【分析】
解答本题需先通读全文把握主旨，再针对每道小题的题型（细节理解、词义猜测、主旨大意等），定位原文对应内容逐一分析：1题是细节理解，需定位Moneyball段落找Billy Beane的职业；2题需计算各电影的番茄指数与观众评分差值，找分歧最大的；3题是词义猜测，结合上下文推断划线词含义；4题是细节判断，核对选项与原文是否一致；5题是推理判断，排除无法从原文推断的选项；6题是主旨大意，总结全文核心内容。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：根据Moneyball段落第一句“The movie follows the struggles of Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland Athletics professional baseball team”，可知Billy Beane的主要工作是奥克兰运动家队的总经理，对应选项C。
2. 细节理解题：计算各电影的番茄指数与观众评分差值：Wonder（90-80=10）、Coach Carter（85-64=21）、Moneyball（86-94=8）、The Blind Side（85-66=19），差值最大的是Coach Carter，说明评论家和观众分歧最大，对应选项C。
3. 词义猜测题：前文提到“运动中蕴含精彩戏剧”，因此好莱坞经常从体育领域“探索”相关题材，mined在此处意为“探索”，对应选项B。
4. 细节判断题：A选项，Wonder基于体育历史上的伟大时刻，属于重大历史事件改编，符合原文；B选项仅The Blind Side标注为Comedy，其余为Drama，错误；C选项原文未提及适合13岁以上儿童，错误；D选项原文未说明所有电影都有知名演员，错误，故答案为A。
5. 推理判断题：D选项中“The Blind Slide”为拼写错误（原文是The Blind Side），且原文未提及家庭主妇会对该电影感兴趣，无法从原文推断；A、B、C选项均可从原文合理推断，故答案为D。
