them at home.

their homework on paper but on
computer, and robots will help students
to correct the homework.

51. Language points …and they do simple jobs over and over again.
……并且他们反复的干着简单的工作
over and over again是固定搭配，译为：反复
的；多次”， 还可以说 over and over。例如：
They sang the song over and over.
他们反复的唱着那首歌。
They call over and over again but nobody
answered. 他多次打电话，但没人接。

52. 2. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future
because they are boring, but robots will never
get bored.
此句中的get bored 译为“ 感到厌烦，感到无
聊”。其同义词为：be bored 二者的区别在于：
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。例如：

53. You won't be bored when you are hungry.
当你饿的时候你就不会觉得无聊了。
If you do the same things month after month, you may get bored.
如果你每月都做同样的事情，你可能会感到厌烦。

54. 3. Some robots are very human-like.
一些机器人十分像真人。
在human-like （形似真人的；真人一样的）
一词中，-like 为形容词后缀，用在名词之后，与其构成一个完整的形容词，表示“ 形似……的；像……一样的；类似于…..的”。
又如： a bird-like building （像鸟一样的建筑）
a cabbage-like vegetable（一种形似卷心菜的蔬菜），the ball-like thing on the top of the building（楼顶上那个像球一样的东西。）

55. 4. It will be difficult to make them really think
like a human.
把机器人做的像人一样思考将会很难。
通常用it 做形式主语，将不定式和动名词置
于谓语后面，特别是主语较长时，或在一些
习惯用法中。当谓语是系表结构（be + 形容
词/ 名词）时，常将不定式后置，构成句型
“it + be + 表语（形容词 / 名词）+ 不定式”。
e.g. It is not an easy thing to master a foreign
language. 掌握一门外语不是件容易的事

56. 5. Scientist James White thinks that robots will never be able to wake up.
can vs be able to
相同点: 两者都表示能力
不同点:
can只有现在式和过去式。
be able to可用于现在时、过去时和将来时, 但它没有进行时。

57. 3) 表示经过努力而成功的某一次动作, 只能用
be able to.
试做以下试题:
①He ____________ drive a car.
②He ____________climb over the mountain before.
can
was able to

58. 6. But many scientists disagree with Mr. White.
但很多科学家不赞同怀特先生的观点。
这里的“disagree with ”译为 不同意；不一
致；不适合 。
固定搭配：
agree with sb/sth
agree （同意）
disagree with sb/sth
disagree （同意）

59. e.g. They disagreed with each other about the
time and place of the accident.
他们在对事故发生的时间和地点彼此有
分歧。
I strongly disagree with his views.
我强烈反对他的见解。
I disagree completely with Jack.
我完全不同意杰克的意见。

60. 7.If buildings fall down with people inside,
these snake robots can help look for people
under the buildings.
如果建筑物倒塌，人还在里面，这些蛇形
机器人可以帮助在坍塌的建筑物里搜救伤者。

他们拜倒在他面前。
3）倒塌：

62. 8. So I’ll probably just keep a bird.
keep: v. “保持; 维持; 喂养”
1) keep + sb. / sth. +形容词 “使某人/某物……”
e.g. The job kept them busy for a year.
2) keep +形容词 “保持”
e.g. The man ran up and down to keep warm.
3) keep + sb. / sth. doing “让某人/某物继续做某事”
