【分析】
本题为短文填空，需结合时态、词性变化、固定短语等知识点解题。15题主语Dad是第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语用三单形式；16题主语为复数，be动词对应复数形式；17题表“二十分钟的车程”需用名词复数所有格；18题由now提示用现在进行时；19题考查need的固定搭配；20题be后接形容词；21题考查固定短语be strict with；22题考查practice的固定搭配；23题考查either...or...固定搭配；24题考查固定短语have a good time。
【解析】
15. 主语Dad为第三人称单数，一般现在时中谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填goes；
16. 主语My sister, brother and I是复数，be动词用复数形式are，故填are；
17. 表示“二十分钟的车程”，minute复数为minutes，其所有格形式为minutes'，故填minutes'；
18. 由时间状语Now可知用现在进行时，结构为“be+现在分词”，have的现在分词是having，故填having；
19. need to do sth是固定搭配，意为“需要做某事”，故填to read；
20. be动词后接形容词作表语，noise的形容词形式是noisy，故填noisy；
21. be strict with sb是固定短语，意为“对某人严格”，故填介词with；
22. practice doing sth是固定搭配，意为“练习做某事”，故填drawing；
23. either...or...是固定连词搭配，意为“要么……要么……”，故填or；
24. have a good time是固定短语，意为“玩得开心”，故填a。
【答案】15. goes 16. are 17. minutes' 18. having 19. to read 20. noisy 21. with 22. drawing 23. or 24. a
