1句意:最近,她收到了很多来信。

根据“a lot of letters”可知很多来信,可推测出此处是“收到”,空前是has,所以此处是过去分词,结合所给首字母,故答案为received

3句意:每天一大早,当学生们还在家时,杜鲁门就坐在她的办公桌前,拿起一根香蕉。

“坐下”在英文中表示为“sit down”,根据主语是人名,可推测出此处是动词三单,故答案为sits down

4句意:然后杜鲁门在每根香蕉上写下希望的信息,比如“你的未来是光明的”和“永不放弃”。

7句意:尽管吃完午饭后香蕉皮可能会被扔掉,但这些信息在放学后会保留很长时间。

“扔掉”在英文中表示为“throw away”,根据“banana peels”与“throw away”之间是被动关系,可推测出此处是情态动词的被动语态,故答案为thrown away

8句意:尽管吃完午饭后香蕉皮可能会被扔掉,但这些信息在放学后会保留很长时间。

根据音标可知是remain,结合“the messages will ___8___[ri'mein] long after school is over.”,可推测出此处是这些信息在放学后会保留很长时间,所以用“remain”,故答案为remain

9句意:这是最有价值的东西。

根据“most valuable”可知是最高级,可推测出此处是“the”,故答案为the

10句意:金斯顿的校长莎伦·舍布里奇说:“香蕉皮上的字可以帮助学生们更有勇气。”
