【解析】

本文是一篇說明文。文章講述了像百事可樂公司這些公司通過在學校啟動一些讓學生學習的項目如“Learn and Earn Project”來推動了百事可樂的銷售。

【1】考查過去分詞做后置定語。句意：百事可樂公司每年舉辦一次比賽，這比賽鼓勵學生在聚會上銷售這種軟飲料。set up與修飾名詞 competition邏輯上是動賓關(guān)系，表示被動，用set的過去分詞，故填set。

【2】考查動詞。句意：根據(jù)公司發(fā)給老師的材料。后半句the project declares….是一般現(xiàn)在時，故前半句也是一般現(xiàn)在時，主語是the company，謂語用第三人稱單數(shù)，故填sends。

【3】考查固定搭配。句意：不管它能否實現(xiàn)這個目標，它都成功地銷售了百事可樂。whether….or not“是否”，故填Whether。

【4】考查動詞。句意：“學習和賺錢項目”只是食品公司鼓勵學生在校購買食品的數(shù)百種方式之一。companies encourage the buying of their products in schools是一個定語從句，從句中主語是companies，故謂語encourage應保持主謂一致，故填encourage。

【5】考查代詞。句意：非常專業(yè)的電影，新的練習冊和小冊子，以低價或免費提供給教師。此處指代highly professional films, shiny workbooks and pamphlets，故填代詞all。

【6】考查連詞。此處表示選擇關(guān)系，故填連詞or。

【7】考查主謂一致。句意：對于正在成長的孩子來說，大量的糖是均衡飲食中是很重要的一部分。賓語從句generous amounts of sugar … growing children，主語是amounts of sugar，謂語應保持一致，故填are。

【8】考查形容詞最高級。句意：目前為止，學校最大提供營養(yǎng)物質(zhì)的供應商是國家奶制品委員會。此處意為 “最大的”，故填the largest。

【9】考查非謂語動詞。句意：它提供各種各樣解決問題的小冊子，從“我在社交方面做得怎么樣?”到“我身體怎么樣？此處是which引導的非限制性定語從句，謂語是provides，賓語是 all sorts of pamphlets ，名詞pamphlets與 address在邏輯上是主謂關(guān)系，表示主動，故填addressing。

【10】考查定語從句。句意：但營養(yǎng)和家庭經(jīng)濟并不是公司發(fā)現(xiàn)的唯一一種有利可圖的廣告形式領(lǐng)域。由where 引導的定語從句，作areas的定語。定語從句中主語是companies，謂語是 have found，賓語 a Lucrative form of advertising，此處缺地點狀語，故填where。
