　　China's education system has often been criticized for its exam-driven curriculum, focusing on memorizing textbooks and getting good test scores. Students feel too much examination stressduring their study.

　　The national college entrance examination, known as gaokao, is seen as the only way for millions to a promising career beyond vocational training. Entrance into higher education institutions is heavily reliant on gaokao.

　　The Ministry of Education started to reform the exam system this year by introducing a more comprehensive evaluation system and providing more choices for students.

　　除了職業(yè)培訓(xùn)之外，普通高等學(xué)校招生全國(guó)統(tǒng)一考試(即高考)被數(shù)百萬(wàn)人視為獲得一份有前途的職業(yè)的唯一途徑。進(jìn)入高等教育機(jī)構(gòu)過(guò)于依賴高考。

　　【講解】

　　文中的examination stress就是“考試壓力”的意思，其中stress用作名詞，解釋為“壓力”，常見(jiàn)的詞匯搭配有：under stress(在壓力下)、in times of stress(在困難時(shí)期)等。它還可以用作動(dòng)詞，解釋為“強(qiáng)調(diào)”，如：In his speech, he stresses honesty as an important virtue.(他在演講中強(qiáng)調(diào)誠(chéng)實(shí)是一種很重要的美德。)

　　此外，文中的evaluation用作名詞，解釋為“評(píng)估;評(píng)價(jià)”，例如：job evaluation(工作評(píng)價(jià))、performance evaluation(績(jī)效評(píng)估)。
