【2】D

【3】C

【解析】

文章大意：文章向大家介绍了能从太空看见的地球上的一些巨大的事物如——大堡礁；吉萨金字塔；喜马拉雅山，它们都是世界的奇迹。

【1】推理判断题。本篇向大家介绍了从太空能看得见的地球上的一些巨大的事物——大堡礁、吉萨金字塔、喜马拉雅山，它们都是世界的奇迹，推断此文来自报纸上与“奇迹”相关的文章，故选A。

【2】细节理解题。根据文中“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.”可知它们都大到能从太空上被看见，故选D。

【3】推理判断题。根据 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不对，是miles，所以A表达错误；根据 Their total area amounts are about 230,000 square miles (595,000 square km). 可知喜马拉雅山能被看见不是因为它最高，而是因为它的宽度，所以B表达错误；根据 The Great Barrier Reef connects more than 900 reef islands, lied in eastern part of Australia.可知大堡礁不是1500个岛，而是900个，所以D表达错误；根据 It can not at all be seen by eyes, so astronomers used a special camera for it.可知吉萨金字塔不能被肉眼看到，因此宇航员们使用一个特殊的摄影机才能看它，表达正确，故选C。
