(2022·浙江绍兴·中考真题)
It was the first time Moham went to a restaurant in his new neighborhood. He looked up at the menu board, and ____1____ how he could understand what all of these strange names meant. Moham decided that he would ____2____ ask the waitress for ice cream in a cup. She smiled brightly, wrote down his ____3____ and disappeared behind the big glass display case (陈列柜).
A moment later, she came back with a tall paper cup. ____4____ it was a long straw (吸管) and some kind of drink. Moham, quite ____5____, took the cup and thanked her, thinking about the possibility that he had used wrong words.
“It’s the soda you ordered,” ____6____ said, “an ice cream drink in a cup.”
He smiled at the waitress, pointed at one of the ____7____ in the display case, and said, “That one, please,” which seemed to ____8____ better.
Moham took the cake and his unexpected soda to a table and sat down to eat. Why was it that English had been so ____9____ for him in his classes in Tunisia, but when it came to ____10____ speaking, he couldn’t even get what he wanted to eat?
Just then, a girl, who sat at the next table and had watched the whole ____11____, smiled at him and said, “Hey, welcome to our beautiful city!
