3000美元替考被抓 中国留学生面临重罪

　　今日，美国亚利桑那州新闻台Ktar新闻报道，一位来自中国的亚利桑那州立大学生程晓萌（Xiaomeng Cheng, 音译）被指控入学申请作弊。

　　程，21岁，本月被国土安全调查局逮捕。被捕的还有来自马萨诸塞州和宾夕法尼亚州的三名中国学生。

　　本月早些时候，美国国土安全局指控程晓萌在英文考试失败三次后，作弊通过了英文水平考试。程是亚利桑那大学W.P.凯瑞商学院会计系学生。指控称，程支付另一位中国学生，25岁的王月（Yue Wang, 音译）1000美金筹款，雇佣其替考。据悉，王是一名在马萨诸塞州剑桥的Hult国际商学院的学习的学生。

　　托福考试为美国9000多所高校所承认。国际学生需要通过该测试才能够获得学生签证，以及进入大多数学校入读。考试前，所有的考生需要拍照。诉讼说，参加考试的人将会采取付费护照和信息来愚弄考试中心。

　　诉讼还说，这一替考行径是在另一个学生身上发现的。考试人员发现一名名为YY的人员为其他学生替考。YY告诉调查人员，王提出，花900美元雇其替该生通过考试。YY身份不明。据悉，王因为曾经欺诈性考试被捕而找到YY替考。

　　王告诉调查人员，另外至少有两个人雇佣她通过考试。这二人分别是东北大学的24岁张世坤（Shikun Zhang) 和宾夕法尼亚州立大学21岁的黄乐怡（Leyi Huang)。记录显示，张和黄各支付了王3000美元，二人学校分别要求托福最低分为92分和80分。相关证据证实了这一说法。

　　诉讼建议，程将面临一个阴谋重罪。

　　Feds say Arizona State University student cheated to get into school

　　PHOENIX An Arizona State University student from China has been accused of cheating to gain entry into the school, a lawsuit said.

　　The suit filed earlier this month by the Department of Homeland Security alleged Xiaomeng Cheng used a test-taking scheme to pass an English proficiency test after failing at least three times.

　　The lawsuit alleged that Cheng an accounting student at ASUs W.P. Carey School of Business, according to the Phoenix New Times paid another Chinese student, Yue Wang, $1,000 to take it for her. Wang passed.

　　The Test of English as a Foreign Language is used at more than 9,000 schools in the United States. A passing grade is required for international students to receive a student visa and for entry into most schools.

　　Test-takers are photographed prior to the exam. The lawsuit said the test-takers would take a paying students passport and information to fool testing centers.

　　The lawsuit said the scheme was uncovered after another student, identified only as YY, was caught taking the test for someone else. YY told investigators Wang, a student at the Hult International Business School in Cambridge, Mass., had offered to pay her $900 for a passing grade on the test.

　　Wang told investigators she had been paid to take the test by at least two others. Photo evidence allegedly confirmed that claim.

　　The lawsuit recommended Cheng should face one count of felony conspiracy.
