【题目】In the hit film The Bucket List, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman meet in hospital in California after they have been diagnosed with cancer. Between them they cook up(虚构) a “bucket list” ------ a to-do list of all they want to do before they kick the bucket. The movie makes you wonder what would be on your bucket list. So let’s pack up some and see what it would cost to go out and have a little fun.

【解析】
试题分析：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了在死亡清单这部电影中，两位主人公因患癌列出了他们在死亡之前想去的地方，这些地方包括文章中的4个小标题，分别是埃及金字塔、印度泰姬陵、中国长城、尼泊尔喜马拉雅山。
【1】B词义猜测题。根据文本第一段我们可以得知Nicholson和Morgan Freeman被诊断得了癌症，所以kick the bucket解释为死亡，他们想在死前做自己想做的事。故选B。
【2】A细节理解题。本题提问的是在哪里可以欣赏到泰姬陵的全景，故可从本文第三段标有TAJ MAHAL标题的段落中找答案。Stay at the attractive Oberoi AmarVilas overlooking the Taj.从此句中得知A选项正确，故选A。
【3】C细节理解题。本题提问的是如果你去珠穆朗玛峰进行冒险旅行时应该注意什么。从文章最后一段GAP Adventures warns that this is a physically demanding trip.得知C选项正确，故选C。
