托福世界百强大学的共同选择

　　全球领先的职业与教育网络机构QS (Quacquarelli Symonds)最近在其网站上公布了世界百强大学名单(www.topuniversities.com)。所有这些顶尖学府以及全球范围内的数千所高等院校都认可美国教育考试服务中心(ETS)开发的托福考试(TOEFL®）。因此许多有志于申请这些高等学府的学子都踊跃报考托福考试，为申请成功打下良好的基础。

　　这些顶尖学府以托福考试为依据，判断母语非英语的学生是否具备完成学业所需的的英语能力。其中包括我们耳熟能详的名校，如哈佛大学、牛津大学、剑桥大学、斯坦福大学、耶鲁大学、普林斯顿大学、杜克大学、帝国理工学院和香港大学等。

　　ETS国际部高级副总裁保罗•拉姆齐(Paul A. Ramsey)先生表示：“除美国所有高等院校共4300余所均认可托福成绩以外，英国、法国、德国、澳大利亚、日本、韩国和中国的众多大学也均以托福成绩作为招生的重要依据。托福考试推出以来的40年间，从起初的默默无闻发展到目前被110个国家的逾6000所高等院校认可，并成为全球英语语言测试的标准。”

　　ETS全球客户关系总监Eileen Tyson女士指出：“托福考试在全球各地大学的影响力在继续扩大。过去两年中，认可托福考试的高校又增加了850余所。这些高校信任托福成绩，感谢托福考试给学校带来优质生源并在一定程度上提高了学校在申请者中的知名度——去年报考托福的国际学生人数接近100万。”

　　ETS继续拓展在全球范围内的网考考点，目前已达到4300多个，是其它任何英语水平考试考点数目的三倍以上。其中在中国地区网考考点逾100个。

As students plan to study abroad, many of them will apply to the top 100 universities around the world, identified recently on the popular http://www.topuniversities.com/ website. When students do apply, they will want to take ETS's TOEFL® (Test of English as a Foreign LanguageTM) test, because all of these top institutions and thousands more worldwide accept this highly respected and most widely accepted English-language admissions test.

Top-ranked universities including Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, Duke, the Imperial College of London and the University of Hong Kong, use the TOEFL test as part of the admissions process to determine whether nonnative, English-speaking students have the language skills to succeed.

While all 4,300 degree-awarding colleges and universities in the United States recognize TOEFL scores for admission, the test is an equally essential resource for admissions officers at universities in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Australia, Japan, Korea and China," explains Paul A. Ramsey, Senior Vice President of ETS's Global Division. "From humble beginnings four decades ago, the TOEFL test is now used by more than 6,000 universities in 110 countries and is the standard by which all English-language examinations are measured.

"TOEFL continues to grow in influence among universities around the world.  Over the past two years, more than 850 additional universities and colleges have joined the family of TOEFL score users because of the access it provides to the global pool of talented international students," s
