29、very from illness. As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the galleries and into public places, 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 ho
30、spitals in Britain, almost 100 now have significant collections of contemporary art in corridors, waiting areas and treatment rooms. These recent initiatives own a great deal to one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in north - eastern England during the early 1970s
31、. 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 i
32、n the out - patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Infirmary 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 graduates. The effect is striking. Instead of the familiar long, barren corridors and sta
33、rk waiting rooms, the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, 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
34、 the number of strong painkillers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at. 46 Compared with the total number of Britains National Health Service hospitals, the hospitals which have art collections is only _. （ A） 4% （ B） 5% （ C） one quarter （ D） 75% 47 What can
35、we say of Peter Senior? （ A） He is a doctor interested in painting. （ B） He is an artist who has a large collection of paintings. （ C） He is a pioneer in introducing art into hospitals. （ D） He is a faithful follower of hospital art. 48 According to Peter Senior, _. （ A） art should be encouraged in

It i
39、s also the variety which is normally spoken by educated people and used in news broadcasts and other similar situations. The difference between standard and non - standard, it should be noted, had nothing in principle to do with differences between formal and colloquial language, Standard English ha
40、s colloquial as well as formal variants. Historically, the standard variety of English is based on the London dialect of English that developed after the Norman conquest resulted in the removal of the Court from Winchester to London. This dialect became the one preferred by the educated, and it was
41、developed and promoted as a model, or a norm, for wider and wider segments of society. It was also the norm that was carried overseas, but not one unaffected by such export. Today, standard English is codified to the extent that the grammar and vocabulary of English are much the same everywhere in t
42、he world where English is used: variation among local standards is really quite minor, so that the Singapore, south Africa, and Irish varieties are really very little different from one another so far as grammar and vocabulary are concerned. Indeed, Standard English is so powerful that it exerts a t
43、remendous pressure on all local varieties, to the extent that many of the long - established dialects of England have lost much of their vigor and there is considerable pressure on them to converge toward the standard. This latter situation is not unique to English: it is also true in other countrie
44、s where processes of standardization are under way. But it sometimes creates problems for speakers who try to strike some kind of compromise between local norms and national, even supranational ones. 51 Which of the following statements is true according to this passage? （ A） Standard English is bet
45、ter than non -standard English. （ B） Standard English does not differ from non - standard English in principle. （ C） Standard English can be both formal and colloquial. （ D） Non- standard English is the same as colloquial English. 52 Which of the statements in NOT true about the origin of standard E
46、nglish? （ A） Standard English is based on tile London dialect of English. （ B） Standard English is based on the Winchester dialect of English. （ C） Standard English developed after the Norman conquest. （ D） Standard English had come into being since the second half of the 11th century. 53 Which of t
47、he following factors did not contribute to the London dialect becoming standard English? （ A） The court moved from Winchester to London. （ B） The dialect was used by educated people. （ C） The dialect remained unaffected by foreign trade. （ D） The dialect was gradually spoken by more and more people.
