The United States will introduce a new exam system for students who want to study in the USA and other English-speaking countries, Xinhua News Agency reported from New York.

The exam, which means a great change from the current English level test, was introduced by Theresa Jen, associate director of the International Service of the USA College Board, America's leading educational organization.

"The Advanced Placement International English Language (APIEL) will be offered for the first time all over the world on May 10, 2012," said Jen.

However, the APIEL is a strange title to most Chinese students, and it is unlikely to soon gain the similarity(相似點) of other already existing exams, such as the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), the GRE (Graduate Record Examination), or the IELTS (International English Language Testing System).

"I have never heard of such a test and I would prefer the IELTS if I need another exam," said Xu Jingyan, a graduating student from Beijing University, who wants to study in England and has already taken the TOEFL.

Most of Xu's classmates have never heard of the APIEL. "The APIEL is made for international students who wish to get university studies in English-speaking countries, including the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia. " Jen said.

"The APIEL will be used," said Jen, "because the TOEFL can no longer perfectly show the students' abilities of using English. " Xinhua reported that a large number of foreign students who had high scores in TOEFL exam turned out to be very ordinary educational performers after being admitted.

"Compared with the TOEFL, the APIEL measures a student's ability to read, write, speak and understand 'English through testing his or her skills in listening comprehension, speaking with fluency, and writing in an organized way. " Jen said.

1.The underlined word "current" in the second paragraph means .

A. highB. presentC. lowD. formal

2.We can learn from the passage that .

A. the TOEFL is more popular with the Chinese than the IELTS

B. it will take quite a period of time for people to accept the APIEL

C. Chinese students will prefer the IELTS rather than the APIEL even in the future

D. a student will have to take the APIEL if he/ she wants to study in English-speaking countries from 2012

3. The APIEL is designed for students who want to study in English-speaking countries, such as .

A. the United States and CanadaB. Canada and Ireland

C. Australia and IndiaD. Britain and France

4. According to the passage, the United States will introduce a new exam because .

A. it will bring the US government quite a lot of money

B. more and more students want to get further education in the USA

C. the existing exam systems can no longer perfectly show the students' abilities

D. the Chinese pay special attention to English studies with China's entry into the WTO

5.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A. A New Exam Designed for Students

B. The Four Skills in Learning English

C. The Key to English-speaking Countries

D. TOEFL, IELTS and GRE to Be out of Date
