【解析】短文详细的介绍了关于茶的一些事情，包括茶叶开始被饮用的时间，在史书中的记载，被传播到国外的时间和发展情况等。

【1】句意：据说，一位名叫神农的中国统治者首先发现了茶作为饮料。过去分词用作后置定语，答案为called。

【2】句意：有一天，神农在火上煮饮用的水。此处用动名词作定语修饰名词，表示用途，故答案为drinking。

【3】句意：一些茶树的叶子掉进水里，在那里停留了一段时间。短文是介绍茶的由来，最初是树上的叶子偶然掉进水里而发现有奇异的香味的，因此要填写名词的复数leaves。

【4】句意：世界上最受欢迎的饮料之一被发明了。文章都是用一般过去时态来表达的，根据句意以及句子结构可知，此处考查一般过去时态的被动语态，填写助动词was/were，主语one of the world’s favorite drinks为单数形式，故答案为was。
