We have been busy working on some exciting changes to our free collection displays at Tate Britain. Discover new stories and voices alongside much-loved familiar favourites.
Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose by John Singer Sargent
In Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose (1885) John Singer Sargent paints two children from life as they light Chinese lanterns in a garden of flowers on a twilit summer evening. It took almost a year to finish, probably because he could only paint for a few minutes every evening when the light was exactly right.
Ophelia by Sir John Everett Millais, Baronet
Ophelia (1851) is a visitor favourite, our top-selling postcard and one of the most popular Pre-Raphaelite works in Tate's collection. Millais painted the tragic death of Shakespeare's Ophelia in painstaking detail over many months. Artist, poet and model Elizabeth Siddal posed for the painting, wearing a wedding dress in a bathtub of water in Millais's studio.
Norham Castle, Sunrise by JMW Turner
Norham Castle, Sunrise (1845) is an unfinished painting created late in JMW Turner's career. Turner saw the castle during his first tour of Northern Britain and painted the scene many times in his life.
Dreams Have No Titles by Zineb Sedira
Dreams Have No Titles (2022) is a film combining the artist’s life story with fiction and documentary and using non-professional actors. Sedira, her parents, son and friends all appear in this film about community and connection. It was made during the 60th anniversary of Algeria’s independence from French occupation.

Growing up in Cyprus, Elena felt she was different from other girls — she was interested in biology. But it was a family tragedy that helped shape her determination to major in medicine. “My parents lost their first child because he had Down’s syndrome. He passed away when I was about seven years old,” she says. “And I guess that’s always been playing on my mind and I gradually formed the idea of studying medicine.”
At about 14, she set her sights on studying medicine in the UK. “Despite being a student from a foreign country, I achieved A-levels in all my subjects, considered suitable for medicine,” she says. Now as a consultant surgeon at one of the busiest major trauma (创伤) units in England, Elena has spoken of her successful career and the challenges she has encountered as a female doctor including sometimes having to remind patients suspicious of her that “I am the surgeon”.
Elena’s main job is working with the major trauma team, but is also involved in the team dealing with patients that have severe surgical issues. “When I’m a consultant, I have a position of responsibility not only towards my patients, but also towards the team that I cooperate with,” she says. Working hard, she has never experienced prejudice from other male surgeons, who show great respect for her.
Elena does not shy away from the fact that being a woman has sometimes felt like a disadvantage. “Find what you love doing day after day, because your professional career is a long time, and it takes a lot — probably like 20 or 30 years of your life. Therefore, it’s of great significance to do what you are fond of and then just go for it,” she says.
4. What inspired Elena to pursue a career in medicine
A. A childhood incident. B. Her desire for being different.
C Her interest in biology. D. Encouragement from her parents.
5. What was one challenge Elena faced
A. Gaining acceptance from her patients. B. Achieving A-levels in her English studies.
C. Obtaining good scores as a foreign student. D. Reminding herself about her being a doctor.
6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A Respect from other surgeons. B. Elena’s main responsibilities.
C. Prejudice from Elena’s patients. D. Medical staff’s devotion to the job.
7. What is Elena’s advice on choosing a career
A. Make a long-term professional plan. B. Know your strengths and weaknesses.
C. Follow your passion and determination. D. Understand your career responsibilities.
C
Think back to the last time you take down a quick note or made a grocery list. Chances are, it wasn’t with pen and paper. Over the past decade, keyboards and screens have quietly replaced handwriting in our daily routines, from classrooms to office meetings. Yet, research shows that putting pen to paper offers cognitive (认知的) benefits that digital tools can’t copy.
Brain networks in children are like faint and winding paths in a forest, says Audrey Meer, a professor of neuropsychology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. With practice and experience, these paths can become motorways that connect different parts of the brain to transport information fast and efficiently.
In a study published last January, Audrey Meer and her co-author Ruud Weel looked at brain scans of 36 children who performed writing tasks. The students were asked to write words using a digital pen on a touchscreen device or typing them on a keyboard. The participants’ brain activity during each task was captured through electroencephalogram (EEG) techniques.
“The most surprising thing was that the whole brain was active when they were writing by hand, while much smaller areas were active when they were typewriting,” Audrey Meer says. “This suggests that when you are writing by hand you are using most of your brain to get the job done.”
Moreover, the study reported that the different parts of the brain activated by handwriting communicated with each other through brain waves associated with learning. Audrey Meer says, “We found those variations were active during handwriting but not during typewriting.”
As a result, researchers are encouraging the perseveration of handwriting skills. In Norway, many schools stopped teaching handwriting, instead opting for pupils to write and read on an iPad, a trend Audrey Meer hopes to change through her research.
“I think we should have at least a minimum of handwriting in primary school curricula simply because it is so good for the developing brain,” she says.
8. What message do the underlined words in paragraph 2 seem to convey
A. The Brain networks in children are weak and indirect.
B. The Brain networks in children are positive and stable.
C. The Brain networks in children are associated and simple.
D. The Brain networks in children are efficient and developed.
9. How was the study carried out
A. By testing EEG techniques. B. By assigning writing tasks.
C. By studying published findings. D. By questioning the participants.
10. Why does the handwriting outweigh type writing according to Audrey Meer
A. It engages more areas of the brain.
B. It ensures higher efficiency in note-taking.
C. It represents a person’s thoughts more accurately.
D. It improves children’s spelling and grammar skills.
11. What is the experts’ suggestion for the schools
A. Focusing on teaching typing skills.
B. Encouraging the use of electronic devices.
C. Offering a certain amount of handwriting lessons.
D. Holding various activities for students’ communication.

Babies appear to know how to help those in need, according to researchers who studied signs of altruism in almost 100 children.
Researchers who wanted to see whether children would give up their food to a stranger without encouragement found the kids did just that — even when they were hungry.
The scientists recruited 96 19-month-old children. During the experiments, a child and a researcher sat across from each other. In the control group of the first set of experiments, researchers threw a piece of fruit onto a plate where they couldn’t reach, but the child could. They then waited. In contrast, researchers in the test group pretended to drop the fruit on the plate, then tried and failed to reach it. This signaled to the child that the adult wanted the food.
Among the control group, only 4 percent of the children gave the piece of fruit to the researchers, compared with 58 percent, or over half, in the test group.
Next, the team explored if children would still be generous when it was at a cost to themselves. The first set of experiments was repeated with a separate group of kids before their lunchtime, when they were likely to be hungry. Similarly, 37 percent of the test group handed over their fruit, compared with none in the control group.
The experiments were repeated four times. Researchers got similar results each time. Babies with siblings (兄弟姐妹) and babies from Latino or Asian families shared more of the fruit, the team also found.
Carter Morgan, lead professor of the study, said, “We often think of babies as selfish. But here we find that they are willing to help others even when it comes at some ‘cost’ to the self.”
Addressing why children with siblings or from certain cultural backgrounds were more likely to share their fruit, Morgan said, “We believe this partly reflects what social psychologists call ‘ interdependence’, which stresses on the importance of interpersonal connections and adjusting to others. These social experiences that shape attitudes towards sharing appear to have an effect very early in life.”
12. The underlined word “altruism” most probably means ________.
A. generosity B. creativity
C. friendliness D. confidence
13. What can be inferred about 19-month-old babies
A. They know when to have lunch.
B. They understand signals for help.
C. They can classify different fruits.
D. They can express their needs freely.
14. Which graph best explains the findings of the experiments
A.
B.
C.
D.
15. What can we learn from the text
A. Attitudes towards sharing change greatly as people get older.
B. Babies from families with an only child are not willing to share.
C. It’s easier to control babies’ selfish desires when they are hungry.
D. Social experiences play a role in affecting babies’ behavior of sharing.

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。
We sometimes take our loved ones’ concern for granted and show our worst mood to the family. During my growth, an experience in senior high school stood out in my memory.
As a taxi driver, my dad drove through chaotic streets with heavy traffic. Sometimes he had to deal with rude passengers and struggle with thin income. Despite these, he never complained. Dad was devoted to our family and cared much about us. The sunflower keychain I had given him as a Father’s Day gift in fifth grade had long lost its shine. Yet he had it attached to his leather belt everywhere he went. Every day, he simply headed out early in his worn-out uniform with two patches (补丁) and returned late with a tired but warm smile. When we joked about his “fashionable patches”, he’d laugh and say, “These are my medals of honor!”
As I entered senior high school, my world became overwhelming. Math problems danced in my head. My grades didn’t improve but even declined. School pressures skyrocketed. Even small things would set me off. Dad’s daily “How’s school today ” felt like another weight on my back. I was mean to his inquiries, even though I knew he meant well.
One day after a frustrating exam, I returned home, my backpack strap (肩带) cutting into my shoulder. Dad was calculating the taxi bills then. “Hey,” he said, with a smile on his face, “How is …”
“STOP IT!” The words exploded out of me. “You’re always in my business! Can’t you just...leave me ALONE ”
He froze. The pen he was holding rolled off the table. His face fell, as if I’d thrown cold water on him. Then he stood up slowly and walked to his room. The door shut softly—not a slam (砰地关上), just a quiet click—that somehow hurt me worse.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右;
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was shocked myself and my eyes fell on the keychain, my mind racing.

Babies appear to know how to help those in need, according to researchers who studied signs of altruism in almost 100 children.
Researchers who wanted to see whether children would give up their food to a stranger without encouragement found the kids did just that — even when they were hungry.
The scientists recruited 96 19-month-old children. During the experiments, a child and a researcher sat across from each other. In the control group of the first set of experiments, researchers threw a piece of fruit onto a plate where they couldn’t reach, but the child could. They then waited. In contrast, researchers in the test group pretended to drop the fruit on the plate, then tried and failed to reach it. This signaled to the child that the adult wanted the food.
Among the control group, only 4 percent of the children gave the piece of fruit to the researchers, compared with 58 percent, or over half, in the test group.
Next, the team explored if children would still be generous when it was at a cost to themselves. The first set of experiments was repeated with a separate group of kids before their lunchtime, when they were likely to be hungry. Similarly, 37 percent of the test group handed over their fruit, compared with none in the control group.
The experiments were repeated four times. Researchers got similar results each time. Babies with siblings (兄弟姐妹) and babies from Latino or Asian families shared more of the fruit, the team also found.
Carter Morgan, lead professor of the study, said, “We often think of babies as selfish. But here we find that they are willing to help others even when it comes at some ‘cost’ to the self.”
Addressing why children with siblings or from certain cultural backgrounds were more likely to share their fruit, Morgan said, “We believe this partly reflects what social psychologists call ‘ interdependence’, which stresses on the importance of interpersonal connections and adjusting to others. These social experiences that shape attitudes towards sharing appear to have an effect very early in life.”
12. The underlined word “altruism” most probably means ________.
A. generosity B. creativity
C. friendliness D. confidence
13. What can be inferred about 19-month-old babies
A. They know when to have lunch.
B. They understand signals for help.
C. They can classify different fruits.
D. They can express their needs freely.
14. Which graph best explains the findings of the experiments
A.
B.
C.
D.
15. What can we learn from the text
A. Attitudes towards sharing change greatly as people get older.
B. Babies from families with an only child are not willing to share.
C. It’s easier to control babies’ selfish desires when they are hungry.
D. Social experiences play a role in affecting babies’ behavior of sharing.

【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“In contrast, researchers in the test group pretended to drop the fruit on the plate, then tried and failed to reach it. This signaled to the child that the adult wanted the food. (相比之下，实验组的研究人员假装把水果掉在盘子上，然后试图够到它，但没有成功。这向孩子发出信号，表明大人想要食物)”和第四段“Among the control group, only 4 percent of the children gave the piece of fruit to the researchers, compared with 58 percent, or over half, in the test group. (在对照组中，只有4%的孩子把水果给了研究人员，而在实验组中，这一比例为58%，超过一半)”可知，在实验组中，研究人员作势伸手够不到水果，向婴儿发出需要帮助的信号，有超过一半的婴儿能够领会这种求助信号，而将眼前的水果交到研究人员手里。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Among the control group, only 4 percent of the children gave the piece of fruit to the researchers, compared with 58 percent, or over half, in the test group. (在对照组中,只有 4% 孩子将水果给了研究人员，而在测试组中,这一比例为58%，或超过一半)”以及第五段“Next, the team explored if children would still be generous when it was at a cost to themselves. The first set of experiments was repeated with a separate group of kids before their lunchtime when they were likely to be hungry. Similarly, 37 percent of the test group handed over their fruit, compared with none in the control group. (接下来，该团队探索了孩子们在付出代价时是否仍然表现慷慨。第一组实验在午餐时间之前对另一组孩子重复进行，当时他们可能饿了。同样，37% 的测试组交出了他们的水果，而对照组则没有)”可知，不饥饿状态下，仅4% 的对照组孩子将水果给了研究人员，与之相比58%的测试组孩子会这样做；饥饿状态下，对照组没有一个孩子将水果交给研究人员，与之相比仍有37%的测试组孩子会这样做。故选A项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后段中的“These social experiences that shape attitudes towards sharing appear to have an effect very early in life. (这些培养分享理念的社交经历，似乎在生命早期就产生了影响)”可知，婴孩时期关于分享态度的社交经历，在生命初期已经产生了影响。可知，社交经历对婴儿分享行为有影响。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了广东醒狮这一国家级传统民俗，包括其历史起源、文化寓意、表演特点及其文化价值和传播范围。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：舞狮可以追溯到几千年前的唐朝，还有一个关于皇帝梦见一头狮子救了他的命的传说。此处为谓语动词，陈述客观事实，应用一般现在时，主语Lion dancing是单数，所以用dates。故填dates。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：舞狮可以追溯到几千年前的唐朝，还有一个关于皇帝梦见一头狮子救了他的命的传说。此处为关系词引导的定语从句，从句中不缺主语和宾语，先行词a legend为抽象地点名词，所以此处使用关系副词where，作状语。故填where。
【38题详解】
考查动词语态。句意：后来它被北方移民引入南方。此处为谓语动词，根据语境以及时间状语later可知，动作发生在过去，且主语it（指代舞狮）与introduce之间为被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词为was introduced。故填was introduced。
【39题详解】
考查代词。句意：广东醒狮在明朝（公元1368-1644年）发展成其现代形式。此处修饰名词form，应用形容词性物主代词its，意为“它的”。故填its。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：在中国传统中，人们视狮子为勇敢和力量的象征，它可以驱邪，保护人类和牲畜。symbol为可数名词单数，空前无限定词，结合句意，此处表示“一种象征”为泛指，且symbol是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意：舞狮主要侧重于醒狮的表演，非常注重抓痒、摇鬃毛和舔毛等动作。此处修饰动词focuses，应用副词作状语，main的副词为mainly，意为“主要地”。故填mainly。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：舞狮主要侧重于醒狮的表演，非常注重抓痒、摇鬃毛和舔毛等动作。此处为固定搭配attach attention to，意为“注重”，所以用介词to。故填to。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意：广东醒狮是武术、舞蹈和音乐结合体，不仅在广东和广西两省流行，在东南亚国家的华侨中也很受欢迎，使其成为华侨与民族根源保持联系的文化桥梁。空前有不定冠词a，此处应用名词，combine的名词为combination，意为“结合体”。故填combination。
44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：广东醒狮是武术、舞蹈和音乐的结合体，不仅在广东和广西两省流行，在东南亚国家的华侨中也很受欢迎，使其成为华侨与民族根源保持联系的文化桥梁。此处为非谓语动词作状语，make与逻辑主语The Guangdong Lion Dance之间是主动关系，所以用现在分词making。故填making。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：农历新年是分享和庆祝这一文化和遗产的最佳时机。此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词time，构成the perfect time to do sth.结构，意为“做某事的最佳时机”，所以此处使用动词不定式形式。故填to share。

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。
We sometimes take our loved ones’ concern for granted and show our worst mood to the family. During my growth, an experience in senior high school stood out in my memory.
As a taxi driver, my dad drove through chaotic streets with heavy traffic. Sometimes he had to deal with rude passengers and struggle with thin income. Despite these, he never complained. Dad was devoted to our family and cared much about us. The sunflower keychain I had given him as a Father’s Day gift in fifth grade had long lost its shine. Yet he had it attached to his leather belt everywhere he went. Every day, he simply headed out early in his worn-out uniform with two patches (补丁) and returned late with a tired but warm smile. When we joked about his “fashionable patches”, he’d laugh and say, “These are my medals of honor!”
As I entered senior high school, my world became overwhelming. Math problems danced in my head. My grades didn’t improve but even declined. School pressures skyrocketed. Even small things would set me off. Dad’s daily “How’s school today ” felt like another weight on my back. I was mean to his inquiries, even though I knew he meant well.
One day after a frustrating exam, I returned home, my backpack strap (肩带) cutting into my shoulder. Dad was calculating the taxi bills then. “Hey,” he said, with a smile on his face, “How is …”
“STOP IT!” The words exploded out of me “You’re always in my business! Can’t you just...leave me ALONE ”
He froze. The pen he was holding rolled off the table. His face fell, as if I’d thrown cold water on him. Then he stood up slowly and walked to his room. The door shut softly—not a slam (砰地关上), just a quiet click—that somehow hurt me worse.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右;
2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was shocked myself and my eyes fell on the keychain, my mind racing.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I knocked at the door and it opened.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1
I was shocked myself and my eyes fell on the keychain, my mind racing. The faded sunflower, once golden and bright, now mirrored Dad’s silent sacrifices. Memories flooded in: him skipping meals to pay for my textbooks, his cracked hands gripping the steering wheel, and the way he proudly called his patches “medals.” My outburst replayed in my head, sharp and ugly. Guilt gnawed at me as I realized his questions weren’t prying—they were his lifeline to my world. The quiet click of the door echoed louder than any argument.
Paragraph 2
I knocked at the door and it opened. Dad sat on the edge of his bed, the sunflower keychain trembling in his hands. “I… I’m sorry,” I choked out. He looked up, eyes weary but soft. “I just wanted to know you’re okay,” he murmured. Tears blurred my vision as I hugged him, his patched uniform rough against my cheek. “Your medals are real,” I whispered. He laughed, a warm sound that melted the tension. From then on, his “How’s school ” became a bridge, not a burden.
