答案： 56.a　冠词　[解析]此处泛指“一处联合国教科文组织世界遗产”，且UNESCO是读音以辅音音素开头的单词，应用不定冠词a。故填a。
易错分析：有些考生根据UNESCO首字母是元音字母U而误填an。对于不定冠词a和an的选择不能单纯根据首字母来确定，而要根据单词读音是元音音素还是辅音音素来确定。以辅音字母开头，但常与an连用的单词有：hour，honest，honor等；以元音字母开头，但常与a连用的单词有：university，European，useful等。
57.is devoted　动词的时态、语态和主谓一致　[解析]全文主体时态是一般现在时，此处也应用一般现在时；固定搭配be devoted to意为“致力于”；且主语“The team”表示单数概念，谓语动词应用单数形式。故填is devoted。
58.which　定语从句　[解析]此处指该遗址的735个洞穴中的4.5万平方米的壁画和2400多尊彩塑的建造花费了一千多年的时间。本句是定语从句，先行词指物，与“the construction”之间为所属关系，应用of which引导该从句。故填which。
59.centuries　名词的单复数　[解析]句意为:这些文物是古丝绸之路上历经数个世纪的文化交流的产物。century是可数名词，此处应用其复数形式表泛指。故填centuries。
60.seen　非谓语动词　[解析]本句中已有谓语动词“include”，所以此处应用非谓语动词；动词see与主语“diseases”之间构成动宾关系，应用其过去分词形式作定语。故填seen。
61.to be　非谓语动词　[解析]句意为:修复师应该了解绘画，掌握石匠技艺，并且了解化学和物理知识，这样才能认识到问题，认清其相关的原因，并提出解决办法。此处应用动词不定式短语作目的状语。故填to be。
62.corresponding　词性转换　[解析]此处应用形容词作定语修饰名词“causes”。corresponding相关的，相应的。故填corresponding。
63.before　介词　[解析]句意为:他们必须在正式开始修复工作及过后评估(修复)效果之前，选择合适的材料和工具，并进行相关实验。before在……以前。故填before。
64.or　连词　[解析]句意为:当修复师发现壁画有部分缺失或褪色时，他们不会重绘这部分，以创造一个“完美”的外观。此处用连词or表选择。故填or。
65.appearance　词性转换　[解析]根据空格前的“a ‘perfect’”可知，此处应用appear的名词形式。故填appearance。
