【分析】
●本句是There be 句型，television chat show… and cars…是并列。
●过去分词结构hosted by robots做后置定语修饰television chat shows，而限定性定语从句(that will disable them when they offend)则修饰前面的pollution monitors。
●分词结构作后置定语在考研中最常见的语言现象之一，一起来看几个例子：
（1）I know the girl who comes from Beijing. Who充当从句主语，省略后面动词主动语态，省略为coming， 因此句子为I know the girl coming form Beijing.
（2）I have a dog which is named King. Which充当从古主语，省略后面动词为被动语态，省略为named，因此句子为I have a dog named King.
【词汇】
●host [həust] n.主人，主持人；v.主持
【a host of 表示“许多”】
The host bowed us in.

●disable [dis'eib] vt. 使无能，使残废
【注意写作句型中的enable sb. to do sth.使某人做某事】
She was disabled by blindness.
她因失明而丧失视力。
●disabled [dis'eibld] adj. 残废的，有缺陷的
Pity welled up in her heart as she watched the disabled child.

●offend [ə'fend] vt. 触怒；vi.违规
