解析：
【分析】
本题分为选词填空和阅读问答两部分。解题时，先处理选词填空：通读全文，结合语境、方框词汇及语法规则确定每个空的内容，注意单词形式变化；再处理问答部分：从原文定位问题对应的关键信息，按要求规范回答，开放性问题言之有理即可。
【解析】
（一）选词填空：1. 由后文“Robots are so helpful”及语境，可知此处指能在多处工作的主体，填Robots（句首首字母大写）；2. like doing sth是固定搭配，play的动名词形式为playing，故填playing；3. 此处修饰名词food，用形容词性物主代词your，构成“your favourite food”；4. 由转折连词but及后文“strong”，可知填small；5. take pictures是固定短语，意为“拍照”，故填pictures。
（二）问答：1. 原文提到Star会打乒乓球等球类运动，故回答Yes, it can；2. 原文中Dora对应的机器人会做饭，故回答Dora；3. 原文明确B-eye能飞和拍照，故回答It can fly and take nice pictures；4. 开放性问题，结合自身喜好合理作答即可，示例答案符合要求。
【答案】
（一）1. Robots 2. playing 3. your 4. small 5. pictures；（二）1. Yes, it can. 2. Dora. 3. It can fly and take nice pictures. 4. I like Dora best, because it can cook healthy food.（答案不唯一）
