指导：
此类短文填空题，考查同学们全面掌握短文内容，以及综合运用语言的能力。
首先，应将通读本段文字，掌握大意。可知在短文中列举了科学家们的两种观点。
然后，根据2b中短文的内容填空。
问题探究
1.Today there are already robots working in factories. 现在已经有机器人在工厂里干活了。
此句中的working in factories的逻辑主语是robots，但是在这个there be句型中，谓语动词已经有了are，所以work就不能再作本句的谓语动词，而应用-ing形式。这一点在学习和使用there be句型时需要特别注意。
2. Fewer people will do such jobs in the future because they are boring, but robots will never get bored.
此句中的get bored 译为“ 感到厌烦，感到无聊”。其同义词为：be bored
二者的区别：get bored强调动作； be bored 强调状态
英语中有很多过去分词或形容词都可以和get, be 连用。比如：tired，angry 等。例如：
You won’t be bored when you are hungry.
当你饿的时候你就不会觉得无聊了。
If you do the same things month after month, you may get bored.
如果你每月都做同样的事情，你可能会感到厌烦。
