【解析】

試題本文介紹了一位32歲的英國人被京劇所吸引，放棄了在倫敦的工作，來到了一所京劇學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)，并致力于這項藝術(shù)的傳播和發(fā)展。

【1】根據(jù)前文On stage, the Beijing Opera actors not only act, they also sing and dance while performing some difficult movements(動作).可知，后文Everything seemed difficult and far from what he had imagined.（一切似乎都很困難，與他的想象相去甚遠）承接上文，everything指代act、sing和dance等。所以 ①處，選A項。 根據(jù)前一段內(nèi)容 “面對京劇將被許多人忘記” 和前一句Pourazar has decided what to do可知，下文會涉及“發(fā)揚傳播京劇”方面的話題。所以選項C.He wants to let more people know Beijing Opera.符合語境。故本題答案為：A.C。

【2】you代詞，你們，在句中作主語；created謂語動詞，創(chuàng)造；this amazing thing.神奇的東西； but轉(zhuǎn)擇連詞，但是；now 副詞，現(xiàn)在；you are forgetting it你們正在忘記它；throwing it away扔掉它。所以答案為：你們創(chuàng)造了這個奇妙的事物，但是現(xiàn)在卻正在遺忘它，拋棄它。

【3】根據(jù)第一段“I first saw Beijing Opera in London in 1993, and it just shocked me. It was really amazing,” says Ghaffar Pounazar.可知Pounazar放棄工作來學(xué)京劇的原因，是因為他認為京劇是神奇的，或者說因為他喜歡京劇。所以答案為：Because he thought Beijing Opera was amazing或者 Because he liked Beijing Opera.
