Question

Peter Qwen has been making wigs (假发)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.

试题分析：这篇短文介绍的是假发制作商Peter Owen的故事。他为70多部电影中的明星制作过假发，这当中包括一些著名的明星，像Tom Hanks 、Jonny Depp 等。他的假发不只是让人们变得漂亮，有时候还会使人变得普通。他的假发都是用真人的头发制成的，价格很贵，但是可以达到以假乱真的地步。

1.主旨大意题。浏览全文可知，这篇短文为我们介绍了假发制作商Peter Owen的故事，他是一个著名的假发制造商，为很多明星做过造型。故B选项最能概括本文的主要内容，故选B。

2.细节理解题。根据文章第二段"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."，人们没有意识到的事情是，我们不只用假发使人们变得漂亮，我们也经常用假发掩盖美丽，使他们看起来很普通。这就是Peter Owen的假发的特别之处。故选C。

3.细节理解题。根据文章第三段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的所有假发都是用人的真发手工制作的，看起来很真实，这就使他们的价格非常昂贵。故选D。

4.推理判断题。根据文章的最后一段可知，当人们没有意识到电影明星带了假发的时候，Peter就会非常的高兴，因为他觉得自己做的很好，可以以假乱真，故D选项的表述和文章的意思不符。根据文章He has made wigs for the stars of more than seventy movies可知A的表述是正确的；根据文章第一段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选项的表述是正确的；根据文章第二段可知C选项的表述是正确的。故选D。
