Schools and educational authorities across the country are making final preparations to ensure that the upcoming national college entrance exam go smoothly and in a fair way, an official with the Ministry of Education said Wednesday.

The ministry joined hands with local authorities of education, public security and telecommunications to ensure the order of the exam and guard against cheating, said Liu Junyi, vice director of the exam center under the ministry, at a press conference Wednesday.

"People who set exam papers have been completely cut connections with the outside world, and papers were stored in special rooms under multiple electronic monitoring," Liu said.

The widely-concerned exam, which is held annually on June 7 and 8, has seen an increase in cheating cases with high-tech devices in recent years. Educational authorities have to come up with stricter rules and high-tech countermeasures for the fairness of the exam.

?????? 往年，在高考期間，一些地方會出臺臨時性的政令，比如限制工地夜間施工、禁止汽車鳴笛等。這些行政命令雖然擾亂了正常的生活與生產建設，但人們大多抱著理解的態度予以支持。今年，一些地方為高考保駕護航的行為再度升級，有些地方甚至要求強制關閉網吧（Internet cafe/Internet bar），這在社會上引起了一番熱議。請看報道：

The government of Linchuan district in Fuzhou, Jiangxi province, has temporarily closed down all Internet cafes in its jurisdiction in a bid to prevent students from getting distracted ahead of the college entrance examination.

The move implements a document issued by the district's cultural affairs bureau last year, which stipulates that the business of Internet bars should be suspended during the college entrance exam, which takes place on June 7 and 8 every year, the Jiangxi-based New Legal News reported.

Some local Internet cafe owners have been asked to shut down for nearly a month, the report said.
