【解析】

试题分析：通过本文考查词汇在语境中的正确运用能力。包括动词的时态，非谓语动词，副词，代词，连词，冠词等。

1.amazing 考查形容词。句意：我听说中国的茶艺很令人惊奇的。amazing是形容词，令人惊奇的。

2.where考查形容词。 _________“spring water ran on marbles” or “ in the woods during sunset.” .是定语从句修饰前面的地点 a setting(背景)，在从句中需要一个地点副词where。

3.At 考查介词短语。at present现在。

4.are decorated 考查谓语动词的被动语态。teahouses 是名词复数做主语，和谓语动词是逻辑上的动宾关系。所以用are decorated。

5.performance 考查名词。句意：经常在品茶的时候要用中国的乐器演奏如古筝。所以用名词形式。

6.what 考查主语从句。 _____ people use是主语从句，在从句中what做宾语。

7.speaking 考查固定搭配。Generally speaking 是固定搭配，意思是：一般说来。

8.totally 考查副词，一般用副词修饰形容词，different是形容词，所以用副词totally修饰。

9.a 考查固定搭配。As a matter of fact 固定词组，事实上。

10. 考查非谓语动词的用法。这里用动词不定式表目的。人们经常去装饰豪华的茶馆去谈生意。

考点：语篇理解以及语法知识。
