14、st start working very early.5It can be inferred from the passagethat.A)being a movie extra can be boringB)movie extras need actingexperienceC)movie extras can play larger partsD)movie actors are quite differentfrom actors答案與題解：1B本文的第三段詳細(xì)敘述了群眾演員的主要工作要求是在拍攝現(xiàn)場等，不用做事，所以答案為B；第一段中描述了群眾演員的工作；他們是演員的陪襯，不用講話。

15、雖然提到他們是在餐館里，但并沒有提是否可以喝飲料，所以D可以排除；A中的only 詞太籠統(tǒng)，所以A不對；從第四段可以看出，從群眾演員到演員的轉(zhuǎn)型是相當(dāng)困難的，所以C也不對。2A第二段中說明了令初做群眾演員感到吃驚的是：拍一個(gè)場景需要一整天，而播放時(shí)只有幾分鐘。雖然B、D都有所提及，但不是令他們吃驚的事情。3C雖然做群眾演員耗時(shí)長而薪酬低，但他們?yōu)槭裁催€選擇這一工作呢？答案在第四段：他們喜歡這份工作，愿意與別的群眾演員交流，他們自己的工作時(shí)間有彈性。A沒有提到，B、D不太可能。4C做群眾演員的條件是什么？在第三段和第四段，我們可知：要有耐心（長時(shí)間等待，一個(gè)場景有時(shí)要拍好多次），要肯吃苦（在惡劣的戶外環(huán)境中拍戲），報(bào)酬低，工作時(shí)間有彈性。A、B沒有提到；在第三段的第二句提到：You may report towork at 5 or 6 a. m.，表明只是有時(shí)會(huì)很早開始工作，不是每日必須的，所以D不對。5A從本文對群眾演員的工作描述我們可以看出，群眾演員只是演員的道具，所以是乏味的。B沒有提到；據(jù)第四段的最后一句，C不對；第四段的最后一句清楚表明，群眾演員和真正的演員差別很大，所以不是得出的推論，推論是通過字里行間推出來的，不是給出的陳述。
