【解析】试题分析：一款全方位模拟人类的机器人投入Larry的家庭进行试用，由于高度模拟人类，引出了许多啼笑皆非的事情。

【1】which 考查非限制性定语从句的关系词。Which代指上文出现的a household robot，作从句的主语，非限制性定语从句里指代物体只能用which。

【2】the考查代词。事实上，Claire并不想让这个机器人在她家，用定冠词the+一个名词，表示特指上文提到的物体。

【3】absent考查形容词。丈夫不在家，be动词后面应该用形容词，故填absent。

【4】to be harmed考查不定式作宾语补足语。固定搭配allow sb. to do sth.允许某人做某事，Larry说这个机器人不会伤害她，也不允许她收到伤害，故填不定式的被动式to be harmed。

【5】with考查介词。根据句意，机器人很高而且很帅，长着光滑的头发，用with表示“带有”。

【6】wearing考查现在分词作状语。该句的谓语为后面的brought，所以“穿着”应该用非谓语，用现在分词表示和Tony是主动关系。填wearing。

【7】if/whether考查连词。机器人还会问她是否需要帮助穿衣。这里用if/whether引导宾语从句，表示是否。

【8】It考查代词。用it作形式主语代替后面的that从句。

【9】she考查代词。这句是说Larry妻子感觉自己快不如机器人聪明了，所以说这话的时候肯定很不开心。

【10】began考查过去式。本文都是用的一般过去时，所以填began。
