A total of 9.4 million Chinese high school students have sat for the Gaokao, the annual national college entrance exam which fell on June the 7th to 9th this year as always.
The test is often called a battle to determine a student's future, as the results can decide whether a student goes to college, back to school for another year, or starts a career.
Because the stakes are high, cheating is a recurring problem.
During the first day, two hours after the test began, media reports alleged a surrogate exam-taker in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi Province in east China, have been detected.
The provincial education department immediately investigated and apprehended the suspect in a high school exam room with the police in attendance, less than half an hour before the first test ended.
The suspect admitted to being a stand in, and further investigations are under way.
The Ministry of Education, meanwhile, says it has asked the public security ministry to oversee the investigation. Cheating in the Gaokao can amount to a punishable crime in serious cases.
Though the scams will never disappear, the Gaokao has become a fairer game since last year with new rules being enforced. It was the biggest change since the exam was reintroduced in 1977.

这里是NEWS Plus慢速英语，马克·格里菲斯从北京为您报道新闻，下面是详细内容。
今年中国有940万名高中生参加高考，今年的大学入学考试像往年一样在6月7日至9日举行。
高考通常被称为决定考生未来的战争，因为高考成绩决定一名学生是上大学，还是回到学校复读，或是步入社会。
正因为事关重大，所以作弊成为反复出现的问题。
在高考第一天，考试开始两个小时以后，媒体报道称中国东部江西省省会南昌市拘留了一名高考替考者。
江西省教育部门立即展开调查，随后警方在一个高中考场逮捕了嫌疑人，此时据第一场考试结束还有不到半小时的时间。
嫌疑人承认替考，目前进一步调查仍在进行中。
同时，教育部要求公安部监督调查工作的进展。高考作弊严重者会受到法律惩罚。
虽然诈骗现象不会消失，但自去年新规实施以来，高考更显公平。这是1977年恢复高考以来的最大变化。
