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 1 (danger) places.
Today there are already robots working in 2 (factory). Some can help to build cars, and they do
simple jobs over 3 over again. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring,
but robots will never get bored.
Scientists are now 4 (try) to make robots look like humans and do the same things as we do.
Some robots in Japan can walk and dance. 5 , some scientists believe that although we can make robots
move like people, it will be difficult to make 6 (they) really think like a human. 7 example,
scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up and know where they are. But many 8
(science) 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 9 (many) 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
10 (other) might look like animals. 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!

来计算机以及人类在月球和其他星球的生活等方面的变化。
1．句意：我们请了一组专家对我们的未来做出预测。根据句子的意思，“预测”是名词，且表示复数，表示
多个专家的不同预测。因此，名词“predict”应该变为复数形式“predictions”。故填 predictions。
2．句意：到 2050 年，我们将拥有“聪明”的汽车。根据句子的时间状语“By 2050”可知，句子描述的是将来
的情况，且表明一个确定的未来事件。根据未来时态的结构，“will + 动词原形”是常用形式。故填 will have。
3．句意：我们将不会发生这么多事故，因为它们将能够彼此“对话”。根据句子结构和语境，后半部分是对
前半部分的原因进行解释，因此需要使用连词 because 来连接因果关系。故填 because。

做某事”。在本句中，“robots”作为主语，表示让机器人帮助清洁，因此应使用动词原形 help。故填 help。
7．句意：去购物。根据句子结构，“go”后面跟动名词形式表示“去做某事”。“shopping”是表示“购物”这一行
为的动名词，符合句意。故填 shopping。

什么”。“human”是名词，表示“人类”，而句中需要的是复数形式的名词，因此应使用 humans。故填 humans。
9．句意：到 2050 年，地球上将有太多人。根据句子的时间状语“By 2050”可知，句子描述的是未来的情况，
因此需要使用未来时态。未来时态的构成是“will + 动词原形”。在本句中，“be”是动词原形，故填 will be。
10．句意：我们将能够在仅仅三天内往返火星。根据句子结构，“in”用来表示某个时间段内发生的事情，常
用于“in + 时间段”结构中，表示“在……时间内”。故填 in。
