When Wang Hong stepped onto the podium (领奖台) at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Philadelphia on July 23, 2026, the world took notice. At 35, she had just become the third woman in history—and the first Chinese citizen—to receive the Fields Medal, often regarded as the "Nobel Prize" of mathematics.
Wang was born in 1991 in a rural village in Guilin, Guangxi. Her parents were both secondary school teachers, and her father taught mathematics. At age five, she had already taught herself the first-grade curriculum (课程) and skipped directly to second grade. She later skipped sixth grade as well and entered Peking University at just 16.
However, her path to mathematics was not straightforward. That year, Peking University's mathematics department accepted only one student from Guangxi, and Wang's score fell short. She was admitted to the School of Earth and Space Sciences instead. But Wang never gave up her dream. From her very first day at university, she started preparing to transfer to the mathematics department. She spent her freshman year auditing advanced algebra (代数), geometry (几何) and analysis, and successfully made the transfer.
After completing her undergraduate studies at Peking University in 2011, Wang continued her education in France, earning a master's degree from Paris-Sud University. She then went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States, where she received her PhD in 2019. Today, she is a permanent professor at the Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques (IHES) in France and also a professor at New York University.
Wang is known for her research in Fourier analysis (傅里叶分析) and geometric measure theory (几何测度论). Her most famous achievement came in February 2025, when she and her collaborator (合作者) Joshua Zahl published a 127-page proof of the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture (挂谷猜想)—a geometric problem that had puzzled mathematicians for over a century. The proof earned her the 2026 Fields Medal.
Beyond mathematics, Wang enjoys drawing and often sketches while thinking through a problem, saying the drawings help her visualize its structure. She also loves anime, table tennis and fencing. When asked about her award, she offered no grand pronouncements: "I'm honored," she said. "I hope everyone will have the courage to do what they love."
(1)、What can we learn about Wang Hong's early life from the passage?A、She was born into a family of mathematicians. B、She skipped two grades before entering university. C、She was admitted to Peking University as a math major. D、She showed little interest in mathematics as a child.(2)、Why was Wang Hong initially unable to study mathematics at Peking University?A、She did not perform well in the college entrance exam. B、The mathematics department only took one student from her region. C、She chose to study earth and space sciences instead. D、Her parents advised her to study a different subject.(3)、What does the underlined word "auditing" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A、Teaching a course to other students. B、Passing an exam with a high score. C、Attending a class without receiving a grade. D、Giving up a subject she was not interested in.(4)、What can be inferred from the passage about the three-dimensional Kakeya conjecture?A、It was first raised by Wang Hong and her collaborator. B、It is a problem in the field of earth and space sciences. C、It remained unsolved for more than 100 years before Wang's proof. D、It was the only reason Wang Hong received the Fields Medal.(5)、What is the main purpose of this passage?A、To explain the Kakeya conjecture in detail. B、To introduce the life and achievements of Wang Hong. C、To compare mathematics education in China and France. D、To encourage young people to study earth sciences. -

Shenzhen is getting ready to host a major APEC meeting in November 2026, and the city is not only building more modern landmarks but also teaching its robots good manners. At a high-tech show in Qianhai earlier this month, a humanoid (人形的) robot named "Shen Suan" became an overnight star. Dressed in a smart blue suit, the robot greeted visitors with a traditional Chinese baoquan salute (抱拳礼)—a gesture where the right fist is covered by the left hand in front of the chest—instead of a Western handshake.
The baoquan gesture has a history of over 3,000 years in China. In ancient times, it was used by people to show respect without physical contact. Today, the gesture is becoming popular again in international events. "We want the robot to show both Chinese tradition and modern technology," said Dr. Li, the lead engineer. "When foreign guests see the baoquan, they don't just see a machine; they see a piece of Chinese culture."
However, teaching a robot to "read" human body language is not easy. The team had to program Shen Suan to understand different cultural signals. For example, in some Western countries, direct eye contact shows confidence, but in certain Asian cultures, too much eye contact can be seen as rude. The robot was trained to keep a soft, polite gaze when talking to guests from different backgrounds.
The project is part of Shenzhen's plan to become a global smart city. By the time the APEC meeting opens, hundreds of such robots will be placed in airports, hotels, and conference centers. They will help with directions, translate languages, and even perform a short baoquan dance for VIP guests.
Some experts, however, remain cautious. Professor Wang from Shenzhen University said that while robots can copy gestures, they may never truly "understand" the feelings behind human body language. "Culture is not just about movements," he said. "It's about meaning, history, and heart."
Still, for most visitors, Shen Suan and its friends will offer a warm, high-tech welcome—one baoquan at a time.
(1)、What can we infer from the robot's use of the baoquan salute?A、Shenzhen is mixing tradition with technology through robot design. B、The robot's blue suit was made to match the baoquan gesture. C、Most visitors preferred the baoquan to a Western handshake. D、The gesture was used in ancient times to avoid physical contact.(2)、How was the robot trained for cross-cultural communication?A、By learning different foreign languages. B、By understanding cultural body-language signals. C、By copying human dancers' movements. D、By searching the Internet for answers.(3)、The underlined word "gaze" in Paragraph 3 probably means "____".A、a soft and steady look B、a sudden and surprising movement C、a polite and friendly touch D、a clear and loud introduction(4)、What does Professor Wang think of robots using human body language?A、They may become more popular than human guides at international meetings. B、They help spread Chinese culture in a creative and modern way. C、They may fail to truly understand the meaning behind human culture. D、They are not as useful as expected in international communication.(5)、What is the best title for the passage?A、How Robots Are Changing the Future of APEC Meetings B、The Problems Caused by Misunderstanding Body Language C、Shenzhen's Robots Learn the Baoquan for APEC 2026 D、Why Traditional Chinese Culture Is Difficult to Spread -

At home at Down House, a place that you can still visit today, Darwin wrote many articles and books about his travels. But he didn't want to make anything about his theory known to the public because he was afraid the public would not agree with his idea. He was so worried that he became ill. However, when someone else started to write about similar ideas, Darwin decided to print his book, On the Origin of Species.

9、 请阅读全文,并从下列的六个句子中选择五个还原到原文中,使原文的意思完整、连贯。
Have you ever counted the number of digits (数字) in your mobile phone number? Your number has eleven digits. That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world. Why is that?
The eleven digits can be divided into three parts. The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for China Mobile Communication Corporation and 188 is for China Mobile. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you which areas the number is recorded in. And the last four digits are random (随机的).
The main reason for using 11-digits is that we have the largest population in the world. We once had ten digits. So we began to use eleven digits starting from 1999.
Eleven digits can be used to make tens of millions of mobile phone numbers. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China. Usually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11-digit mobile phone numbers. So they cannot create as many numbers as we can. Countries like the United States, Australia and India use mobile phone numbers with ten digits. Canadian mobile phone numbers are perhaps the world's shortest: they use seven digits.
A. Each part has a different meaning.
B. But their numbers always start with 0.
C. Also, mobile phone numbers can be recycled.
D. The phone number ending with an eight is the most popular.
E. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number.
F. But as our population grows, there are not enough numbers for us to use.

Look! Up in the sky! Not a bird or a plane, it's an eVTOL! It's also known as an air taxi. It started its first journey from Shenzhen to Zhuhai, completing the 55-kilometer trip in about 20 minutes. This marks an important development of this exciting new form of transport.
Air taxis use high technology to take off and land like a helicopter (直升机). So they don't need long runways. Instead of using traditional engines, air taxis use electric motors (电动机).
Air taxis can fly without a pilot. These air taxis have several propellers to help them stay safe in the sky. They also use large batteries to let them fly far and fast.
Air taxis can make people's travelling faster and safer. They can help improve traffic jams, with their direct point-to-point travel. They can save time for people. The cost of taking an air taxi may be more expensive than ground transport, but the travel can be up to five times faster. With the help of the computers, the air taxis can fly safely in the sky. That is to say, the computers can plan the flight of every air taxi in advance (提前), so that they won't have any accidents in the sky.
The air taxi is also a better choice for cities. As an eco-friendly choice, it produces fewer emissions (排放) than traditional cars, improving air quality.
The air taxi has already been used in the Paris Olympics. Some people think this is a transport that will become widely used. Many companies and researchers are developing this transport and they believe air taxis will have a huge market in the coming years.
(1)、Where did the air taxi start its first journey?A、In Shenzhen. B、In Zhuhai. C、In Guangzhou. D、In Beijing.(2)、Which of the following helps air taxis fly far and fast?A、Long runways.

The Double Ninth Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. It's also called the Chongyang Festival. In Chinese culture, nine is regarded as the number of yang. The 9th day of the 9th lunar month is the day that has two yang numbers, and chong in Chinese means double, which is how the name Chongyang was created.
Climbing mountains and admiring beautiful chrysanthemums (菊花) are interesting activities to celebrate the Chongyang Festival. It is said that by climbing a high mountain, diseases could be prevented. As chrysanthemums blossom during the festival, chrysanthemum shows are held in big parks that draw visitors.
During the festival, eating Chongyang cake and drinking chrysanthemum wine are traditional customs. Chongyang cake is a kind of cake having two layers with nuts(坚果) between them. Since cake in Chinese is pronounced gao, meaning high, people consider climbing a high mountain to be the same as eating cake. Also personal progress is thought to be made in the following days after eating the cake, for "high" means that one makes improvements moving to a higher level.
Drinking chrysanthemum wine is an important part of the festival. Chrysanthemums are regarded as a kind of flower that can drive the evil (邪恶) away. People often think that by drinking chrysanthemum wine, all kinds of diseases and disasters can be prevented.
As nine is pronounced jiu meaning "long" in Chinese, people endow (赋予) the word jiu with the meaning of longevity (长寿). In the year of 1989, the Double Ninth Festival was named as Seniors' Day—a day to let the elderly enjoy themselves.
