What are robots like in movies?Section 2 While You Read Do You Think You Will Have
Your Own Robot?
When we watch movies about the future,
we sometimes see robots. They are usually
like human servants. They help with the
housework and do jobs like working in dirty
or dangerous places.2.Today there are already robots working in
factories. Some can help to build cars, and
they do simple jobs over and over again. Fewer
people will do such jobs in the future because
they are boring, but robots will never get bored.Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do. Some robots in Japan can walk and dance.
They are fun to watch. However, some
scientists believe that although we can make robots move like people, it will be difficult to make them really think like a human. For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know3.where they are. But many scientists disagree with Mr. White. They think that robots will even be able to talk like humans in 25 to 50 years.
Some scientists believe that there will be more robots in the future. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years.
These new robots will have many different shapes. Some will look like humans, and others might look like animals. In India, for example, scientists made robots that4.look like snakes. If buildings
fall down with people inside,
these snake robots can help
look for people under the
buildings. This was not
possible 20 years ago, but computers and rockets also seemed impossible 100 years ago. We never know what will happen in the future!

C. finishing D. to finish 答案：AHe made some toys ______ his little son.
A. please B. to please
C. pleasing D. pleased
【解析】此题陷阱选项为A。错误的原因是由于受思维定式的影响，由于做过许多make用作使役动词的题，那么一看到make这个词就认为是用作使役动词，这样就误选为A。其实，这里的make是“制作”的意思，不是用作使役动词。句意为“他制作了一些玩具来讨好他的年幼的儿子”。 5. the same as … 和……一样

(1) be able to 用于表能力，并可用于多种时态和非谓语动词短语，而can 只有一般现在时和一般过去时两种时态。
(2) can 可用于人或物作主语的句子中；而be able to 的主语只能由有生命的名词充当。

Fill in the blanks with the expressions be able to or can.
1.All the people ______________ escape from the fire in time that night.
2. He said he _____________ finish his homework in an hour． were able to could…and they do simple jobs over and over again.

over and over again是固定搭配，译为：反复
的；多次”， 还可以说 over and over。例如：

他们反复的唱着那首歌。
They call over and over again but nobody
answered. 他多次打电话，但没人接。Language points2. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future
because they are boring, but robots will never
get bored.
此句中的get bored 译为“ 感到厌烦，感到无
聊”。其同义词为：be bored 二者的区别在于：
get bored（强调动作） be bored （强调状态）
英语中有很多过去分词或形容词都可以和get,
be 连用。比如：tired，angry 等。例如：
3. Some robots are very human-like.
一些机器人十分像真人。
在human-like （形似真人的；真人一样的）
一词中，-like 为形容词后缀，用在名词之后，与其构成一个完整的形容词，表示“ 形似……的；像……一样的；类似于…..的”。
又如： a bird-like building （像鸟一样的建筑）
a cabbage-like vegetable（一种形似卷心菜的蔬菜），the ball-like thing on the top of the building（楼顶上那个像球一样的东西。） 4. It will be difficult to make them really think
like a human.
把机器人做的像人一样思考将会很难。
通常用it 做形式主语，将不定式和动名词置
于谓语后面，特别是主语较长时，或在一些
习惯用法中。当谓语是系表结构（be + 形容
词/ 名词）时，常将不定式后置，构成句型
“it + be + 表语（形容词 / 名词）+ 不定式”。
e.g. It is not easy to master a foreign language. 掌握一门外语不是件容易的事5. But many scientists disagree with Mr. White.
但很多科学家不赞同怀特先生的观点。
这里的“disagree with ”译为 不同意；不一
致；不适合 。
固定搭配： agree （同意）agree with sb/sthdisagree （同意）disagree with sb/sthe.g. They disagreed with each other about the
time and place of the accident.
他们在对事故发生的时间和地点彼此有
分歧。
