For example, scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know 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.

Will robots think like humans in the future
【解读】human n.人。表示区别于其他动物或神的“人”。作名词时为可数名词,其复数形式为humans。【辨析】person泛指一切人,包括男女老幼,既有单数,也有复数形式。people意为“人,人们,人民”, 可用some,many等修饰。表示复数意义。people 在句中用作主语时,谓语动词为复数形式。 people 在俗语中还作“家人,亲属”解。
【活学活用】1) 机器人跟人一样聪明吗？______________________________________
2) 每天晚上都有许多人去那棵大树下面 乘凉 。________________________________
Are robots as clever as humans
A lot of people go to enjoy the cool under the big tree every evening.
Language points
Today there are already robots working in factories.
【解读】“There be+ sb./sth.+doing sth.”表示“有某人或某物正在做某事”,该句型常用来强调动作,一般对进行时态进行强调。
【拓展】 “There must be sb./sth.doing sth.+地点” 表示“某处一定有某人/某物在做某事”。There is no doing…意思是“(口语)不可能……”。
【活学活用】1) 有很多孩子在操场上玩耍。______________________________________
2) 房间里肯定有个小孩在哭。
________________________________
3)无法知道他在做什么。______________________________________
There must be a child crying in the room.
There must be a child crying in the room.
There is no knowing what he is doing.
Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored.
【解读】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：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。
【活学活用】1) 当你饿的时候你就不会觉得无聊了。______________________________________
2) 如果你每月都做同样的事情，你可能会感到厌烦。________________________________
You won’t be bored when you are hungry.
If you do the same things month after month, you may get bored.
Scientists are now trying to make robots look like humans…
【解读】try to do sth.意为“尽力去做某事”，侧重尽力，为了达到目的而努力。也可以说成try one’s best to do sth.。try doing sth.意为“尝试做某事”，只是一种尝试，并没有一定明显的目的性。
make sb.do sth.使某人做某事。使役动词make和see,hear,listen to,look at,watch,notice 等感官动词都接不带to的不定式作宾补。help后可带to,也可不带to。
【活学活用】1) 我正努力学习英语。______________________________________
2) 老板逼迫工人每天工作超过12个小时。________________________________
I am trying to learn English.= I am trying my best to learn English.
The boss made his workers work over twelve hours a day.
But many scientists disagree with Mr. White.However, they agree it may take hundreds of years.
【解读】hundreds of意为“数以百计的”，用于笼统的数量。当hundred为复数时，前面不可与具体数字连用，并在后面接“of＋可数名词复数”。hundred,表示具体的数量，意为“一百”，当hundred前有具体数字修饰时，只能用单数。类似的还有thousands of成千上万的,millions of几百万的等。
【活学活用】1) 我们学校有900个学生。______________________________________
2) 这个图书馆里有数百本书。
______________________
There are nine hundred students in our school.
There are hundreds of books in the library.
