Answer 1

【小題1】C

【小題2】D

【小題3】D

【小題4】A

解析:

【小題1】這是一道推理題。根據(jù)第一段“The story of Alice ...,was similar to his wife’s experience. It also reflected so much of his own life. All this contributed to the completion of the Alice in Wonderland paintings.”可以推斷出作者認(rèn)為Alice的遭遇和他妻子的經(jīng)歷相似,(這個(gè)小說(shuō))也很大程度反映了作者的生活,所以作者畫(huà)了這些畫(huà)。所以畫(huà)畫(huà)的目的是表達(dá)作者的感受。

【小題2】這是一道細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)對(duì)于Topsy-Turvy和Drawing Workshop的介紹,這兩個(gè)活動(dòng)都在27 July 開(kāi)放,具體時(shí)間在12 noon-3 pm有重疊,所以可以在同一天參加。

【小題3】這是一道推斷題。根據(jù)對(duì)于Drawing Workshop的介紹,“Find out how Charles Blackman distorted scale in his paintings to create a curious world.”可以推斷出這個(gè)展覽是對(duì)于Charles Blackman繪畫(huà)技巧的一個(gè)展示,所以想要理解作者這幅畫(huà),應(yīng)該去參觀這個(gè)展覽,地點(diǎn)在Foyer,Level 3.。

【小題4】這是一道推斷題。根據(jù)對(duì)于Wonderful world的描述,“Celebrate the exhibition and Children’s Book Week with special just for the day.” 可知這個(gè)展覽是關(guān)于兒童書(shū)籍的展覽,時(shí)間是24 June,2007。
