【5】who

【解析】

本文向我们介绍了美国全国读书日，告诉并鼓励我们多读书。

【1】句意：为了让孩子们对阅读感到兴奋，全国读书日每年都会被举行。

分析句子可知，此处主语It是动作celebrate的承受者，所以需用被动语态，又因为句中有时间状语every year，所以是主语为单数的一般现在时的被动语态，故填is。

【2】句意：苏斯博士是二十世纪最著名的儿童文学作家之一。

分析句子可知，此处用于最高级best之前，所以需加定冠词，构成“the+最高级”结构，故填the。

【3】句意：在这一天，国家教育协会(NEA)提出了创立一个庆祝阅读的日子的想法，并为孩子、家长和老师们提供了阅读材料。

分析句子可知，此处构成“come up with”结构，是固定搭配，翻译为“想出，提出”，故填with。

【4】句意：演员、体育明星和其他名人也给年轻读者布置阅读任务。

分析句子可知，此处表示“也”的含义，用于句末且句子是肯定句，故填too。

【5】句意：根据一项研究，花很多时间读书的孩子在学校的表现比那些不读书的孩子要好。

分析句子可知，此处是定语从句，先行词是those指代those children，指人，可以用who/that，又因为其前的定语从句“children who spend a lot of time reading perform better in school”使用了who作引导词，为保持一致，故填who。
