16、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。 3．C　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。 4．C　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)會很早開始工作，不是每日必須的，所以D不對。 5．A　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。
