decoration as it suggests a pleasant environment helps patients ease discomfort and pain.A team headed by Professor Marina de Tommaso at the Neurophysiopathology Pain Unit asked a group of men and women to pick the 20 paintings they considered most ugly and most beautiful from a selection of 300 works by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli.They were then asked to look at either the beautiful paintings，or the ugly paintings，or a blank panel while the team zapped(照射)a short laser pulse at their hand，creating a sensation as if they had been stuck by a pin.The subjects rated the pain as being a third less intense while they were viewing the beautiful paintings，compared with when looking at the ugly paintings or the blank panel.Electrodes measuring the brains electrical activity also confirmed a reduced response to the pain when the subject looked at beautiful paintings.While distractions，such as music，are known to reduce pain in hospital patients，Prof de Tommaso says this is the first result to show that beauty plays a part.The findings，reported in New Scientist，also go a long way to show that beautiful surroundings could aid the healing process.“Hospitals have been designed to be functional，but we think that their artistic aspects should be taken into account too，” said the neurologist.“Beauty obviously offers a distraction that ugly paintings do not.But at least there is no suggestion that ugly surroundings make the pain worse.I think these results show that more research is needed into the field how a beautiful environment can alleviate suffering.”Pictures they liked included Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh and Botticellis Birth of Venus.Pictures they found ugly included works by Pablo Picasso，the Italian 20th century artist Anonio Bueno and Columbian Fernando Botero.“These people were not art experts so some of the pictures they found ugly would be considered masterpieces by the art world，” said Prof de Tommaso.1The underlined word “alleviate” in the 5th paragraph probably means “_”Acure Bease Cimprove Dkill答案B词义猜测题。根据文章的第一段最后一句as it suggests a pleasant environment helps patients ease discomfort and pain可以得出本题的答案为ease(缓解，减轻)，而不是“治愈”“消灭”或“增加”。2How many artists have been mentioned in the passage?A4.
