解析试题分析：短文大意：这篇短文主要讲述了机器人在我们生活中的应用，并举例来说明机器人能做哪些事情。
【小题1】句意：自从那时起，机器人在电影中出现了。结合语境可知本句描述的是从过去一直持续到现在的动作，故用现在完成时态。主语robots表示复数含义，故助动词用复数。填：have appeared，出现。
【小题2】句意：在一些电影当中，他们比人类强大，快速而聪明。本句表示在人类和机器人之间的对比，故填介词than，比。
【小题3】句意：在真实的生活中机器人主要应用在工厂当中。本句不缺少谓语动词，根据做给单词，可知填副词mainly，主要地，作状语。
【小题4】句意：当今，许多残疾人都有一条导盲犬来帮助他们。动词不定式做宾语补足语，表示具体的动作，根据所给单词，可知填动词不定式to help，帮助。
【小题5】句意：一种导盲犬有轮子。只有一个轮子是肯定能独自行走的，根据后一句描述，可知此处应是多个轮子。故填复数名词wheels，轮子。
【小题6】句意：主人身上系一条特殊的“带子”。本句描述的是客观性事实，故用一般现在时态。主语the owner是单数第三人称，故谓语动词用单数。故填wears，穿戴。
【小题7】联系后半句描述，可知这条带子向主人发出指令。故填介词to，到，向。
【小题8】结合语境可知这种机器人是帮助这些残疾人来照顾他们自己。根据所给单词，可知填单身代词themselves，他们自己。
【小题9】联系后半句描述，可知此处指的是在一家医院。故填单数名词hospital，医院。
【小题10】联系上下文，可知前后是转折关系，位于句首且不用逗号隔开的转折连词有though和although，故填Though/Although尽管机器人能在很多方面帮助人类，但是它们永远不能代替人类。
