A US university will begin accepting the Chinese university entrance exam known as the Gaokao in an effort to attract more Chinese students.

­　　為吸引更多中國學(xué)生，美國新罕布爾大學(xué)將接受以中國高考成績申請入學(xué)。

­　　The University of New Hampshire will be the first state university in the US to accept the standardised placement test.

­　　這所大學(xué)將成為美國首個接受中國高考成績申請的州立大學(xué)。

­　　China is the largest exporter of students to the US, with 377,000 currently enrolled in US universities, according to government data.

­　　美國聯(lián)邦政府數(shù)據(jù)顯示，中國是美國最大的留學(xué)生來源國，目前約有37.7萬中國留學(xué)生在美就讀。

­　　The University of New Hampshire had 781 international undergraduate and graduate students on campus last fall, according to the?Union Leader?newspaper - double the figure from five years previous. About half of those foreign students - 357 - came from China.

­　　新罕布什爾當?shù)孛襟w《工會領(lǐng)袖報》報道稱，去年秋季，新罕布什爾大學(xué)的在校海外本科生及研究生達到781人，比5年前翻了一倍，其中357人是中國學(xué)生，占到近一半。

­　　As part of the new initiative, the university has launched a recruiting website in Chinese and English.

­　　為宣傳新的錄取方式，這所大學(xué)已經(jīng)上線了一個中英雙語招生網(wǎng)站。

­　　"This initiative is part of UNH"s commitment to attracting more and stronger applicants from around the world," said university spokeswoman Erika Mantz.

­　　新罕布什爾大學(xué)發(fā)言人埃里卡-曼茨說：“這一項目旨在為學(xué)校吸引更多來自全球的優(yōu)秀生源，學(xué)校一直致力于此。”

­　　"This new programme will in no way limit access for New Hampshire students," she added.

­　　她補充說：“這一新的招生項目將不會減少當?shù)貙W(xué)生的入學(xué)人數(shù)。”

­　　In addition to submitting their Gaokao results, students must also take an English test, participate in a video interview and send their high school transcripts before moving forward with the application process.

­　　在申請前，除了提交高考成績，申請者依然需要參加一項英語測試、一次視頻面試，并提供他們在高中時候的成績單。

­　　Ms Mantz added that the process was still being finalised, but that Chinese students may still need to take the American SAT or ACT exam.

­　　曼茨補充說，最終的錄取標準仍未敲定，但中國的學(xué)生可能還得參加美國學(xué)業(yè)能力傾向測驗（SAT）或美國大學(xué)入學(xué)考試（ACT）。

­　　Students who are accepted will be able to begin classes in Durham this January, allowing them to start a semester early.

­　　被錄取的學(xué)生明年1月在達勒姆開學(xué)，比之前提早一個學(xué)期。

­　　Previously, students from China would have had to wait for a new application period to begin in the autumn, putting them behind the rest of the first-year class.

­　　此前，中國學(xué)生要等到秋季的新申請期，這使他們開學(xué)時間比其他一年級學(xué)生晚。

­　　A similar programme at the University of San Francisco, a Jesuit college, allows Chinese students to bypass US standardised tests altogether and instead submit just their Gaokao score, grades, and English language interview.

­　　美國舊金山大學(xué)耶穌會學(xué)院也有一個類似的項目，中國學(xué)生甚至不需要參加美國的標準化考試，只需提供高考成績、高中成績單并通過英語面試即可申請。

­　　International enrolment - in which students are required to pay full priced tuition - helps universities bolster revenue.

­　　海外招生項目通常需要繳納全額學(xué)費，這是美國大學(xué)的重要資金來源。

­　　The University of New Hampshire charges $45,000 per academic year for tuition and housing costs.

­　　新罕布什爾大學(xué)每學(xué)年的學(xué)費和住宿費是4.5萬美元（約合28.8萬元人民幣）。

­　　Dozens of universities in Europe, Australia, and Canada already accept Gaokao results on applications.

­　　歐洲、澳大利亞和加拿大的幾十所大學(xué)已經(jīng)接受學(xué)生用高考成績申請入學(xué)。
