【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲述了由the LitWorld.org website发起的World Read Aloud Day，其目的是鼓励全世界人们读书。

【1】was started 考查被动语态。根据下文的by the LitWorld.org website可知，本题为被动语态，再根据时间状语in 2010可知，时态为一般过去时，故填was started。

【2】Its/The 考查代词和冠词。根据上文可知这个目的是指World Read Aloud Day的目的，故为特指，用定冠词the，也可以用形容词性物主代词its，表示它的。

【3】to celebrate 考查不定式。本句考查ask sb. to do…，意为要求某人做某事。故填to celebrate。句意为：该网站要求所有人带着一本书，找到一个听众，大声朗读书给听众听来庆祝这一节日。

【4】belongs 考查主谓一致。本句主语为the right，故谓语动词应为belongs。句意为：它在采取这种行动向世界展示读书和写字的权利属于所有人。

【5】the 考查冠词。考查短语 the number of，意为…的数目，故填the。句意为：该网站要求所有的访客加入这一活动去减少世界上不识字的人的数目。

【6】absolutely 考查副词。考查修饰形容词用副词的用法，修饰necessary故填absolutely。句意为：这对于帮助那些无法阅读的人是绝对有必要的。

【7】whoever 考查名词性从句的连接词。介词to之后为宾语从句，宾语从句缺少主语且表示人，故考虑who和whoever。再根据句意，选择whoever。句意为：该是时间大声对着任何一个有可能喜欢这本书的人朗读了。

【8】to 考查短语。本句考查短语listen to，意为倾听。句意为：当别人与你分享某个人的故事时，请耐心地倾听。

【9】and 考查连词。本句考查连词，和前文之间存在并列关系，故填and。句意为：识字包含各种各样的学习，使得个体能够实现目标、扩展知识、完全融入社会。

【10】difference 考查名词。本句考查短语：make a difference，意为有影响、有区别、有意义。句意为：通过这种方式，世界大声朗读日确实有意义。
