【解析】本文是一篇科技说明文。文中讲述了智能化机器人在人们生活中各个领域中的运用和前景。

【1】考查时态语态。句意：常见的家用电器, 如烤面包机和微波炉, 装有微处理器, 有效地使他们的机器人, 这些机器人一定要照命令做事。本篇文章是介绍科技方面的知识，故用一般现在时。主语是appliances，故用被动。故填are fitted。

【2】考查名词单复数。句意：未来会对这些设备进行更加广泛的探索。空前是these后跟可是名词复数形式。device是可数名词。故填devices。

【3】考查不定式。句意：自动化工厂是第一个在装配线上实施运用机器人技术, 完成一些人类做起来太危险或细微的任务。由于没有连词，可以推断出这是一句话，谓语部分是were，故此空填非谓语动词。表示“要做之事”故用不定式。故填to accomplish。

【4】考查非谓语动词。句意：以整个工厂开始自动化这继续下去。本句话谓语部分是has continued，故此空应该用非谓语动词。又因为with是介词，故应填现在分词。故填beginning。

【5】考查副词。句意：该工厂是完全自动化的。is automated是谓语部分，故需要用副词修饰谓语。故填completely。

学会分析句子成对做语法填空题有极大的好处。如本题：IBM has instituted a “lights off’ factory in Texas that is ___5___(complete) automated我们可以看出来that is ___5___(complete) automated是that引导的定语从句，并且在定语从句中作主语，指代factory。因此可以推断出is automated是谓语部分，故只能用副词修饰谓语动词。

【6】考查谓语动词。句意：最近, Caterpillar已经宣布计划在2021年之前操作机器人重型机械, 并且已经开始将大部分起重机操作转移到远程控制的机器人上。根据句子结构has already begun故此空也应该用现在完成时。故填has announced。

【7】考查非限定性定语从句。句意：这些机器人服从计算机指令的命令。空格前有逗号，obey the orders是动宾结构。故可以推断出此空填连词，并且作主语。再根据句意可以推断出是非限制性定语从句，指代robots。故填which。

【8】考查固定搭配。句意：医疗行业多年来一直利用机器人手术助手。taken advantage of充分利用。故填of。

【9】考查连词。句意：随着医疗成本的上升和老龄化人口需求的增加。rising health care costs 和the increasing needs of an aging population是并列结构。故填and。

【10】考查形容词。句意：医院正计划在有才华的机器人领域进行大规模扩大。robotics是名词，故其前应该用形容词修饰。talented adj.有才能的；能干的。故填talented。
