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:
After the improvement of the hospital environment, what happened according to the passage?
选项 A、Patients no longer needed drugs in their recovery.
B、Patients were not wholly dependent on expensive medicine.
C、Patients needed good-quality drugs in their recovery.
D、Patients used fewer pain killers in their recovery.
答案B
解析 第4题问按文章所说医院环境改善后发生了什么事。此题的正确答案与文章的第五段有关，第五段第一句话就指出，效果令人震惊。就诊者看到的不再是熟悉的长长的空空的走廊，无装饰的候诊室，出现在他们面前的是满眼的鲜亮的色彩、活泼的形象和恬静的庭院。另外，文章第六段也指出，当病人处于恢复期时，环境的高质量还可能减少昂贵的药物用量。一项研究表明那些能看到花园景色的病人所用的强效止痛药的药量是那些根本无风景可看或只能看着一堵砖墙的病人所用的药量的一半。由此，我们可以推断出此题的正确答案应是B：病人可以不全依赖昂贵的药物了。
