22、 Many people find that music lifts their spirits. Now a new research shows that music therapy (疗法) can be a useful treatment for depression.
The finding that music therapy offers a real medical benefit to depression sufferers comes from a review by the Cochrane Collaboration, a non-profit group that reviews health care issues. Some studies looked at the effects of providing music therapy to patients who were receiving drug treatment for depression. Others compared music therapy to traditional talk therapy. In four out of five of the trials, music therapy worked better at easing depression symptoms than therapies that did not employ music, the researchers found.
“While the evidence came from a few small studies, it suggests that this is an area that is well worth further investigation.” said lead author Anna Maratos. Ms. Maratos notes that music therapy might be particularly useful for adolescents who may reject a traditional form of counseling. Some older patients also may not be comfortable talking about their feelings but do tend to express themselves through songs.
There are two main types of music therapy. Sometimes, a therapist will listen to music with a patient and talk about the feelings or memories that it arouses. In another form, the therapist is a skilled musician and will improvise (即兴创作) music with the patient. If the patient doesn’t play an instrument, he or she might be given a simple percussion (击打) instrument and the therapist will play along.
Other studies have shown a benefit from music therapy in the treatment for dementia, learning disabilities, strokes and pain management during labor and birth. The problem is that there isn’t very much high-quality research. “It doesn’t easily attract serious research funding. It’s difficult to do high-quality, large-scale trials.” said Ms. Maratos.
【1】Which of the following treatments is NOT mentioned in the research?
A.Drug treatment. B.Talk therapy. C.Music therapy. D.Play therapy.
【2】What’s the attitude of Anna Maratos to music therapy?
A.Positive. B.Negative. C.Indifferent. D.Neutral.
【3】According to the passage, music therapy might not be beneficial to a patient of _______.
A.depression B.learning disabilities C.heart attack D.strokes
【4】We can learn from the passage _______.
A.a middle-aged patient won’t benefit from music therapy
B.patients using music therapy must be able to play an instrument
C.only patients suffering from depression benefit from music therapy
D.high-quality research on the effects of music therapy is limited by funding
23、The scars that Pat Pribble carried through life were formed nearly 50 years ago, caused by fellow students, who picked on him because he was different.
Pat’s parents had held him back in the fourth grade, so he ended up in the same class as his younger brother, Leo. Forever the oldest kid in the class, Pat tried to fit in. But he was always just not good enough for this; just not smart enough for that. Pat Pribble was a target. Now 65, he lives in a studio apartment with his dog, getting by on Social Security. From a distance, with his long gray hair and beard, Pat appears tough, the kind of man you might cross the street to avoid.
Last November, as Carey, one of the classmates, planned for the 45th reunion-postponed a year because of the pandemic-he decided to personally invite Pat, who had never been there before. “Even after all these years,” Carey says, “the mind remembers a voice. It was Pat.” With a bit of research, he called Pat and learned that Pat had been putting money aside each week to buy a bus ticket to visit Leo since he had terminal brain cancer with only months to live.
“Never underestimate people,” said Leo in his last moment of life. “We’re all different now than when we were kids.” His former classmates have kept their promise that after he was gone, they wouldn’t lose track of Pat. And they just did. Every week, one or more of them call Pat to see how he’s doing and even send him some “walking around money”.
Healing wounds from the past has allowed Pat to look to the future. “I’ll be at the next reunion,” he says. “These guys . . .” He pauses, stifling tears. “Let’s just say that everyone needs people like these guys in their lives.”
【1】What do we know about Pat Pribble from the first two paragraphs?
A．A man who wore scars both mentally and physically.
B．A boy who was unique and welcomed in school.
C．A person who had no awareness of cleanness.
D．A student who felt lower and unconfident.
【2】Why does Carey intend to invite Pat to the 45th reunion?
A．To show off his present happy life.
B．To let more people participate in the reunion.
C．To relieve his guilt towards Pat in school days.
D．To call on his classmates to donate money to Pat.
【3】What message does the story seem to convey?
A．Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder.
B．Life is a process of personal growth.
C．Never judge a person by his appearance.
D．Scars can eventually be cured completely.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A．With Open Arms, at Last
B．In Different Ways, in Fact
C．Being Unforgettable, School Life
D．Looking to the Future, These Guys
24、Have you ever imagined that your simple T-shirt could cool you down by up to 5℃ on hot summer days? Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. The amazing invention aims to offer real relief for people eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.
Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, took a completely innovative approach. They designed a special textile(纺织物)that can absorb body heat and re-emit(重发出)its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation (MIR))This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique known as radiative cooling. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a mirror.
Research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3℃, but this previous trial was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking, and not directly facing the sky, like in their trials.They also need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are not in close contact with the skin.
Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers and clothing brands that are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent.“We can make it with mass production which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is basically the same as their old stuff,” Yaoguang said.
So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patient because your days of feeling hot and bothered may be coming to an end!
【1】What is the purpose of the new invention?
A．To adjust the wearers’ temperature.
B．To change people's body temperature.
C．To cool people off in the hot weather
D．To protect clothes from becoming wet
【2】How does the special product work?
A．By sending out absorbed heat.
B．By turning sunlight into energy
C．By keeping heat out completely
D．By using light colors to reflect sunlight
【3】What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us?
A．The invention needs further testing.
B．The previous studies lack evidence
C．The new fabric has a good cooling effect.
D．The new fabric applies to various situations
【4】What's your comment on the invention of the T-shirt?.
A．Barking up the wrong tree.
B．Robbing Peter to pay Paul.
C．Putting the cart before the horse.
D．Killing two birds with one stone
