In the future, robots might see, talk and walk 3 humans. Some scientists say you will even have robotic (机器人的) friends in a few 4 . But if that 5 , robots must be able to think and have feelings. Scientists are 6 robots that can act like animals.
“Today, robots are like actors—they may show their feelings, 7 they don’t feel them,” the scientist Steels says, “I want to change that.”
“Robots will be more like humans in the future.” Steels says. But most of 8 will still only do jobs that humans can’t do, or don’t want to do. Robots 9 get bored, tired or scared. So they are perfect for working in factories and 10 places.

【导语】本文是一篇说明文,预测了未来天气的变化趋势,包括气温升高、降水减少、冰川融化、沿海城市消失及强风增多等,阐述了这些变化对人类和动植物的影响。
1.句意:但许多人认为会有一些变化。根据“No one can be sure what the weather will be like in the future.”可知,未来天气不确定,因此会有“变化”,change符合语境;结合空前“some”,此处需用复数形式changes,故填changes。
2.句意:科学家说,在许多地方,天气将会变得热得多,而且降雨会更少。根据“it’s going to be much…and it’s going to rain less.”可知,未来气候偏干旱,气温会“更高”,“much”修饰比较级表程度,hot的比较级是hotter,符合语境,故填hotter。
3.句意:非洲的一些国家全年都会变得非常干燥,人们几乎不可能找到食物和水。根据“find food and water”可知,寻找食物和水的主体是“人们”,people为复数概念名词,符合语境,故填people。
4.句意:在南欧和美国,植物将更难生长。根据“it’s going to be much hotter and it’s going to rain less”可知,高温少雨的环境不利于植物“生长”,grow符合语境,“to”后接动词原形表目的,故填grow。
5.句意:几百年后,那里的人们也将面临寻找食物的问题。根据“hundreds of years”可知,此处表示“在未来几百年后”,“in+时间段”用于一般将来时,故填in。
6.句意:没有人知道气温会上升多少,但科学家说变化至少会达到2摄氏度。根据“No one knows how much the temperature is going up”与“scientists say that the change is going to be at least 2℃”可知,前后句为转折关系,but表转折,符合语境,故填but。
7.句意:他们说,未来几百年里,北极的冰将会慢慢融化,那里的很多动物将会死亡。根据“the ice in the Arctic is going to melt”可知,冰川融化是一个缓慢的过程,需用副词修饰动词melt,slow的副词形式为slowly,符合语境,故填slowly。
8.句意:海里的水也会增多,所以沿海城市可能会消失。根据“there is also going to be more water in the sea”可知,海平面上升会导致沿海城市“消失”,disappear符合语境,情态动词“may”后需用动词原形,故填disappear。
9.句意:另一个问题是将会有更多像飓风一样的强风。根据“like hurricanes”可知,飓风属于“强风”,需用形容词修饰名词“winds”,strong表示“强烈的”,符合语境,故填strong。
10.句意:科学家说它们会在全世界发生,很多人将会失去他们的家园。根据“many people”可知,此处指代“很多人的”家园,需用they的形容词性物主代词their“他们的”,故填their。
