【解析】

试题分析：作者十分喜爱中国的烹饪艺术，因此仔细研究了中国的烹饪艺术，发现是当时中国的一次能源危机使得中国人在烹饪上更快，并且极少用木材，所以保持了食物新鲜的味道。

【1】where/ in which，考查定语从句。句意：我的办公室离唐人街不远，在那里我可以找到很棒的中国餐厅。这里需要关系词引导前面的Chinatown，而Chinatown是地点名词，所以应该用where/ in which连接，故填where/ in which。

【2】noticed，考查时态。句意：我察觉到肉和蔬菜新鲜的味道。文章整体用的过去时，表示过去发生的事情，所以这里应该也用过去时态，故填noticed。

【3】it，考查代词。句意：当我更多地了解食物时，我明白了为什么食物会用特别之处。这里需要一个代词指代前面的food，故填it。

【4】an，考查冠词。句意：很多年以前，中国有一次能源危机。这里应该用冠词表示“一次”，又引文energy是元音字母开头，故填an。

【5】loss，考查名词。句意：这个损失对这个城市而言非常糟糕。这里应该是名词作主语，而lose是动词，所以应该填名词形式，故填loss。

【6】valuable，考查形容词。句意：所以中国人要么需要找到珍贵木材的替代品，要么就是学习如何把木材更好地运用。这里是形容木材的珍贵，故填valuable。

【7】cooking，考查单词形式。句意：为了在烹饪上节省，中国人需要极少地运用木材。cook表示“厨师，厨子”，cooking表示“烹饪”，这里表示的是烹饪，故填cooking。

【8】faster考查形容词比较级。句意：通过这种方式，食物烹饪地更快，而且节省了更多的原料。这里表示的是比之前更快，所以应该用比较级，故填faster。

【9】prepared考查定语从句。句意：通过这种方式烹饪地食物可以保持新鲜的味道。这里原句应该是The food (that was) prepared in this way kept its fresh flavor，表示“被准备的食物”，故填prepared。

【10】that，考查强调句的用法。句意：就是这种味道吸引了其他国家的人来领略中国的烹饪艺术。It’s...that...是强调句的固定用法，表达对某种事物的强调，故填that。
