1. ①Will robots think like humans in the future
②They are usually like human servants. （教材P53 2b）

Dogs can hear much better than humans.
如：狗的听觉比人类好得多。
The noise comes from a number of human activities.

Language points
2. Today there are already robots working in factories.（教材P53 2b）
(1) There be sb./sth. doing sth.. 意为“有某人/某物正在做某事”,为固定句式。
如:有一些男孩儿正在山上植树。
There are some boys planting trees on the hill.
有一只鸟正在树上唱歌。
There is a bird singing in the tree.
already “已经”，多用于肯定句中，用于疑问句时，表示“惊喜；意外”之意
yet “仍然；还”，多用于疑问句或否定句句末
【易混辨析】already与yet
如:他已经是一名中学生了。
客人们已经到了吗？
Have the guests arrived yet
客人们还没有到了。
The guests haven't arrived yet.
He is already a middle school student.
3. … and they do simple jobs over and over again.（教材P53 2b）
over and over again是一个固定短语，意为“多次，反复的”，还可以说over and over。
如：他反复地向我表示谢意。
He thanked me over and over again.
他们反复地唱那首歌。
They sang the song over and over.
4. However, some scientists believe that although we can…（教材P53 2b）
believe用作及物动词，意为“相信；认为有可能”。 其后常跟名词，代词或从句作宾语。believe sb.意为“相信某人（所说的话是真的）”；believe in sb. 意为“信任某人”。
如：你不能相信她说的任何事情。
You can't believe anything she says.
很难相信他只有10岁。
It's hard to believe that he is only 10.
我相信他所说的话，但我不能信任他。
I believe what he said, but I can't believe in him.
5. … that robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are.（教材P53 2b）
（1）wake up在此处用作不及物动词短语，意为“醒来；睡醒”。
如：露西每天早上6点钟醒来。
Lucy wakes up at six o 'clock every morning.
他妈妈经常早上5点钟把他叫醒。
His mother often wakes him up at 5:00 in the morning.
（2）wake up还可作及物动词短语，此时为“动词+副词”型短语，后接名词作宾语时，名词放在up前或后均可；后接代词作宾语时，代词只能放在wake与up之间。
如：别吵醒你妹妹，Ben。
Don’t wake up your sister, Ben.=Don’t wake your sister up, Ben.
6. ①But many scientists disagree with Mr. White.
②However, they agree it may take hundreds of years.（教材P53 2b）
disagree 为不及物动词，意为“不同意，持不同意见；有分歧”，其反义词为agree。 disagree with sb. 意为“不赞同某人”。
agree 意为“一致认为；同意”，后可以跟从句，其反义词为disagree。
agree+dis=disagree，加前缀dis- 互为反义词的还有:
able(能，会)— disable(使丧失能力) like(喜欢)— dislike(不喜欢)
appear(出现)—disappear(消失) believe(相信)—disbelieve(不相信)
如：比尔和凯特常常意见不同，但他们是好朋友。
Bill and Kate often disagree but they are good friends.
我不同意你的意见。
I disagree with you.
然而，他们一致认为这可能要花费数百年的时间。

⑷ agree on表示“就……取得一致意见”。
如：他们在这个问题上意见一致。
They all agree on the matter.
7. However, they agree it may take hundreds of years.（教材P53 2b）
【易混辨析】hundred与hundreds of
hundred 表示具体数量，意为“百”。其前有a、several及具体数字时，hundred后不加-s，也不和of连用。
hundreds of 表示笼统的数量，意为“许多；大量”。不可与具体数字连用。
模糊数字“两有”(有-s有of ), 具体数字“两无”(无-s无of )。 He has hundreds of books.
The room can hold two hundred people. 。
如：这个房间能容纳200人
他有许多书。
8. This was not possible 20 years ago, but computers and rockets also seemed impossible 100 years ago. （教材P53 2b）
possible形容词，意为“可能存在或发生的；可能的”，其反义词为impossible，意为“不可能存在或发生的；不可能的”。在句中可作表语或定语。
如：只要我们势力学习，一切皆有可能。
Everything is possible as long as we work hard.
