【分析】
我们需要结合语境、时态、语态以及固定搭配来逐个分析每个小题：
1. 第1题：it作形式主语，真正主语是that从句，“人类能太空旅行”是被人们希望的，所以用一般现在时的被动语态。
2. 第2题：衣服是被铺在地上，主语clothes是复数，且主句found是过去式，所以用一般过去时的被动语态。
3. 第3题：根据语境“已经等了半小时”，推测David不会来了，用一般将来时的否定形式。
4. 第4题：since引导的时间状语从句用过去时，主句要用现在完成时；注意people are used to是定语从句修饰transport，主句谓语是change。
5. 第5题：make sb do sth的被动结构是sb be made to do sth，被动语态中要还原to。
6. 第6题：when引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时，主句表示过去某个时刻正在进行的动作，用过去进行时。
7. 第7题：根据语境“多么美的声音”，可知是正在唱歌，do you suppose是插入语，不影响句子时态，用现在进行时。
8. 第8题：devote...to...中to是介词，后面接动名词形式。
9. 第9题：前面gave是过去式，句子描述过去的事情，所以谓语动词用过去式。
10. 第10题：you和serve是被动关系，“马上被服务”，用一般将来时的被动语态。
【解析】
1. 本句中it为形式主语，真正主语是that引导的从句，“人类能太空旅行”是被期望的，一般现在时被动语态结构为“am/is/are+过去分词”，it是第三人称单数，故填is hoped。
2. clothes与spread（铺）是被动关系，主句found是一般过去时，从句用一般过去时被动语态，clothes是复数，故填were spread。
3. 根据“I've waited for half an hour.”可知，推测David不会来了，用一般将来时的否定形式won't come。
4. since引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时，主句用现在完成时，主语the transport是第三人称单数，故填has changed。
5. make sb do sth的被动形式是sb be made to do sth，被动语态中需还原不定式符号to，故填to work。
6. when引导的时间状语从句用一般过去时，主句表示过去某时刻正在进行的动作，过去进行时结构为“was/were+现在分词”，grandma是第三人称单数，故填was cleaning。
7. 根据语境可知是询问谁正在唱歌，do you suppose是插入语，句子主语是who，现在进行时结构为“am/is/are+现在分词”，故填is singing。
8. devote...to...中to是介词，后接动名词形式，故填controlling。
9. 前面gave是一般过去时，句子描述过去的事件，谓语动词用过去式，故填encouraged。
10. you与serve是被动关系，“in a minute”表示将来，用一般将来时被动语态“will be+过去分词”，故填will be served。
【答案】
1. is hoped 2. were spread 3. won't come 4. has changed 5. to work
6. was cleaning 7. is singing 8. controlling 9. encouraged 10. will be served
【知识点】
1. 被动语态用法
2. 时态辨析
3. 固定搭配
【点评】
本题考查动词的时态、语态及固定搭配，需要结合语境准确判断时态和语态，同时注意一些固定结构的特殊用法（如make的被动要还原to、devote to后接动名词），对学生的语法综合运用能力要求较高。

六、阅读短文,回答问题(10分)
Ever feel like no one really understands you well? Pepper could be about to change all that.
Pepper is the first robot to read human feelings. Using its emotion recognition functions, Pepper can react to people when it is near them—making jokes, dancing and even
singing in Japanese.
The man-like robot looks like a small girl. It is four-feet tall with a tablet computer set to its chest. It has human-like hands, a girl-like body and baby-like voice. It was
shown to curious people in Tokyo stores on Friday by Softbank, a Japanese robotics company.
Pepper can examine facial expressions, human voice and signs, and then make an
answer. Pepper is designed to be a family robot, but it isn't like Rosie who can do housework in the
cartoon. Pepper is used at the home or the store to provide fun and entertainment.
Pepper gets power from love inside a family. It can not only tell jokes to make people laugh
but also help people when they are in trouble. In a natural disaster, it can help make those people
who are sad or lonely feel relaxed, encourage them or make them laugh.
Pepper goes on sale in Japan for around 2,000. For now, several Peppers are at Softbank
stores in Tokyo for people to visit. The creators say before selling Peppers, they want the robots to
store more knowledge to do better in getting along with humans.
每题答案不超过8个单词
1. Why is Pepper special?

2. What does Pepper look like?

3. How can Pepper help humans in a natural disaster?

4. What's the difference between Pepper and Rosie?

5. What do you think of robots like Pepper?

1. Because it can read human feelings. 2. It looks like a small girl.
3. By cheering them up./By making them relaxed./By encouraging them or making them laugh.
4. They help people in different ways./They have different uses.
5. I think they're helpful.

【分析】
这是一篇介绍情感识别机器人Pepper的阅读理解简答题，解题思路如下：
1. 先通读全文，快速了解Pepper的基本特征、功能等核心信息；
2. 针对每个问题，回到原文定位对应段落，提取关键内容；
3. 注意题目要求答案不超过8个单词，需对提取的信息进行简洁整理，确保符合字数限制。
比如第1题找Pepper特殊的原因，定位到第二段首句；第2题找外貌特征，定位到第三段首句；第3题找自然灾害中的帮助方式，定位到第五段末尾；第4题对比Pepper和Rosie，定位到第四段；第5题是主观评价，结合文章中Pepper的作用给出合理看法即可。
【解析】
1. 定位原文第二段第一句“Pepper is the first robot to read human feelings.”，由此可知Pepper的特别之处是能读懂人类情感，整理为符合要求的原因句：Because it can read human feelings.
2. 定位原文第三段第一句“The man-like robot looks like a small girl.”，直接提取外貌描述：It looks like a small girl.

4. 定位原文第四段内容，Rosie会做家务，Pepper主要提供娱乐，可知二者用途不同，整理为：They help people in different ways./They have different uses.
5. 结合Pepper能提供娱乐、帮助困境人群的作用，给出合理主观评价：I think they're helpful.
