(答案→)The expressions(words)to describe important people 
解析:
【小题1】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。
【小题2】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。
【小题3】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。
【小题4】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。
【小题5】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。
翻译题,本题的难点在于上下文的语境和解决词汇的障碍。
