【解析】文章介绍了中国书法的起源，特点等知识。

【1】 考查冠词。the most important…意为“最重要的……”，most important是important的最高级形式，最高级前加定冠词the。

【2】 考查代词。its是形容词性物主代词，意为“它的”，修饰后面的名词beauty, grace (优雅), and history。

【3】 考查名词。origin是名词，意为“起源”。该空谓语动词为are，根据主谓一致原则，主语要用名词复数形式。

【4】 考查介词。unite China as/into one country意为“把中国统一为一个国家”。

【5】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他简化了汉字，设立了法规，使得人们学习变得更容易。“making it easier for people to learn and master”是现在分词作结果状语。

【6】 考查副词。freely是副词，修饰动词write。句意：它（草书）书写随意，但读起来并不是那么容易。

【7】 考查非谓语动词。句意：今天，中国书法再次成为学校里学习的科目，也成为了全世界高度欣赏的一门艺术。“appreciated across the world”是过去分词作定语，修饰an art。an art和appreciate之间是被动关系。

【8】 考查名词性从句。句意：任何人都可以练习它（书法）。只需要一套简单的东西：毛笔，墨和纸。“what is required”是主语从句，该从句缺少主语，且表示名词意思“所需要的东西”，故该空填what。

【9】 考查时态和语态。主语为natural talent，该空作谓语。主语和need之间是被动关系，且该句介绍的客观事实，故该空要用一般现在时态。

【10】 考查名词。of是介词，后面接名词作宾语。of benefit意为“有益的”，相当于“beneficial”。
