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 Hospital 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 effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, 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 onto a garden needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at. [br] According to Peter Senior,______.

选项 A、art is losing its audience in modern society
B、art galleries should be changed into hospitals
C、patients should be encouraged to learn painting
D、art should be encouraged in British hospitals

答案 D

解析 推断题。本题考查的是对文章内容的推断。文中虽然提到“He felt the artisthad lost his place in modern society,and that art should be enjoyed by a wideraudience.”艺术家在现代社会中失去了地位,但是他认为更广大的观众应该欣赏到艺术,故艺术并没有失去观众,A错误;B和C没有提及;D更符合文章意思,Peter之所以把艺术引进医院就是在鼓励艺术应该进入医院。
