解答 答案:
53.C 细节推理题 根据Tower Bridge部分中的"Tower Bridge is the only Thames bridge that can be raised(塔桥是唯一可以被提升的泰晤士桥)"可知,如果在泰晤士河上有一艘大型的船只,它可以穿过塔桥;故选C
54.A 细节理解题 根据London Bridge部分中的"Houses and shops were once built on the bridge,which made the road so narrow that it was often jammed with people,horse and carts."可知,由于在伦敦桥上曾经建了一些房子和商店,它的上面经常挤满了人,马和车,所以使得伦敦桥变窄了;故选A

56.C 推理判断题 根据最后一段"The British romantic poet,William Wordsworth,wrote a famous poem…1802."只提到英国浪漫主义诗人威廉•华兹华斯,于1802年的秋天写了一首关于威斯敏斯特桥的著名的诗;并没有提到他写了许多有关泰晤士桥的诗,故排除A;根据Millennium Bridge部分中的"the bridge had to be shut because of the dangerous waving caused by too many visitors."可知,由于客流量过大,会产生危险,所以伦敦的千禧桥曾经被关闭;文中并没有提到千禧桥是由于不够结实而被拆了重建,故排除B;根据Tower Bridge部分"Tower Bridge has…and is one of the finest,most recognizable bridges in the world"只提到塔桥是世界上最好的,最知名的桥梁之一,并没有提到因为塔桥是伦敦泰晤士河上的第一座桥,而使得它成为伦敦的象征,故排除D;根据London Bridge部分"A‘keep left'rule was made in 1733 to keep the traffic moving.This became the rule of the road in Britain"讲到了英国靠左行走的道路交通规则正是源于伦敦桥上的交通规则;故选C
