【解析】本文主要介绍了一个擅长表演京剧的外国青少年的故事。

【1】考查冠词。star是可数名词，且第一次在文章中出现，故用不定冠词修饰，形容词unlikely的读音以元音音素开头，故用an。

【2】考查非谓语动词。ability to do sth.意为“做某事的能力”，为固定词组搭配，故用不定式作后置定语。

【3】考查定语从句。who引导非限定性定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰先行词The teen。

【4】考查动词时态。since意为“自从”时，引导的状语从句中，从句用一般过去时，主句用现在完成时。

【5】考查代词。根据语境mouth和主语he可知，此处应用形容词性物主代词his修饰名词mouth，在句子中作定语。

【6】考查非谓语动词。know和句子谓语之间没有连词，故用非谓语动词，且know和其逻辑主语form是动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。

【7】考查名词。根据and可知，此处与名词voices呼应，故用名词的复数形式，即movements。

【8】考查形容词。由空后的名词cheers可知，此处应用形容词形式修饰名词，standing意为“站着进行的”，表示Tyler得到了（观众的）起立欢呼。

【9】考查介词。此处as意为“作为”，后跟名词、代词或动名词，与performed呼应，表示扮演的角色，符合语境。

【10】考查副词比较级。根据语境可知，此处表示“更多”的含义，故用副词比较级more修饰动词know。
