　　【講解】

　　文中的the national college entrance exams即指高考，簡稱NCEE，也可以說成the national entrance exam for universities and colleges，或直接說成gaokao。與“高考”相關(guān)的詞匯還有：準考證號 (exam registration numbers)，自主招生(independent recruitment)，錄取分數(shù)線 (enrollment mark)等。

　　第一段中的venue是名詞，多指事件或活動的“舉辦地點，場地”，如：In summer this hotel is a hugely popular venue for wedding receptions. (夏天時這家飯店是個非常受歡迎的婚宴舉辦地。)
