【解析】

文章讲述邻居们找了一位手语老师学习手语以和一位失聪的孩子交流的故事。

1.句意：所有的邻居都喜欢这个漂亮可爱的女孩。

分析句子结构，此处考查谓语动词。根据前句中“lives”可知，此句时态为一般现在时。句子主语neighbors是复数。故填like。

2.句意：她想和人交谈。

分析句子结构，此处考查非谓语动词。want to do sth.想要做某事，为固定句型。故填to talk。

3.句意：当有人能和她交流时，她会感到很兴奋。

空格前有情态动词can，所以此处需填动词原形。故填communicate。

4.句意：无论何时他们看到她在散步或在她的院子里，Samantha 试图与他们交谈。

分析句子结构，此处考查谓语动词。根据句中“saw”可知，句子时态为一般过去时，此处需填动词的过去式。故填tried。

5.句意：现在她的邻居们正在上手语课。

分析句子结构，此处考查谓语动词。根据句中“Now”可知，句子时态为现在进行时（am/ is/ are +现在分词），主语her neighbors是复数。故填are taking。

6.句意：Rhys老师说：“这非常好，因为很多时候，即使是失聪儿童的父母也不愿意费心去学习手语。”

分析句子结构，此处考查非谓语动词。spend some time（in）doing sth.花费时间做某事，为固定结构。故填learning。

7.句意：他说这一定会让Samantha更快乐。

分析句子结构，此处考查谓语动词。根据语境，此处动作将要发生，需用一般将来时（will+动词原形）。故填willmake。

8.句意：事实上，他们说他们已经很长时间没有看到他们的女儿这么高兴了

分析句子结构，此处考查谓语动词。根据句中“for a long time”可知，句子时态为现在完成时（have/ has +过去分词）。结合句意及所给单词可知，此处意思为他们已经很长时间没有看到他们的女儿这么高兴了，表示否定意义。主语they为复数人称。故填haven't seen。

9.句意：当她走进教室的时候，他们正在上手语课。

分析句子结构，此处考查谓语动词。when从句是一般过去时，主句强调动作正在进行，即正在上手语课，所以主句时态为过去进行时（was/ were+现在分词）。主语they为复数人称。故填were working。

10.句意：我被感动了，我想你的心会像我的一样融化。

分析句子结构，此句是and连接的并列句。根据后一分句thought可知，前一分句也是一般过去时。主语I与动词move是被动关系，所以应是一般过去时的被动语态。故填was moved。
