本文主要向我们介绍了读书的好处。世界读书日是每年的4月23日，它是由联合国教科文组织在1955年成立，鼓励人们，尤其是青少年，发现阅读的乐趣。下文介绍了英国和中国为了鼓励人们在世界读书日多读书而采取的行动。最后具体介绍了读书对一个人和对国家的好处。

【1】句意：它鼓励人们，特别是青少年，找到阅读的乐趣。A. listening听；B. speaking说；C. reading读；D. writing写。根据第一段前文World Book Day falls on April 23 every year世界读书日是每年的4月23日，推测这里表达读书的乐趣，故选C。

【2】句意：在英国的那一天，数以百万计的学生可以在任何一家书店买到特价书，价格比平时都要低得多。A. more cheap表达错误，cheap的比较级为cheaper；B. more expensive 更贵；C. lower更低；D. higher更高。为了鼓励学生多读书而推出特价书，也就是价格比平时要低一些，故答案为C。

【3】句意：2009年世界读书日，他建议人们多读书。A. allowed允许；B. ordered命令；C. advised建议；D. introduced介绍。advise sb. to do sth.建议某人做某事。结合句意可知，答案为C。

【4】句意：他认为年轻人应该花费更多的时间来读书。spend time in doing sth.花费时间做某事，故答案为B。

【5】句意：书籍不能改变世界，但人们可以通过阅读改变自己来改变世界。A. ourselves我们自己；B. yourselves你们自己；C. themselves他们自己；D. itself它自己。根据第二段前文but people can change the world by changing但是人们通过改变…可以改变世界，此处people指的就是人们自己，属于第三人称复数，故选C。

【6】句意：阅读有助于我们更多地了解世界。根据前后句“Reading is helpful to people in many ways. Reading provides us with information about other cultures.”可知，本句的时态为一般现在时，动名词reading作主语，视作单数，动词要用三单形式，故答案为B。

【7】句意：我们必须用我们的大脑去思考这些问题，或者做更多的阅读来找出答案。use sth．to do sth. 用某物去做什么。因此选择动词不定式，故选B。

【8】句意：我们读得越多，知道的越多。我们知道的越多，就越聪明。A. good好的；B. prettier更漂亮的；C. cleverer更聪明的；D. outgoing外向的。此处运用的是“the+比较级，the+比较级”，意思是“越……越……”，排除A,D；知道的越多，人就会更聪明，不能说越漂亮，故答案选C。

【9】句意：阅读也是学习像英语等外语最重要的方法之一。A. like像；B. at在；C. about 关于；D. towards朝着。英语是外语的一种，故答案为A。

【10】句意：读书使人充实。A. lives居住；B. makes使成为；C. gives给；D. has有。结合句意可知，答案为B。

完形填空考查的是单词、语法、句式等的综合能力，对于每个学生来说都是难点。在所给的每篇文章中都有一定量的生词，要通过语法关系，猜测整句句义，然后做题。 这就要求你既要有足够的单词量，还要有对整句的把握能力。首先花几分钟进行整体的阅读，弄清楚时间，人物及情节。不提倡看一个做一个，平时的学习中要注意多积累固定句型，考试时才能准确判断出相应的知识点。如果是考查名词，动词的词义辨析，一定要结合上下文去找出相关的信息，切记要有耐心。
