Ⅰ. 阅读理解
Hospitals employ many therapeutic (治疗的) methods, such as medication (药物治疗), massage (按摩) therapy and music therapy. And music therapy is growing in popularity.
Sandra Siedliecki is a Senior Scientist at the Nursing Institute of Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. She says music is a low-cost treatment. And she says scientists have done a lot of research on music’s effect on pain. Dr. Marian Good did a lot of studies looking at surgery (外科) patients and the use of music. In her studies, patients just listened to relaxing music. Dr. Good found that her surgery patients took fewer painkillers after they listened to music. Music had a good effect on short-term pain. However, chronic pain, the kind that recurs (复发) continually, changed a little under the effect of music.
Dr. Linda Chlan was studying something different. She was not interested in patients’ pain, but instead, their anxiety. She spent a lot of time with people who were in the hospital because their anxiety was so great that they couldn’t breathe. People with this condition often have to use breathing machines. Dr. Chlan said that the machines sometimes did little to improve their condition. Sometimes they even made things worse. The patients would become more anxious. Dr. Chlan let nurses tell patients that music was a good choice to make them feel better. They also placed signs near the patients’ beds—Listen to your music at least twice a day. The people who listened to music had a reduction (减少) in the amount of medication they received. In addition, their anxiety reduced by about 36 percent.
Both doctors had similar explanations for why music was so helpful. Music can be a very powerful distracter (干扰) in the brain when we’re listening to music that is pleasing and then it interrupts stressful thoughts.
【文章大意】音乐疗法在许多医院越来越流行。研究表明, 令人感到轻松愉快的音乐可以干扰人的大脑, 由此减少痛感、减轻压力。

A. can help patients recover fast

【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据文章第二段的内容可知, 音乐疗法对于短期疼痛疗效显著, 但是对于慢性疼痛则收效甚微, 即音乐疗法并不适用于所有的病人。
2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

B. Patients will forget their illnesses completely while listening to music.
C. Patients with great anxiety would not recover after taking medicine.

4. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A. To show that music therapy is useful.
B. To encourage all patients to listen to music.
