Do You Think You Will Have Your Own Robot?
1．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.
3．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 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.
4．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 that 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！
Some robots are very human?like. They can walk and ________like people. Some scientists think that in the future they will ________robots more like humans. This may not ________in the near future, but at some point, robots will even be able to ________ like people. However, some scientists ________. James White believes that robots will not be able to do the________ things as we can. For example, he thinks that robots will ________be able to wake up and know where they are. Which side do you________ with?
dance
make
happen
talk
disagree
same
never
agree

【辨析】 human，person与people
human 也写作human being，意为“人”；它的复数形式为humans。
person 指个体的“人”，有单复数形式。
“一个人”应该说a person，不能说a people。
1. human 人
people 意为“人，人们”时，着重指集体，为集合名词；也有“民族”之意，此时它的复数形式为peoples，a people意为“一个民族”。
Some robots look like humans.
一些机器人看上去像人类。
Two persons are cleaning the room.
两个人在打扫房间。
People are dancing in the street.
人们正在街上跳舞。
China has 56 peoples.
中国有56个民族。
典例
An old ________ wants to see you.
A．person B．people
C．humans D．men
A
【点拨】因前有An old限定，所以用单数。
讲解来自《点拨》
2. Today there are already robots working in factories.
此句中的working in factories的逻辑主语是robots，但这个there be句型中，谓语动词已经有了are，所以work就不能再作本句的谓语动词，而应用-ing形式。这一点在学习和使用there be句型时需要特别注意。
现在已经有机器人在工厂里干活了。
【句型】there be + sb. / sth. + doing sth.
有某人/某物正(在)做某事
There are some students singing in the classroom.
有些学生正在教室里唱歌。
3. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future…
辨析such & so such和so表示“如此；这样
such修饰名词，so常用来修饰形容词或副词。
Do you like such weather?
你喜欢这样的天气吗
I’m so glad to see you.
我如此高兴见到你
He can draw so well.
他可以画得很好
2) 名词前有many，much，few或little等词修饰时，要用so而不用such。如：
There are so many /few people in the hall.
有如此多/少的人在大厅
You have so much /little homework today.
今天你有如此多/少的作业
3) “such + a / an +adj.+可数名词单数”
=“so +adj.+ a /an +可数名词单数”
“如此……的一个……”。如：
She is such a lovely girl.
= She is so lovely a girl.
such修名词，
so修饰adj./adv.
她是如此可爱的女孩
【运用】用such或so填空。
1. The man told us _____ funny a story.
2. She has _____ a beautiful dress.
3. How can you get _____ much money to buy the car?
4. Don’t go out in _____ cold weather.
5. Don’t eat _____ quickly.
so
such
so
such
so
典例
All of us feel surprised that _______ a little boy can eat _______ much food.
A．such；so B．so；so
C．so；that D．very；that
【点拨】套用such的结构为such a little boy；遇到表示“多少”的much，many，little，few时用so修饰。
A
4. However, some scientists believe that
although we can make robots move…
然而，一些科学家认为虽然我们能够让机器
人像人类一样活动…
believe v. 相信；后接名词或代词作宾语，
