【2】D

【3】C

【解析】

文章大意：文章向大家介紹了能從太空看見的地球上的一些巨大的事物如——大堡礁；吉薩金字塔；喜馬拉雅山，它們都是世界的奇跡。

【1】推理判斷題。本篇向大家介紹了從太空能看得見的地球上的一些巨大的事物——大堡礁、吉薩金字塔、喜馬拉雅山，它們都是世界的奇跡，推斷此文來自報紙上與“奇跡”相關(guān)的文章，故選A。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中“Great Barrier Reef-It also becomes the largest living thing in this world that can be seen from space；Pyramid of Giza-One of the seven wonders of ancient world also becomes favorite place for astronomers to take photos from space； Himalayas-the world's highest mountains, can be seen from space.”可知它們都大到能從太空上被看見，故選D。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù) The width of it from south to north varies between 125 and 250 miles (200 and 400 km). 可知A答案的kilometers不對，是miles，所以A表達(dá)錯誤；根據(jù) Their total area amounts are about 230,000 square miles (595,000 square km). 可知喜馬拉雅山能被看見不是因為它最高，而是因為它的寬度，所以B表達(dá)錯誤；根據(jù) The Great Barrier Reef connects more than 900 reef islands, lied in eastern part of Australia.可知大堡礁不是1500個島，而是900個，所以D表達(dá)錯誤；根據(jù) It can not at all be seen by eyes, so astronomers used a special camera for it.可知吉薩金字塔不能被肉眼看到，因此宇航員們使用一個特殊的攝影機(jī)才能看它，表達(dá)正確，故選C。

本篇是閱讀單選，考查細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力。解答前要先快速閱讀全文，理解大意；再閱讀題干，正確理解題干的要求；然后回歸原文，尋找有用信息作答；本篇題型設(shè)定題2是細(xì)節(jié)理解題，題1、3是推理判斷題，解答時需關(guān)注題干關(guān)鍵詞，根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞尋找匹配答案；題3推理判斷題要仔細(xì)比對原文和題干的信息，一一排除干擾項。解答完，要通讀全文，核實答案和原文信息是否一致。
