1．People will have robots in their homes. will（1）情态动词 表示意愿、意图 I will help you. 我愿意帮助你。 （2）助动词 将、会、要 （用于一般将来时各种人称） 一般将来时结构： will + 动词原形 （否定：will not= won’t 口语中在名词后代词后常缩略为’ll） 肯定式：We will come to see you tomorrow. 否定式：I won’t go to Changchun next week. 疑问句：Will they have a test next Monday? 回答： Yes, they will. / No, they won’t. （四）语法 （五）话题 2．【一般将来时】
表示将来某个时间要发生的动作或存在的状态，也表示将来经常或反复发生的动作，常与表示将来的时间状语连用。

Will与shall一般表示纯粹的将来，没有任何的感情色彩，will可用于任何人称，shall只用于第一人称。而 be going to或用动词的进行时表示将要发生的动作的结构，带有较重的感情色彩，一般表示即将发生的、计划之中安排要做的事。用于预测天气时 be going to表示根据迹象推测可能性。Will表示经过科学预测或说话人认为或相信会发生。
It will rain. （动作要发生）
It’s cloudy. It is going to rain.（根据迹象要发生）

答案与解析
1．选B由时间状语in ten minutes 可知应用一般将来时，there be句型的一般将来时用there will be或者there is/are going to be。game为单数，故排除D项。
2．C “这个小孩太小，不能自己穿衣服”四个选项只有dress后可接反身代词，故选C。
五、文化欣赏
一幕之隔的未来:透过科幻电影看现实世界的科技
“科幻电影所描述的是发生在一个虚构的，但原则上是可能产生的世界中的戏剧性事件。”美国科幻小说家赫伯特·W·弗兰克曾提出这样的说法。有人又进一步解释说：“科幻电影是以影片摄制时已被揭示或尚在揭示的科学原理为基础，展现某一虚构世界中的戏剧性事件。”
显然，科幻电影是在委婉地表达着对现实的思考。影片拍摄的根基是科学原理，实质却是现实生活的写照。《星际迷航》、《钢铁侠》、《终结者》、《变形金刚》等影片所展现的可望而不可及的“未来科技”，离我们真的遥远么？或许，只有一层银幕之 隔。
智能机器人
从早期仅具备语音识别功能的简单产品，到现在能走会跳的机器人，我们惊喜地看到机器人技术正在飞速发展。相信不久的将来，科幻电影中高度智能的机器人将会走进真实生活。
电影情节：2008年的屏幕上，最可爱的就是电影《机器人瓦力》中的主角瓦力，从功能上看它有点像升级版的智能型吸尘器。但这不是关键，他和电影《星球大战》中的机器人一样，拥有忠诚、友谊、爱慕等感情，和诸如神经质、面冷心善、“宅”等小性格，以及琐碎的生活细节，和并非由程序设定产生的理念。
现实科技：从机器人的发展历程可以看到，随着机械电子、信息技术、材料学和仿生学等的发展，机器人的性能得到不断提高，应用也越来越广泛。日前，世博会上海企业联合馆“魔方”公布了最新的内部展示方案。目前世界上最先进的工业机器人将在“魔方”入口处展出。此机器人具有自动声音辨别和视觉识别功能，可通过语音程序与参观者互动并能够进行六面体拼图等精彩表演。据悉，该机器人是目前世界上科技含量最高、体形最大的“人工智能机器人”，它身高5米、负重可达1.3吨，将为世博会的参观者充分展示科技之美。

Each day a red cock flaps（拍打）his wings（翅膀）and sings, “Get up. It’s time to get out of bed.” All of the animals jump out of bed. They love to hear the cock’s voice and the cock loves to sing.
“He sings so well,” the hens say. The cock nods and feels very important when he
