On June 4, 2025, Wei Dongyi, a well-known mathematics professor at Peking University, launched his official social media account. Verified (证实) by the platform and supported by his family, the account shares mathematical knowledge, interacts with the public, and corrects false information.
Wei is renowned for his exceptional mathematical abilities. As a high school student, he won two gold medals with full marks at the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) in 2008 and 2009, setting a Chinese record in the process. His unique “Wei Method” surprised his peers and experts alike. At the age of 28, he became a professor at Peking University, specializing in complex mathematical problems. His research has achieved significant breakthroughs, with publications in top-tier (顶尖的) academic journals.
The new account posts math content suitable for all levels. His first video, in which he simply says, “Hello, I’m Wei Dongyi”, attracted over 10 million followers within three days (by June 7). Gaokao students flooded the comments section with exam-related wishes, turning it into a virtual “wishing pool”.
Wei’s family emphasizes that the account is intended for sharing knowledge, not for making a profit. Despite his fame, he leads a modest lifestyle, often seen carrying steamed buns (馒头) and water, and remains focused on teaching.
Through this initiative, Wei hopes to foster a love of math among young people. By sharing his expertise, he aims to inspire a deeper interest in the subject.

Scientists have learned more about the inner workings of the Earth, The results suggest that the Earth’s inner core may be starting to spin more slowly than the Earth.
The Earth is made up of several layers. The thin, outer layer is called the crust. Below the crust is the mantle, which makes up about 84% of the Earth’s core. The Earth’s core has two parts: the outer Earth. Below the mantle is the core and the inner core, Both of these are made mainly of the metals iron and nickel, The outer core is liquid. But the inner core is a solid ball held in the liquid almost like the yolk in an egg.
Scientists suspected for a long time that the inner core might be spinning slightly differently from the way the Earth spins. In the 1990s, two scientists, Paul Richards and Xiaodong Song, studied the inner core by looking at “seismic waves” — shaking from earthquakes — that travel through the center of the Earth. They focused on groups and pairs of waves from earthquakes that naturally repeat.
If the inner core was spinning exactly with the Earth, each wave of the pair should have taken the same time to pass through the Earth. Instead, some moved faster than others. This was because they were hitting different parts of the inner core as it spun. Their studies revealed that the inner core was spinning in the same direction as the Earth, but slightly faster.
Now Dr Song and Yi Yang say that before 2009, the wave pairs showed that the inner core was spinning faster than the Earth. Around 2009, that seemed to change. The timing of the wave pairs was no longer different. The researchers believe that the inner core had started spinning at the same speed as the Earth.
The researchers noticed that the inner core’s spin also seemed to change speed in the early 1970s. The inner core may have a pattern of speeding up and slowing down every 70 years or so.
Not everyone agrees. Many scientists who study the Earth say more information is needed to figure out what is really going on.
8. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2
A. Illustrate a concept B. Provide relevant information
C. Give some examples D. Introduce the research ways
9. To study the inner core, scientists analyzed mainly ______.
A. how earthquake waves go through the Earth’s center
B. in which direction the inner core spins
C. how many waves come from an earthquake
D. why waves from earthquakes repeat naturally
10. What do many scientists think of the study result
A. It is absolutely convincing B. It is somewhat reasonable
C. It remains to be tested out D. It has been fully proved
11 What is the best title for the text
A. Is there another inner core in the Earth B. Will the Earth speed up in the future
C. Do earthquakes affect the Earth’s spin D. Is the Earth’s inner core spinning more slowly
D
A badly burnt scroll from the Roman town of Herculaneum has been digitally “unwrapped”, providing the first look inside for 2,000 years. The document was badly burnt by a volcanic eruption in 79 AD and is too fragile (脆弱的) to ever be physically opened. But now scientists have used a combination of X-ray imaging and artificial (人工的) intelligence (AI) to virtually open it, revealing rows and columns of text.
More work is needed to make the scroll readable to analyze its contents, but the team behind the project says the results are very promising. “We’re confident we will be able to read pretty much the whole scroll in its entirety, and it’s the first time we’ve really been able to say that with high confidence,” said Stephen Parsons, project lead for the Vesuvius Challenge, an international competition attempting to unlock the Herculaneum scrolls.
The University of Oxford’s Bodleian Library holds several of the scrolls. Thought to be unreadable, they had been left untouched for decades. But the promise of a hi-tech solution made the team get one of the precious scrolls out of storage. It was placed in a specially made case and taken to Diamond Light Source in Oxfordshire. Inside a huge machine, the scroll can be X-rayed safely to create a 3-D reconstruction. Then the layers inside the scroll have to be identified. After that AI is used to hunt for the tiniest traces of ink (墨迹), then this ink is painted on digitally, bringing the letters to light.
Last year, a Vesuvius Challenge team managed to read about 5% of another Herculaneum scroll. It is calling for more human and computing intelligence to participate in the work. For Nicole Gilroy, head of book conservation, the work is providing a link to the past. “I just love that connection with whoever collected them, whoever wrote them, whoever rolled those scrolls up and put them on the shelves. There’s a real human aspect to it that I just think is really precious,” she said.
12. What are scientists trying to do with the scroll
A. Open it physically B. Repair it with AI technology
C. Preserve it in a new way D. Make it virtually readable
13. What is Parsons’s attitude toward the project
A. Positive B. Doubtful C. Confused D. Carefree
14. What aspect of the scroll is Para.3 mainly about
A. The challenge of reading it B. The importance of preserving it
C. The reason for taking it out D. The digital unrolling process
15. What is the significance of reading the scroll according to Nicole Gilroy
A. It helps connect people to the past B. It shows the power of technology
C. It fuels people’s interest in history D. It highlights scholar’s contributions

Cory had a quarrel with his mother for his study and left home in the morning. He had been wandering on the streets for almost a whole day, feeling so depressed and hopeless.
It was freezing cold at dusk on such a winter day. And the sky was dark. He was walking down an empty street where there were no passers-by, because people must have been at home for warmth. Cory was walking to a crossroad when suddenly he came across a little boy stuck in the middle of the road alone like him.
Cory had meant to turn a blind eye to him at first. But the boy’s situation worried him. He approached the boy, asking, “Hey! Why are you alone here Where is your mother ” “I want to find my mama and papa. Please take me home,” the boy replied, bursting into tears. Cory led him away from the crossroad. Then, he asked worriedly, “How did you come here What’s your name ”
“I’m Simon. I was playing with my dog. The dog ran away, and I ran after him for a long distance. But when I wanted to go back home, I lost my way,” cried the boy. Feeling pity for the boy, Cory made up his mind to help the boy. He couldn’t have the little boy staying here alone.
Attempting to look for his home, Cory took the little boy to different neighborhoods. But things didn’t go that smoothly as he had expected. It was getting darker and darker, and Cory thought he had to help Simon find his home. He knocked on every door, but without luck. Worn out and starving, he realized Simon must be very hungry. He offered him the chocolate he had bought with his rest money. It began to snow and he removed his coat and put it around Simon. Luckily, there was still a bakery store with the door open. He borrowed a phone to call the police station.
