121、高级。句意:我是所有人中最快乐的,因为我不仅得到了奖品,而且知道一个人不应该轻易放弃。“of all”指三者以上,形容词happy前有定冠词the修饰,用形容词happy的最高级形式。故将happy改为happiest。10. 考查名词的数。句意:现在我已经18岁了,但我对童年的记忆仍然历历在目。year是可数名词,由数词18修饰,用名词复数形式。故将year改为years。第二节书面表达(满分25分)52. 你校正在举办“用英语讲好中国故事”英语征文大赛。请以我最喜欢的中国传统节日为题,写一篇短文参赛。内容包括:1.节日简介;2.喜欢的原因。注意:1.词数100左右;2.短文题目和首句已为你
