【分析】
本题为英语语篇填空，需结合语法规则、固定搭配及词形变化来完成。解题思路为：先通读短文理解大意，再逐个分析每个空格的考点，结合语境和语法知识确定答案：21题考查“one of+名词复数”结构；22题考查形容词作定语；23题考查“enjoy doing”固定搭配；24题考查形容词修饰名词；25题考查“such as”固定短语；26题考查主谓一致；27题考查情态动词后接动词原形；28题考查“let's do”固定句式；29题考查介词表伴随；30题考查形容词性物主代词修饰名词。
【解析】
21. 考查名词复数。“one of + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”表示“最……之一”，故填animals。
22. 考查词形转换。and连接并列成分，前面loyal为形容词，此处需用friend的形容词形式friendly修饰pets，故填friendly。
23. 考查固定搭配。“enjoy doing sth”是固定用法，意为“喜欢做某事”，故填playing。
24. 考查词形转换。此处修饰名词animal，需用interest的形容词形式interesting（修饰物），故填interesting。
25. 考查固定短语。“such as”是固定短语，用于列举事物，意为“例如”，故填as。
26. 考查主谓一致。主语Birds为复数，时态为一般现在时，be动词用are，故填are。
27. 考查情态动词用法。情态动词can后接动词原形，故填fly。
28. 考查固定句式。“let's do sth”是固定句式，意为“让我们做某事”，故填talk。
29. 考查介词。此处表示“带有长耳朵”，用介词with表伴随，故填with。
30. 考查物主代词。此处修饰名词characteristics，需用it的形容词性物主代词its，意为“它的”，故填its。

21. animals 22. friendly 23. playing 24. interesting 25. as 26. are 27. fly 28. talk 29. with 30. its
