Fields Medalists Deng Yu & Wang Hong, 2026
In 2026, the prestigious Fields Medal — often called the "Nobel Prize of Mathematics" — was awarded to two outstanding young Chinese mathematicians: Deng Yu and Wang Hong. Their breakthroughs have drawn worldwide attention. 36
Wang Hong, a specialist in harmonic analysis and partial differential equations, solved a long-standing problem related to the restriction conjecture. 37 Her work provides powerful new tools for understanding how waves and signals behave in higher dimensions, with potential applications in imaging and data science.
Deng Yu's research focuses on number theory and arithmetic geometry. 38 He introduced a novel approach combining deep algebraic structures with computational methods, opening a new path toward some famous unsolved conjectures.
39 Both grew up in China and were fascinated by mathematics from an early age. Wang often recalls solving Olympiad problems late at night; Deng credits his middle-school teacher for sparking his curiosity about prime numbers. Their stories show that passion, persistence, and solid training matter as much as talent.
Despite the honor, neither intends to slow down. 40 They also emphasize the importance of mentoring young students, hoping more teenagers will fall in love with the beauty of mathematics.
In a field long dominated by a handful of countries, their success sends an inspiring message: mathematical brilliance can emerge anywhere with dedication.
选项：
A. Their paths to mathematics, however, share striking similarities.
B. The medal is awarded every four years to mathematicians under 40.
C. This conjecture, first proposed decades ago, had resisted all previous attempts.
D. Both say they will keep exploring open problems and collaborate across borders.
E. Mathematics, unlike lab sciences, requires little more than paper and a sharp mind.
F. His results bridge ancient questions about integers with modern geometric techniques.
G. The award recognizes not just individual achievement but the rising strength of a nation's math community.

答案与解析：
36 G：首段介绍两人获奖，引出“他们的突破引起全球关注”。G“该奖项不仅认可个人成就，也标志着一国数学社群的崛起”承接获奖意义，并自然过渡到下文对两人的分别介绍，主题升华合理。
37 C：前句说王虹解决了 restriction conjecture（限制猜想）相关的长期难题。C“这个几十年前提出的猜想此前挫败了所有尝试”正好解释“long-standing problem”，代词 This conjecture 精准指代。
38 F：本段讲邓昱研究数论与算术几何。F“他的成果将关于整数的古老问题与现代几何技术相连”中 His 对应 Deng Yu，integers/geometric 呼应 number theory & arithmetic geometry。
39 A：后文“Both grew up in China...from an early age”讲两人成长经历的共性。A“然而他们走向数学的道路有着惊人相似之处”是完美主题句，Both 与 share similarities 呼应。
40 D：前句“neither intends to slow down（都不会放慢脚步）”，D“两人都说会继续探索开放问题并跨国合作”顺承“不停步”，且后文“They also emphasize...”中 also 与 D 中“继续探索+合作”并列，逻辑连贯。
