1．C 推理判断题。根据作者在文章的第一部分介绍整个画展时最后提到的内容，可判断出Charles Blackman创作出关于《爱丽斯梦游仙境》画作的主要原因既出于对妻子逐渐恶化的眼疾的关心，也反映了自己对人生的理解，是自身情感的迸发和宣泄，所以答案选C。
2．D 细节理解题。文章在介绍第三、四两项活动时都提到“Friday, 27 July”，为同一天。
3．D 推理判断题。由文章的最后一项活动内容可知，如果想要更好地了解《爱丽斯梦游仙境》画作的创作，应该选择去Drawing Workshop。
4．A 细节理解题。根据文章内容可知，含有儿童书籍周的庆祝日活动是在第二项具体活动中。
5．B 词义猜测题。根据文章第一部分介绍的内容可推知disheartened应是“被打击”的意思，故与B项discouraged意思最接近。
