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 (創傷) 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 (認知的) 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. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
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 (補丁) 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 (肩帶) 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 (砰地關上), just a quiet click—that somehow hurt me worse.
注意：
1．續寫詞數應為150左右;
2．請按如下格式在答題卡的相應位置作答。
I was shocked myself and my eyes fell on the keychain, my mind racing.

詞句猜測題。劃線詞所在句“Brain networks in children are like faint and winding paths in a forest (兒童的大腦神經網絡就像森林中模糊蜿蜒的小徑)”把兒童的大腦比喻成“模糊蜿蜒的小徑”。下文“With practice and experience, these paths can become motorways that connect different parts of the brain to transport information fast and efficiently.(通過練習和積累經驗，這些路徑可以變成高速公路，將大腦的不同部分連接起來，快速有效地傳遞信息)”說明只有通過練習和積累經驗，這此小徑才可以快速有效地傳遞信息，由此推知，它們之前是“脆弱且間接的”，與“The Brain networks in children are weak and indirect.(兒童的大腦網絡是脆弱和間接的)”同義。故選A項。
【9題詳解】
細節理解題。根據第三段中“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.

【11題詳解】
細節理解題。根據最后一段中“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 (我認為小學課程中至少應該有一定量的手寫課程，僅僅是因為它對大腦發育非常有益)”可知，專家建議學校提供一定數量的手寫課程。故選C項。

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.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D

【導語】這是一篇說明文。主要介紹最新一項針對嬰兒是否具有分享精神的研究。結果表明，人類早期的社交經歷會塑造影響他們慷慨分享的態度，并產生深遠影響。
【12題詳解】
詞句猜測題。根據第二段“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. (研究人員想知道孩子們是否會在沒有鼓勵的情況下把食物讓給陌生人，他們發現孩子們就是這樣做的——即使他們餓了)”可知，研究人員發現小嬰兒會把食物很慷慨地讓給陌生人，即便自己也很饑餓，劃線詞與“慷慨、利他”之意接近。故選A項。
【13題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第三段“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，實驗組的研究人員假裝把水果掉在盤子上，然后試圖夠到它，但沒有成功。這向孩子發出信號，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. (在對照組中，只有4%的孩子把水果給了研究人員，而在實驗組中，這一比例為58%，超過一半)”可知，在實驗組中，研究人員作勢伸手夠不到水果，向嬰兒發出需要幫助的信號，有超過一半的嬰兒能夠領會這種求助信號，而將眼前的水果交到研究人員手里。故選B項。
【14題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據第四段“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. (在對照組中,只有 4% 孩子將水果給了研究人員，而在測試組中,這一比例為58%，或超過一半)”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. (接下來，該團隊探索了孩子們在付出代價時是否仍然表現慷慨。第一組實驗在午餐時間之前對另一組孩子重復進行，當時他們可能餓了。同樣，37% 的測試組交出了他們的水果，而對照組則沒有)”可知，不饑餓狀態下，僅4% 的對照組孩子將水果給了研究人員，與之相比58%的測試組孩子會這樣做；饑餓狀態下，對照組沒有一個孩子將水果交給研究人員，與之相比仍有37%的測試組孩子會這樣做。故選A項。
【15題詳解】
細節理解題。根據最后段中的“These social experiences that shape attitudes towards sharing appear to have an effect very early in life. (這些培養分享理念的社交經歷，似乎在生命早期就產生了影響)”可知，嬰孩時期關于分享態度的社交經歷，在生命初期已經產生了影響。可知，社交經歷對嬰兒分享行為有影響。故選D項。

【解析】
【導語】本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了廣東醒獅這一國家級傳統民俗，包括其歷史起源、文化寓意、表演特點及其文化價值和傳播范圍。
【36題詳解】
考查動詞時態。句意：舞獅可以追溯到幾千年前的唐朝，還有一個關于皇帝夢見一頭獅子救了他的命的傳說。此處為謂語動詞，陳述客觀事實，應用一般現在時，主語Lion dancing是單數，所以用dates。故填dates。
【37題詳解】
考查定語從句。句意：舞獅可以追溯到幾千年前的唐朝，還有一個關于皇帝夢見一頭獅子救了他的命的傳說。此處為關系詞引導的定語從句，從句中不缺主語和賓語，先行詞a legend為抽象地點名詞，所以此處使用關系副詞where，作狀語。故填where。
【38題詳解】
考查動詞語態。句意：后來它被北方移民引入南方。此處為謂語動詞，根據語境以及時間狀語later可知，動作發生在過去，且主語it（指代舞獅）與introduce之間為被動關系，所以用一般過去時的被動語態，且主語為第三人稱單數，所以謂語動詞為was introduced。故填was introduced。
【39題詳解】
考查代詞。句意：廣東醒獅在明朝（公元1368-1644年）發展成其現代形式。此處修飾名詞form，應用形容詞性物主代詞its，意為“它的”。故填its。
【40題詳解】
考查冠詞。句意：在中國傳統中，人們視獅子為勇敢和力量的象征，它可以驅邪，保護人類和牲畜。symbol為可數名詞單數，空前無限定詞，結合句意，此處表示“一種象征”為泛指，且symbol是以輔音音素開頭的單詞，所以用不定冠詞a。故填a。
【41題詳解】
考查副詞。句意：舞獅主要側重于醒獅的表演，非常注重抓癢、搖鬃毛和舔毛等動作。此處修飾動詞focuses，應用副詞作狀語，main的副詞為mainly，意為“主要地”。故填mainly。
【42題詳解】
考查介詞。句意：舞獅主要側重于醒獅的表演，非常注重抓癢、搖鬃毛和舔毛等動作。此處為固定搭配attach attention to，意為“注重”，所以用介詞to。故填to。
【43題詳解】
考查名詞。句意：廣東醒獅是武術、舞蹈和音樂結合體，不僅在廣東和廣西兩省流行，在東南亞國家的華僑中也很受歡迎，使其成為華僑與民族根源保持聯系的文化橋梁。空前有不定冠詞a，此處應用名詞，combine的名詞為combination，意為“結合體”。故填combination。
44題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意：廣東醒獅是武術、舞蹈和音樂的結合體，不僅在廣東和廣西兩省流行，在東南亞國家的華僑中也很受歡迎，使其成為華僑與民族根源保持聯系的文化橋梁。此處為非謂語動詞作狀語，make與邏輯主語The Guangdong Lion Dance之間是主動關系，所以用現在分詞making。故填making。
【45題詳解】
考查非謂語動詞。句意：農歷新年是分享和慶祝這一文化和遺產的最佳時機。此處為非謂語動詞作后置定語，修飾名詞time，構成the perfect time to do sth.結構，意為“做某事的最佳時機”，所以此處使用動詞不定式形式。故填to share。

47. 閱讀下面材料，根據其內容和所給段落開頭語續寫兩段，使之構成一篇完整的短文。
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 (補丁) 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 (肩帶) 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 (砰地關上), just a quiet click—that somehow hurt me worse.

【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.
