workinginfactories.

现在已经有机器人在工厂里干活了。workinginfactories的逻辑主语是robots，但这个therebe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。2.Fewerpeoplewilldo

suchjobsinthefuturebecausetheyareboring,butrobotswillneverget

bored.

辨析such&so

such和so均可表示“如此；这样”。1)such常用来修饰名词，so常用来修饰形容词或副词。e.g.Doyoulike

such

weather?I’mso

gladtoseeyou.Hecandraw

sowell.2)

当名词前有many，much，few或little等词修饰时，用so不用such。e.g.Therearesomany/fewpeopleinthehall.Youhavesomuch/little

homeworktoday.3)

“such+a/an+adj.+可数名词单数”相当于“so+adj.+a/an+可数名词单数”，表示“如此……的一个……”。e.g.Sheissuchalovelygirl.=Sheissolovelyagirl.用such或so填空。1)Themantoldus_____funnyastory.2)Shehas_____abeautifuldress.3)Howcanyouget_____muchmoneytobuythecar?4)Don’tgooutin_____coldweather.5)Don’teat_____quickly.sosuchsosuchsogetbored

变得无聊boringadj.

无聊的（主语是物体）boredadj.

令人无聊的（主语是人）e.g.Thisbookisvery________.这本书真无聊。

Thechildrenquickly____________withstayinginthehouse.

孩子们呆在家里很快变得就无聊了。boringgotbored3.ButmanyscientistsdisagreewithMr.White.However,theyagreeitmaytake

hundredsofyears.前缀(dis)+agree(同意)→disagreeagreev.同意；赞成；应允disagreev.

不同意；持不同意见；有分歧agreewithsb.

同意某人的意见agreetodosth.

同意做某事e.g.Iagree_____youonthismatter.Heagreed____flykiteswithmethisweekend.towithagree后可接that引导的宾语从句，that有时可省略，意为“同意……；一致认为……”。e.g.Theyagree(that)themovieisveryboring.takevt.花费Ittakes/took/willtakesb.sometimetodosth.花费某人多长时间做某事e.g.Theproblemwasdifficult.IttookLeonearlytwentyminutes

toworkitout.hundredsof数以百计的；成百上千的后接可数名词复数形式e.g.Therearehundredsof_____(pig)onthefarm.当hundred受数词或不定数量词修饰时，hundred用零复数形式，即原形。e.g.三百

→

threehundredpigs表示不确定的数字，类似的还有：thousand，million等thousandsof

成千上万的；数以千计的注意：hundred，thousand，million等数词前有具体的数字时，数词用单数形式。完成句子或对话1)Thesummerholidayiscoming.Two

4.Somescientistsbelieve

thatalthoughwecanmakerobotsmovelikepeople,itwillbedifficulttomakethemreallythinklikeahuman.(翻译)一些科学家相信尽管我们可以把机器人做得能像人一样活动，把它们做得真的像人一样思考将会很难。that引导的是一个宾语从句。在宾语从句中，如果主句是一般现在时态，从句可根据实际情况确定时态；如果主句是过去时态，从句也要用过去时态的某种形式。believesb.

相信某人说的话believe表示相信某人说的话是真的或相信某事会发生(或已经发生)。e.g.Idon’tbelieveyou.believev.

相信；认为有可能believein信赖相信believein后接sth.(真理、宗教一类的词)多表示信仰某事物，相信其存在；后接sb.则表示信赖某人或相信某人的人格。e.g.Doyoubelieveinmagic?WeallbelieveinMr.Zhang.根据句意，用believe或believein的适当形式填空。(1)I________whathesaidjustnow,butInever__________himasaperson.(2)Icouldn’t________myeyeswhenshewalkedintotheroom.believebelievein

believe

5.Theythinkthatrobotwillevenbeabletotalklikepeoplein25to50years.他们相信在25至50年以后机器人甚至能够像人一样谈话。talkv.
