答案与题解：
1.B 本文的第三段详细叙述了群众演员的主要工作要求是在拍摄现场等，不用做事，所以答案为B;第一段中描述了群众演员的工作;他们是演员的陪衬，不用讲话。虽然提到他们是在餐馆里，但并没有提是否可以喝饮料，所以D可以排除;A中的only —词太笼统，所以A不对;从第四段可以看出，从群众演员到演员的转型是相当困难的，所以C也不对。
2.A 第二段中说明了令初做群众演员感到吃惊的是：拍一个场景需要一整天，而播放时只有几分钟。虽然B、D都有所提及，但不是令他们吃惊的事情。
3.C 虽然做群众演员耗时长而薪酬低，但他们为什么还选择这一工作呢?答案在第四段：他们喜欢这份工作，愿意与别的群众演员交流，他们自己的工作时间有弹性。A没有提到，B、D不太可能。
4.C 做群众演员的条件是什么?在第三段和第四段，我们可知：要有耐心(长时间等待，一个场景有时要拍好多次)，要肯吃苦(在恶劣的户外环境中拍戏)，报酬低，工作时间有弹性。A、B没有提到;在第三段的第二句提到：You may report to work at 5 or 6 a. m.，表明只是有时会很早开始工作，不是每日必须的，所以D不对。
5.A 从本文对群众演员的工作描述我们可以看出，群众演员只是演员的道具，所以是乏味的。B没有提到;据第四段的最后一句，C不对;第四段的最后一句清楚表明，群众演员和真正的演员差别很大，所以不是得出的推论，推论是通过字里行间推出来的，不是给出的陈述。
