1.More advances in the robot technology _______ by scientists in the future.
A. are making
B. are made
C. will make
D. will be made
【精析】D 根据句中的时间状语in the future(在未来)可知，此处表示的是将来要发生的事情，所以本句应用一般将来时。根据句意和空后的by可知，More advances与make(取得)之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，所以应用一般将来时的被动语态，即谓语动词用“shall/will be+过去分词”的形式。故选D。此外，过去将来时表示在过去某时看来将要发生的动作或存在的状态，其表示方式有“should/would+动词原形”“was/were+现在分词(仅限位移动词)”“was/were+不定式”等。
