Ecobee3 Smarter WiFi Thermostat
Smart thermostats have become the face of smart home technology for most, but depending on what your home is like, it's possible to say the ecobee3 is superior.
Most of the smart thermostats carry the same benefits,including the ecobee3. They can learn your preferences and schedules, and then adjust the temperature accordingly. They're better-looking and more enjoyable to use than the basic pieces of plastic that occupy most households. Their very presence will probably make you more conscious about saving energy .And once you're able to heat up or cool down your house from your phone, without having to get out of bed, you won't want to go back.
If you live in a larger household, the ecobee3 can be much more convenient-provided you pick up a couple more remote sensors. Yes, it gets pretty expensive at that point, but having those gives you effective control over the temperature in different rooms around your house. In comparison, other thermostats' measurements are largely limited to the area in which they're installed(安 装).
If you live in a smaller place, that's no big deal; the ecobee3 still has distinct advantages. It is touch-enabled and more spacious, making it less annoying when you want to enter a WiFi password, see Weather information, and so on.
Still, all the smart thermostats are pretty great. Which one is best just depends on whether you need a whole-home solution or a more straightforward one. For now, if it's the former, go with the ecobee3.
Ecobee3 Smarter WiFi Thermostat with Remote Sensor, available at all shopping websites.
1：What is the function of the ecobee3
A. Planning schedules. B. Making decoration.
C. Adjusting temperatures. D. Storing information.
2：According to the passage, one of the advantages of the ecobee3 is that
A. it can be operated easily by phone
B. it has different sizes
C. it is a product without using energy
D. it follows the same pattern
3：What makes the ecobee3 superior
A. It costs less than those similar products.
B. It may work without access to WiFi networks.
C. It is more effective with fewer remote sensors.
D. It can control the temperature in a larger area.

I had never been more anxious in my life.I had just spent the last three endless hours trying to get to the airport so that I could travel home.As I watched the bus driver set my luggage on the airport sidewalk,I realised that my anxiety had only just begun.
This was my first visit alone to the international terminal of the airport,and nothing was familiar.I could not make sense of any of the signs.Where was the check-in counter Where should I take my luggage I had no idea where to go,feeling as if I were deaf and blind and stupid.I began to panic.What time was it Where was my plane I had to find help because I could not be late!
I tried to ask a passing businessman for help,but my words all came out wrong.He just frowned and walked away.What had happened I had been in this country for a whole semester,and I could not even remember how to ask for directions.This was awful!Another bus arrived at the terminal,and the passengers came out carrying all sorts of luggage.Here was my chance!I could follow them to the right place,and I would not have to say a word.
I dragged my enormous suitcase behind me and followed the group.We finally reached the elevators.Oh,no!They all fit in it,but there was not enough room for me.I watched in despair as the elevator doors closed.I was abandoned again!I had no idea what to do next.I got on the elevator when it returned and stared at all the buttons.Which one could it be I pressed button 3,because I thought I saw those passengers pressed 3,though it was no more than a quick glance.The elevator slowly climbed up to the third floor and came to a stop.A high,unpleasant noise announced the opening of the doors,and I looked around shyly.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Tears formed in my eyes as I saw the empty hall and realised that I would miss my plane.
When I turned to thank him for all his help,he was gone.

Tears formed in my eyes as I saw the empty hall and realised that I would miss my plane.Just then an elderly airport employee walked towards me from the corner.He saw that I was lost and asked if he could help in any way.He gave me his handkerchief to dry my tears as I related my predicament.He smiled kindly,and patted my shoulder to ease my anxiety,before leading me down a long hallway.We walked up some stairs,turned a corner,and at last,there was the check-in counter!He led me past all the lines of people and pushed my luggage to the inspection counter.
When I turned to thank him for all his help,he was gone.I never got an opportunity to know that kind man’s name,but I would always remember his unexpected kindness.He helped me when I needed it most.Without his timely help,I would have certainly missed my plane.I can only hope that one day I will be able to do the same for another traveller who is suffering through a terrible journey.

Dear Jack,
On hearing that you have been addicted to tiktok recently, I feel terribly sorry and can’t wait to write this email in reply to your problem.
Actually, it is commonly seen that a growing number of teenagers get crazy about tiktok, spending plenty of time watching and sharing videos online, which makes it hard for them to focus on study. However, action must be taken before things get worse. In my opinion, you’d better try and develop other hobbies. Besides, communicating with friends face to face will do the trick. Only in this way will you shift your attention and form good habits.
I do hope my suggestions will be helpful to you. Looking forward to your good news.

六：语法填空
本文主要介绍了“丝绸之路”名字的由来及其发展历程。
1.relatively 考查副词。修饰形容词recent,用副词,所以填relatively。
2.has been accepted 考查时态语态。由Since then可判断出用现在完成时,且the term与accept之间是逻辑上的被动关系,所以用现在完成时的被动语态。
3.to look 考查非谓语动词。be eager to do sth“渴望做某事”。
4.which 考查定语从句。此处是一个非限制性定语从句,关系词在从句中作主语,指物,所以填which。
5.leading 考查非谓语动词。lead与其逻辑主语Researchers之间是主动关系,所以用动词-ing形式。
6.in 考查固定词组。in the history of“在……历史进程中”。
7.buildings 考查名词复数。many修饰可数名词复数,所以填buildings。
8.impressive 考查形容词。修饰名词network,用形容词,所以填impressive。
9.but 考查连词。not only...but (also)...“不仅……而且……”。
10.has become 考查时态。根据句意可知,此处表示过去发生的事情对现在的影响,所以用现在完成时。
七：应用文写作
I used to believe that my deskmate was born a winner.
Although we take the same English class in the same classroom， she does better than the rest of us in English, especially spoken English. But as 1 paid more attention to her.1 found that she spent more time than us in learning English. Every morning， she gets up earlier than us and goes to the playground to practice speaking English and every evening when we are chatting. she listens to BBC news.
From her experience, I have learnt it is her efforts that make her a winner. 1 firmly believe that no one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own efforts. Winners are made. not born.
