对于中国 高考 ，外媒是这样评论的：

　　The annual National College Entrance Exams -- or gaokao -- are the only way to get into college. Failure means no degree, poorer job prospects and possibly a life of regret.

　　在中国，高考是进入大学的唯一途径。高考失败意味着没有高等学位和迷茫的就业前景，甚至这一生都可能活在遗憾之中。

　　The stakes are so high some students have stooped to ingenious methods of cheating -- so much so that authorities have started using drones as hall monitors.

　　这赌注似乎有些太过沉重，有些学生便铤而走险，想出各种方法试图在高考中作弊，以至于政府不得不用无人机在考场充当监视器。

　　One look at the questions is enough to send a shiver down the spine of even the most diligent student.

　　即使是最勤奋的学生，在拿到考卷第一眼看题时也会不由自主后脊发凉。
