1.根据上文“In the future, homes will be very different.”可知，智能机器人应该出现在我们家里，house“家”，此处应该用复数形式houses或者原形，由于后面不接名词，故用名词所有格形式不符合，根据句意，此处应该用in our houses“在我们家里”，故填houses；
2.根据“do all kinds of housework…cleaning and cooking”可知，家务活包括扫地和做饭，like“像”，且此处空前为housework，故填like；
3.根据“free time to do what they like.”可知，此句是说人们会有更多的空闲时间做他们喜欢做的事情，more“更多的”，故填more；
4.根据“Cars may be able to fly in the sky in the future.”可知，如果汽车能在空中飞行，那么就会发生更少的交通问题，happen“发生”，且根据“will be”可知，用一般现在时，主语为this，故填happens；
5.根据“People can travel…and more easily.”可知，此空和more easily并列，修饰动词travel，应该用副词，fast“快地”，且根据句意，指“更快地”，故填faster；
6.根据“take trips to other…”可知，人们甚至可以去其他星球旅行，planet“星球”，且根据other“其他的”，后接复数名词，故填planets；
7.根据“robots will take the place of factory workers to do some…and dangerous work.”可知，机器人会代替工人做一些无聊的和危险的工作，boring“无聊的”，修饰物，故填boring；
8.根据“new jobs will…”可知，此处表示“出现”，appear“出现”，且根据will可知，用原形，故填appear；
9.根据“them feel like…”可知，make sb do“使某人……”，make“使”，且根据will可知，用原形，故填make；
10.根据“We don’t know…what it will be like”可知，我们不知道未来确切是什么样子，exact“确切的”，且此处修饰动词know，所以用副词形式exactly，故填exactly。

will; more; at; to; up

1. 根据"in the future"可知用一般将来时，there be句型的将来时为there will be，填will。
2. "better and..."为并列结构，and前后词性一致，better是比较级，efficient的比较级为more efficient，填more。
3. "any place they want"与"at home"并列，指在任何他们想去的地方，用介词at，填at。
4. "how to do sth."为固定结构，意为“如何做某事”，填to。
5. "live up to"为固定短语，意为“活到……”，填up。
