李鹏兴回答:
  53.B词义猜测题.由第一段的inserviceannouncementsonLondon'sUnderground.可知,在伦敦地铁的服务公告上,以及第二段的第一句话可知,tubedrivers意思为subwaydrivers,即地铁司机.   54.B细节理解题.由第三段的"Itmakesmefeelannoyed,"hesaid.可知伦敦地铁的服务公告让他感到恼火,厌倦,故选B   55.B推理判断题.由第四段的replacingsomeannouncementswithsomethingmorehumanandattractive.用一些更人性化,更吸引人的东西取代一些地铁服务公告,可知在伦敦地铁上引用谚语的理由.故选B.   56.B主旨大意题.由文章第一段可知一些名人名言要被出现在英国地铁上,这些是一些文化,所以B项正确.A项范围过大;C项过窄;D项与内容不符.
