Answer 1

【小题1】C

【小题2】D

【小题3】D

【小题4】A

解析:

【小题1】这是一道推理题。根据第一段“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.”可以推断出作者认为Alice的遭遇和他妻子的经历相似,(这个小说)也很大程度反映了作者的生活,所以作者画了这些画。所以画画的目的是表达作者的感受。

【小题2】这是一道细节判断题。根据对于Topsy-Turvy和Drawing Workshop的介绍,这两个活动都在27 July 开放,具体时间在12 noon-3 pm有重叠,所以可以在同一天参加。

【小题3】这是一道推断题。根据对于Drawing Workshop的介绍,“Find out how Charles Blackman distorted scale in his paintings to create a curious world.”可以推断出这个展览是对于Charles Blackman绘画技巧的一个展示,所以想要理解作者这幅画,应该去参观这个展览,地点在Foyer,Level 3.。

【小题4】这是一道推断题。根据对于Wonderful world的描述,“Celebrate the exhibition and Children’s Book Week with special just for the day.” 可知这个展览是关于儿童书籍的展览,时间是24 June,2007。
