【解析】

本文主要介绍了World Read Aloud Day（世界朗读日）。

【1】 was started 考查动词的时态和语态。World Read Aloud Day在2010年由LitWorld.org发起。根据语境可知，此处需要用start的被动形式，又因时间状语是“in 2010”，故用一般过去时。

【2】 The/Its 考查形容词性物主代词或冠词。它的目的是鼓励全世界不能阅读的人享受一本书带来的好处。

【3】to celebrate 考查动词不定式。ask sb.to do sth.“要求某人做某事”，网站要求每个人通过拿本书、找到一位听众、大声阅读的方式来庆祝这个节日。

【4】belongs 考查主谓一致。这正是采取行动向世界表明阅读和写作的权利属于所有的人。根据句子成分可知，从句的主语为the right，故填belongs。

【5】 the 考查冠词。the number of ...是固定搭配，表示“……的数量”。

【6】 absolutely 考查词性转换。帮助那些不能阅读的人是完全有必要的。修饰形容词necessary，应用所给词的副词形式。

【7】 whoever 考查宾语从句。是开始为任何可能喜欢的人大声朗读的时候了。whoever引导宾语从句且在从句中作主语。

【8】 to 考查介词。当他们与你分享时，你要耐心地倾听别人的故事。listen to是固定词组。

【9】and 考查连词。根据语境和句子成分可知，前后表示并列关系。

【10】 difference 考查词性转换。make a difference“有作用，有影响”，根据空前的冠词可知，此处应用所给词的名词形式。
