【解析】
1. 此处引导条件状语从句,结合语境填if。
2. 主语the job与see是被动关系,此处用被动语态,填see的过去分词seen。
3. even修饰形容词比较级,fast的比较级为faster,意为“以更快的速度”,符合语境。

Ⅱ. Read and answer the questions.
If you think of the jobs robots could never do, you would probably put doctors and teachers on the list. It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but some jobs need human connection and creativity. Are we underestimating (低估) what robots can do? Sometimes, they already perform better than doctors at diagnosing (诊断) illnesses. Also, some patients might feel more comfortable sharing personal information with a machine than a person.
Could robots ever become teachers? British expert Anthony Seldon thinks so. And he even has a date for the robot takeover of the classroom: 2029. He says robots will do the main job of teaching knowledge (知识) and teachers will be like helpers. Robots will read students' faces, movements and even what they're thinking. Then they will adapt the information to each student. However, most agree that robots can't truly understand human feelings like people can.
One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9% - 16% of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't get stressed or tired.
Those downsides of teaching are something everyone agrees on. A few teachers are leaving because it is a difficult job and they feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not "Will robots replace teachers?" but "How can robots help teachers?" Office workers can use technology to do things like replying to emails or planning meetings. Some teachers spend a lot of time doing non - teaching work, including over 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.
(
A. Do every job better than humans.
B. Put doctors and teachers out of work.

D. Help doctors find out what illness a patient has.
