(2025·湖南怀化模拟)For people living with dementia(痴呆),a new program offers a supportive path to building social connections and reducing loneliness through music.Led by the Institute for Therapy through the Arts,Musical Bridges to Memory (MBM) is a 12week program designed to bridge relationships between people with dementia,their families,and the greater community that serve them through live musical interactions,training,and research in musicbased approaches.
MBM engages participants in weekly sessions,which include interactive performances and training in communication skills to improve caregivers' relationships with loved ones living with dementia.According to a 2022 study that examined MBM's impacts,this musicbased therapy(疗法) can increase social engagement between caregivers and their loved ones despite ongoing declines in cognitive(认知的) health.
Research shows people with dementia benefit from interventions that control their preserved cognitive and functional abilities.Music taps into our implicit memory(内隐记忆),linking us to past experiences and emotions without the need for conscious awareness.This is especially true for music that is personally meaningful to us,such as a favorite song,which can promote brain plasticity and cognition.
Neurologist Dr.Ronald Devere notes,“Musical understanding,musical emotion,and musical memory can survive long after other forms of memory and cognitive function have disappeared.” Even as cognition declines,music can help to promote connection and shared communication—making it an efficient tool to support people with dementia.
In addition to improving communication,MBM positively impacts mood and alleviates the caregiver's burden.Caregivers who participated in this program reported significant reductions in distress(痛苦) as a result of improved communication through music.In short,the program's positive health impacts extend beyond individuals with dementia to their families and loved ones because it facilitates communication and social connection,particularly in cases where verbal language is no longer possible.
These findings add to decades of research that demonstrates music can positively impact our health,and they provide further insights into the benefits of the MBM program to people with dementia and their caregivers.They also correspond with other communitybased interventions to use music to promote healing.

B
(2025·辽宁沈阳模拟)In a world of music streaming services,access to almost any song is just a few clicks away.Yet,the live concert lives on.People still fill sweaty basements to hear their favorite musicians play.And now neuroscientists might know why.
Concerts are immersive social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together.They are also dynamic—artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd's reaction.
It was this last difference that led neuroscientists,from Universities of Zurich and Oslo,to study the brain responses of people listening to music.In the experiment,participants lay in an MRI(核磁共振) scanner listening to the music through earphones,while a pianist was positioned outside the room.The pianist was shown the participant's realtime brain activity as a form of feedback.In the recorded condition,participants listened to prerecorded versions of the same tunes.
The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain that process emotions.In the live condition pianists were instructed to change their playing in order to drive the activity in one of these regions known as the amygdala.
The results,just published in the journal PNAS,showed that live music had far more emotional impact.Whether the music was happy or sad,listening to the pianist playing in a dynamic way generated more activity in both the amygdala and other parts of the brain's emotion processing network.
The study was far from reconstructing the real experience of a concert,and the authors noted that the live music ended up sounding quite different from the recorded tracks,which may have driven some of the differences in participant's brain activity.Some musical acts now attempt to recreate the real concert experience with everything but the artist—ABBA Voyage is a social,immersive show performed entirely by prerecorded hologram avatars(全息图).But without Benny's (a member of the band) ability to read the mood of the room,it will never quite match the real thing.
5.What caused the scientists to study music listeners' brain response?
A.People's preference to recorded music.
B.The important social function of concerts.
C.The changeable characteristic of live music.
D.The easy accessibility of streaming services.
6.How did the researchers carry out the experiment?
A.By clarifying a concept.
B.By making a comparison.
C.By analyzing previous data.
D.By referring to another study.
7.Why does live music feel better than recorded music?
A.It offers a more traditional and raw sound.
B.It engages the brain's emotion centers more.
C.It fosters a sense of community and shared energy.
D.It guarantees a deeper understanding of the music.
8.What do we know from the last paragraph?
A.The artists will be replaced by technology soon.
B.The immersive audio makes live music special.
C.The study recreated the experience of a real concert.
D.It is vital for musicians to read the audiences' mind.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了尽管有音乐流媒体服务,人们还是会观看现场演出,因为他们重视现场音乐带来的情感联系。
5.C [解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“They are also dynamic—artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd's reaction.”以及第三段中的“It was this last difference that led neuroscientists,from Universities of Zurich and Oslo,to study the brain responses of people listening to music.”可知,现场音乐多变的特点促使科学家们研究听众的大脑反应。
6.B [解析]细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In the experiment,participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones,while a pianist was positioned outside the room.The pianist was shown the participant's realtime brain activity as a form of feedback.”可知,研究人员通过比较进行实验。
7.B [解析]细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The results,just published in the journal PNAS,showed that live music had far more emotional impact.”可知,现场音乐比录制音乐感觉更好是因为它更能调动大脑的情感中心。
8.D [解析]细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“But without Benny's (a member of the band) ability to read the mood of the room,it will never quite match the real thing.”可知,对音乐家来说,读懂听众的心思是至关重要的。
