Answer 1

【答案】

【1】more patient

【2】why

【3】were sent

【4】Equipped

【5】confidence

【6】which

【7】in/at

【8】To give

【9】developing

【10】completely

【解析】

【1】more patient 考查比较级。根据本句前半句“Compared with human teachers（与人类老师相比）”，说明本句涉及两者比较，所以使用比较级“more patient”的形式。

【2】why 考查表语从句。句意：机器人老师从来不生气对学生总是很好，这是为什么学生和机器人老师相处得很好。本句中why引导表语从句，表示原因，从句的内容通常表示结果。

【3】were sent 考查时态语态。本句主语English-teaching robots与动词send构成被动关系，所以使用被动语态。本句的时间状语是last December，这是过去的时间，所以使用were sent。

【4】Equipped 考查过去分词作状语。本句中动词equip与the robot teacher构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词equipped在句中作状语。

【5】confidence 考查名词。本题横线前面有定冠词the修饰，说明横线上应该使用名词作build up的宾语。形容词confident的名词是confidence。

【6】which 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是other robot teachers，关系代词which指代先行词，在从句中作主语，并引导非限制性定语从句。

【7】in/at 考查介词。短语“在学校里”使用介词“in/at”。

【8】To give 考查不定式用法。本句中不定式短语to give rural school children more learning chances（为了给农村学校的孩子更多的学习机会），在句中作目的状语。

【9】developing 考查动名词用法。在介词的后面通常使用名词或动名词作宾语，所以本句中动名词短语developing these robots作介词in的宾语。

【10】completely 考查副词。在英语中副词通常作状语修饰形容词、副词或动词；形容词通常做定语或表语修饰名词；本句中使用副词completely作状语修饰动词短语replace human teachers。

考点: 考查名词、介词、非谓语动词、表语从句等语法知识
