【分析】
本题需结合语境和语法规则补全短文，每个空的解题思路如下：16空表示“和家人一起”，需用介词with；17空前有基数词two，名词用复数形式；18空是there be句型，主语为复数，be动词用are；19空在动词regard后，需用人称代词宾格；20空主语是第三人称单数she，一般现在时谓语动词用单三形式；21空表示“被叫做”，用过去分词作定语；22空修饰动词feeds，需用副词；23空形容事物的感受，用形容词relaxing；24空连接两个并列成分，用连词and；25空是固定搭配enjoy doing sth，需用动名词形式。
【解析】
16. 表示“和……一起”，用介词with，符合语境“和家人住在农场”；
17. two后接可数名词复数，son的复数是sons；
18. there be句型遵循“就近原则”，主语ten horses是复数，be动词用are；
19. regard是动词，后接人称代词宾格，they的宾格是them；
20. 主语she是第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语动词用gives；
21. 此处用过去分词called作后置定语，修饰cow，表示“被叫做……的牛”；
22. 修饰动词feeds，需用副词，usual的副词形式是usually；
23. 形容“看鸭子走路这件事”，用形容词relaxing（修饰事物）；
24. 连接short tail和two long ears两个并列成分，用连词and；
25. 固定搭配enjoy doing sth，dress的动名词形式是dressing。
