文章大意：文章详细介绍了除了水以外世界上最流行的饮品——茶的历史。茶叶是偶然间被神农发现的，发现之后就一直受到人们的欢迎，直到现在，有很多品种的茶叶受人们喜爱。

【1】句意：根据一个古老中国传说，神农氏在用明火烧水的时候发现了茶。

根据语境可知，前后两个动作应是同时发生的，结合首字母w可知要用when或while表示“当……的时候”。故答案为when/while。

【2】句意：附近灌木上的一些叶子落进水里，并在那里待了一些时间。

根据下文“the leaves in the water”及首字母提示可知要填leaves。故答案为leaves。

【3】句意：神农注意到水中的树叶产生了一种芳香。

根据语境可知此处应该是发现或闻到了一种香味，结合首字母n可推测要用notice表示“注意到”，由上下文可知要用一般现在时。故答案为noticed。

【4】句意：随后，他决定尝尝这种热混合物。

根据语境可知是注意到香味之后才尝的，结合首字母L可知要用Later表示“随后”。故答案为Later。

【5】句意：令他惊讶的是，它竟然非常美味。

根据上文“he decided to taste the hot mixture”可知接下来提到尝出来的味儿，上下文多次提到茶是很流行的饮品结合首字母d可推知是美味的。故答案为delicious。

【6】句意：中国是拥有四千多年历史的茶的故乡。

根据常识可知我国有四千多年，结合首字母o可知要用over来表示超过四千。故答案为over。

【7】句意：茶也被世界上许多人所饮用。

下文紧接着讲茶在世界范围内的传播，此处是说世界上许多人都喝茶，结合首字母n可推测此处用a large number of表示“许多，大量”。故答案为number。

【8】句意：茶叶主要产于长江以南的浙江、江西、福建等省份，因为那里气候宜人、土壤肥沃。

根据下文“in the provinces of Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian”结合首字母s可知要用south表示长江以南。故答案为south。

【9】句意：龙井、乌龙、铁观音和普洱都是著名的茶品种。

【10】句意：经过过去的几个世纪，中国人已经发展了他们自己的茶文化，包括种茶、采茶、沏茶等等。

根据题干可知这里定语从句的先行词是tea culture，种茶、采茶、沏茶等包含在茶文化内；结合首字母i可推出用include表示“包括”，先行词是不可数名词，从句主语用第三人称单数形式。故答案为includes。
