【分析】
做这类首字母填空的题，第一步先通读全文，理清文章主旨：本文介绍了江苏科技大学开设免费水肺潜水课程的相关内容。第二步逐句结合上下文逻辑、首字母提示、常用固定搭配和语法规则推导空格内容，第三步把填好的词代入全文通读，验证语义通顺、语法合规即可。比如遇到固定结构可以直接对应，遇到语义类空格就结合前后句的描述推导符合语境的词汇。
【解析】
56. 本句是疑问句，表达“你曾经花很多钱学过水肺潜水吗”的含义，用ever表示“曾经”符合语境，故填ever。
57. 前文提到先学习半学期的潜水理论，之后才进入水下实践，结合首字母w，填water表示“水”。
58. 句意是学生之后可以在学校的深泳池里核验自己的学习效果，结合首字母c，check表示“检查、核验”符合语义，故填check。
59. 上潜水课的基础要求是学生掌握游泳技能，结合首字母s，填swim表示“游泳”。
60. 固定搭配little by little意为“一点一点地、逐渐地”，符合“逐步掌握潜水技能才能保证安全”的语义，故填by。
61. 句意是哪怕经过半学期训练，学生首次潜水也可能遇到各类困难，表不确定的推测“可能、也许”，首字母为m，may/might都符合语境。
62. 后文提到数值超过20公斤，是描述潜水装备的重量，主语it是第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语动词用三单形式，结合首字母w，填weighs表示“重量为……”。
63. 前文描述穿潜水服时很热、下水后很冷，对应短时间内体会到“火与冰”的感受，首字母f，填fire。
64. 学生面对新奇的潜水课程体验，情绪是兴奋的，修饰人的主观感受用excited，故填excited。
65. 句意是“我从没想过我们会有这样的课程”，描述过去的想法，用think的过去式，结合首字母t，填thought。
