The English test will be removed from China’ s college entrance exam
by 2020,according to details of exam and admission reform revealed by the
Ministry of Education.The national college entrance exam,known as the
“Gaokao” has been used to evaluate Chinese students for three
Ministry of Education has worked out a plan for reforming exams and Ministry will solicit(征求 )public opinions before its release.Instead,tests will be held several times a year to allow students
to choose when and how often they sit the exam so as to alleviate study
pressure and change China ’s once-in-a-lifetime exam system.
The plan and suggestions for its implementation will be announced in
the first half of next year.It will be piloted in selected provinces and
cities and promoted nationwide from 2020.A new examand admission system will be established by 2020,according to the education ministry.
The decision has aroused a heated discussion among Shanghai educators
and parents who doubted the reform would reduce the burden of learning English or if the substitute test could reflect a student’s English skills and help students learn English better.
“The reform shows China is learning from the West to give students
more test-taking more chances might becomemore of a burden since Chinese students are likely to repeat the test until they get the highest
score, ” said Cai Jigang,a professor at Fudan University’s College of Foreign Languages and Literature and chairman of the Shanghai Advisory Committee for College English Teaching at Tertiary Level.
Yu Lizhong,chancellor of New York University Shanghai,where classes
are in English and students are required to have a high standard of English,said the most important aspect of the reform lay in what to test and how to test.
“As far as I see,the reform doesn’t meanEnglish is no longer important for Chinese students after it will be excluded from the unified college
entrance exam,” Yu said. “ In a way,English is even more important than before
since the test would only serve as reference,while every college and university,even every major,can have different requirements of a student’s English skills under a diverse evaluation system.”
Yu said some students will have their study pressure reduced if the
major they choose doesn’t need excellent English while others still need
to study hard if they want to be among the best students.
The education ministry said the reform would not affect students attending the college entrance exam over the next three years.

B.It has been 30 years since English became one subject of
national college entrance exam.
C.China ’ s once-in-a-lifetime exam system is unacceptable at all.

A.the new exam and admission system will make no difference

not apply to China

school.

I was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized.

labeled( 贴标签 ) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time,Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I
would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.

The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for
a single minute without a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When
she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, weeping. Obviously,
that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm
feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart, Slowly, I collected the pencils,
took back the books, mademy bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor,even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t noticed Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief.
Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes.

Social media is one of the fastest-growing industries in today ’s world . Your friends ’ lives may look more exciting than yours on Facebook, Twitter,
and Instagram, but new research shows it is because they are faking (假造)
it.

images to their personal information to make their lives seem more adventurous.
And more than three quarters of those asked said they judged their peers based

places purely to show off, causing jealousy among friends and family.

“With images being shared in an instant, we desire to know what our
friends are wearing, or what super stars are buying, as soon as they have
got them. ” Such is the influence of social media sites like Instagram,76 percent of those asked also said seeing items on social media influences them to buy them, with men more likely to take style advice and buy what they see.
