【原文大意】WilliamC.Stokoe博士是Gallaudet大学英语系主任。他看到失聪人用手语交流非常感兴趣。这种方式对他来说非常新鲜。Stokoe决定做手语研究。其他教师并不感兴趣,并且认为他研究手语简直是疯狂,甚至失聪教师对这个项目也不感兴趣。但Stokoe博士没有放弃,相反,l957年他开始了语言学研究项目。他和两个失聪助理一起在夏天和课余从事这项研究。这三个研究人员拍了失聪人手语的电影。拍电影的失聪人并不知道这个研究是什么,只是对他表示友好。许多人都认为这项研究很愚蠢,但同意他这样做也仅是为了让他高兴。Stokoe和他的小组研究了手语的电影,分析并寻找这些手势的模式。这个研究的结果是令人吃惊的:所有手语者使用的手势都遵循了一定的语言学的规则。Stokoe博士是第一位把美国手语作为真正的语言来研究的语言学家。1960年他发表了研究结果,但并没有多少人注意这项研究。Stokoe博士仍然独自研究——他是唯一相信手语并不仅仅是手势的语言学家。他认为手语是它自身的一种语言,并不是另外一种形式的英语。解答完型填空最好是把开头的几个空填好。头几个空填好了,后面就很容易了。考生如能将文章的开头和大意理解正确,填空时只需注意该空的前后一两句就能快速找出正确答案。【解析】Sbbeinterestedinsth某人对某事感兴趣。下一句说手语对他这样听力健全的人来说是全新的事。第二段又说他如何组织做手语的研究,所以他不会感到羞耻(ashamed)或无聊(bored)。Beinvolved有被卷入、涉及的意思,与文章意思不符。
