答案： 56.is called 动词的时态、语态和主谓一致 【解析】分析句子结构可知，此处应填谓语动词；动词call与主语“This science”之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；且此处描述的是客观事实，所以用一般现在时；又因主语“This science”为第三人称单数，谓语动词也应用单三形式。故填is called。
57.drawing 非谓语动词 【解析】involve doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“涉及做某事”。故填drawing。
58.to solve 非谓语动词 【解析】此处表示它涉及从自然的设计和进程中汲取灵感，以解决人类问题或改进技术。空格处需用动词不定式短语作目的状语。故填to solve。
59.in 介词 【解析】此处表示“在他们的一款新车中使用了箱鲀的形状”，应用介词in。故填in。
60.faster 形容词的比较等级 【解析】根据空后的“and more fuel efficient”可知，此处应用fast的比较级，与“more fuel efficient”并列，作动词makes的宾语补足语。故填faster。
61.probably 词性转换 【解析】分析句子结构可知，此处应用副词作状语修饰be动词“is”。故填probably。
62.an 冠词 【解析】此处泛指“一件衣服”，且item是读音以元音音素开头的单词，其前应用不定冠词an。故填an。
63.when 状语从句 【解析】此处表示他在乡间散步时扯掉了裤子上的一个毛刺。分析句子结构可知，空格处需要填入一个连词，将前后分句连接起来。前面的分句用的是过去进行时，表示某件事在过去某一时刻正在发生；后面的分句使用了一般过去时，所以应用连词when，意为“正在这时”，表示某件事正在进行，突然另一个动作发生了。故填when。
64.affordable 词性转换 【解析】根据空前的冠词“an”和空后的名词“alternative”可知，此处需用形容词作定语，修饰名词“alternative”。故填affordable。
65.possibilities 名词的单复数 【解析】分析句子结构可知，设空处应用名词作promises的宾语，且根据“many more”可知，“可能性”不止一种，所以用可数名词possibility的复数形式。故填possibilities。
