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] According to Peter Senior, which of the following is true?
选项 A、Art should be encouraged in British hospitals.
B、Art is losing its audience in modern society.
C、Art galleries should be changed into hospitals.
D、Art should be spread to the patients in hospitals.
答案 B
解析 第3题问按照Peter Senior的观点下面哪一句是正确的。本题阅读时仍采用查阅式阅读，再结合使用意群式和浏览式阅读，仔细分析一下文章第三段最后一句和第四段的内容，我们即可以得出本题的正确答案B：在现代社会里，艺术正在失去观众。因为文章第三段最后一句话指出，Peter Senior觉得在现代社会里，艺术家失去了自己的位置，而艺术应该为更广泛的观众所欣赏。
