五、阅读理解
Have you ever seen a young genius（天才）who wrote down her MIT dream at the age of 14 and solved world-famous Maths problems with AI at 24? Wondering what makes her journey so amazing?
Hong Letong, the post-00s from Guangzhou, has been in love with Maths since she was a kid. She joined an Olympic Maths training group in junior high. When she was only 14, she wrote “MIT” on her notebook—this brave dream kept pushing her forward. “In the world of learning Maths, I feel like I'm travelling around the world,” she once said.
During high school, she was one of the just four girls on Guangzhou's top Maths team, and her great ability helped her win the Hua Luogeng Cup. At 18, she entered MIT and broke records—finishing two degrees in three years with perfect scores. She even got top prizes like the Morgan Prize, showing that her idea is true: “You have to push yourself hard to stand out.”
In 2022, she studied Neuroscience（神经科学）at Oxford with the famous Rhodes Scholarship（奖学金）. Later, she began studying for two PhD programmes at Stanford. But she bravely quit both to start her company Axiom Maths in 2024, aiming to build an AI model that doesn't just “guess” Maths answers, but gives solutions that can be checked as true. “Maths is the best way to test smart AI,” she told a news group, explaining her big plan.
In just four amazing months, her team's AI model solved two Erdos problems—super tough Maths questions that troubled experts（专家）for 30 and 45 years!
Hong's story is full of good ideas. “Loving Maths is like seeing something wonderful,” she writes on her social media. Your age, your birthplace, or how things usually are—none of these can stop you if you love what you do. And this young girl is a good example of that!

解析
【分析】
本题为英语阅读理解综合题，需针对不同题型逐一分析：第1题是细节理解题，需定位“Won the Hua Luogeng Cup”对应的时间；第2题是词义猜测题，结合上下文推断“quit”的含义；第3题是推理判断题，需结合划线句及全文内容推断其含义；第4题是主旨大意题，需把握全文核心思想。
【解析】
1. 第1题：定位原文第三段第一句“During high school, she was one of the just four girls on Guangzhou's top Maths team, and her great ability helped her win the Hua Luogeng Cup.”，可知获奖时间为高中时期；时间线中②的位置对应“In high school”，位于At the age of14之后、At the age of18之前，因此选B。
2. 第2题：根据划线词所在句“Later, she began studying for two PhD programmes at Stanford. But she bravely quit both to start her company Axiom Maths in 2024”，可知她原本攻读博士，后来创业，因此“quit”意为“放弃”，对应选项C（Gave up）。
3. 第3题：划线句“Loving Maths is like seeing something wonderful”意为“热爱数学就像看到美好的事物”，结合全文她对数学的热爱及成就，可推断出数学对爱好者来说是美好且愉悦的，对应选项B。
4. 第4题：全文讲述Hong Letong因热爱数学，在数学领域取得诸多成就，体现了兴趣的重要性，对应选项A（Interest is the best teacher）。
