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] We can learn from the passage that Peter Senior______.
选项 A、is a physician who is interested in painting
B、is an artist who has a large collection of pictures
C、is a pioneer who introduces art into hospitals
D、is a patient who is faithful in hospital art
答案 C
解析 第2题问我们可以从文章中了解到Peter Senior是个什么样的人。此题也是一道具体细节题。利用查阅式阅读法，我们可以在文章的第三段和第四段中找到与Peter Senior相关的信息。第三段指出，Peter Senior是一个艺术家，他在20世纪70年代初期就在英格兰东北部Manchester地区的一个医院里建立了他的画室。他为最近的将艺术汇集于医院从而改进医院的环境质量这一目的做出了很大的贡献。本题的正确答案应是C：他是一位将艺术带进医院的先驱。
