【解析】試題分析：一款全方位模擬人類的機器人投入Larry的家庭進行試用，由于高度模擬人類，引出了許多啼笑皆非的事情。

【1】which 考查非限制性定語從句的關系詞。Which代指上文出現的a household robot，作從句的主語，非限制性定語從句里指代物體只能用which。

【2】the考查代詞。事實上，Claire并不想讓這個機器人在她家，用定冠詞the+一個名詞，表示特指上文提到的物體。

【3】absent考查形容詞。丈夫不在家，be動詞后面應該用形容詞，故填absent。

【4】to be harmed考查不定式作賓語補足語。固定搭配allow sb. to do sth.允許某人做某事，Larry說這個機器人不會傷害她，也不允許她收到傷害，故填不定式的被動式to be harmed。

【5】with考查介詞。根據句意，機器人很高而且很帥，長著光滑的頭發(fā)，用with表示“帶有”。

【6】wearing考查現在分詞作狀語。該句的謂語為后面的brought，所以“穿著”應該用非謂語，用現在分詞表示和Tony是主動關系。填wearing。

【7】if/whether考查連詞。機器人還會問她是否需要幫助穿衣。這里用if/whether引導賓語從句，表示是否。

【8】It考查代詞。用it作形式主語代替后面的that從句。

【9】she考查代詞。這句是說Larry妻子感覺自己快不如機器人聰明了，所以說這話的時候肯定很不開心。

【10】began考查過去式。本文都是用的一般過去時，所以填began。
