"The problem is that all of those types of situations and environment are 【4】 (extreme) unpredictable. And it is very likely that robots and humans in those situations become damaged."

He and other scientists are developing technology so that robots 【5】 (continue) operating after the first sign of injury. They want the machines to have the ability 【6】 (make) changes and continue performing 【7】 they can be repaired.

So far the researchers 【8】 (add) one more operation to the skill of robotsworking under difficult conditions. They say they programmed a new robot, 【9】 with six legs, and a robotic arm to learn how to deal with injury.

Mr. Clune says that once the robots become damaged, they use their knowledge of 【10】 their body works to find a way to deal with the damage.

【8】have added

【9】one

【10】how

【解析】

【文章大意】当狗断了一条腿时，它会最终找到用三条腿走路的最佳办法，然后在很短时间内学会适应这一残疾，现在，科学家研制出具备同样能力的机器人，这种机器人能在出现首次受伤迹象后继续工作。他们希望机器人在修复之前具备做出调整并继续工作的能力。

【1】disability 考查名词。形容词physical修饰名词，故填disability。

【2】in 考查介词。固定短语：用同样的方式“in the same way”， 故填in。

【3】said 考查过去分词。从结构判断此处是过去分词做后置定语，和palce之间是被动关系，用过去分词，故填said。

【4】extremely 考查副词。修饰形容词用副词形式，故填extremely。

【5】will continue 考查动词时态。根据语境可知科学家研制科技的目的是为了将来，用一般将来时，故填will continue。

【6】to make 考查非谓语动词。名词ability后面用不定式作后置定语，意思 “做某事的能力”，故填to make。

【7】until 考查连词。从语境可知科学家希望机器人在受损后能够继续维持工作状态直到得到人们的修理之前，故填until。

【8】have added 考查动词时态。根据so far 判断用现在完成时，故填have added。

【9】one 考查代词。从结构判断此处是同位语，故one。

【10】how 考查连词。根据句子结构判断句子缺少状语，故填how。
