from illness.as part of a nationwide effort in britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public place, some of the countrys 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 a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art and paintings, in the outpatients waiting area of the manchester royal hospital in 1975. believed to be britains first hospital artist, senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduations.the effect is striking. now in the corridors and waiting rooms, the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images and restful courtyard.the quality of the environment may reduce the need for expense 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 painkillers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.9. what does the author mean by using the phrase “to soften the hard edge of modern buildings”, in the second paragraph?a. to hold exhibitions of art and paintings in hospitals.b. to tear down the old hospital and build a new one.c. to decorate hospitals with art collection. d. to paint the walls of hospitals in soft colors.10. what is true about peter senior?a. a famous doctor in manchester hospital and a talented artist.b. britains first hospital artist and a patient in manchester royal hospital.c. one of the six young art school graduations.d. a talented artist and a pioneer introducing art into hospitals.11. what can we conclude from the fact that six young art school graduates joined peter?a. artists should take an active part in social activities.b. the role of hospital environment is being recognized.c. artists are more important to patients in hospitals.d. hospitals need more young art school graduates to attend the patients.12. what does the last paragraph suggest?a. the improvement of hospital environment may help the patients recover from illness.b. the improvement of hospital environment may cost the patients more than before.c. the patients needed no painkillers when they had a view of a painting.d. the patients had no pain at all after the improvement of hospital environment.【答案与解析】9. c 句意理解题。根据下文almost 100 now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms一句的意义“将近有一百家医院在走廊，候诊区和治疗室里挂有当代重要的艺术品”，可判断出其意义为“用艺术品装饰医院”。10. d 细节归纳题。根据第二段中的some of the countrys most talented artists have been called in和第四段中的believed to be britains first hospital artist可得知：peter senior是一个有才能的艺术家和最先将艺术引入医院的人11. b 逻辑推理题。根据“senior was so much in demand”一句可知，医院很需要senior这样的艺术家。说明人们逐渐认识到了医院环境对治疗的作用。12. a 段落主旨题。根据段落中的信息词语reduce the need for expense和patients who had a view onto a garden needed half the number of strong painkillers可知本段的主题是“医院治疗环境的改善有助于病人的康复”。完型填空。阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从以下题所给的a、b、c、d四个选项中，选出最佳选项。you may think there is only sand in the desert of the world,
