解析

【分析】
语篇填空需结合语境、固定搭配及语法知识(时态、词性、冠词等)解题。逐空思路:1. 依据固定搭配have love for...填介词;2. 根据时间状语for over 50 years确定现在完成时;3. 由once表过去动作确定一般过去时;4. 修饰动词用副词转换;5. 主语复数对应表语名词复数;6. 否定句并列用or;7. 修饰名词用形容词性物主代词;8. 泛指单数可数名词用不定冠词a;9. 固定搭配keep doing;10. 冠词后用名词转换。
【解析】
1. 考查固定搭配:have love for...意为“对……的热爱”,是固定用法,故填for。
2. 考查动词时态:时间状语“For over 50 years”表示动作从过去持续到现在,应用现在完成时,主语Li为第三人称单数,故填has studied/has been studying。
3. 考查动词时态:时间状语“Once”表示过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时,fall的过去式为fell,故填fell。
4. 考查词性转换:此处修饰动词made,需用副词,final的副词形式是finally,故填finally。
5. 考查名词单复数:主语birds为复数,表语需用名词复数,messenger的复数是messengers,故填messengers。
6. 考查连词:否定句中,并列成分用or连接,表“也不”,故填or。
7. 考查代词:此处修饰名词interest,需用形容词性物主代词,they的形容词性物主代词是their,故填their。
8. 考查冠词:此处泛指“一种对自然的热情”,passion是可数名词单数,且以辅音音素开头,故填a。
9. 考查固定搭配:keep doing sth意为“一直做某事”,是固定用法,故填exploring。
10. 考查词性转换:前面有不定冠词a和形容词great,需用名词,discover的名词形式是discovery,故填discovery。
【答案】
1. for 2. has studied/has been studying 3. fell 4. finally 5. messengers 6. or 7. their 8. a 9. exploring 10. discovery
【知识点】
固定搭配、动词时态、词性转换
