life”可知，所填词与explore(探索)在词义上相近，故选searching(寻找)。planning计划；natural自然的；formal正式的。42.A.progress   B.experienceC.major   D.opinion答案　B解析　根据语境可知，此处指作者发现了朝更好的方向改变自己大学经历(experience)的东西。另外，第三段中的“I had experienced”也给出了提示。progress进步；major专业；opinion观点。43.A.choose   B.readC.learn   D.create答案　C解析　后面一句提到作者的全家人及他所有的朋友都有听觉，因此他之前从没有想学(learn)手语的强烈愿望。另外，第四段中的“I only learned how to...”也给出了提示。choose选择；read阅读；create创造。44.A.official   B.foreignC.body   D.spoken答案　D解析　既然作者和家人及朋友都有听觉，那么在作者与别人的所有交往中口语(spoken languages)已经足够了。official language官方语言；foreign language外语；body language肢体语言。45.A.love   B.concernC.goal   D.request答案　A解析　由下文的内容尤其是最后一段中的“Now，I appreciate the silence...”可知，作者后来爱上了美式手语，但是刚开始的时候作者没有发现自己对它的喜爱(love)。concern关注；goal目标；request请求。46.A.meeting   B.tripC.story   D.task答案　C解析　由空格后面的内容可知，作者开始讲事情的经过了，故选story(故事)。meeting会议；trip旅行；task任务。47.A.recorded   B.performedC.recited   D.discussed答案　B解析　由空格前的watched(观看)和后面的the hand movements(手部的动作)以及what I saw(我所看见的)可知，作者是在观看美式手语俱乐部的成员表演(perform)他们对一首歌的诠释。record记录；recite背诵；discuss讨论。48.A.idea   B.amountC.dream   D.reason答案　A解析　根据语境可知，这里指的是无语言交流的想法(idea)。idea与前面的the hand movements并列。amount数量；dream梦想；reason原因。49.A.disturbed   B.supportedC.embarrassed   D.attracted答案　D解析　下文提到作者参加了美式手语俱乐部的一次会议并在下一学期参加了美式手语学习班的课程，由此可以看出，这种手部的动作以及无语言交流的想法吸引(attract)了作者。disturb打扰；support支持；embarrass使尴尬。50.A.end   B.pastC.course   D.distance答案　B解析　根据“I had experienced”所用的时态可知，它指的是作者过去的经历，故选past。in the past在过去，是固定搭配。in the end最后；in the course经常与of连用，意为“在……期间”；in the distance在远处。51.A.showing   B.actingC.saying   D.wanting答案　D解析　由下文中的further以及最后一段中提到作者参加了美式手语学习班的课程可知，这种新事物让作者想要(want)了解更多。show展示；act表现；say说。52.A.exercise   B.exploreC.express   D.explain答案　B解析　由第一段第一句中的explore可知，此处应填explore，指作者感受到了进一步探索的必要。exercise运动，锻炼；express表达；explain解释。53.A.print   B.writeC.sign   D.count答案　C解析　因为作者是在学习美式手语(American Sign Language)，所以他就得学会如何打手势。这里是说那天作者只学会了如何用手势表示(sign)字母表中的字母。print印刷；write写作；count数数。54.A.slow   B.steadyC.normal   D.obvious答案　A解析　由前面的being discouraged by(对……感到失望)可知，此处是说作者缓慢的(slow)进步。steady稳定的；normal正常的；obvious明显的。55.A.chair   B.sponsorC.attend   D.organize答案　C解析　虽然作者在学美式手语方面进步缓慢，但他还是感到很兴奋，因此他把出席那些会议并尽最大可能多学看作重要的事情。attend a meeting出席会议，是固定搭配。另外，本段第一句中的“drop in on one of ASL club’s meetings”也给出了提示。chair主持；sponsor赞助；organize组织。56.A.missed   B.passedC.gave up   D.registered for答案　D解析　后面讲的是课堂上的事情，由此可以推断出接下来的那个学期，作者注册参加了美式手语学习班的课程。register for注册，登记，是固定搭配，且符合此处的语境。miss错过；pass通过；give up放弃。57.A.prohibited   B.welcomedC.ignored   D.repeated答案　A解析　由空格前面的“the professor was deaf”可知，在课堂上是禁止(prohibit)说话的。welcome欢迎；ignore忽视；repeat重复。58.A.Lastly   B.ThusC.Instead   D.However答案　C解析　上一句中的“the silence was not unpleasant”是双重否定表示肯定，即“沉默并非不好”，也就是说“沉默是有好处的”；结合语境可知，本句讲的是交流(不沉默)的不良后果，由此可知前后两句所表达的是相反的情况，故应选instead(相反)。59.A.required   B.causedC.allowed   D.expected答案　B解析　相反，如果有任何交谈的话，那会导致学生们学到的更少。cause sb.to do sth.导致某人做某事，是固定搭配，且符合此处的语境。require要求；allow允许；expect预料。60.A.easy   B.popularC.quick   D.new答案　D解析　由第三段最后一句中的this newness可知，对作者来说，这是一种新的(new)交流方法，而不是容易的(easy)、流行的(popular)或迅速的(quick)方法。1.encourage
