　　【答案解析】

　　1.[C]因果细节题。考查作者决定自制圣诞礼物的原因，定位到第1段。根据第1段最后两句可知，作者之所以坚持今年自制圣诞礼物的真正原因是她的英国之旅(受BBC2一档节目之邀，到英国做某项调查)激励了她。故C是答案。

　　2.[D]细节判断题。第2段简述她的英国之旅远非所想象的一样浪漫，在旅途中她靠给别人做手工活而解决了食宿。并且了解到很多人都想学做手工艺品。因此选项D符合题意。A、B是未启程之前作者自己的想象;她此行的目的不是赚钱，C错。

　　3.[C]细节判断题。第2段提到，作者最终定下旅行计划(finalized the plan)，开始上路时，已是深秋(落叶已在脚下作响)。C为正确答案。

　　4.[A]细节判断题。定位到第5段，根据第5段的第2句可知，手工艺品之所以受欢迎除了流行外，我们学会了珍惜劳动、领略手工艺品的价值。因此A符合题意。

　　5.[D]观点态度题。考查作者对自制圣诞礼物的看法，定位到最后一段。根据最后一段首句可知，作者认为自制圣诞礼物能激发个人艺术潜能，D正确。 A错在just;该段提到，有些小礼物在30分钟内便可制作完成，B与原文表述不符。C不是作者对制作圣诞礼物的看法。
