【解析】

试题分析：亚当以前经常喝咖啡，最近没有喝，结果状态差，出现头疼，精力不集中等现象。

【1】felt 考查时态。空格后面的从句用的was making过去进行时，包括后面一句He also complained of…也是过去时，那么本句也是过去式，故用felt。

【2】it代词。It指代后面的不定式，make it +adj. to do使做某事怎么样。句意为：最近亚当发现喝太多的咖啡让他难以入睡。

【3】without考查介词。根据上一段最后一句So he decided to stop drinking coffee.他决定不再喝咖啡，可知这天早上没有喝咖啡，故用without。

【4】terrible考查形容词。Condition名词，修饰名词用形容词，故用terrible。句意为：11点的时候，亚当状态很差。

【5】impossible考查形容词。根据64空所在的句子，状态很差，说明没有办法集中精力，故用possible的否定形容，即impossible。

【6】found考查非谓语动词。Caffeine, a chemical (find) in coffee, was most likely the reason for how Adam felt. a chemical (find) in coffee是Caffeine的同位语，所以这里应该是个定语修饰a chemical, find和a chemical是动宾关系，那么要用过去分词形式，即found。句意为：咖啡因，一种从咖啡里发现的化学药品，是亚当不舒服的原因。

【7】that/which考查关系代词。空格后面是个定语从句修饰stimulant，从句中少主语，且指代物，故用关系代词that或 which。句意为：咖啡因是一种可以提高能量，促进精力集中的刺激物。

【8】loss考查名词。咖啡因少了，引起头疼和精力不集中，这里需要用名词形式，故用loss。

【9】taking考查非谓语动词。Suggest doing sth固定结构，建议做某事，故用taking。句意为：医生建议吃些阿斯匹林。

【10】better考查比较级。不到一个星期，他会感觉好多了，和现在的状态做比较，故用比较级，即better。
