【解析】

【语篇解读】文章讲述了“神农”发现茶叶妙用的故事。

【1】 考查副词。修饰谓语动词“can be confirmed”应该用副词。故填roughly。

【2】 考查非谓语。分析句子结构可知，此处是person的定语。当名词前面有序数词修饰的时候， 后面跟不定式作定语。故填to discover。

【3】 考查名词。此处指“中草药”，在形容词后面用名词。故填medicine。

【4】 考查时态。根据连词and可知，此处是句子的谓语；全文讲述过去的事情，所以用一般过去时态。 故填lay。

【5】 考查非谓语。此处运用了“notice sb./ sth. doing…”结构，fragrant leaves与 drop之间是主动关 系，用现在分词作补语。故填dropping。

【6】 考查介词短语。out of curiosity and habit是固定搭配，指“出于好奇和习惯”。故填of。

【7】 考查短语。after a little while是固定搭配，指“一会儿后”。故填a。

【8】 考查形容词。与and之前的well相一致，此处需要形容词，指“他感觉好了，精力充沛了”。 故填energetic。

【9】 考查连词。本句运用了定语从句，先行词是more leaves，指物；引导词在从句中作主语。故 填which。

【10】 考查副词。根据句意可知，此处要用比较级，指“睡得更少”。故填less。
