　　Music Used As Healing Therapy

　　1 Music has long been used to treat patients suffering from different problems. In 400 BC, its healing properties were documented by the ancient Greeks. More recently, in both world wars in the last century, medical workers used music therapy (療法)with people suffering from trauma (外傷).Currently, it is used as a treatment for many diseases, such as cancer, and it has also been used with patients with long-term pain and learning disabilities.

　　2 There is growing evidence that music can cause physical changes to the body which can improve our health. In the Welcome Trust study, which took place over three years at the Chelsea and Westminster hospital in London, patients were asked to listen to musical performances. As a result, it was found that stress levels were significantly reduced, recovery times were improved, and fewer drugs were needed.

　　3 These very positive results are partly due to general well-being (良好的健康狀況). It is already accepted that when people feel happy and have a positive approach to life, they are more likely to feel better and recover from disease quickly. Music increases this feeling of joy and adds to the recovery process.

　　4 However, not all these benefits can be attributed to an increase in general well-being. Music has other effects which have not yet been understood. According to Professor Robertson, a scientist and musician, some effects of music are mysterious and are, therefore, being investigated further, it has been suggested that the sounds and rhythms of music help stimulate the brain and send electrical messages to the muscles.

　　5 Science, however, demands facts and hard evidence. Many in the medical profession have not yet recognized the healing benefits of music, since reports have been based mainly on various stories of evidence. These new studies could provide proof to doctors that music is a suitable treatment for many conditions. One day doctors may even "prescribe"(開處方)music, but that could be a long time in the future.

　　答案及解析：

　　23 D 文章第一段第一句介紹長時間以來，音樂被用來治療各種疾病的病人。第二句話介紹在公元前400年，據(jù)古希臘人記載，音樂具有醫(yī)療性能。第三句話介紹20世紀(jì)兩次世界大戰(zhàn)中醫(yī)療工作者用音樂療法治療有外傷的病人。第四句話介紹目前音樂被用來治療許多疾病，比如癌癥，以及患有長期病痛和學(xué)習(xí)障礙的人。由此可以看出，本段是在介紹音樂治療的歷史，所以答案為D。

　　24 B 本段中，第一句話先介紹越來越多的證據(jù)表明音樂能夠引起身體變化來提高健康水平。第二、三句話介紹了一項(xiàng)在醫(yī)院進(jìn)行的長達(dá)3年的研究表明，被要求欣賞音樂的病人的壓力狀況明顯減輕，康復(fù)次數(shù)提高，所需藥物減少。由此看出，本段主要介紹音樂引起的積極的身體變化，因此答案為B。

　　25 A 本段中，作者第一句提到了這些積極的結(jié)果部分是由于良好的健康狀況。第二、三句中，作者提到當(dāng)人們感到高興有積極的生活態(tài)度時，他們更可能感覺好受一些并快速從疾病中恢復(fù)，音樂就能增加這種愉悅感并加快恢復(fù)進(jìn)程。由此可知，本段主要介紹良好的身體狀態(tài)的提升，因此答案為A。

　　26 E 本段中，作者第一句提到這些治療結(jié)果并不都是受益于身體狀態(tài)的提升，音樂還有其他沒被理解的效果。第二、三句作者介紹一位科學(xué)家兼音樂家Robertson教授說音樂的一些效果是神秘的，因此正在被進(jìn)一步研究。有人說音樂的聲音和韻律幫助刺激大腦并且向肌肉傳遞電信號。由此可知，本段介紹的是音樂其他神秘的效果，因此答案為E。

　　27 B 文章第二段第二、三句話提到病人被要求欣賞音樂表演，結(jié)果他們的壓力水平顯著降低，所以答案為B，“聽演奏會”。

　　28 E 文中第三段第一句話提到這些積極的治療結(jié)果部分是由于良好的健康狀況，所以答案是E，“它提升了健康狀況”。

　　29 C 文中第三段第二句話提到當(dāng)人們感到高興以及對生活抱有積極的態(tài)度時，他們更可能感覺好一些并快速地從疾病中恢復(fù)，所以答案是C，“很快從病中恢復(fù)”。

　　30 A 文中第五段第二句話提到許多醫(yī)學(xué)界的老師不承認(rèn)音樂的治療效果，因?yàn)閳?bào)告只是基于對不同的證據(jù)事件的描述，所以答案為A，“沒有足夠確鑿的證據(jù)”。
