32．答案：①invlves②be fund③hw④quantities⑤Making⑥that⑦typically⑧length⑨a⑩t cmbine
解析：①考查谓语动词。句意：在中国，即使对最有成就的厨师来说，烹饪也需要用手头的食材即兴发挥：感觉和味道。设空处在句中作谓语，叙述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语为cking，谓语动词应用单数的形式，故填invlves。
②考查动词语态。句意：事实上，在传统的中国厨房里是找不到计时器和量杯的。设空处在句中作谓语，和句子的主语之间是被动关系，空前为wn’t，设空处为一般将来时的被动语态，故填be fund。
③考查宾语从句。句意：中国厨师也不会问他或她如何做一道菜时，给出明确的食材数量和确切的烹饪时间，因为在中国烹饪界，几乎不存在这样具体的指示。设空处引导宾语从句且在句中作方式状语，应用hw“如何。故填hw。
④考查名词复数。句意见上题解析。设空处应用名词的形式作介词的宾语，前无限定词，应用复数的形式，表泛指。故填quantities。
⑤考查非谓语动词。句意：做中餐很费时间。设空处为非谓语动词在句中作主语，ding主要用来表示经常性、习惯性、抽象性发生的行为，设空处应用动名词作主语，位于句首，首字母应大写。故填Making。
⑥考查表语从句。句意：原因之一是，烹饪前的准备工作需要时间，因为同一道菜的食材通常被切成均匀的形状，最好是切成一口大小的块。设空处引导表语从句，从句句意完整不缺成分，应用只起连接作用、无实意的that引导。故填that。
⑦考查副词。句意见上题解析。设空处修饰谓语动词，应用副词typically“通常”，作状语。故填typically。
⑧考查名词。句意：中国烹饪根据食材的性质、烹饪时间的长短和热度的不同，采用不同的方法。设空处作介词的宾语，应用名词length，表示抽象概念，为不可数名词。故填length。
⑨考查冠词。句意：几乎每个中国厨房都有蒸笼。设空处后为名词单数，表泛指“一个蒸笼”，应用不定冠词，空后bamb为辅音音素开头的单词，应用a。故填a。
⑩考查非谓语动词。句意：一个好的厨师知道使用哪些技术来将食材的自然风味结合起来，以达到最好的口感和营养。设空处在句中作非谓语，固定短语use sth t d sth“用某物做某事”。故填t cmbine。

解析：1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“突然，吉尔伯特的眼睛睁大了。‘我们的足迹！’他说。”可知，第一段可描写作者兄弟俩如何消除“作案”痕迹，并顺利把树扛回了家，并博得大家好评，但是作者内心不安。
②由第二段首句内容“所以当我发现在平安夜，格林先生和我的父母在我们家喝茶时，我很震惊。”可知，第二段可描写内疚的作者在听到格林先生谈及那棵树时，勇敢承认了自己的错误，而对方对这事也一笑了之了。作者也因此找回了自己内心最好的品质。
2.续写线索：树下趴下擦足迹——扛树回家得赞美——格林先生来访话圣诞树——作者勇敢把错认——得到原谅终释怀
