【分析】
首先通读全文，理清短文介绍新型运动plogging（慢跑捡垃圾）的核心大意，解题时逐个空结合语境、固定搭配、语法规则推导：
1. 先区分空格是否给出提示词，有提示词的要判断对应的词性变换规则，无提示词的要判断需要填入冠词、介词、连词等虚词；
2. 遇到修饰成分判断、时间标志提示时态、than提示比较级、不定代词作主语的主谓一致等考点，对应套用所学语法规则，验证逻辑通顺即可得出答案。
【解析】
46. 此处作表语，修饰事物“跑步”，表达“有趣的”含义，要将名词interest变为形容词interesting。
47. 后面的way是可数名词单数，此处表示“一种方法”，表泛指，填不定冠词a。
48. 固定搭配a kind of 意为“一种……”，符合语境，填介词of。
49. 时间标志several years ago（几年前）对应一般过去时，谓语动词start要变为过去式started。
50. 后面是名词name，需要形容词性物主代词修饰，指代这项运动的名字，it变为its。
51. 前后的“pick up”和“jogging”是两个并列的名称来源，填并列连词and。
52. 此处修饰动词短语go outside，需要将形容词usual变为副词usually。
53. while引导时间状语从句，此处是省略结构，相当于while they are running，省略主语和be动词后填现在分词running。
54. 主语nobody是不定代词，作主语时谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，like变为likes。
55. 后面出现比较级标志than，形容词good要变为比较级better。
