【分析】
做这类选词补全短文的题目，首先第一步要通读全文，梳理清楚文章核心叙事：Peter看到Yaming在活动室练书法，二人交流学习书法和吉他的经历，最后约定互相学习的故事，把握整体时态以一般过去时为主，穿插描述常态的一般现在时。第二步逐个分析每个空格的语法属性和语义需求，结合方框给出的备选词，先匹配语义符合的词，再根据固定搭配、语态、词性变形规则调整形式，最后代入通读检查逻辑是否通顺。
【解析】
16. 此处考查固定结构see sb. doing sth.，表示“看见某人正在做某事”，do calligraphy是固定搭配“练书法”，因此将do变为动名词形式doing。
17. 此处位于动词ask后引导宾语从句，从句中缺少指代“书写内容”的宾语，用引导词what符合语义，意为“询问亚明正在写什么”。
18. 此处为被动语态结构be done，语义是“这首诗是他奶奶教给他的”，teach的过去分词为taught，符合被动含义。
19. 此处从句缺少系动词，语义为“彼得认为书法看起来很难”，全文叙事为过去时态，look的过去式为looked。
20. 此处句意符合“万事开头难”的逻辑，即第一步永远是最艰难的，定冠词the后要接形容词最高级，hard的最高级形式为hardest。
21. 此处引导时间状语从句，句意为“他回忆起刚开始的时候，花数小时练习单个笔画”，用引导词when表示“当……的时候”符合语境。
22. 此处固定搭配encourage sb. not to do sth. 意为“鼓励某人不要做某事”，结合前文提到学吉他很艰难，语义是爸爸鼓励他不要放弃，直接填动词短语原形give up即可。
23. 此处语义为“他甚至喜欢墨水闻起来的气味”，描述客观常态用一般现在时，主语ink是不可数名词，谓语动词smell要变为第三人称单数形式smells。
24. 前文彼得提议“你为什么不教我写一首诗呢”，对应后半句“我教你一首歌作为回报”，固定短语in return意为“作为回报”，完全符合语境。
25. 此处考查固定搭配learn from sb. 意为“向某人学习”，句意为“期待互相学习”，因此填介词from。
【答案】
16.doing 17.what 18.taught 19.looked 20.hardest 21.when 22.give up 23.smells 24.in return 25.from
【知识点】
动词固定搭配，时态与语态，宾语从句
【点评】
本题属于语篇型选词填空题，综合考察初中阶段核心的词法、句法知识点，既要求学生读懂全文语境匹配语义，也要求学生熟练掌握非谓语变形、形容词最高级、动词时态语态变化等细节考点，易错点集中在被动语态的过去分词变形、感官动词的第三人称单数变形上，需要学生结合上下文时态仔细判断。
