【解析】

本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了像百事可乐公司这些公司通过在学校启动一些让学生学习的项目如“Learn and Earn Project”来推动了百事可乐的销售。

【1】考查过去分词做后置定语。句意：百事可乐公司每年举办一次比赛，这比赛鼓励学生在聚会上销售这种软饮料。set up与修饰名词 competition逻辑上是动宾关系，表示被动，用set的过去分词，故填set。

【2】考查动词。句意：根据公司发给老师的材料。后半句the project declares….是一般现在时，故前半句也是一般现在时，主语是the company，谓语用第三人称单数，故填sends。

【3】考查固定搭配。句意：不管它能否实现这个目标，它都成功地销售了百事可乐。whether….or not“是否”，故填Whether。

【4】考查动词。句意：“学习和赚钱项目”只是食品公司鼓励学生在校购买食品的数百种方式之一。companies encourage the buying of their products in schools是一个定语从句，从句中主语是companies，故谓语encourage应保持主谓一致，故填encourage。

【5】考查代词。句意：非常专业的电影，新的练习册和小册子，以低价或免费提供给教师。此处指代highly professional films, shiny workbooks and pamphlets，故填代词all。

【6】考查连词。此处表示选择关系，故填连词or。

【7】考查主谓一致。句意：对于正在成长的孩子来说，大量的糖是均衡饮食中是很重要的一部分。宾语从句generous amounts of sugar … growing children，主语是amounts of sugar，谓语应保持一致，故填are。

【8】考查形容词最高级。句意：目前为止，学校最大提供营养物质的供应商是国家奶制品委员会。此处意为 “最大的”，故填the largest。

【9】考查非谓语动词。句意：它提供各种各样解决问题的小册子，从“我在社交方面做得怎么样?”到“我身体怎么样？此处是which引导的非限制性定语从句，谓语是provides，宾语是 all sorts of pamphlets ，名词pamphlets与 address在逻辑上是主谓关系，表示主动，故填addressing。

【10】考查定语从句。句意：但营养和家庭经济并不是公司发现的唯一一种有利可图的广告形式领域。由where 引导的定语从句，作areas的定语。定语从句中主语是companies，谓语是 have found，宾语 a Lucrative form of advertising，此处缺地点状语，故填where。
