More candidates, less bonus points
更多考生，更少加分
About 9.75 million candidates will sit for the exam this year, 350,000 more than last year, according to the Ministry of Education.
據(jù)教育部統(tǒng)計(jì)，今年約有975萬名考生參加考試，比去年增加35萬人。
The ministry said in March that it would eliminate some preferential provisions that award bonus points to some students' total score, as part of its effort to promote a more fair and scientific selection process.
教育部3月份表示，將取消部分高考考生加分項(xiàng)目，以促進(jìn)人才選拔程序更加公平科學(xué)。
According to the statement, no bonus points will be awarded for exceptional sports ability, winning academic Olympiads or science and technology competitions, being named "provincial-level excellent students" or honored for "righteous and courageous deeds".
根據(jù)該聲明，體育特長(zhǎng)生、中學(xué)學(xué)科奧林匹克競(jìng)賽或科技類競(jìng)賽、省級(jí)優(yōu)秀學(xué)生、見義勇為事跡等高考加分項(xiàng)目將被取消。
Previously, students with top performance in athletics or science were awarded up to 20 points on their total score, although some provinces had already canceled such provisions under a notice issued by the ministry four years ago.
此前，在體育或科學(xué)方面表現(xiàn)優(yōu)異的學(xué)生最多可獲得20分高考加分。但根據(jù)教育部四年前發(fā)布的一項(xiàng)通知，一些省份已經(jīng)取消此類政策。

Reforms of the enrollment process
招生制度改革
Enrollment process will be streamlined in many places this year. Key universities and others will be combined into the same round of enrollment to provide more choices for different students. Tianjin, Guangdong and Liaoning will adopt the reforms this year, after the practice was put into place in Shanghai, Zhejiang, Shandong and Hainan.
今年，多地招生程序?qū)?huì)簡(jiǎn)化。重點(diǎn)大學(xué)和其他院校將合并錄取批次，為不同學(xué)生提供更多的選擇。在上海、浙江、山東、海南開啟錄取批次改革后，今年天津、廣東和遼寧也將實(shí)施這項(xiàng)改革。

Ban on publicity of top scorers
嚴(yán)禁炒作“狀元”
In recent years, over-emphasis or even hype of the top scorers and highest enrollment rate received negative reviews. This year, the ministry stressed its firm stance of banning the practice before the exam.
近年來，過分強(qiáng)調(diào)甚至炒作高考“狀元”和最高錄取率引發(fā)負(fù)面評(píng)論。今年，教育部在考試前強(qiáng)調(diào)了禁止炒作“狀元”的堅(jiān)定立場(chǎng)。
According to a notice published on its official website, violators would be punished severely.
