试题分析：本文讲述的时在韩国现在机器人教师很受学生欢迎，他们不会生气，但又具有人类教师的能力，韩国政府对此有很大的兴趣，表示希望这些机器人教师可以到偏远的地方教学，普及教育。

1.more patient 考查比较级。根据前文的Compared with human teachers（与人类教师相比），故可知此处应该用比较级。故填more patient。

2.why 考查连词。句意：这就是为什么孩子们总是能和他们的机器人老师相处得很好的原因。故填why。

3.were sent 考查被动语态。此处的机器人教师是被送到小学教学的，应该用被动语态。故填were sent。

4.Equipped 考查动词。此处用过去分词表示被动，教室装备有麦克风和视频摄像头。故填Equipped。

5.confidence 考查词性。此处指的是建立自信，应该用名词形式。故填confidence。

6.which 考查定语从句。此处的先行词是other robot teachers，应该用which引导，不用who，因为并不是人。故填which。

7.in/at 考查介词。be used in/at 一般指用在某方面，后面多接名词指用在某范围方面，用在此处符合题意。故填in/at。

8.To give 考查固定用法。此处用to do表示目的。故填To give。

9.developing 考查固定用法。In是介词，后面应该用动名词形式。故填developing。

10.completely 考查副词。此处修饰动词replace，应该用副词形式。故填completely。

语法填空的解题技巧

语法填空是通过语篇在语境中考查语法知识的运用能力。我们在解题前应快速浏览短文掌握大意，有把握的空格可以进行填写。在读懂的基础上，再结合短文提供的特定的语言环境去逐句分析逐题解答。按题型设计分三种情况：

1. 纯空格试题的解题技巧

首先分析句子结构，根据所缺成分确定哪类词。然后，根据句子意思，确定具体填什么词，或根据两句间的逻辑关系确定具体用哪个连词。比如第66小题，查定语从句。此处的先行词是other robot teachers，应该用which引导。故填which。

2. 给出了动词的试题解题技巧

首先，判断要填的动词是谓语动词还是非谓语动词。若句子没有别的谓语动词或者虽然已有谓语动词，但需填的动词与之是并列关系，所给动词就是谓语动词，若是谓语动词就要考虑时态和语态；若句子有谓语动词则用非谓语动词（动词不定式、现在分词、动名词和过去分词）。比如第69小题，考查固定用法。因为前文是has expressed great interest in，后面应该用动词的现在分词形式。故填developing。

3. 词汇转换题解题技巧

这类题主要考查名词、形容词和副词。根据盖茨在剧中所做句子成分确定用哪种形式。比如第70小题，考查副词。此处修饰动词replace，应该用副词形式。故填completely。
