【解析】
1. 考查形容词最高级：“one of the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数”表示“最……之一”，故填biggest；
2. 考查词性转换：此处修饰名词poet，需用形容词，gift的形容词形式为gifted（有天赋的），故填gifted；
3. 考查名词复数：lyric是可数名词，此处表泛指，用复数形式lyrics，故填lyrics；
4. 考查定语从句关系代词：先行词poet指人，在从句中作主语，可用who或that，故填that/who；
5. 考查名词：根据后文“she”及“local police station”，可知是女警察，故填policewoman；
6. 考查固定搭配：“for the first time”意为“第一次”，是固定短语，故填for；
7. 考查动词时态：主语he是第三人称单数，一般现在时谓语动词用第三人称单数形式，故填downloads；
8. 考查固定搭配：“invite sb to do sth”意为“邀请某人做某事”，故填to sing；
9. 考查形容词：feel是系动词，后接形容词，修饰人用tired（疲倦的），故填tired；
10. 考查代词：此处修饰名词turn，需用形容词性物主代词，they的形容词性物主代词是their，故填their；
11. 考查反身代词：“lose oneself in”意为“沉浸于……”，主语是He，故填himself；
12. 考查连词：根据语境，听众在表演结束后欢呼，用after（在……之后），故填after；
13. 考查连词：此处表条件，意为“如果你尽最大努力”，用if，故填if；
14. 考查形容词比较级：句中“than”提示用比较级，confident的比较级是more confident，故填more confident；
15. 考查动词时态：“in the future”（在未来）提示用一般将来时，故填will bring。
