【解析】文章介紹了中國書法的起源，特點(diǎn)等知識(shí)。

【1】考查冠詞。the most important…意為“最重要的……”，most important是important的最高級(jí)形式，最高級(jí)前加定冠詞the。

【2】考查代詞。its是形容詞性物主代詞，意為“它的”，修飾后面的名詞beauty, grace (優(yōu)雅), and history。

【3】考查名詞。origin是名詞，意為“起源”。該空謂語動(dòng)詞為are，根據(jù)主謂一致原則，主語要用名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式。

【4】考查介詞。unite China as/into one country意為“把中國統(tǒng)一為一個(gè)國家”。

【5】考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句意：他簡化了漢字，設(shè)立了法規(guī)，使得人們學(xué)習(xí)變得更容易�！癿aking it easier for people to learn and master”是現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語。

【6】考查副詞。freely是副詞，修飾動(dòng)詞write。句意：它（草書）書寫隨意，但讀起來并不是那么容易。

【7】考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句意：今天，中國書法再次成為學(xué)校里學(xué)習(xí)的科目，也成為了全世界高度欣賞的一門藝術(shù)�！癮ppreciated across the world”是過去分詞作定語，修飾an art。an art和appreciate之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系。

【8】考查名詞性從句。句意：任何人都可以練習(xí)它（書法）。只需要一套簡單的東西：毛筆，墨和紙。“what is required”是主語從句，該從句缺少主語，且表示名詞意思“所需要的東西”，故該空填what。

【9】考查時(shí)態(tài)和語態(tài)。主語為natural talent，該空作謂語。主語和need之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，且該句介紹的客觀事實(shí)，故該空要用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài)。

【10】考查名詞。of是介詞，后面接名詞作賓語。of benefit意為“有益的”，相當(dāng)于“beneficial”。
