【9】easily

【10】but

【解析】 本文屬于飲食類。主要講述茶是世界上最受歡迎的飲料之一，及喝茶的作用，茶的種植。

【1】drinks

考查名詞的復數(shù)。句意：茶是世界上最受歡迎的飲料之一。根據(jù)句意可知是最受歡迎的飲料之一，應該是復數(shù)，故用drinks.

【2】dried

考查過去分詞作狀語。句意：你可以熱水泡干的茶葉。根據(jù)常識可知茶葉是烘干的，故要用dried作定語，被燒壞的，dried。

【3】dying

考查固定搭配。句意：今天的科學家們知道，茶葉中含有的化學物質(zhì)，可防止細胞死亡。prevent sh. from doing sth.阻止某事的發(fā)生。故選dying。

【4】sleeplessness

考查名詞作賓語。句意：它會導致失眠。動詞cause后要跟名詞作賓語，故要用sleepessness。

【5】where

考查定語從句。茶樹在熱帶和溫帶地區(qū)生長最好，那里全年有雨水降落。先行詞places 在從句中作地點狀語，故用where。

【6】to

考查固定搭配。句意：茶葉可以從海平面生長到2000米左右。from…to…,從……到……，故選to。

【7】comes

考查謂語動詞。句意：茶來自茶樹的葉子和芽。Tea 是個不可數(shù)名詞，謂語動詞要用單數(shù)，故用 comes。

【8】are cut

考查謂語動詞的時態(tài)和語態(tài)。句意：野生植物可以高達9米，茶園里的植物被削減到約一米的灌木叢。他們(植物)是被砍，是復數(shù)。故要用被動。

【9】easily

考查副詞修飾動詞。句意：工人可以把樹葉很容易地摘下來。Easy修飾動詞pull，形容詞不能修飾動詞，故用副詞easily。

【10】but

考查轉(zhuǎn)折連詞。大茶園的葉子是由機器收割，但是手工采摘的茶葉 質(zhì)量更高。分析句意可知兩句是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故用but。
