1. Do you think there will be robots in peoples homes? 你认为人们家里将来会有机器人吗?
【点拨】 There be句型的一般将来时,可用There will be ... 或There is going to be ...。例如:
There will / is going to be a basketball match this evening. 今天晚上有一场篮球赛。
2. Will people use money in 100 years? 100年后人们还用钱吗?
【点拨】 介词in后面接表示一段时间的名词短语,意为“在……以后”,一般与一般将来时连用。例如:
He will be back in three days. 他将在三天后回来。
3. Ill live in Shanghai, because I went to Shanghai last year and fell in love with it. 我将会居住在上海,因为我去年到上海去了,而且喜欢上了它。
【点拨】 fall in love with是一个固定短语,意为“喜欢、爱上”,通常指突然间爱上某人或某物。例如:
They fell in love with each other. 他们相爱了。
4. On the weekends, Ill be able to dress more casually. 在周末,我可以穿得更随便些。
【点拨】 dress作“穿”讲,意为“穿衣”,后面不能接表示衣服的词,但后面可接人作宾语。例如:
Get up and dress quickly. 快起床穿衣。
The girl can dress herself. 这个女孩能给自己穿衣服了。
5. There were many famous predictions that never came true. 有很多著名的预言根本没有实现。
【点拨】 come true是一个固定短语,意为“实现、成为现实”。例如:

6. Some scientists believe that there will be such robots in the future. 一些科学家相信将来会有这样的机器人。
【点拨】 so与such都有“如此、这样”的意思。such是形容词,意为“这样的、这种”,可修饰可数名词的单数、复数形式或不可数名词。修饰可数名词单数时,such要放在不定冠词的前面。so是副词,用来修饰形容词或副词;当名词前有many, much, few, little等表示数量的词修饰时,也要用so。例如:
Ive never seen such beautiful flowers. 我从未见过这样漂亮的花。
7. I need to get some money to pay for summer camp. 我需要得到一些钱来为夏令营付款。

8. No, he doesnt have any money, either. 不,他也没有钱。
【点拨】 either作“也”讲时,一般用于否定句中;too, also作“也”讲时,用在肯定句或疑问句中。
9. I need some money to buy gifts for my family. 我需要一些钱给我家人买礼物。
【点拨】 动词buy后面可以接双宾语,即buy sb. sth,也可用buy sth. for sb.来表达。
10. Everyone else in my class was invited except me. 除了我之外,我班其他人都受到了邀请。
【点拨】 except是介词,意为“除……之外”,即从整体中除去,不包括在内。例如:
He works every day except Sunday. 除了星期天外,他每天都工作。
11. You left your homework at home. 你把作业落在家里了。
【点拨】 表示“把某物忘在某地”,要用“leave + 某物 +地点”。而forget表示“忘记”时,一般指忘记某事,不与地点连用。例如:
I left my key at school. 我把钥匙忘在了学校。
Im sorry I forgot his name. 对不起,我忘了他的名字。
12. What was the girl doing when the UFO took off? 当飞碟起飞时,那个女孩在干什么?
【点拨】 1) 过去进行时由“was / were +动词的现在分词”构成,表示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间内正在进行或发生的动作。常与过去进行时连用的时间状语有at that moment, at this time yesterday, at nine oclock yesterday等以及由when或while引导的过去时间状语从句。例如:
I was doing my homework at eight oclock last night. 昨天晚上八点我正在做作业。

2) 句中的take off意为“起飞”。take off还有另一个意思是“脱下”。例如:

The plane took off ten minutes ago. 飞机10分钟前就起飞了。
13. You were supposed to meet at the bus stop this morning to return it. 你应该今天早上在车站见面以归还上衣。
【点拨】 be supposed to意为“理应;应该”,后面跟动词原形,相当于should。例如:
Everyone is supposed to wear a seat belt in the car. 在汽车里每个人都得带上安全带。
14. If you do, the teacher wont let you in. 如果你那样做,老师不会让你进去。
【点拨】 如果主句用了一般将来时,那么以if引导的条件状语从句要用一般现在时来替代一般将来时。if引导的条件状语从句既可放在主句之前,也可放在主句之后;放在主句之前时,要用逗号与主句隔开。例如:
If it doesnt rain tomorrow, we will go the park. 如果明天不下雨,我们就去公园。
15. If you become a professional athlete, youll be able to make a living doing something you love.如果你成为一名职业运动员,你就可以做你喜爱做的事来谋生。
make a living (by)意为“以……谋生”,介词by后面可接名词、代词、动词-ing形式,有时by也可省略。例如:
