请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
A young woman spends her time helping people know more about saving the Yangtze River's "smiling angels". The Yangtze River is home to the endangered Yangtze finless porpoises(长江江豚). We know them as the "smiling angels" because of their special mouths that give them a smiling appearance.
However, there is little for the animal to smile about. There are only around 1,000 of the porpoises left. The government, scientists and volunteers are working hard to save them. Tan Ge is one of them.
Tan Ge was born in 1991. She grew up in Yueyang, a city beside Dongting Lake. The lake is linked to the Yangtze River. After learning about this important animal and the importance of protecting the animal, she joined a group of volunteers and started working to protect them.
As she worked with the volunteers, Tan Ge learned more about the animal. And she knew that perhaps a lot of people, like herself, had little knowledge of the animal. So, in 2018, she joined the association(协会) to save the animal.
Since then, she has tried her best to work for the animal. She has joined in over 350 field trips to fight against bad fishing. She saved not only finless porpoises, but also other wild species in the area.
51. Why are the Yangtze finless porpoises called "smiling angels"?

52. Where did Tan Ge grow up?

53. How old was Tan Ge when she joined the association?

54. What has Tan Ge done for the animal after joining the association?

55. 新考法 开放性试题 How do you think we should protect endangered animals?

56. reasons 57. an 58. excitement 59. Although/Though
60. in 61. to speak 62. visiting 63. better 64. has helped
65. its

【分析】
拿到这道语法填空题，首先第一步先通读全文，理清文章核心主题是英国学生参与中文培优夏令营、开展中英文化交流的相关内容，把握整体叙事逻辑。接下来逐空结合前后提示、固定语法规则、语境逻辑推导答案：遇到括号内给出提示词的空，先判断空格处需要的词性、词形变化规则；没有提示词的空，结合句子结构、固定搭配、逻辑关系判断要填的虚词，最后再把所有答案代入通读全文验证逻辑通顺即可。
【解析】
56. 考查固定结构：one of 后必须接可数名词复数，表示“……之一”，所以可数名词reason要变为复数形式reasons。
57. 考查不定冠词：此处表示“一次绝佳的机会”，表泛指，且excellent是以元音音素开头的单词，所以不定冠词用an。
58. 考查词性转换：介词with后面需要接名词作宾语，动词excite对应的名词形式是excitement，构成短语with excitement表示“兴奋地”。
59. 考查让步状语从句引导词：前后分句逻辑为“尽管我已经从课本学到很多关于中国的知识，我还是想要体验中国文化”，是让步关系，句首首字母大写，所以填Although/Though。
60. 考查固定短语：in person是固定搭配，含义为“亲自、亲身”，符合语境，所以填in。
61. 考查非谓语动词：固定搭配manage to do sth. 表示“设法成功做成某事”，所以填不定式to speak。
62. 考查非谓语动词：此处besides是介词，介词后接动词需要用动名词形式，所以visit变为visiting。
63. 考查形容词比较级：此处暗含和之前仅从课本了解中国的情况作对比，指学生们现在对中国文化有了更好的理解，所以good要变为比较级better。
64. 考查动词时态：时间状语so far（到目前为止）是现在完成时的典型标志，主语the programme是单数，所以谓语结构为has helped。
65. 考查代词：空格后有名词history，需要用形容词性物主代词修饰名词，人称代词it对应的形容词性物主代词是its。
【答案】
56. reasons 57. an 58. excitement 59. Although/Though 60. in 61. to speak 62. visiting 63. better 64. has helped 65. its
【知识点】
词形转换，固定短语，动词时态
