【解析】

【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国饮茶这一传统文化的特点。

【1】考查形容词。中国的茶文化令人大为惊奇。分析句子结构可知，空处在句中作表语，且主语是物，故应该填形容词amazing。

【2】考查介词。在饮茶出现在欧洲之前，它已经在中国广泛流行了大约一千年。文章开头提到中国的茶文化有悠久的历史，本句进一步证明了这一点，所以空处应填before＂在……之前＂。

【3】考查非谓语动词。现在很多人去装修豪华的茶馆谈生意。空处在句中作目的状语，应用不定式结构，故填to talk。

【4】考查冠词。很多因素促成一次美好的体验。根据句意和空格后的＂enjoyable experience＂可知此处应用不定冠词an表示泛指。

【5】考查定语从句。在过去，饮茶是在＂清泉石上流＂这样的环境中进行的。分析句子结构可知，空处在此引导定语从句，修饰先行词setting，并且在从句中作地点状语，故填关系副词where。

【6】考查动词的时态和语态。现在，为了创造这种氛围，茶馆使用传统的画作和家具来装饰。此处描述现在的情况，应用一般现在时;又teahouses和decorate之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态。故填are decorated。

【7】考查名词。另外，还总是会有中国传统乐器的表演。结合空格前的a和空格后的of可知此处应填名词performance。

【8】考查非谓语动词。泡茶所用的水也很重要。Water与use之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故应用过去分词作后置定语，填used。

【9】考查时态和主谓一致。红茶、绿茶、乌龙茶和普洱茶在人们最喜欢的茶中排名前四。本文的基本时态是一般现在时，故此处亦用一般现在时。由together with连接的短语作主语时，谓语动词应与前面的主语(Red tea)保持一致，应用第三人称单数。故填ranks。

【10】考查副词。前三种茶叶都是以相似的方法加工出来的，但是普洱茶的加工则是用了一种完全不同的方法。空处修饰形容词different，故应用副词totally。
