解析
16. 考点：副词用法。空格处修饰动词do，需要将形容词real变为副词really，作状语修饰动作。
17. 考点：固定搭配。make sb. do sth. 是使役动词make的固定用法，意为“让某人做某事”，后面接不带to的动词原形。
18. 考点：非谓语动词。空格前的before是介词，介词后接动词时需要用动名词形式。
19. 考点：冠词用法。此处泛指“一场活动”，event是以元音音素开头的可数名词单数，用不定冠词an。
20. 考点：固定搭配。plan to do sth. 是固定短语，意为“计划做某事”。
21. 考点：人称代词。空格处在动词inviting之后，需要使用人称代词的宾格形式作宾语。
22. 考点：词形转换。根据语境“接受邀请后无法到场”，此处表达“不能”的含义，用able的反义词unable，构成be unable to do sth. 结构，意为“无法做某事”。
23. 考点：被动语态。句意为“尤其是当你被邀请去吃饭的时候”，此处是现在完成时的被动结构have been done。
24. 考点：名词复数。此处和并列的Flowers形式对应，表示类别，要用可数名词chocolate的复数形式。
25. 考点：固定搭配。express one's thanks for sth. 是固定短语，意为“为某事表达感谢”。
17. 考点：固定搭配。make sb. do sth. 是使役动词make的固定用法，意为“让某人做某事”，后面接不带to的动词原形。
