周计划:英语完形填空(中考冲刺)(五年经典版)试读：
前言
看着市场上浩如烟海、质量参差不齐的中学英语教辅图书，有一个想法在我们心中由来已久，那就是编写一套真正内容扎实、效果明显、让同学和家长们的每一分钱都不虚掷的中学英语阅读理解和完形填空丛书。经过精心选编和翻译，经过无数次推敲和取舍，现在，这套丛书终于完稿了。以下是它们的五个主要特点，希望对您有所帮助。
一、内容经典，所有篇目均选自历年中、高考真题。我们尤其注重英文的地道和原汁原味，剔除了某些由中国人撰写的、带有明显汉语思维痕迹的中、高考文章。
二、循序渐进，按内容的难度进行分级。整套丛书从初一至高中难度逐渐抬升，让阅读者的英语水平在不知不觉中得到提高。
三、疑难词、关键词注释，力求重点突出。特别是给出了相应的例句，便于阅读者彻底掌握这些词汇。
四、全文翻译，彻底解决读不懂、读不透、练习做了很多但水平提升缓慢的问题。您可能早已注意到，超过99％的中学英语教辅书籍是没有翻译的，为什么？因为翻译的难度最大、对编者的挑战最高。所以我们查阅了大量资料，尽力提供最为准确、流畅的译文，力求使同学们读一篇就彻底消化一篇。
五、采用五篇完形填空的周计划模式，并在周末补充生词强化及幽默故事。全书共22周，一周之内每天读一篇，题量不大便于坚持，以达到循序渐进的目的。
本书出版后受到了读者欢迎。为进一步提高质量，修订时删减了部分过难的篇目，题型更加多样化，包括首字母填空、选词填空、完形填空等，以期更适合学生使用。
此外，为了将“全文翻译，彻底解决读不懂、读不透”的理念贯彻到底，从“帮助读者最大化提升阅读能力”的角度出发，我们还随书赠送《中考英语词汇》有声电子书，扫描二维码即刻下载！英语阅读能力的提升犹如筑建一座高楼大厦，里面的一砖一瓦就是你平时读书、练习时所积累的单词、词组、句型，词汇量的拓展才是浇筑好阅读这座大厦的根基！相信在周计划全文翻译的练习巩固下，辅之以中考词汇的完全掌握，阅读不丢分，学霸就是你！
丛书自2010年第一版面市以来，五年间历经数次修订改版，只为将内容加以完善。不足之处敬请读者指正。Term 1上学期第1周（参考答案）Monday

One thing we are sure about robots is that anything you can write about them will already be out of date by the t 1 it is read．
That's how fast robot technology is m 2 ahead．
All over the country and the world，in universities，factories and laboratories，scientists are studying how to build b 3 robots．
The greatest progress in robot making will come in the robot brains，though it's still too early to make a new kind of computer that can“think”like the human brain．Most scientists say computers will go on g 4 smaller，cheaper and more powerful．
Your next robot will be much，much smaller than the one you u 5 now．And that's very good news for anyone trying to build a man-like robot．
We would like our robot to be able to speak，walk and see，just l 6 us．This kind of robot had been made in the laboratory，but it cannot talk much，and cannot“see”all the things a 7 it．
With tomorrow's faster computers it will be a different story．Robots will be able to see everything and talk to you like a f 8 ．
Another exciting thing is that we are making lot of progress in the robot's senses．It can f 9 and sense things around it．
We believe that many built-in sensors will let your next robot feel the shape of the thing it is holding in hand．They will also let the robot p 10 up anything，from an egg to heavy motor part，without dropping it．
