32、,意思是“在岁的时候”。4youngest“11岁的Brighton Zeuner成为世界上最年轻的女极限运动员”,且空格前有the修饰,故用young的最高级。5SkatingSkating against women twice her age是现在分词短语作状语,skate与逻辑主语she之间是主谓关系。6were主语是most skaters,谓语动词用复数;这里说的是过去的情况,用一般过去时。7whommany of whom can beat the boys是“介词关系代词”引导的定语从句,修饰先行词girls。8happiness空格中所填单词在句中与freedom并列作主语,故用happy的名词形式。9toadd .to是固定短语,意思是“增加”。10sixteenth句意:那时,我刚刚过完16岁生日。故用sixteen的序数词形式。
