【解析】

试题分析：

 本文的第一句含义为曾今有一个美国人在法国，表示在某地，某个大地点通常用介词in，故本题的空格处填in。

 根据后文可知这个美国人不会说法语，或只能说很少的法语，故本题的空格处填little或no。

 根据本题后半句went into a restaurant，意思为他走进餐厅，以及下句The American was angry ，because he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry.可以推断出美国人在街道上走了的时候感到饿了，故本题的空格处填hungry。

 这个美国人不会说法语，所以想通过身体语言来买东西，所以本句的意思为把手指放进嘴里，代指把东西放进嘴里，这样的意思才符合文意，put表示放的意思，所以本题的空格处应该填put。

 他通过一系列的动作是想告诉服务员，他想吃东西，给他拿一些东西来才对，something表示某东西，故本题的空格处填something。

 本句后半句中出现的茶，咖啡和牛奶，都是喝的东西，所以此句he waiter brought him lots of things to____,的意思为服务员为他带来了一些喝的东西才对，故空格处填喝的单词drink。

 根据后文可知，这个美国人想要吃的东西是食物，而不是饮料，所以本空应填食物的单词food。

 根据上文可以判断出最后一句的含义应该是这个英国人把手放在肚子上，用同样的方式吃了他的一顿饭，故本题空格处填同样的单词same。

考点：本文是一篇介绍不会说法语的美国人在法国购物难的经历。
