【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“枕头战”这个比赛项目的起源，规则和前景。

【1】根据第一自然段首句中的Pillow fighting in its natural state is a display of chaos, a safe-ish outlet to most children.可知，枕头大战在其自然状态下是一种混乱的表现，对大多数孩子来说是一种安全的发泄方式。由此可知，枕头战是自然状态中的游戏，没有比赛规则的。故选A。

【2】根据上一句Before the match begins, all team members pretend to sleep beneath the quilt on individual futons (垫子).(比赛开始前，所有队员都要假装睡在各自的蒲团上)及下一句They cross the dividing line, grabbing a pillow as they go.(他们越过了分界线，一边走一边抓着一个枕头)可知，此处指比赛开始。由此可知，G选项When the referee blows the whistle，the players leap to their feet.(裁判吹哨子，比赛选手立刻站起来)符合文意。故选G。

【3】本句是主旨句，根据本段下文的描述可知，第三自然段主要介绍了枕头战的规则。由此可知，F选项The rules in this competitive game are not complicated.(这种竞赛的规则并不复杂) 符合文意。故选F。

【4】根据后一句The youngest player so far recorded was 9，the eldest 75.可知，目前记录中最年轻的选手是9岁，最年长的75岁。由此可知，B选项There are no age restrictions.(没有年龄限制)符合文意。故选B。

【5】根据空前No word yet on its Olympics prospects. But with skateboarding officially in可知，尽管还没有只言片语谈到枕头战的奥运前景，但是滑板已正式列为奥运项目，想必枕头战应该也不会太远了吧。故选C。
