(2016·九江市高三二模)Robots performing tasks according to a predetermined set of instructions are nothing new.But robots able to learn how to cook by watching videos are a completely different approach, which is conducted by a group of researchers at the University of Maryland.
If you have posted a video of your favorite recipe on the popular website YouTube, chances are that it will be used by a robot.University of Maryland's professor Yiannis Aloimonos, leader of the group, said “There exists a large amount of video information on the Internet that our robots can capitalize_on.”
“At present, the videos are fed electronically,”said research scientist Cornelia Fermuller.“Originally, we took our own videos, our cameras looking at us doing the cooking,”she explained.“And, as the robot advances, it reacts to good quality videos.And it will react to even lower quality homemade videos.”
So far, the robot named Julia can make a simple salad by breaking each task into basic parts, such as grasping a spoon, bringing it to the bowl, stirring the salad and observing the results.
But why teach a robot how to understand a video when it can easily follow a fixed program?Aloimonos believes predetermined instructions lack flexibility.He thinks one of the problems is how to make the robot understand and use what it learns during a certain task, the socalled feedback (反馈意见); another is the introduction of language.
“I believe it will take quite some time before the robots are able to understand metaphorical (比喻性的) language,”he added.“But,” he said,“we don't need that to create a new world where the robots will be working for us.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇科普说明文。机器人按既定指令完成任务并不让人觉得新鲜,但能看着视频学做饭的机器人,你可能前所未闻。
1.The underlined phrase “capitalize on” in Paragraph 2 probably can be replaced by ________.
A.take hold ofB.make use of
C.keep track of
D.catch sight of
解析:选B 词义猜测题。由第二段的第一句“If you have posted ...used by a robot.”可知,机器人能利用网上大量的视频信息。结合第二段的最后一句可知,capitalize on应与“make use of”意思相近,因此选择B项。
2.Aloimonos probably agrees that at present the robot ________.
A.can not fully digest what it learns
B.can not make a simple salad
C.can follow homemade videos
D.can understand metaphorical language
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段Aloimonos的话可知,该机器人目前还不能理解比喻性的语言。根据倒数第二段的最后一句可推知,Aloimonos可能认为目前该机器人还不能完全消化它学的东西,应选择A项。
3.Robots are taught to understand a video mainly because ________.
A.they can easily follow fixed programs
B.they are smart enough to learn cooking
C.cooking videos are more interesting to watch
D.predetermined instructions are not flexible
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的前两句可知,教机器人理解视频是因为预定指令不够灵活,应选择D项。
4.Which of the following might best serve as the title of the passage?
A.Robots Creating a New World
B.Robots Making Cooking Videos
C.Robots Learning to Cook by Watching Videos
D.Robots Performing Tasks by Following Instructions
解析:选C 标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了通过观看视频学做饭的机器人,因此C项是最佳标题。

(2016·银川一中高三年级第三次月考)
Life in 2060
Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let's make believe (假装;虚构) it is about 45 years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Voyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are airconditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.
Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.
People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animal decreases. Therefore, people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our life in 2060.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。2060年我们的生活会是什么样子,作者为我们描绘出了一番景象。
5.When was the passage written?
A.In about A.D. 2060.
B.In about 1960.
C.In about 2017.
D.In about 2015.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第一段的前两句可知,2060年在45年之后,因此写文章的年份大约是2015年。故选D。
6.According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060?
A.Many other animals.
B.Many tourists.
C.Many plants.
D.A sea.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知,去月球旅游成为了常态,每天都有游客去月球旅游。故选B。
7.What will people eat then according to the passage?
A.Biscuits in pill form. B.Foods in pill form.
C.Foods in water form.
D.Foods in gas form.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,到那时很多食物都是以药片的形式出现的。故选B。
8.The passage tells us that in 2060, ________ on the earth than now.
A.the crops are getting better
B.there are more pests
C.there are fewer people
D.there is less water
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第四段的后两句可知,庄稼不再遭受害虫的侵袭,每年都是大丰收。故选A。
C
(2016·银川质量检测)Many of the world's countries have reached or are approaching zero population growth (ZPG). Nearly all such lands are economically well developed. They include much of Europe (including Russia), the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australia. As the rate of natural increase (RNI) declines, two things happen. First, the population begins to decline if the loss is not balanced by immigration. Second, a country's population ages because there are fewer births.
Is achieving ZPG good or bad? What happens when a country's population begins to drop? Many people, after all, believe that population decline is a good thing. But is it good for everyone? Does everyone agree?
An aging population can create many problems. Senior citizens require more health care and medical attention. Rather than paying into retirement programs, they begin to draw from their pensions. In the US, the Social Security program, according to many experts, will be used up by 2018. It will pay out more money than it takes in. Additionally, a great number of jobs go begging in search of people willing or able to do them. Many of these jobs are entrylevel positions that pay low wages. With an aging population, who will fill them? At the other extreme, some positions require a large number of training and highly specialized skills. Who will fill these positions as retirees leave the workforce?
The answer to the problem of declining and aging population is simple: increased migration. Today many people, particularly those from less developed countries, are migrating in search of employment. Many are willing to take jobs that cannot (or will not) be filled by the_domestic_population. Others are well educated and highly skilled. Both groups contribute to a country's economy progress in many ways. Further, they add to the richness of a country's culture. Of greatest importance, perhaps, is the fact that they have become absolutely necessary to the economy of many lands. As you can see, for many countries and for most immigrants, migration is a winwin situation.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。许多发达国家正在或即将经历人口零增长,这是利还是弊?作者认为,人口零增长会导致人口老龄化,从而导致劳动力不足,加大社会福利负担,不利于国家的经济发展。所以增加移民是解决这个问题的办法,因为增加移民既能解决劳动力不足的问题,又能引进人才,丰富文化,带动经济发展。
9.In the writer's view, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A.Not everyone agrees that achieving ZPG is absolutely good.
B.Achieving ZPG is every country's aim in spite of its side effects.
C.Achieving ZPG is bad for senior citizens.
D.Achieving ZPG is good for employment.
解析:选A 推理判断题。第三段作者认为:人口零增长会导致人口老龄化,从而导致劳动力不足,加大社会福利负担,不利于国家的经济发展。由此可知,作者认为人口零增长有一些不利之处。故A项正确。
10.According to the passage, the best way to solve the problem of declining and aging population is ________.
A.to improve the health care system
B.to increase RNI
C.to increase employment
D.to increase migration

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2016·山东省实验中学一模)I passed my driving test at the fourth attempt. You might think that means I'm not as safe as someone who passed on their first attempt. But would you feel safer with no driver at all? Maybe not, and that's why automotive firms have included driverassist functions in their driverless cars. This allows the human driver to take over if there is a problem.
Google is one producer that has prototype driverless cars. These cars have been newly equipped with autosteering wheels and conventional controls to allow normal driving. But this is just a stage — the vision is to have fully automated cars very soon. The director of Google's selfdrive project, Chris Urmson, hopes his 11yearold son will never have to take a driving test. To achieve that, the cars need to be on the roads in five years. He says driverless cars will greatly reduce accidents and traffic jams.
According to Chris, about 1.2 million people are killed on the roads around the world each year. That number is equivalent to a jet falling out of the sky every day. He thinks gradual changes to existing car designs are not enough to deal with the problems. “If we are really going to make changes to our cities, get rid of parking lots, we need selfdrive cars,” he says.
Google's prototypes have covered over a million kilometers on the road. They have also had to deal with unexpected situations, such as a child driving a toy car in the road, and a woman in an electric wheelchair chasing a duck. In each case, the car reacted safely.
Some are not convinced. Sven Beiker of Stanford University thinks driverless cars will still need human input in extreme circumstances.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。无人驾驶汽车尽管能够减少交通事故和交通堵塞,但是,它的安全性还有待验证。

A.traditional cars are harmful for kids
B.his son is not good at driving

Dear Susan,
Thank you for your letter. Due to the fact that I am on business in another city, I couldn't reply to your letter in time. Now I am writing to tell you that my city has done to reduce traffic jams in the last few years.
First of all, two subways and some expressways have built in my city to ease the traffic pressures. Second, oneway traffic is allowing on some main streets to reduce traffic jams and accidents. Third, public transportation has been improved to make convenient for people to take buses. However, the parking fee is raised in the downtown, which helps to reduce the number of cars come in and out.
Now there are more buses and few cars in my city. The traffic is flowing smooth during the rush hour.
Can you tell me something about the traffic in your city?
Yours,
Li Hua

参考范文:
Some people complain that it is hard to build up a good parentchild relationship because of the generation gap. In my opinion, this mainly results from misunderstandings or a lack of communication.
There isn't such a problem in my family. Whenever I am in a difficult situation or have trouble making decisions, I turn to my parents for advice. They are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me. When my parents have difficulties, they also ask for my advice. I like this way of solving problems. In addition, my parents never force me to do what I don't like. I'm glad I have such good parents.

(限时:15分钟)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2016·大连市第二十高级中学高三月考)The principles about applying for jobs have altered greatly lately. In the past, people preferred a handwritten application letter. However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common to apply for a job through the Internet. You can find information on the Internet about how to apply for jobs. Information can be found about how to fulfill your application letter, the clothes that you should wear and how to carry out the interview itself.
The importance of body language is often mentioned, but doesn't always get the attention it deserves. After all, before a word has even been spoken, your body language will have already given people their first impression of you. Additionally, your body language will also give out a lot more information. Based on your body language it can be seen if you are selfconfident. It can also show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking truthfully or not. Body language can show how enthusiastic you are and if you are a nice person, someone who will take his work seriously, but also someone who has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time. The members of the application committee will ask you questions, but your answers won't only be oral. The committee will not only pay attention to what you say, but also to how you say it! Body language will determine first if it “clicks”, and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds. Everybody uses body language, but it takes place mostly at a subconscious (下意识的) level. Using body language appropriately, you can definitely increase your chances of getting a job.

(2016·唐山市高三一模)A great number of people can get injured or even killed resulting from a human stampede (蜂拥).The bad thing is that a peaceful group of people can quickly turn into a crazy panicked crowd.__1__If you are in a crowd, the most important thing is to make yourself familiar with your surroundings and mentally notice the exits. No matter where you are, make sure you always know how to get out. __2__If you are in a crowd of moving people, wet or uneven ground can be slippery or dangerous, causing you to fall.
Be aware of the general atmosphere of the event, as panic situations can often be expected. When in danger, a few seconds can make all the difference. If you find yourself in the middle of a moving crowd, do not fight against the pressure and do not stand still or sit down. __3__Take advantage of any space that may open up and try to move sideways to the crowd movement where the flow is weaker.
__4__It gives you movement and protects your chest.
If you fall, get up quickly. If you fall and cannot get up, keep moving by crawling in the same direction of the crowd, or if that is not possible, then cover your head with your arms and curl up (蜷缩).__5__ Sometimes, finding a right posture can save your life.
A.Make yourself aware of the type of ground you are standing on.
B.Do not lie on your stomach or back, as this dangerously exposes your lungs.
C.If you are stepped on, you should shout for help.
D.Instead, move in the same direction of the crowd.
E.Keep your hands up by your chest, like a boxer.
F.Stretch your arms to the full length so that you can make more space to move in the crowd.
G.What's worse is that the stampede can be caused while there seems no actual danger.

(2016·华中师大附中高三上学期期中检测)Chinese female scientist Tu Youyou won the 2015 Nobel Prize in medicine on October 5 for her discoveries concerning a novel treatment against malaria (疟疾). This is the first Nobel Prize given to a Chinese scientist for work carried out within China.
Tu shared the prize with Irishborn William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan, who were honored for their revolutionary antiroundworm treatment. 84yearold Tu is awarded this prize for her contribution to cutting the death rate of malaria, reducing patients' suffering and promoting mankind's health. Although she received several medical awards in the past, the 2015 Nobel Prize is definitely the most privilege reward that recognizes Tu's dedication and perseverance in discovering artemisinin (青蒿素), the key drug that battles malariafriendly parasites (寄生虫).
However, her route to the honor has been anything but traditional. She won the Nobel Prize for medicine, but she doesn't have a medical degree or a PhD. In China, she is even being called the “threenoes” winner: no medical degree, no doctorate, and she's never worked overseas. No wonder her success has stirred China's national pride and helped promote confidence of native Chinese scientists.
The fact that Tu has none of these three backgrounds reminds us that science should be more accessible to all. One shall be able to become a scientist no matter what kind of background he or she comes from, as long as one dives into scientific research. There have been discussions on people who really love science but are never able to achieve much during their whole life. Their contributions can never be ignored. They work so hard to prove the wrong way so that the future researchers will be closer to the right one.
As the first Chinese mainland Nobel Prize Winner of natural science award, Tu's recordbreaking winning also serves as a reminder to those who are too eager for instant success. Science is never about instant success. Tu spent decades on scientific research before its value is officially acknowledged. There is no way to measure how much one devotes to science and compare it with how much reward he or she may get.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。中国女科学家屠呦呦获得了2015年度诺贝尔医学奖,作为一名“三无”无医学学位、无博士学位、无海外经历获奖者,她带给我们很多值得思考的东西。

(2016·石家庄高三教学质检二)Almost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart. They will in a lifetime, push the chromeplated_contraptions many miles. But few will know — or even think to ask — who it was that invented them.
Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry.
One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.
On June 4, 1937, Goldman's first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn't wait to see them using his invention.
But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try.
After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts. “Don't you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied.
But Goldman wasn't beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假的) customers.
As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come — those who came bought more. With larger easiertohandle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before.
Today's shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman's original model. Perhaps that's one reason why Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937 — the coming of the shopping cart.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了Goldman发明购物车的原因、经过和结果。
4.What do the underlined words “chromeplated contraptions” in the first paragraph refer to?
A.Baskets. B.Private cars.
C.Suitcases.
D.Shopping carts.
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“... a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart.”可以得出,画线词的意思是购物手推车。
5.What was the purpose of Goldman's invention?
A.It was to prove him to be a good inventor.
B.It was to reduce the burden of his employees' work.
C.It was to make shopping easier and attract more business.
D.It was to help the disabled make shopping easily in his market.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“... make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.”可知,C项正确。
6.Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market in order to ________.
A.attract people to buy things in his market
B.encourage people to use his shopping carts
C.make his market different from the others
D.keep the groceries from being stolen
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第七段中的“... persuade people to give them a try.”可知,他雇一些人假装顾客在超市里面推购物车的目的是想鼓励人们使用他的购物车。
7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Goldman will become very famous because of his invention.
B.Goldman's invention will be regarded as the greatest one in the world.
C.Supermarket business has benefited a lot from Goldman's invention.
D.There will be nothing that can replace Goldman's invention.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知,现今购物车是Goldman发明的购物车的五倍大,那就可能是美国人今天的购物花费是购物车发明之前的五倍的一个原因。由此可推断出,超市的生意从Goldman的发明中受益匪浅。

(2016·甘肃省高三第一次诊断)
Washington D.C. is No.1
It is best known as a city of monument. In the middle of traffic circles or on street corners, you'll find statues, plaques (匾牌), and simple blocks of marble there. They honor the people who helped shape the US.
And on Oct. 20, Lonely Planet, one of the world's largest travel guides, named Washington D.C. the No.1 city in its list of “Best in Travel 2015”.
“The year 2015 is a fantastic year to visit Washington D.C.,” Tom Hall, editorial director of Lonely Planet, told The Guardian. “The 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's assassination (暗杀) makes this year big for Washington D.C. The famous top hat of America's 16th president and the gun that fired the deadly shot will be on display. Add that to its incredible eats, performing arts and museums. The nation's capital is looking better than ever.”
There are a lot of free museums in the city. When British scientist James Smithson died in 1829, he left a will giving his money to the United States to open a museum at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution. It has turned out to be a wonderful gift, and the institution now covers 19 museums. And of course, no Washington tour is complete without seeing the White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court, which are home to the three pillars (核心) of the
US government. But there is more to explore in the center of the US power. It is a city you can walk across, with wideopen avenues, old neighborhoods, and river views.
And as USA_Today notes, diversity is another reason to “fall in love with the city”. “There is a lot of diversity in Washington D.C., seen in its people, its neighborhoods and its landmarks. From Chinatown to Little Ethiopia, visiting the nation's capital is like seeing the world in one trip,” said the newspaper.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,列举了种种理由力证华盛顿是2015年最值得旅游参观的地方。
8.One of the reasons why Washington D.C. is worth a visit in 2015 is that ________.
A.food and performing arts there are much better than anywhere else in the world
B.the top hat of 15th president of America will be on show in the year 2015
C.seeing the museums will make your tour in Washington D.C. complete
D.the diversity of the city offers you an opportunity to see more in one trip
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“diversity is another reason to ‘fall in love with the city’”和“From Chinatown to ... in one trip”可知,多元化的华盛顿可以让你在一次旅行中看到更多,故选D项。
9.Which of the following details is RIGHT according to the article?
A.The 150th anniversary of Lincoln's assassination makes the tour more worthwhile.
B.The first reason why Washington D.C. is worth a visit is that it is the capital of the country.
C.Lonely Planet decides to make Washington D.C. a mostvisited place in 2015.
D.All the museums in Washington D.C. were named after the Smithsonian Institution.
解析:选A 正误判断题。根据第三段中的“The 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's assassination (暗杀) makes this year big for Washington D.C.”可知,林肯被刺杀150周年纪念将成为华盛顿旅游的一大亮点,故A项正确;B项文章中并未提到华盛顿值得一游的第一个原因是它是美国的首都;C项歪曲原文,《孤独星球》的编辑主任介绍了2015年华盛顿的情况,但并不是他们决定让华盛顿成为2015年最值得旅游的城市;D项说所有的博物馆太过绝对。
10.What is USA Today according to the last paragraph?
A.A wellknown company.
B.A newspaper.
C.An advanced institution.
D.A website.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据最后一段“And as USA_Today notes ... said the newspaper.”可知,USA Today 是一份报纸。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2016·山西四校联考三)Last weekend I visited Rome for the first time. I spent three busy days in the Italian capital, seeing lots of tourist attractions and walking down streets lit with Christmas decorations. There are a lot of things I love about the city.
Rome is one of the most ancient cities in the world and is full of wonderful relics (遗迹) from its distant past. These monuments include the Roman Forum and the vast Coliseum where gladiators used to fight each other until death and hunt animals coming from another country. The ruins of buildings and temples are fascinating: you can't quite believe how old they are.
I studied the masterpieces of the Renaissance period at university and was very excited to see them in real life. I walked around the museum in Vatican City and saw plenty of famous sculptures (雕塑). The best part of the visit was, without doubt, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, painted in the early 16th century by the great Michelangelo. It was so breathtaking that I couldn't tear my eyes away from it.
In Rome, there is a lot of food on offer for tourists but some of it isn't of very good quality. I made an effort to find reliable restaurants to taste the popular meals of the region, like pasta with tomato, onion and bacon. I also love eating ice cream and hot chocolate under the Christmas lights.
Rome has not only lots of luxury boutiques (精品店) but also plenty of shops that were more in my price range! It was a perfect opportunity to go and buy presents for my family and friends. There was also a Christmas market, where I bought a sparkly decoration for the tree.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
(2016·南昌市高三一模)We have all seen nervous presenters in classrooms and meetings. One effect of being nervous is moving from side to side. __1__ In fact the audience can lose interest in a speaker who does not move.
How a speaker moves is important. Wholebody movement should be slow and planned to command attention. Such movement helps to communicate confidence.
__2__ But they look at their notes on a paper or at the screen if they have an electronic presentation.
With posture, the typical problem for new speakers is that they are often moving back and forth, and they're not facing the audience. They'll often be facing the white board or the screen with slides and be talking to that rather than talking to the audience. The same thing with eye contact with the audience, they find it really, really difficult, because they'll be looking at their notes, they'll be looking at their computer, they'll be looking at the screen, or they will be looking at the floor. The problem of having notes and trying to talk from notes often is a big problem. __3__ The best way to avoid this problem is to use images and few words for notes instead of sentences. The image should help communicate the point you want to make. Writing a few words with the image on your slide helps you remember that point. Then you can look at the audience while speaking.
__4__ When you practice, remember these important tips: be aware of your posture, eye contact, and gestures.
__5__ Then step by step, you'll become an excellent speaker.
A.So they usually have eye contact with the audience.
B.So they have trouble with eye contact.
C.An important part of public speaking is practice.
D.New public speakers know that they should look at the audience while they speak.
E.A presenter does not need to stand perfectly still.
F.Improve your public speaking with body language.
G.Look for opportunities to speak and gain more confidence.
答案:1~5 EDBCG

(2016·太原市第二学段阶段测评)Landmark College recently put in an additional five speed bumps (减速带), now bringing the number of speed bumps to ten on campus (校园).

One may __3__ that the speed bumps they __4__ will just improve safety and decrease __5__, and it does keep cars at a slow speed and gives pedestrians the __6__ they need for __7__ the road to get to class. __8__, adding too many speed bumps could turn a safety precaution to a danger. The speed bumps down the hill are becoming a __9__. For example, driving over the speed bumps __10__ causing wear and tear on a car. I foresee a future problem happening when it starts to __11__. With snow and ice on the ground, some cars may have difficulty __12__ for these speed bumps on the hill. If ice was on the ground, it is very likely that a driver may lose control and __13__ the bumpy hill.
The administrators who ordered the speed bumps should reach out and talk it out with the students who have to __14__ the speed bumps every day, and ask __15__ any damage or problems have occurred already.
Lately, students have been __16__ anything in their power to avoid as many speed bumps as possible. Some students have even damaged a speed bump or two, but it would be __17__ hours later.
It's no surprise that students at Landmark College are __18__ with the new addition, and with so many students getting angry with the __19__, we could finally get the word out and get the administration to make a __20__.
