【分析】
首先通读短文，明确Bruce写信的核心语境是家里出现大量壁虎，寻求解决建议。接着逐个分析空格的语法结构、所需词性及词义，匹配给定词汇并进行适当变形：
1. 第51空：句子主谓结构完整，空格在句末作状语，需用副词修饰整个句子，结合语境“家里最近有很多壁虎”，选择对应词汇变形。
2. 第52空：符合固定句型“It is + adj + to do sth”，需填形容词，结合语境“有这么多壁虎在周围是不寻常的”，选择对应词汇变形。
3. 第53空：符合固定搭配“be...of”，需填形容词，结合语境“家人害怕壁虎”，选择对应词汇变形。
4. 第54空：句子缺谓语动词，主语为单数，结合语境“邻居过去建议我养猫”，需用动词过去式变形。
5. 第55空：符合固定搭配“help to do sth”，需填动词原形，结合语境“处理问题”，选择对应短语原形。
【解析】
1. 第51空：修饰句子需副词，形容词recent的副词形式为recently，故填recently。
2. 第52空：It is + adj + to do结构，结合语境“有这么多壁虎不寻常”，形容词usual的否定形式为unusual，故填unusual。
3. 第53空：固定搭配be scared of（害怕），scary修饰物，此处形容人的感受，用scared，故填scared。
4. 第54空：句子缺谓语，动作发生在过去，动词advise的过去式为advised，故填advised。
5. 第55空：help to后接动词原形，固定短语deal with（处理）符合语境，故填deal with。
