答案解析
正确答案：A
解析：
这是一道典型的英语完形填空/语法选择题。我们需要分析第3空的语境和语法结构来确定正确答案。
**1. 语境分析**
* **句子位置**：This area is ____3____ Chinatown.
* **上下文含义**：前一句提到“20世纪50年代，许多中国人在伦敦中心的Soho区定居”。本句意在说明这个区域被**称为**“唐人街”。
**2. 语法结构分析**
* **主语**：This area（这个区域）。
* **谓语动词**：is（系动词）。
* **逻辑关系**：“区域”与“称呼”之间是被动关系，即“这个区域**被叫做**唐人街”，而不是“这个区域主动去叫某人/某物”。
**3. 选项辨析**
* **A. called**：过去分词。在此处构成被动语态 `is called`（被称为……），或者作为过去分词作表语/后置定语修饰 area（名为……的区域）。符合“被动”含义。
* *结构解析*：`be called + 名称` 是固定搭配，意为“被称为……”。
* **B. call**：动词原形。如果填入，句子变成 `This area is call...`，语法错误。系动词 is 后不能直接跟动词原形构成谓语；若理解为进行时 `is calling`，则缺少 -ing，且语意上“区域正在打电话/呼叫”不合逻辑。
* **C. calling**：现在分词。表示主动或进行。`This area is calling Chinatown` 意为“这个区域正在呼叫唐人街”，语意不通，因为区域没有生命，不能发出“叫”这个动作。
**4. 结论**
根据“被动语态”的原则，表示“某地被称作……”应使用 `be called`。因此，正确形式是过去分词 **called**。
**正确答案：A**
