【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。
