【分析】
做语法填空时，需结合语境、固定搭配、语法规则逐一分析每个空：16题考查one of的固定结构，需加定冠词；17题形容词后接名词，用复数形式；18题修饰动词用副词；19题是固定搭配help with；20题动名词作主语；21题while引导的时间状语从句用过去进行时；22题根据句意用介词；23题由than判断用比较级；24题并列谓语用过去式；25题修饰名词用形容词性物主代词。
【解析】
16. 考查定冠词。“one of + the + 名词复数”是固定结构，此处特指“那些想法中的一个”，故填the。
17. 考查名词复数。sunny是形容词，后接名词，smile表示“笑容”时为可数名词，此处表复数概念，故填smiles。
18. 考查副词。此处修饰动词asked，需用polite的副词形式politely，故填politely。
19. 考查固定搭配。help with sth是固定搭配，意为“帮助做某事”，故填with。
20. 考查动名词作主语。此处作从句的主语，需用clean的动名词形式cleaning，故填cleaning。
21. 考查过去进行时。while引导时间状语从句，主句为一般过去时，从句表示过去某个时刻正在进行的动作，用过去进行时，主语是we，故填were working。
22. 考查介词。根据句意“一个小时后，整个房子看起来更明亮了”，用介词After，故填After。
23. 考查比较级。由句中than可知，此处用形容词比较级，warm的比较级是warmer，故填warmer。
24. 考查并列谓语。and连接两个并列谓语，前面是told（过去式），此处用thank的过去式thanked，故填thanked。
25. 考查形容词性物主代词。修饰名词lives，需用we的形容词性物主代词our，故填our。
【答案】
16. the 17. smiles 18. politely 19. with 20. cleaning 21. were working 22. After 23. warmer 24. thanked 25. our
