【解析】

試題分析：本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，介紹了在死亡清單這部電影中，兩位主人公因患癌列出了他們?cè)谒劳鲋跋肴サ牡胤�，這些地方包括文章中的4個(gè)小標(biāo)題，分別是埃及金字塔、印度泰姬陵、中國(guó)長(zhǎng)城、尼泊爾喜馬拉雅山。

【1】B詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文本第一段我們可以得知Nicholson和Morgan Freeman被診斷得了癌癥，所以kick the bucket解釋為死亡，他們想在死前做自己想做的事。故選B。

【2】A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本題提問(wèn)的是在哪里可以欣賞到泰姬陵的全景，故可從本文第三段標(biāo)有TAJ MAHAL標(biāo)題的段落中找答案。Stay at the attractive Oberoi AmarVilas overlooking the Taj.從此句中得知A選項(xiàng)正確，故選A。

【3】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本題提問(wèn)的是如果你去珠穆朗瑪峰進(jìn)行冒險(xiǎn)旅行時(shí)應(yīng)該注意什么。從文章最后一段GAP Adventures warns that this is a physically demanding trip.得知C選項(xiàng)正確，故選C。
