【解析】

文章讲英国男孩爱德华在北京上学，他第一次听京剧的时候觉得它又慢又无趣，后来学校音乐课上找京剧演员来教京剧，他逐渐爱上了京剧，并决定好好学习决不放弃。

1.句意：他来自英国，但他和父母来到了北京。

got得到；arrived at到达（后跟小地方）；arrived in到达（后跟大地方）；came来。根据句意可知设空处表示“到达”北京，排除A项；came是不及物动词，不能直接跟宾语，排除D项；“北京”是一个大地方，arrive后用介词in，故选C。

2.句意：在爱德华来中国之前，他对京剧一无所知。

something一些，用于肯定句；anything任何，用于否定句和疑问句；everything一切；nothing什么都没有。根据下文“When he first listened to Beijing Opera…”可知，他之前对京剧一点都不了解，排除AD；everything在否定句中表示部分否定，意为“并不是全部了解”，排除C项，故选B。

3.句意：当他第一次听到京剧，他不喜欢并觉得它太慢太无聊了。

beautiful漂亮的；different不同的；boring无聊的；interesting有趣的。根据上文“When he first listened to Beijing Opera, he didn’t like it…”可知，第一次听京剧时他并不喜欢，所以应该会觉得很无聊，故选C。

4.句意：一周后，爱德华开始在北京的一所中学学习。

working工作；studying学习；playing玩耍；living生活。根据in a middle school in Beijing可知，十四岁的爱德华去学校应该是学习的，故选B。

5.句意：他的学校让一些很棒的京剧演员教他们。

teach教；visit拜访；tell告诉；answer回答。根据上文“He started to learn Beijing Opera in the music class.”可知，他在音乐课上学京剧，所以这些京剧演员应该是来教他的，故选A。

6.句意：爱德华无法完全理解，但它听起来比之前有趣了一点儿，他变得对它感兴趣了。

so所以；if如果；and并且；but但是。根据“无法完全理解”和“它听起来比之前有趣了一点儿”可知，前后句意表示转折，应该用转折连词but，故选D。

7.句意：爱德华无法完全理解，但它听起来比之前有趣了一点儿，他变得对它感兴趣了。

sounded听起来；stayed保持；became变成；seemed似乎。根据“…it sounded a little more interesting than before…”可知，爱德华对京剧的态度有了转变，用became符合题意，故选C。

8.句意：我真的爱京剧，并且当我长大了我想成为一名歌手。

teacher老师；singer歌手；doctor医生；violinist小提琴手。根据下文“I hope more people can hear my voice and love it.”可知，想要让人们听到自己的声音，应该是要当歌手，故选B。

9.句意：每个学京剧的人都应该努力并决不放弃！

who谁（作主语）；which哪个；whose谁的；whom谁（做宾语）。根据句子结构可知，设空处是定语从句的关系词，先行词Everyone指人，且关系词在从句中作主语，用who符合题意，故选A。

10.句意：每个学京剧的人都应该努力并决不放弃！

often经常；usually通常；always总是；never决不。根据try hard可知，努力学习就应该不要放弃，用never符合题意，故选D。
