【解析】

试题分析：每个人都需要睡眠，充足的睡眠对健康的意义非常重大。为了有一个良好的睡眠，需要考虑诸多因素，如时间，睡觉的场所及睡觉时的温度等。

【1】needed 考查非谓语动词。句意：个人所需的睡眠时间取决于他的年龄及睡觉的环境。分析可知the amount ofsleep与need之间为动宾关系，所以用need的过去分词形式作定语修饰the amount of sleep，表示“所需的睡眠时间”。故填needed。

【2】which 考查定语从句。句意：个人所需的睡眠时间取决于他的年龄及睡觉的环境。分析可知介词+which/whom引导定语从句，the conditions为先行词，所以选择which. 定语从句可还原为sleep takes place in the conditions.故填which。

【3】the 考查冠词。句意：年轻人可能比老年人需要更多的睡眠。分析可知the+adj.表示一类人，如the young年轻人；the poor穷人；the old老年人。故填the。

【4】less 考查代词。句意：有些人对睡眠的需求量可能比这个量要少，但有些人可能需要更多。根据后文others may need more可知此处应填“有些人需求量少”，故填less。

【5】but 考查连词。句意：有些人对睡眠的需求量可能比这个量要少，但有些人可能需要更多。根据less than this amount及后文many need more，可知前后文之间为转折关系。故填but。

【6】It 考查代词。句意：满足个人的需要是一个好的判断标准。分析可知it作形式主语，to satisfy his need为真正的主语。故填It。

【7】strength 考查词性。句意：充足的睡眠能够让人恢复精力并为一天的工作做好准备。分析可知此处应填strong的名词形式。strength：力量；长处；强项。故填strength。

【8】without 考查介词。句意：所以有些人认为在空气流通的环境中睡觉是有实际意义的，这并不无道理。withoutreason：不合情理；无缘无故。句中So it is not without reason for some people to think that it is practicable to sleep in the open air为双重否定表肯定的语气。故填without。

【9】neither 考查连词。句意：睡前一个不冷不热、温度适宜的沐浴可能会对睡眠有所帮助。分析可知neither hotnor cool but of body temperature表示“既不太冷又不太热，与体温适宜的温度。故填neither。

【10】考查被动语态。句意：除非医生建议，否则不要吃安眠药。分析可知句中出现省略，原句Sleep-producing drug should never be taken except when suggested by a doctor可还原为One should never take sleep-producing drug except when he is suggested by a doctor. 时间状语从句中he和suggest之间为动宾关系，且时间状语从句符合省略原则，所以将主语he和be动词is省略。故填suggested。
