【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解题，包含细节匹配、主旨大意、文章结构三类题型。解题思路：1. 细节匹配题需先提炼各段落核心内容，再对应隐含图片的对应关系（②俄罗斯生日派→D，③墨西哥皮纳塔→C，④澳大利亚仙女面包→B，⑤韩国生日派对→A）；2. 主旨大意题需抓住文章首句总起句，明确全文围绕“各国孩子庆祝生日的方式”展开，排除片面选项；3. 文章结构题需判断段落逻辑，本文为“总-分”结构，首段总述，后续段落分述各国情况，据此选对应结构。
【解析】
1. 细节匹配：②段核心是俄罗斯孩子的生日派，对应图片D；③段核心是墨西哥孩子打皮纳塔，对应图片C；④段核心是澳大利亚孩子的仙女面包，对应图片B；⑤段核心是韩国孩子的生日派对，对应图片A，故答案为②D、③C、④B、⑤A。
2. 主旨大意：文章首句“Children around the world celebrate their birthdays in many ways.”点明主旨，全文分述俄、墨、澳、韩四国的生日庆祝方式，A选项“庆祝生日的方式”最贴合；B仅涉及食物，C仅涉及派对，D范围过宽，均不恰当，故选A。
3. 文章结构：首段（①）总述各国庆祝生日方式多样，②-⑤段分别介绍不同国家的具体方式，为“总-分”结构，对应选项A。
【答案】
1. D C B A；2. A；3. A
