- 结合语境理解空格处应表达的具体含义；
- 排除干扰项，选择最贴合语境的单词。
第（1）题
句意：未来三年，消费和办公机器人市场规模将超过15亿美元，远远超过制造业机器人的增长速度。
关键点：空格前为副词far，需用动词的现在分词形式作状语，表示主动动作。outpacing（超过）符合语境。
第（2）题
句意：未来的机器人手臂能擦洗表面并给人洗澡。
关键点：空格前为情态动词can，需用动词原形。scrub（擦洗）与bathe并列，动作具体。
第（3）题
句意：高效机器人的关键是“能够预测人们的行为”。
关键点：be后接形容词作表语，capable（有能力的）与predicting构成逻辑关系。
第（4）题
句意：机器人的目标是支持人类或避免妨碍。
关键点：空格处作动名词作表语，supporting（支持）与staying out of their way对应。
第（5）题
句意：日本机器人Pepper能感知并回应人类情感。
关键点：空格前为情态动词can，需用动词原形。perceive（感知）与respond并列，符合语境。

关键点：空格前为already，需形容词作定语，faint（模糊的）描述界限不清晰。
第（8）题
句意：人类与智能机器的关系将扩展社会景观。
关键点：social修饰名词，landscape（形势）指社会整体情况。
第（9）题
