【解析】

这个对话是李雷和Martin在打电话，Martin询问李雷中国最近的情况，并且他在写一本书，内容是关于中国人民对抗新冠病毒的，李雷祝福他能够成功。

55．句意：——一切都好吗？——相当好！

根据情境，这句话在两人对话的开始，再由下面的回答“Pretty good”可知，这里应该是Martin对李雷的问候，故答案为How’s everything going?

56．句意：——你多久能写完它？——一个月以后。

上文“I’m writing a book about Chinese people fighting against the novel coronavirus”Martin提到他在写一本书；再根据下面的回答“In a month”可知，这里李雷问他多久能够完成，疑问词应用How soon。故答案为How soon can you finish it?

57．句意：——祝你成功！——谢谢你。——不客气。

上句话“May you succeed”是李雷对Martin的祝福，下句话用“You’re welcome”回答，因此这个空应该是Martin向李雷表示感谢。故答案为Thank you.
