Question

Peter Qwen has been making wigs (假發)since the 1980s . He has made wigs for the stars of more than seventy movies ,including Tom Hanks in Philadelphia, Johnny Depp in Sleepy Hollow and Nicole Kidman in The Others. One of his biggest jobs so far has designed the hair and makeup for the three Lord o f the Ring movies . He had just six weeks to design and make more than a hundred wigs, each one a different style, color, shape and length.

    The hair and makeup in a movie are just as important as the costumes or the sets. Over the years, Peter has made actors look older, younger, healthy and sick. For one movie he even made a female actor look like a man! "What people don't realize about wigs is that we are not always making people more beautiful," he says. "Often we are covering up beauty and making them look ordinary."

    All Peter's wigs are handmade using human hair, so they look as real as possible. This also makes them very expensive -between US $ 4,500 and US $12,500 each! He knows he's done a good job when people don't realize the star of the movie is wearing a wig. So he was pleased when one newspaper said that Nicole Kidman had dyed her hair dark brown for a movie. "It was a wig and no one knew that9" he said.

試題分析：這篇短文介紹的是假發制作商Peter Owen的故事。他為70多部電影中的明星制作過假發，這當中包括一些著名的明星，像Tom Hanks 、Jonny Depp 等。他的假發不只是讓人們變得漂亮，有時候還會使人變得普通。他的假發都是用真人的頭發制成的，價格很貴，但是可以達到以假亂真的地步。

1.主旨大意題。瀏覽全文可知，這篇短文為我們介紹了假發制作商Peter Owen的故事，他是一個著名的假發制造商，為很多明星做過造型。故B選項最能概括本文的主要內容，故選B。

2.細節理解題。根據文章第二段"What people don't realize about wigs is that we are not always making people more beautiful," he says. "Often we are covering up beauty and making them look ordinary."，人們沒有意識到的事情是，我們不只用假發使人們變得漂亮，我們也經常用假發掩蓋美麗，使他們看起來很普通。這就是Peter Owen的假發的特別之處。故選C。

3.細節理解題。根據文章第三段All Peter's wigs are handmade using human hair, so they look as real as possible. This also makes them very expensive可知，Peter的所有假發都是用人的真發手工制作的，看起來很真實，這就使他們的價格非常昂貴。故選D。

4.推理判斷題。根據文章的最后一段可知，當人們沒有意識到電影明星帶了假發的時候，Peter就會非常的高興，因為他覺得自己做的很好，可以以假亂真，故D選項的表述和文章的意思不符。根據文章He has made wigs for the stars of more than seventy movies可知A的表述是正確的；根據文章第一段He had just six weeks to design and make more than a hundred wigs, each one a different style, color, shape and length.可知B選項的表述是正確的；根據文章第二段可知C選項的表述是正確的。故選D。
