解析:
【分析】
先通读短文理解主旨,结合每个空的前后语境、语法要求(词性、单复数、逻辑关系等),运用词汇的构词规则、固定搭配来确定每个空的正确形式。比如需注意名词的单复数变化、形容词修饰名词、反义词的运用以及固定搭配的积累。
【解析】
1. 空前为形容词famous,需填名词,future对应的表示“未来学家”的名词是futurist,故填futurist。
2. emergency是可数名词,与并列的disasters(灾难)形式一致,需用复数形式,故填emergencies。
3. 结合语境“部分工作可能会消失”,appear(出现)的反义词为disappear,情态动词may后接动词原形,故填disappear。
4. 此处修饰名词jobs,需用形容词,challenge的形容词形式为challenging(有挑战性的),故填challenging。
5. 与space pilots(太空飞行员)并列,需用名词复数,expert的复数形式为experts,故填experts。
6. 根据后文“机器人无法取代人类”,可知此处表示“不可能的”,possible的反义词为impossible,故填impossible。
7. 空前为名词所有格humans',需填名词,create的名词形式为creativity(创造力),故填creativity。
8. 此处作表语,需用形容词,value的形容词形式为valuable(有价值的),故填valuable。
9. refrigerator是可数名词,此处泛指“智能冰箱”,需用复数形式,故填refrigerators。
10. 固定搭配prepare for意为“为……做准备”,故填for。
