【分析】
首先通读短文，理解文章大意：短文讲述了作者妈妈希望作者学钢琴，但作者热爱运动，后来遇到一位小女孩，两人互相帮助学习的故事。解题时需结合上下文语境，逐一分析每个空的语法规则、固定搭配或词形变化：16题考查固定搭配；17题考查连词逻辑；18题考查固定短语搭配；19题考查副词用法；20题考查序数词；21题考查动名词用法；22题考查冠词用法；23题考查动词时态；24题考查疑问词用法；25题考查人称代词宾格用法。
【解析】
16. 固定搭配want sb to do sth表示“想要某人做某事”，此处需用动词不定式，故填to become；
17. 前句提到妈妈想让作者成为钢琴家，后句说明作者喜欢运动，前后为转折关系，需用转折连词，故填but；
18. 固定短语be interested in表示“对……感兴趣”，此处填介词in，故填in；
19. 此处修饰动词stay，需用副词形式，usual的副词是usually，故填usually；
20. 表示“第一节课”，需用序数词，one的序数词为first，故填first；
21. be good at中at是介词，介词后接动名词，hold的动名词是holding，故填holding；
22. 此处泛指“一个小女孩”，little girl是可数名词单数，且little以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词A，故填A；
23. 文章讲述过去的经历，需用一般过去时，meet的过去式是met，故填met；
24. 此处表示“教某人如何做某事”，用“疑问词+不定式”结构，故填how；
25. taught是动词，动词后接人称代词宾格，she的宾格是her，故填her；
