题目分析：本文叙述了作者参加了一次写故事比赛，在老师的鼓励下，在邻居陈叔叔的帮助下，作者获得了比赛一等奖的好成绩。

小题1:考查句式。It be a chance of lifetime to do 有做某事的机会。

小题2:考查介词。这里表示在哪方面的奖励，用介词in.

小题3:考查连词。write a story和present it表示两个并列的动作。

小题4:考查动词时态。根据how great my writing was这是过去式，在过去的过去一直发生的就用过去完成进行时，故用had.

小题5:考查连词。what they had said做主语，what在主语从句中的作宾语，故用what.

小题6:考查主谓一致。what做主语，谓语动词用单数，这里根据上下文可知这里说的是过去的事情，故用was.

小题7:考查冠词。这里a gentleman这是Uncle Chen的同位语，表示泛指，故用不定冠词。

小题8:考查副词。这里修饰形容词用副词very修饰，very much修饰动词。

小题9:考查动词短语。这里是agree to do同意做某事。

小题10:考查名词。因为advice是不可数名词，因此没有复数。

点评：文中考查了固定句式，介词、副词、冠词、连词及动词等的用法及意义，需要考生有扎实的基础知识并能正确理解短文的内容，还需要会分析复杂的句子结构进而判断用该词的什么形式。
