Getting Around Montreal
Montreal is a city for fun and festivals as dozens of summer celebrations highlight everything. Your best bet for getting around Montreal can be on foot, but there are other options if this isn’t the best mode of transport for you.
The Montreal subway is the best way to get about town quickly. It’s easy to navigate because there are only four color-coded lines: green, blue, orange, and yellow. The subway does not operate around the clock. It stops running from about 1:00 am to 5:30 am.
The bus system is even more extensive and equally recommended. A one-way fare costs $2.50. A strip of six tickets costs $11.50. A one-day tourist card, good for unlimited use, costs $9; a three-day tourist card costs $17. If you’re staying longer, purchase a regular weekly pass for $18.50.
A number of taxis are lined up on the airport’s ground level. Payment must be made in Canadian funds, but some drivers will make exceptions and accept US currency. It costs a minimum of $3.15 for the taxi ride and an additional $1.45 per kilometer. There’s a wait time charge of 55 cents per minute as well before you are picked up.
Like any other major city, Montreal’s rush hour ranks with the best or worst of them. Driving through city traffic is an art because there are a maze of one-way streets and lots of pedestrians (行人). In addition, a summer festival means the closing of some of the busiest streets in the city. Your biggest driving challenge may be when it comes time to park the car, as there are daily parking restrictions for street cleaning, rush hour, and residential parking.
Other ways to travel in Montreal are on foot or by bike. Montreal boasts hundreds of miles of walk and bike paths throughout the region.
1. How many transportation means are mentioned in the text
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.
2 What are you advised to do when taking a taxi in Montreal
A. Increase your wait time for the taxi.
B. Avoid ordering the taxi much earlier.
C. Take US currency whenever possible.
D. Pay an extra tip of $1.45 to the driver.
3. What is the text
A. A guide of ways of traveling. B. A travel journal.
C. A survey on ways of traveling. D. A travel schedule.

In 2019, after retiring from her career as a social worker, Ane Freed - Kernis decided to build a home workshop and devote all of her free time to stone carving. “I might be covered head to to e in dust but I’m happy — it was something I needed more of in my life when I hit 60,” she says.
This appeal has its origins in Freed - Kernis’ childhood. Growing up on her father’s farm in Denmark, she used to wander through the fields with her eyes fixed on the ground, looking for stones to add to her collection. “I’ve always been drawn to the shapes and textures(质地) of stones,” she says.
After moving to England in 1977 and training as a social worker, Freed - Kernis soon became occupied with her busy career and the demands of raising her son. Stones were the last thing on her mind, until her father died in 2005. “He took a stone carving course in his retirement, and I always thought stone seemed so fun but never had the time to look into it myself,” she says. “After he died, I became determined to learn in his honour.”
Signing up for a week-long stone carving course at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Freed - Kernis began to learn how to turn a block of rock into well-designed shapes. “It was really scary at the start because you would spend hours just hammering(锤打).”
Now 65, Freed - Kernis has a thriving small business built largely through word of mouth. She creates 12 to 15 pieces a year that can take anywhere from a few days to three weeks to complete, while her prices range from 200 to 3,000. “I’m making smaller ones,” she says. “I don’t have to depend on the money much, so I want to keep prices in the range that people can afford, mainly just covering costs and labour(劳动力).”
4. Freed-Kernis was first attracted by stones when ______.
A. she was 60 B. she was a child
C. her father died D. she moved to England
5. What can we infer about Freed-Kernis from paragraph 3
A. She never cared about her father.
B. She led a disappointing life in Denmark.
C. She spent lots of time studying stone carving.
D. She learned stone carving under the influence of her dad.
6. How did Freed-Kernis feel when she started stone carving course
A. Hopeful and proud.
B. Confident and satisfied.
C. Nervous and frightened.
D. Impatient and unprepared.
7. Why is Freed-Kernis making smaller pieces
A. They are easier to move by her.
B. They are more affordable to people.
C. She wants to save costs and labour.
D. She is too old to focus on making large ones.
C
In San Francisco, a large group of sea lions move themselves out of the bay waters and hang out on PIER 39, which is a popular tourist destination. According to dock (码头)officials, this is the most sea lions seen in the region in 15 years.
“Over 1,000 sea lions have been counted this week,” PIER 39 harbormaster Sheila Chandor told many different media. “The surge in sea lions is usually a good sign of their strong population and healthy living environment,” said Adam Ratner, Director of Conservation Engagement at the Marine Mammal(海洋哺乳动物) Center in Sausalito, California.
“California sea lions are sentinels(哨兵) of the ocean,” Ratner said. Their population to some extent reflects the health of the ocean. Therefore, seeing a large number of California sea lions is clearly a good thing.
For nearly 35 years, the slippery(滑的) residents have been a star attraction for tourists. That autumn in 1989, PIER 39 had just been repaired, but the ships had not yet been moved back. At that moment, the sea lions unexpected arrival not only attracted fans but also created enemies. According to a website, some dock residents and workers were scared away by the strong and very unpleasant smell and noise of their new neighbors, while others saw these animals as a bright spot after the destructive Loma Prieta earthquake.
The officials sought help from the Marine Mammal Center to find a way to deal with sea lions. Ratner said that the final decision is to let the sea lions stay and coexist with humans. “The fact proves that this is really a good thing,” he said. “This is just a proof of how we can truly work together and think about how we can share our coasts with marine mammals and other wildlife in a way that benefits all the parties involved.”
8. How does the author start the text
A. By describing a situation.
B. By answering a question.
C. By holding a conversation.
D. By comparing different opinions.
9. What does the underlined word “surge” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Sharp increase. B. Tight control.
C. Slow development. D. Sudden movement.
10. What is Ratner’s attitude to the final decision
A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested.
C. Supportive. D. Unclear.
11. What message does the author seem to convey in the text
A. Sea lions are pretty cool animals.
B. Animals and humans can live in harmony.
C. Watching sea lions might not be a proper action.
D. Sea lions should be driven out of PIER 39.
D
While there are already apps that guide blind users to a bus stop’s approximate location, those people may unknowingly end up standing too far away from the actual stop. A new app addresses that shortcoming by letting the smartphone’s camera in on the act.
Known as All_Aboard, the AI-based app was developed by a team of scientists at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts Eye and Ear treatment and research center. It’s made to be used along with a third-party GPS-based online navigational (导航的) map.
Users start by using other apps to get to a bus stop’s location. They then open All _Aboard and proceed to hold their smartphone up so that its back camera can “see” the surrounding street. Drawing upon a deep learning neural network which was trained on around 10,000 images of bus stops within that city, the app is reportedly able to visually identify the target stop’s sign if it’s within a range of up to 15 meters away. Once the sign has been spotted, the app guides the user via sonar-like beeps (哔哔声) which change pitch and speed as the person gets closer to the bus stop.
In field tests, 24 legally blind volunteers used both online maps and All _Aboard to locate 20 bus stops—10 in an urban setting and 10 in a suburban environment.
When it came to getting close enough to those stops, online maps alone had a success rate of just 52%, whereas All _Aboard boosted the number to 93%. Additionally, while the average distance between the map’s endpoint and the actual bus stop was 6.62 meters with online maps, it was just 1.54 meters with All _Aboard.
“Our findings suggest that the All _Aboard app could help travelers with visual impairments (视力受损) in navigation by accurately detecting the bus stop, and therefore greatly reducing their chance of missing buses due to standing too far from the bus stops,” said Massachusetts Eye and Ear’s Assoc. Prof. Gang Luo. “This study indicates that computer vision-based object recognition capabilities can be used in a complementary (补充的) way and provide added benefit to purely mapping-based, macro-navigation services in real-world settings.”
12. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To highlight other apps.
C. To show the new app’s shortcomings.
D To detailedly compare the new app with others.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The importance of camera in smartphones.
B. The potential advantage of the new app.
C How the new app All _ Aboard works.
D. Why users get closer to the bus stop.
14. What can we infer about All _ Aboard from the data given in paragraph 5
A. High accuracy. B. Good reputation.
C. Perfect property. D. More application.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Blind Users Benefiting From Science
B. A New App Is In The Charge Of Its Users
C. Online Maps Needing Improvement To The Bus Service
D. All _ Aboard Making Navigation Efficient For The Blind

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
While it seems like some people are naturally more sociable than others, the fact is that all human beings are social. Armed with some skills, it is possible to train oneself to become more social. ____16____.
Be less critical (批判性的). ____17____. They avoid social interaction because they are afraid of being judged by others, or judgmental toward others. It is important to accept that everybody, no matter how they may seem on the outside, has both positive and negative qualities. What separates the confident people from the insecure people is the attitude that they have toward themselves and the active focus on living a fulfilling social life.
Don’t over analyze your interactions. It is vital to break the habit of anticipating what social interactions will be like before they happen, and of over analyzing them once they are over. Rather than focusing on what may go wrong, approach every new social interaction with a clean state and a positive attitude. ____18____, focus on the positive things rather than the negative ones. Even if it wasn’t the most eventful interaction of your life, try to identify one good experience from each interaction you have, even if it is as simple as having been able to make somebody laugh.
____19____. Interestingly, shy people who feel invisible and unwanted also tend to feel like they are constantly under a spotlight, being watched and criticized by others. This strange paradox (悖论) of shyness is what prevents people from feeling comfortable being themselves in front of others. This doesn’t mean that you should feel like an unimportant person, but rather, that you should acknowledge that you are your own worst critic. ____20____.
A. When reflecting on past interactions
B. Realize that you’re not that big of a deal
C. Just break out of your comfort zone and try them out
D. Other people are simply too busy to constantly judge you
E. While you are so caught up in their own lives and interactions
F. Some people tend to constantly criticize both themselves and people around

The day Dana and Jeff’s daughter Melody was born was nothing like they expected. The words the doctor said to them completely shook them, “Your daughter was born with a cleft lip (唇裂).” It was impossible for the couple to hide their sadness. They couldn’t believe it was true until they saw their daughter in person. Seeing her cleft made Dana and Jeff heartbroken more than anything. It broke their heart to imagine the kind of life Melody would lead in the future.
When the doctor told Dana and Jeff that their daughter’s condition was treatable with a cleft lip surgery (外科手术), the couple saw a ray of hope. Rather than feeling stressful like the first few days, they promised themselves they never wanted their daughter to suffer from that. They would support Melody as best they could.
Dana and Jeff were ready to do anything for Melody. After bringing Melody home, they immediately began looking for cleft surgery options. However, no matter where they turned, getting Melody the surgery she needed was expensive, and the various treatments and medications she needed in the following would also be much more costly than the young family could afford.
One day, however, things took a turn for the better. While browsing through a medical forum one evening, Jeff stumbled upon (意外发现) a post about a nonprofit organization that specialized in cleft lip surgeries for children. The organization, named Smileatfuture, is dedicated to providing free surgeries to families who could not afford the procedure. The couple had seen a lot of photos and read a lot of stories about children who had cleft surgeries sponsored by Smileatfuture, and the results were unbelievable. The idea that Melody could grow up with hardly a scar (伤疤) where her cleft was lit a fire under the couple. Without any hesitation, Dana and her husband reached out to Smileatfuture and handed in an application for medical aid.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；

In 2019, after retiring from her career as a social worker, Ane Freed - Kernis decided to build a home workshop and devote all of her free time to stone carving. “I might be covered head to to e in dust but I’m happy — it was something I needed more of in my life when I hit 60,” she says.
This appeal has its origins in Freed - Kernis’ childhood. Growing up on her father’s farm in Denmark, she used to wander through the fields with her eyes fixed on the ground, looking for stones to add to her collection. “I’ve always been drawn to the shapes and textures(质地) of stones,” she says.
After moving to England in 1977 and training as a social worker, Freed - Kernis soon became occupied with her busy career and the demands of raising her son. Stones were the last thing on her mind, until her father died in 2005. “He took a stone carving course in his retirement, and I always thought stone seemed so fun but never had the time to look into it myself,” she says. “After he died, I became determined to learn in his honour.”
Signing up for a week-long stone carving course at Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Freed - Kernis began to learn how to turn a block of rock into well-designed shapes. “It was really scary at the start because you would spend hours just hammering(锤打).”
Now 65, Freed - Kernis has a thriving small business built largely through word of mouth. She creates 12 to 15 pieces a year that can take anywhere from a few days to three weeks to complete, while her prices range from 200 to 3,000. “I’m making smaller ones,” she says. “I don’t have to depend on the money much, so I want to keep prices in the range that people can afford, mainly just covering costs and labour(劳动力).”
4. Freed-Kernis was first attracted by stones when ______.
A. she was 60 B. she was a child
C. her father died D. she moved to England
5. What can we infer about Freed-Kernis from paragraph 3
A. She never cared about her father.
B. She led a disappointing life in Denmark.
C. She spent lots of time studying stone carving.
D. She learned stone carving under the influence of her dad.
6. How did Freed-Kernis feel when she started stone carving course
A. Hopeful and proud.
B. Confident and satisfied.
C. Nervous and frightened.
D. Impatient and unprepared.
7. Why is Freed-Kernis making smaller pieces
A. They are easier to move by her.
B. They are more affordable to people.
C. She wants to save costs and labour.
D. She is too old to focus on making large ones.

In San Francisco, a large group of sea lions move themselves out of the bay waters and hang out on PIER 39, which is a popular tourist destination. According to dock (码头)officials, this is the most sea lions seen in the region in 15 years.
“Over 1,000 sea lions have been counted this week,” PIER 39 harbormaster Sheila Chandor told many different media. “The surge in sea lions is usually a good sign of their strong population and healthy living environment,” said Adam Ratner, Director of Conservation Engagement at the Marine Mammal(海洋哺乳动物) Center in Sausalito, California.
“California sea lions are sentinels(哨兵) of the ocean,” Ratner said. Their population to some extent reflects the health of the ocean. Therefore, seeing a large number of California sea lions is clearly a good thing.
For nearly 35 years, the slippery(滑的) residents have been a star attraction for tourists. That autumn in 1989, PIER 39 had just been repaired, but the ships had not yet been moved back. At that moment, the sea lions unexpected arrival not only attracted fans but also created enemies. According to a website, some dock residents and workers were scared away by the strong and very unpleasant smell and noise of their new neighbors, while others saw these animals as a bright spot after the destructive Loma Prieta earthquake.
The officials sought help from the Marine Mammal Center to find a way to deal with sea lions. Ratner said that the final decision is to let the sea lions stay and coexist with humans. “The fact proves that this is really a good thing,” he said. “This is just a proof of how we can truly work together and think about how we can share our coasts with marine mammals and other wildlife in a way that benefits all the parties involved.”
8. How does the author start the text

While there are already apps that guide blind users to a bus stop’s approximate location, those people may unknowingly end up standing too far away from the actual stop. A new app addresses that shortcoming by letting the smartphone’s camera in on the act.
Known as All_Aboard, the AI-based app was developed by a team of scientists at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts Eye and Ear treatment and research center. It’s made to be used along with a third-party GPS-based online navigational (导航的) map.
Users start by using other apps to get to a bus stop’s location. They then open All _Aboard and proceed to hold their smartphone up so that its back camera can “see” the surrounding street. Drawing upon a deep learning neural network which was trained on around 10,000 images of bus stops within that city, the app is reportedly able to visually identify the target stop’s sign if it’s within a range of up to 15 meters away. Once the sign has been spotted, the app guides the user via sonar-like beeps (哔哔声) which change pitch and speed as the person gets closer to the bus stop.
In field tests, 24 legally blind volunteers used both online maps and All _Aboard to locate 20 bus stops—10 in an urban setting and 10 in a suburban environment.
When it came to getting close enough to those stops, online maps alone had a success rate of just 52%, whereas All _Aboard boosted the number to 93%. Additionally, while the average distance between the map’s endpoint and the actual bus stop was 6.62 meters with online maps, it was just 1.54 meters with All _Aboard.
“Our findings suggest that the All _Aboard app could help travelers with visual impairments (视力受损) in navigation by accurately detecting the bus stop, and therefore greatly reducing their chance of missing buses due to standing too far from the bus stops,” said Massachusetts Eye and Ear’s Assoc. Prof. Gang Luo. “This study indicates that computer vision-based object recognition capabilities can be used in a complementary (补充的) way and provide added benefit to purely mapping-based, macro-navigation services in real-world settings.”
12. What is the author’s purpose of writing paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To highlight other apps.
C. To show the new app’s shortcomings.
D. To detailedly compare the new app with others.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A. The importance of camera in smartphones.
B. The potential advantage of the new app.
C. How the new app All _ Aboard works.
D. Why users get closer to the bus stop.
14. What can we infer about All _ Aboard from the data given in paragraph 5
A. High accuracy. B. Good reputation.
C. Perfect property. D. More application.
15. What can be the best title for the text
A. Blind Users Benefiting From Science
B. A New App Is In The Charge Of Its Users
C. Online Maps Needing Improvement To The Bus Service
D. All _ Aboard Making Navigation Efficient For The Blind
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款名为All_Aboard的应用程序，这款应用通过智能手机的摄像头和AI技术，帮助视力受损的用户更准确地找到公交车站的位置。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“While there are already apps that guide blind users to a bus stop’s approximate location, those people may unknowingly end up standing too far away from the actual stop. A new app addresses that shortcoming by letting the smartphone’s camera in on the act.(虽然已经有一些应用程序可以引导盲人用户找到公交车站的大致位置，但这些人可能会在不知情的情况下站得离实际的车站太远。一款新的应用程序可以让智能手机的摄像头拍摄到这一过程，从而弥补了这一缺陷。)”，可知，本段提到虽然已经有应用程序可以引导盲人用户到达公交车站的大致位置，但这些用户可能会在不知不觉中站得离实际站点太远。这为文章想要解决的问题设定了背景和情境，随后在下一段中介绍了新的应用程序All_Aboard。因此，段落1的目的是引入文章的主题。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Users start by using other apps to get to a bus stop’s location. They then open All _Aboard and proceed to hold their smartphone up so that its back camera can “see” the surrounding street. Drawing upon a deep learning neural network which was trained on around 10,000 images of bus stops within that city, the app is reportedly able to visually identify the target stop’s sign if it’s within a range of up to 15 meters away. Once the sign has been spotted, the app guides the user via sonar-like beeps(哔哔声) which change pitch and speed as the person gets closer to the bus stop.(用户首先使用其他应用程序来获取公交车站的位置。然后他们打开All - aboard，举起智能手机，让后置摄像头“看到”周围的街道。据报道，该应用程序利用深度学习神经网络，对该市约1万张公交车站的图像进行了训练，如果目标车站在15米范围内，它就能从视觉上识别出目标车站的标志。一旦发现指示牌，该应用程序就会通过类似声纳的哔哔声引导用户，当用户靠近公交车站时，哔哔声会改变音调和速度。)”可知，本段详细描述了All_Aboard这款新应用程序是如何工作的。它提到用户首先使用其他应用程序到达公交车站的位置，然后打开All_Aboard并举起智能手机，使其背面的摄像头能够“看到”周围的街道。接着，应用程序通过深度学习神经网络识别目标公交车站的标志，并通过类似声纳的哔哔声引导用户。因此，该段落主要解释了新应用程序的工作原理。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段“When it came to getting close enough to those stops, online maps alone had a success rate of just 52%, whereas All _Aboard boosted the number to 93%. Additionally, while the average distance between the map’s endpoint and the actual bus stop was 6.62 meters with online maps, it was just 1.54 meters with All _Aboard.(当涉及到足够接近这些站点时，仅在线地图的成功率仅为52%，而全线列车将这一数字提高到93%。此外，在线地图的终点和实际公交车站之间的平均距离为6.62米，而在线地图的终点和实际公交车站之间的距离仅为1.54米。)”可知，本段提供了现场测试的结果，其中提到仅使用在线地图时，接近公交车站的成功率仅为52%，而使用All_Aboard后，这一数字提高到93%。此外，使用在线地图时，地图终点与实际公交车站之间的平均距离是6.62米，而使用All_Aboard时仅为1.54米。这些数据表明All_Aboard在引导用户接近公交车站方面具有很高的准确性。故选A。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Known as All_Aboard, the AI-based app was developed by a team of scientists at the Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts Eye and Ear treatment and research center.

While it seems like some people are naturally more sociable than others, the fact is that all human beings are social. Armed with some skills, it is possible to train oneself to become more social. ____16____.
Be less critical (批判性的). ____17____. They avoid social interaction because they are afraid of being judged by others, or judgmental toward others. It is important to accept that everybody, no matter how they may seem on the outside, has both positive and negative qualities. What separates the confident people from the insecure people is the attitude that they have toward themselves and the active focus on living a fulfilling social life.

Rather than focusing on what may go wrong, approach every new social interaction with a clean state and a positive attitude. ____18____, focus on the positive things rather than the negative ones. Even if it wasn’t the most eventful interaction of your life, try to identify one good experience from each interaction you have, even if it is as simple as having been able to make somebody laugh.
____19____. Interestingly, shy people who feel invisible and unwanted also tend to feel like they are constantly under a spotlight, being watched and criticized by others. This strange paradox (悖论) of shyness is what prevents people from feeling comfortable being themselves in front of others. This doesn’t mean that you should feel like an unimportant person, but rather, that you should acknowledge that you are your own worst critic. ____20____.
A. When reflecting on past interactions
B. Realize that you’re not that big of a deal
C. Just break out of your comfort zone and try them out
D. Other people are simply too busy to constantly judge you

【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍紫禁城的龙图腾。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：在中国丰富的历史遗产中，紫禁城的龙图腾无疑是一个令人惊叹的存在。分析句子结构和意思可知，此处应该用介词among/of，表示“在……之中”，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Among/Of。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：见第1题详解。分析句子结构和意思可知，此处用不定冠词，修饰后面的名词presence，表泛指，空格后amazing的第一个音节是元音音节，用冠词an。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：紫禁城是一座被公认为中国瑰宝的宏伟建筑群，曾是明清两代的皇宫。分析句子结构和意思可知，动词recognize与被修饰的名词短语a magnificent architectural complex之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，用过去分词形式，表示被动，作后置定语。故填recognized。
【39题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：它是世界上现存最大、最完整的古木结构建筑群。根据该句中的 the world’s 以及该空后的最高级 most complete可知，此处应该用形容词的最高级来与其并列。故填largest。

考查非谓语动词。句意：在紫禁城的每一个角落，都可以看到栩栩如生的龙，形状各异，不仅展示出了精湛的工艺，而且具有深厚的历史文化意义。分析句子结构和意思可知，动词show是被修饰的名词dragons主动发出的动作，用现在分词形式，表示主动，在句中作状语。故填showing。
【43题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：更多时候，龙的装饰被称为紫禁城的守护者。根据句中的时间状语 more often 可知，该句应该用一般现在时。主语 the dragon decorations 和谓语动词refer之间是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态结构，be动词用are。故填are referred。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：据摄影师顾彩华介绍，那些雕刻在屋顶上的龙似乎在守护着古老的宫殿，而那些梁上的龙则似乎在诉说着历史的变迁。分析句子结构和意思可知，此处应该用名词的复数形式，表示泛指，作宾语。故填roofs。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The day Dana and Jeff’s daughter Melody was born was nothing like they expected. The words the doctor said to them completely shook them, “Your daughter was born with a cleft lip (唇裂).” It was impossible for the couple to hide their sadness. They couldn’t believe it was true until they saw their daughter in person. Seeing her cleft made Dana and Jeff heartbroken more than anything. It broke their heart to imagine the kind of life Melody would lead in the future.
When the doctor told Dana and Jeff that their daughter’s condition was treatable with a cleft lip surgery (外科手术), the couple saw a ray of hope. Rather than feeling stressful like the first few days, they promised themselves they never wanted their daughter to suffer from that. They would support Melody as best they could.
Dana and Jeff were ready to do anything for Melody. After bringing Melody home, they immediately began looking for cleft surgery options. However, no matter where they turned, getting Melody the surgery she needed was expensive, and the various treatments and medications she needed in the following would also be much more costly than the young family could afford.
One day, however, things took a turn for the better. While browsing through a medical forum one evening, Jeff stumbled upon (意外发现) a post about a nonprofit organization that specialized in cleft lip surgeries for children. The organization, named Smileatfuture, is dedicated to providing free surgeries to families who could not afford the procedure. The couple had seen a lot of photos and read a lot of stories about children who had cleft surgeries sponsored by Smileatfuture, and the results were unbelievable. The idea that Melody could grow up with hardly a scar (伤疤) where her cleft was lit a fire under the couple. Without any hesitation, Dana and her husband reached out to Smileatfuture and handed in an application for medical aid.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150个左右；

【答案】参考范文：
Everything went more smoothly than Dana and Jeff had expected. Within one week they were overjoyed to learn that their application had been approved and that Melody was qualified for the program. Then they made an instant appointment with Smileatfuture. The moment the couple walked into Smileatfuture, they were greeted with warm smiles and a sense of community. Smileatfuture’s team was incredibly supportive, guiding them on everything they needed to do to prepare Melody for her surgery. Knowing that their daughter’s future was in capable hands, they left with a newfound sense of optimism that day.
The big day for Melody’s surgery finally came. All the tests beforehand showed that Melody was in perfect condition for the surgery. The couple’s hearts were overflowing with a mix of anxiety and hope. After what seemed a century’s waiting, they finally had good news that the surgery was a success. Imagining that their girl was on track for a life of joy, loving to run around and play with other kids in the future, Dana and Jeff felt more than relieved and grateful. The couple owed all these to the kindness they received. They also made a promise to pay it forward by helping others in need.
