Question

7．阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题．（请注意问题后的词数要求）
[1]Some expressions describe people who are important，or who at least think they are．One such expression is bigwig．
[2]In the seventeenth century，important men in Europe began to wear false hair，called wigs．As years passed，wigs began to get bigger．The size of a man's wig depended on how important he was． The more important he was-or thought he was一                 ．
Today，the expression bigwig is used to make fun of a person who feels important．People never tell someone he is a bigwig．They only use the expression behind his back．
[3]Big wheel is another way to describe an important person．A big wheel may be the head of a company，a political leader，a famous movie star．They are big wheels because they are powerful．What they do affects many people．Big wheels give the orders．Other people carry them out．As in many machines，a big wheel makes the little wheels turn．Big wheel became a popular expression after World WarⅡ．It probably comes from an expression used for many years by people who fix parts of cars and trucks．They said a person roiled a big wheel if he was important and had influence．
[4]The top of something is the highest part．So it is not surprising that top is part of another expression that describes an important person．The expression is top banana．A top banana is the leading person in a comedy show．The funniest comedian is called the top banana．The next is second banana．And so on．Why a banana？A comedy act in earlier days often included a part where one of the comedians would hit the others over the head with a soft object． The object was shaped like the yellow fruit：the banana．Top banana still is used mainly in show business．Yet the expression can also be used to describe the top person in any area．

分析 本文讲述了在英语中一些用来描述重要人物的短语如big wheels等．

解答 76．The expressions（words）to describe important people 主旨大意题．本文主要讲述的就是在英语中一些用来描述重要人物的短语．
77．the bigger the wig he wore 推理题．根据前一句The size of a man's wig depended on how important he was．说明所佩戴的wig说明了这个人的重要程度，那么一个人越重要，他所佩戴的wig就越大．
78．It is used behind one's back to make fun of someone who feels important．细节题．就第二段最后两句the expression bigwig is used to make fun of a person who feels important．People never tell someone he is a bigwig．They only use the expression behind his back．说明这个词现在被用来取消那些自以为重要的人．
79．carry out 推理题．根据第三段第三行Big wheels give the orders．Other people carry them out．说明有权的人被称为Big wheels，别人是执行他的命令．故使用carry out执行．
80．在早期的喜剧中，常有这样的场景：其中一名喜剧演员会用柔软的物件敲打别的演员们的脑袋．在翻译这句话时，注意句子里where引导一个定语从句，修饰a part．另外，hit…over 意为打某人某个部位．
