【1】A意为：他从来没有去过任何国家；B：他只给现代建筑拍照；C：他想娶一个女人，他也想让她和他一起去旅行；D：他去过很多国家。根据上句话He loves to travel and take pictures可知，Tim喜欢旅行和拍照。而下文则讲述了Tim和妻子去埃及的一次旅行。因此我们可以推断他去过很多国家，故应选D。

【2】A：这是令人吃惊的；B：它是感到吃惊的；C：它只是情不自禁；D：它在拐角处。上文讲述了古代的埃及人是如何建造金字塔的，据说金字塔是由100,000名工人，花费了大约20年的时间修建成的，对于工人们来说搬运巨大的石头肯定是非常困难的，他们却做到了，因此这是非常令人惊讶的。故应选A。

【3】A：他相信修建金字塔不是什么大事；B：但是他对新书不感兴趣；C：他们在那里玩得真的非常开心；D：他认为他不会再回到那儿去了。根据上文的描述They also tried some Egyptian food and went shopping there. They couldn’t wait to be there again. Tim took a lot of pictures for his new books可知，Tim和Candy在埃及玩得非常的开心，故应选C。
