19、dding water to the tea cup, there is _70_ saying: Wine full, the full cup.Tea half, half cup.For wine, the full cup symbolizes whole heartiness.For tea, the half cup means modesty.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国茶文化的历史、喝热茶的原因、喝茶礼仪、关于茶的俗语等。61which分析该句结构可知，此处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词“The Classic of Tea”，空处为关系词，指物，故填which。62
20、explanation根据空前的“detailed”可知，空处被形容词修饰，故用explain的名词形式。63itself句意：然而，中国的茶文化远超过茶本身。据此可知，空处用反身代词itself。64will be destroyed句意：如果水太热，茶叶中的营养将被破坏。根据句意可知，主语“nutrients (营养) in the tea”和动词destroy之间为被动关系，故用被动语态；根据该句结构可知，该句为复合句，在if引导的条件状语从句中用一般现在时代替一般将来时，主句则用一般将来时，故空处用一般将来时的被动语态。65leaves根据常识可知，该处应用所给词的复数形式。66tobe accustomed to 为固定搭配，意为“习惯于”。67constantly根据空后的动词add可知，空处修饰该动词，故用副词形式。68to offer分析该句结构可知，该句使用了“It is/was adj. to do sth.”的固定句式。It为形式主语，动词不定式作真正的主语。69taking分析该句结构可知，空处作伴随状语，因为take与其逻辑主语“the guests”之间是主动关系，故用现在分词形式。70a该处泛指“一句俗语”，且saying的读音以辅音音素开头，故用不定冠词a。
