【答案】

【1】B

【2】C

【3】B

【解析】

本文主要讲述中国在2018年所取得的一些惊人成就，重点讲述世界最高人造瀑布和世界第一个深坑宾馆。

【1】细节理解题。根据上文It’s reported that keeping it running costs about 800 yuan per hour, so it has been shown only for less than 10 times. 据报道，它的运行成本保持在每小时800元左右，所以它只展示了不到10次。可知瀑布只开放几次，是因为高昂的成本。故选B。

【2】细节理解题。根据上文It costs around 600 dollars for one night. Compared with the height, the cost is pretty high. 一晚花了600美元。与高度相比，成本相当高。可知作者认为这家宾馆价格太高了。故选C。

【3】主旨大意题。通读全文，可知本文主要讲述2018年中国所取得的一些惊人成就——世界最高人造瀑布和世界第一个深坑宾馆，故选B。
