In the early days of his life, Eddie Chapman was a petty criminal that lived in England.
He ran away from the army, stole, and even formed his own gang. His crimes landed him in
jail, where he had little hope of continuing his criminal assets. He didn't stay in jail,
however. When the Germans invaded England in the summer of 1940, Chapman, then 25, wrote
them a letter stating his intentions to join the Germans as a spy to avoid troubles with
the law in England.
After some consideration, the Germans proceeded to break Chapman out of jail, trained
him, and sent him on a mission to blow up a British airplane factory. But, it seemed that
Chapman still had some love for his country. Upon parachuting from a plane en route to
completing his mission, Chapman turned himself in to the local police, and managed to
convince the British that he was still on their side.
To fool the Germans, the British faked damage to the plane factory, and taught Chapman
what to say when he went back to the Germans to appear successful. And Chapman did manage
to appear successful. The Germans loved the double-agent so much that they awarded him
with a war award, gave him vast sums of money, and even gave him promotion.
The British, however, did not love Chapman quite as much. As Chapman was not secretive
about his sources of income, the British saw him as a liability, and eventually dismissed
the spy in 1944. Chapman then returned to his former life of crime, assuming that as he
now held secrets to the British, he could probably bargain his way out of the arms of the
law. The following years were spent avoiding punishment from the British law enforcement.
Chapman eventually settled down in 1953 after he managed to release his war stories.
He got married, had a daughter, and quietly lived the rest of his life as a businessman
until his heart gave out in 1997.
How did Chapman get the Germans to think he completed his missions?

若要讓敵國相信一座防禦森嚴的工廠已經被成功炸毀，單憑 Chapman 一個人的說詞可能不夠。請回想一下文章中，當地的英國機構採取了哪些具體的「佈置」來配合他的說法？這些佈置如果沒有地主的協助，Chapman 獨自一人能辦到嗎？

雙面間諜的瞞天過海
恭喜你準確地掌握了文章的關鍵細節！你能識別出 Chapman 身為「雙面間諜」的核心行動，代表你對於文本中複雜角色關係的理解非常敏銳。這題的正確答案 (B) Cooperated with the British secretly 正是建立在 Chapman 投誠後，與英國軍方聯手佈下的局。 根據文章第三段的描述，為了欺騙德國人，英國軍方主動「偽造了工廠受損的假象」(faked damage) 並教導 Chapman 回報時的應對話術。這說明了 Chapman 能夠成功讓德國人信以為真，並非真的執行了破壞任務，而是透過與英國情報單位的秘密合作來達成目標。這道題目具有不錯的鑑別度，考驗讀者能否區分「德國人眼中的表象」與「事實的真相」；難度切入點在於學生是否能從文中 "The British faked damage... and taught Chapman what to say" 這幾句話，推論出這是一場由雙方共同策劃的騙局，而非 Chapman 的個人秀。
