56．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：然而，在过去的30年里，政府、社会组织和当地农民共同努力控制Kubuqi沙漠的荒漠化。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语in the past 30 years可知，应用现在完成时，且wrk与句子主语“the gvernment, scial rganizatins and lcal farmers”之间为主动关系，主语表示复数概念。故填have wrked。
57．考查介词。句意：但由于气候变化和人类的过度开发，农田逐渐变成了沙漠。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语due t，意为“由于，因为”符合句意。故填t。

63．考查名词复数。句意：现在工人们可以在十秒钟内种下一棵树，树木的成活率超过80%。分析句子结构可知，此处应为名词作宾语，根据空前的ten可知，此处应填可数名词复数，ten secnds意为“十秒钟”。故填secnds。

65．考查连词。句意：Meng Keda的家族世代生活在Kubuqi沙漠深处，2006年，他开始做旅游生意，去年赚了30万元。分析句子结构可知，“began a turism business”与“earned abut 300,000 yuan”之间为并列结构，结合句意，两者之间为并列关系，所以此处使用并列连词and。故填and。
