Ⅳ.语法填空
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了伤感的音乐对人们的影响。伤感的音乐能使人振奋，而且在大多数情况下，它比快乐的音乐更有效。
1．答案与解析：themselves 考查代词。设空处作make的宾语，指代主语Peple，当宾语跟主语是同一个对象时，宾语应用反身代词。故填themselves。
2．答案与解析：simply 考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词。故填simply。
3．答案与解析：lifting 考查非谓语动词。设空处应用非谓语动词作结果状语，lift与句子主语为逻辑上的主谓关系，且表示自然而然的结果，应用现在分词。thus为副词，意为“这样”。故填lifting。

8．答案与解析：that 考查定语从句引导词。设空处引导定语从句，music是先行词，从句缺少主语，且先行词由the very修饰，所以应用关系代词that，不可以用which。故填that。
9．答案与解析：shared 考查非谓语动词。句意为：随着他们的情绪得以分享，他们肯定会得到一定程度的安慰。此处是“with＋宾语＋宾补”结构，emtins和share之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应用过去分词形式，故填shared。
10．答案与解析：wrks 考查动词时态。wrk是谓语动词，与主语it之间是主动关系，逗号前的分句使用一般现在时，所以此处也应用一般现在时。故填wrks。
