五、阅读理解。
A British man has learned the skills needed to perform(表演) Beijing Opera. In this way, he made the audience(观众) enjoy his lively performance of the Monkey King.
Ghaffar Pourazar, born in Iran, became interested in Chinese culture when he was a child. In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera in London performed by actors from Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing. Ghaffar said he fell in love with the beautiful voices, colourful costumes, excellent shows and so on. So after one year, he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a Beijing school.
At the age of 32, he had to learn with teenage students every day, starting from the most basic training of the legs and waist. At that time, he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera. To him, it was the biggest obstacle. But he never gave up.
Four years later, he began to learn to perform the Monkey King. He always arrived in the workroom an hour earlier than other performers and also bought books and CDs to better understand the character.
Ghaffar today is not only good at speaking Beijing dialect(方言) but has also attracted many fans of his performance. In the past 10 years, he has performed in more than 400 shows. He even got a top international prize for performing the Monkey King.

【分析】
这是一篇人物故事类阅读理解，解题时我们可以按照"题干划关键词→回原文定位对应内容→比对选项和原文信息"的思路逐步解题：
1. 第一题询问学京剧的年份，先找到原文提到的时间节点1993，再找后续的时间描述就能算出正确年份；
2. 第二题是词义猜测题，直接看划线单词前后的语境描述，结合前文提到的"被京剧对白困扰"的线索，就能推导出单词含义；
3. 第三题是信息判断题，逐个将选项和原文内容比对，排除和原文不符的错误选项，剩下的就是正确答案。
【解析】
1. 细节理解题：根据原文第二段内容"In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera in London performed by actors from Jingju Theatre Company of Beijing... So after one year, he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a Beijing school." 可知1993年他在伦敦观看了京剧，一年后也就是1994年来到北京学习京剧，答案选C。
2. 词义猜测题：根据划线词前一句"At that time, he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera." 可知他当时被京剧的对白深深困扰，说明对白是他学习路上最大的阻碍/问题，obstacle含义和problem一致，A选项chance（机会）、C选项topic（话题）、D选项dream（梦想）均不符合语境，答案选B。
3. 信息判断题：逐一比对选项：
A选项：原文仅提到他32岁时和十几岁的学生一起从基础功练起，完全没有提到他觉得这件事很羞耻，表述错误；
B选项：原文第四段提到他总是比其他表演者早到工作室一小时，还购买相关书籍和CD研究角色，说明他学习非常努力，该选项表述错误；
C选项：原文最后一段提到他去多国学校教授的是京剧这门传统艺术，并非北京方言，表述错误；
D选项：原文提到他拥有很多粉丝，10年演出超400场，还获得了美猴王表演的国际顶级奖项，说明他的京剧表演十分成功，表述正确。
答案选D。
