I like music. I think maybe most people like it as much as I do. I believe other people would have the same feeling towards music. For me, music can always make me feel happy and relaxed. Sometimes when I feel very depressed, or suffer setbacks, music can do its magic which helps me through the unpleasant mood. Music makes me feel quiet and peaceful. Furthermore, it has the power to revive my spirit. So I can imagine if there's no music in the world, how boring and colourless our world might be.
There are so many different styles of music, such as pop, classical, rock, heavy metal and so on. Maybe we all have different tastes and like different styles. Even though music gives us different effects in different conditions, one thing can be ensured for us that music can help us release the pressure when we feel nervous or reduce pressures on our shoulders. And it can depurate(净化) our heart. When we feel happy, we can listen to some music which makes us happier; if we feel sad and frustrated, we can choose the music which gives us power and makes us refreshed. If we are introverted people, we can listen to the music which makes us more outgoing.
Above all, I've stated so many effects of music. We have so many beautiful melodies in the world which could make our life more and more pleasant. So I think we should thank the people who create music, who use rhythms to express various feelings and things as we use articles and languages to express our thinking. So nice! They create the great music, while music makes our world even better. I love music forever!

三、
答案:happily; insects; as; are getting; because; responsible; eating; to save; who; will be punished
解析:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了青蛙是一种有益的动物。但是由于人类的捕杀,现在青蛙越来越少了,所以我们必须尽快采取措施来拯救青蛙。
①考查副词。修饰singing应用副词。故填happily。
②考查名词的数。句意:它们可以捕捉快速移动的昆虫。insect是可数名词,前面没有冠词,且根据句意可知,应使用复数形式。故填insects。
③考查介词。 be regarded as意为“被认为是……”,是固定搭配。故填as。
④考查时态。句意:但是现在青蛙越来越少了。根据语境可知,此处应使用现在进行时,表示现在或现在这一阶段正在进行的动作。故填are getting。
⑤考查连词。句意:这是因为它们被它们的主要敌人——人类杀死,并作为一道美味佳肴摆上餐桌了。This is because...这是因为……。
⑥考查形容词。分析句子结构可知,is后面应跟形容词做表语。be responsible for对……负责。
⑦考查动名词。介词of后应接动名词形式。故填eating。
⑧考查动词不定式。句意:为了拯救青蛙,必须刻不容缓地做些事情。此处用不定式表目的。故填to save。
⑨考查定语从句。分析句式可知此处为定语从句,先行词是those,指人,且关系词在从句中做主语,故用关系代词who引导。故填who。
⑩考查时态和语态。根据“If we don't punish...”可知,此处应用一般将来时,根据by可知此处应用被动语态。故填will be punished。
