[2025·湖北高一期末联考]
As an important part of our everyday lives, music is increasingly being used in medical treatment. Besides proving very useful in cancer treatment, managing long-term pain and even helping the brain recover after a stroke, researchers have been making great progress in using music to help patients with dementia (失智症). It reduces patients’ anxiety or stress, lifts their spirits, and improves their performance at work.
So why does music appear to have such a powerful effect on people with dementia About ten years ago, researchers discovered that when people listened to music, many areas of the brain took part in processing it. Research has also shown music might help the brain and its connections grow strong again. It is believed that music could help people with dementia by fixing or strengthening damaged neural (神经的) connections and cells.
It’s not just any music that has a great effect on the brain, though. Familiar and favourite music has been shown to have the biggest influence on the way we feel, and is closely connected with memory and emotions. This is because listening to our favourite songs helps to produce feel-good hormones (激素) that give us a sense of pleasure. During and after listening to favourite music, people with dementia experienced less pain and anxiety, and their general feelings improved.
Other researchers have even begun testing the effects of music training programmes to support cognition (认知) for people with dementia. Results have been promising so far, with adults in the study showing improved conditions, compared to those who took part in just physical exercise.
So, music is likely to continue to be a useful medical treatment for people with dementia. But based on what we know so far, it’s important that it comes from the patient’s own music collection and is used together with other medical treatments such as taking medicine.
( )1.How does the author introduce the topic of the passage
A.By presenting facts.
B.By raising questions.
C.By explaining reasons.
D.By giving predictions.
( )2.What may familiar and favourite music contribute to people with dementia
A.It reduces emotional stress.
B.It advances creative thinking.
C.It enriches work experience.
D.It develops learning strategies.
( )3.What does the underlined word “promising” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Changeable.
B.Confusing.
C.Hopeful.
D.Normal.
( )4.Where is the text most probably taken from
A.A course plan.
B.An art brochure.
C.A medical textbook.
D.A science magazine.

［2025·湖北高一期末联考］
As an important part of our everyday lives, music is
increasingly being used in medical treatment. Besides proving
very useful in cancer treatment, managing long-term pain and
even helping the brain recover after a stroke, researchers have
been making great progress in using music to help patients
with dementia (失智症). It reduces patients' anxiety or stress, lifts
their spirits, and improves their performance at work.

So why does music appear to have such a powerful effect
on people with dementia About ten years ago, researchers
discovered that when people listened to music, many areas of
the brain took part in processing it. Research has also shown
music might help the brain and its connections grow strong
again. It is believed that music could help people with dementia
by fixing or strengthening damaged neural (神经的) connections
and cells.
1

It's not just any music that has a great effect on the brain,
though. Familiar and favourite music has been shown to have
the biggest influence on the way we feel, and is closely
connected with memory and emotions. This is because listening
to our favourite songs helps to produce feel-good hormones
(激素) that give us a sense of pleasure. During and after
listening to favourite music, people with dementia experienced
less pain and anxiety, and their general feelings improved.
1

4
Other researchers have even begun testing the effects of
music training programmes to support cognition (认知) for
people with dementia. Results have been promising so far, with
adults in the study showing improved conditions, compared to
those who took part in just physical exercise.
So, music is likely to continue to be a useful medical
treatment for people with dementia. But based on what we
know so far, it's important that it comes from the patient's own
music collection and is used together with other medical
treatments such as taking medicine.
