This evening, an interviewer will be talking to Dr Richard Fairhurst, whose book The New Age of Invention has been published (publish) recently. The interview will be made up of three parts: inventions of the past, inventions of today and inspiration (inspire) for inventions.
There have been golden ages of invention throughout history. For example, the four great inventions in Ancient China made a/the great difference to the world. And there were (be) the great Western inventions: the steam engine, the telephone and the radio. Nowadays, we find ourselves (we) in the great new age of technology. There are many tech-based inventions. Besides, important advances in medicine and environmental science have been made so far because of increasing computer power. For example, intelligent walking houses use GPS technology to travel to different places, with their “legs” controlled (control) by computing technology.
Actually (actual), most inventions start with recognising a problem that needs a solution. That is to say, we have an incredible desire to think and create, so we can have new inventions constantly. That’s the real spirit of invention. Though we are a long way from inventing (invent) something great, don’t give up. As they say, “Never say never!”

答案： 1 has been published 根据时间状语recently并结合句意可知，此处表示已经发生的事，应用现在完成时；book和publish之间为被动关系，应用被动语态；主语为第三人称单数，助动词用has。
2 inspiration 3 a/the 4 were 5 ourselves
6 in advance in为固定搭配，意为“……方面的进展/进步”，故填in。
7 controlled 此处为“with+宾语+宾补”的复合结构，“their ‘legs’”与control之间为逻辑上的被动关系，应用过去分词作宾补。故填controlled。
8 Actually 9 inventing
10 As 此处为as引导非限制性定语从句，as they say表示“正如人们所说”。故填As。

[四川成都蓉城名校联盟2025高一期末]阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Scientists have created a robot shaped like Albert Einstein that can recognise and react to human feelings. Made (make) of special materials, its face changes expressions realistically, resembling human skin. Designers chose Einstein’s appearance because he is widely (wide) recognised and makes people feel friendly. The team aims to build machines that/which can understand human emotions, hoping future robots will use their abilities to help society survive and improve.
The robot uses software to identify emotions like sadness, anger, happiness, and confusion (confuse). It can also guess a person’s age and gender. Developers think that creating such robots is (be) beneficial to understanding how humans react to natural movements and faces. When the robot works well, the results feel magical.
Possible future uses include placing the robot in museums to help (help) visitors from different backgrounds communicate better. It could also provide children with autism (孤独症) or intellectual disability who face learning challenges with help, by teaching them to recognise facial expressions and their meanings. This technology could bridge gaps (gap) in human understanding while offering (offer) practical tools for education and social interaction. The project represents a meaningful step towards machines that can cooperate with humans in helpful, emotionally intelligent ways.

答案： 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家造出的能识别人类情感并对人类情感作出反应的机器人，未来将用于教育等领域帮助促进社会发展。
1 Made 句意为：它的面部由特殊材料制成，能逼真地变换各种表情，看起来像人类皮肤。句中已有谓语changes，所以设空处为非谓语动词，be made of...为固定短语，意为“由……制成”，此处在句中作状语，故填Made。
2 widely 句意为：设计师们之所以选择爱因斯坦的外形，是因为他广为人知且使人感到亲切。设空处作状语，修饰动词recognised，应用副词。故填widely。
3 that/which 句意为：该团队旨在打造能理解人类情感的机器，希望未来的机器人会利用其能力帮助社会得以存续和发展。设空处引导定语从句，先行词为machines，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词that或which引导该从句。故填that/which。
4 confusion 句意为：该机器人利用软件来识别悲伤、愤怒、快乐和困惑等情绪。设空处与sadness、anger、happiness并列，作介词like的宾语，应用名词形式。confuse的名词是confusion，意为“困惑”。故填confusion。
5 is 句意为：开发人员认为，创造这类机器人有益于了解人类对自然动作和面部表情的反应方式。设空处在从句中作谓语，从句主语creating such robots为单个动名词短语，表单数。故填is。
6 to help 句意为：未来可能的用途包括将机器人安置在博物馆中，以帮助来自不同背景的参观者更好地进行交流。结合句意可知，设空处作目的状语，应用动词不定式。故填to help。
7 with 句意为：它还可以通过教面临学习挑战的孤独症或智力障碍儿童识别面部表情及其含义，为他们提供帮助。provide sb with sth为固定搭配，意为“为某人提供某物”。故填with。
分点：provide的常见搭配还有provide sth for/to sb，也表示“为某人提供某物”。
8 gaps 句意为：这项技术可以弥合人类理解上的差距，同时为教育和社会互动提供实用工具。设空处作宾语；gap是可数名词，意为“差距；分歧”，空前无限定词修饰，此处应用复数形式。故填gaps。
9 offering 句意见上一题解析。分析句子结构可知，设空处应用非谓语形式；offer与This technology之间为逻辑上的主动关系，故应用现在分词形式。故填offering。
10 a 句意为：该项目代表着向开发出能与人类以有益且情感智能的方式进行协作的机器迈出了有意义的一步。step为可数名词，此处表示泛指，应用不定冠词，且meaningful的发音以辅音音素开头。故填a。
