【分析】
本题为英语语法填空题，需结合词性、固定搭配、时态、比较级、反身代词等语法规则逐一分析每个空：1. 空前有some，需填可数名词复数，对应动词predict的名词形式；2. 考查固定短语搭配；3. 考查固定结构be able to do；4. 由时间状语in the future确定时态；5. 由标志词than确定用形容词比较级；6. 考查固定短语搭配；7. 考查反身代词的固定用法；8. 连接并列动作需用并列连词；9. 修饰动词需用副词；10. 由时间状语now确定现在进行时态。
【解析】
1. 空前some后接可数名词复数，predict的名词为prediction，复数形式是predictions，故填predictions；
2. 固定搭配take a shower意为“洗澡”，故填a；
3. 固定结构be able to do sth意为“能够做某事”，故填to let；
4. 由前文“in the future”可知用一般将来时，结构为will+动词原形，故填will check；
5. 空后有than，需用形容词比较级，comfortable的比较级是more comfortable，故填more comfortable；
6. 固定搭配at the same time意为“同时”，故填at；
7. 固定搭配by oneself意为“独自”，主语the lights是复数，反身代词用themselves，故填themselves；
8. 此处连接“opening your door”和“causing a mess”两个并列动作，用并列连词and，故填and；
9. 此处修饰动词短语get back home，需用副词，quick的副词形式是quickly，故填quickly；
10. 由时间状语now可知用现在进行时，主语technology是单数，结构为is+doing，故填is developing。
