【答案与解析】
【文章大意】中国因为茶叶而出名，世界上很多人都喜欢喝中国的茶叶，因为他们觉得茶对健康是有好处的。Annie对中国的茶叶很感兴趣，李涛给她介绍了中国茶叶的生产过程。
46. produced 句意：中国的什么地方出产茶叶？根据句意可知，这里表示“生产茶叶”，应选择动词produce，主语tea与动词构成被动关系，应使用被动语态，故这里填过去分词produced。
47. widely 句意：例如安溪和杭州普遍地因为他们的茶叶也出名。这个空在谓语动词are known之间，应填一个副词，起修饰作用，结合句意可知，应填widely，意为“广泛地”。
48. how 句意：你能尽可能多地告诉我们怎样出产茶叶吗？空后是一个动词不定式，空前是tell me“告诉我……”，因此这里填疑问词how，构成how+动词不定式结构，在句中作宾语。
49. leaves 句意：当叶子长好的时候，他们用手工挑选，然后送去加工。根据文意可知，这里介绍了如何生产茶叶；上句话As far as I know, tea plants are grown on the sides of mountains.提到了茶树的生长，空后提到了去挑选，故可推测这里说的是“茶叶”，leaf是单数，根据空后的they are picked…可知，应填复数形式leaves。
50. seems 句意：好像全世界很多人都喝中国的茶叶。这里考查的是一个固定句型It seems that...“好像……”，对话使用的是一般现在时态，故应填三单形式seems。
