Communication __6__ us is somewhat difficult because she doesn't speak English and all I can say in Chinese is hello. Once, she brought an iPad as well as the food. She pointed to the screen, __7__ showed a message from her daughter telling me that her mother wanted to know __8__ the food was all right for me.

　　So here we are, two grandmothers, neither of __9__ (we) able to speak the other's language but communicating one way or another (with some help from technology). The doorbell keeps __10__ (ring) and there is the familiar brown paper bag, handed smilingly to me.

语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了住在作者隔壁的中国老太太给作者送饭的故事。

　　1．is　句意：她的另一只手中是一个纸袋。联系上下文语境可知，此处应用一般现在时；本句是倒装结构，be动词的单复数与句子的主语a paper bag保持一致。故填is。

　　2．the　根据后面的"next door"可知，此处特指"隔壁的房子"，其前应用定冠词修饰。故填the。

　　3．obviously　句意：显然，Nicole已经告诉了她的母亲......分析句子结构可知，空格处作状语修饰整个句子。故填obviously。

　　4．to supply　decide to do sth.为固定搭配，意为"决定做某事"。故填to supply。

　　5．container　根据空格前的"a"和空格后的"with a meal of rice"可知，此处指"一个盛米饭的容器"。此处应用contain的名词形式container，意为"容器"。

　　6．between　根据语境可知，此处指"我们之间的交流"。between意为"在......(两者)之间"，符合句意。

　　7．which　分析句子结构可知，空格处引导非限定性定语从句。先行词为screen，指物，在从句中作主语，故用关系代词which引导从句。

　　8．if/whether　句意：......她母亲想知道饭菜是否合我的口味。分析句子结构可知，空格处引导宾语从句。if/whether意为"是否"，符合句意。故填if/whether。

　　9．us　空格处作of的宾语，应用宾格代词。故填us。

　　10．ringing　固定用法keep doing sth.意为"持续做某事"。此处指"门铃会一直响下去"。故填ringing。
