【分析】
这道短文填空分为A、B、C三个模块，解题思路可以分三步推进：
1. A部分是汉语提示写单词：先通读对应句子，判断空格所需的词性，再结合括号给出的汉语提示，同时匹配句子的语法规则（比如助动词后接动词原形、系动词后接形容词等），写出正确的单词形式。
2. B部分是适当形式填空：先分析句子的固定搭配、时态、主谓一致、词性修饰规则等语法考点，再对括号内给出的单词进行正确的形式变形，部分无提示空结合固定短语和句子逻辑补全。
3. C部分是首字母提示填空：先通读完整段落，理解“动物园线上领养动物”的核心主题，结合上下文语境、固定搭配和给出的首字母提示，推断出符合语义和语法的正确单词。
【解析】
A) 汉语提示填空：
36. 空格前有助动词don't，后面需要接动词原形，“允许”对应的英文单词是allow，故填allow。
37. 空格前的stay是系动词，后面需要接形容词作表语，“睡着的”对应的英文是asleep，stay asleep表示“保持睡着的状态”，故填asleep。
38. 空格前有情态动词may，后面接动词原形，“死亡”对应的英文单词是die，故填die。
39. 空格前有形容词最高级the best，后面接名词，“日常饮食”对应的英文是diet，故填diet。
40. 空格处需要修饰动词grow，要用副词形式，“迅速地”对应的英文是quickly，故填quickly。
B) 适当形式填空：
41. 固定结构one of the + 序数词 + 名词复数，表示“首批……之一”，one对应的序数词是first，故填first。
42. 本句是there be句型，时态为一般现在时，后面的名词jobs是复数，所以be动词用are，故填are。
43. 固定搭配use sb. to do sth. 表示“用某人做某事”，所以此处填to search。
44. 固定短语look like表示“看起来像”，符合句意“松露看起来像地下的蘑菇”，故填like。
45. 空格前的动词leave后面要接人称代词的宾格作宾语，they的宾格是them，故填them。
46. 空格前没有不定冠词，problem是可数名词，此处表示泛指各类健康问题，要用复数形式problems，故填problems。
47. 此处引导时间/条件状语从句，句意为“当/如果你看到这类工作犬，不要触碰它”，可以填When或者If，故填When/If。
48. 空格前的介词for后面要接动名词形式，work的动名词是working，故填working。
49. 时间状语In the past表示“在过去”，句子要用一般过去时，empty的过去式是emptied，故填emptied。
50. 空格处需要修饰动词guide，要用副词形式，safe的副词是safely，故填safely。
C) 首字母提示填空：
51. 前文提到陈女士支付了2000元，句意是“动物园会用这笔钱给动物买食物”，结合首字母m，填money。
52. 句意为“如果动物身体不适，这笔钱会用来支付它们的医疗花费”，结合首字母c，填cost。
53. 固定搭配learn about表示“了解”，句意为“她可以拿到证书，还能在线了解小熊猫的日常生活”，结合首字母l，填learn。
54. 固定搭配for free表示“免费”，句意为“她可以免费入园”，结合首字母f，填free。
55. 此处表示举例，句意为“像金丝猴、考拉、老虎这类动物都在领养名单上”，结合首字母l，填like。
56. 句意为“每只动物都有自己的简介”，结合首字母E，填Each。
57. 后文举例提到7岁的金丝猴，所以简介里包含它的年龄，结合首字母a，填age。
58. 此处和形容词bold并列，描述动物的性格，首字母s，填smart（聪明的）。
59. 固定搭配get help表示“获得帮助”，句意为“线上领养是红山森林动物园获得帮助渡过难关的方式之一”，结合首字母h，填help。
60. 句意为“动物园超过80%的收入来自游客的门票”，用名词所有格，结合首字母v，填visitors'。
