本文為一篇說明文。文章介紹了茶葉和茶文化由中國走向了世界。

【1】考查介詞。句意：在中國古代，茶可能被用作調(diào)味品和藥物。結合句意可知，as作介詞，可意為“作為，用作”的意思。故填as。

【2】考查形容詞。句意：人們認為它是健康的，部分是因為它是用開水制成的，在受污染的水域里飲用更安全。分析句子可知，在be動詞后用形容詞作表語，結合所給名詞提示，填health的形容詞形式healthy。故填healthy。

【3】考查不定式。句意：人們認為它是健康的，部分是因為它是用開水制成的，在受污染的水域里飲用更安全。分析句子可知，此處為it is + adj. + for sb. to do sth結構，safer to drink意為“飲用更健康”。故填to drink。

【4】考查名詞單復數(shù)。句意：茶逐漸成為中國人生活的七大必需品之一。分析句子可知，結合前文one of后用名詞復數(shù)，necessity的復數(shù)形式為necessities。故填necessities。

【5】考查定語從句。句意：據(jù)傳，805年，一位日本高僧訪華歸來后，將茶引入日本。分析句子可知，本句為定語從句，先行詞in 805為時間狀語，when引導定語從句在句中做時間狀語。故填when。

【9】考查現(xiàn)在分詞。句意：到1700年，茶葉產(chǎn)量增加到10000噸，居歐洲首位。分析句子可知，茶葉的產(chǎn)量與排名為邏輯上的被動關系，ranking主動表被動在句中作狀語。故填ranking。

【10】考查名詞。句意：盡管有來自軟飲料和咖啡的競爭，但對茶的需求仍在繼續(xù)增長。分析句子，結合前文定冠詞the，及所給提示詞，可知所填空處填compete的名詞形式competition。故填competition。
