全球统考无疑等同于普高学生参加的高考，其重要性不言而喻，关系到未来大学申请的走向，希望大家认真对待，保持一开始的好状态直至统考落幕，祝愿每一位同学都取得理想的成绩。

　　相信大家已经注意到了，这次的全球统考变成了“CAIE”而不再是之前所说的“CIE”。So，是A-Level课程换考试了吗？答案是“CIE已正式更名为CAIE”，所以考试还是原来的配方，其权威性是不变的。

Cambridge Assessment International Education剑桥大学国际考评部

　　We now have a Chinese translation for our official new name, Cambridge Assessment International Education – 剑桥大学国际考评部, and Cambridge International for short. We  have changed our name to explain more clearly who we are and what we do.

　　我们正式更名为剑桥大学国际考评部(Cambridge Assessment International Education)，简称剑桥国际(Cambridge International)。 我们的新名字将更好地展示我们的身份及工作范畴。

　　Assessment and therefore examinations remain at the heart of what we do and that is why our new name includes the word ‘assessment’. It also shows more clearly that we are part of Cambridge Assessment and share in its unrivalled expertise.

　　这次更名是要表明我们和剑桥大学英语考评部、牛津剑桥RSA考试局(OCR, Oxford Cambridge and RSA) 都是剑桥大学考评院(Cambridge Assessment)的一部分，共享世界领先的教育专长和资源。

　　But the most significant part of the name change isn’t what we’ve taken away, it’s what we’ve added – the word ‘education’. This is to reflect our desire to help you develop the whole education that you provide for your students.

　　但最重要的改变是我们把“教育”加到名字中——我们更加注重帮助学校为学生提供全面的教育。

　　We have also introduced the Cambridge Pathway as a new way to describe our educational programmes for schools.

　　借此机会，我们也想向您介绍我们的教学服务项目新名称——剑桥国际课程(Cambridge Pathway)。

　　Although our name has changed, our programmes and qualifications retain the same high quality that schools and universities worldwide trust. Our relationship with the University of Cambridge is unchanged.

　　虽然名字变化了，但我们的测评体系仍延续一如既往的高质量与高标准。我们与剑桥大学的关系也保持不变。

　　We are excited about this change and pleased to have a Chinese translation for our official new name. We look forward to working with you to help every student learn, discover and achieve.

　　我们期待在未来与您共同帮助学生学习、探索、实现理想。
