International consensus has been reached for the 2030 Agenda, and governments have adopted measures for the gradual implementation of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this implementation, education plays a crucial role. Recently, the extent to which Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has become the norm in national curricula, teacher education, and student assessment has been a focus of extensive research. The present study introduces the geography curriculum and the reform of the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) in China in the 2000s. A global indicator framework for SDGs is used to analyze sustainable development (SD) content and characteristics in NCEE geography papers. Findings reveal that SD accounts for an average of 71% of score points among the 24 sets of papers. Sustainable agriculture, terrestrial ecosystems, settlements, and water are well reflected in questions, especially water-related ecosystems, resilient agricultural practices, transportation system, tourism, desertification, and degraded land and soil. Sustainable development questions have the characteristics of setting open questions, paying attention to question situation, being close to real life, being moderately difficult, paying attention to regional SD and human-nature relationship, and diversifying question-setting patterns. According to the analysis of papers, SD plays an important role in geography education.

Due to previous college entrance examination system, high school students' focus has been more centered on obtaining high test score which led to forgetting about each student's personal differences and academic imbalance. According to this speculation and for other reasons, the idea of the new elective subject test system has been initiated in Zhejiang and Shanghai as a pilot stage. The New College Entrance Examination Selection System or in other words Elective Subject Test System is instead having to choose between two sets of exams (previously arts or science) students became able to choose 3 elective subjects (physics, chemistry, biology, geography, politics, history, and general technology). This paper is aimed to study elective subject test system in deep meaning, to have a better understanding of its purpose and its significance through previous literatures done by some researchers. The paper introduces and gives brief idea about college entrance examination, addresses the need for new college entrance examination reform in China and furthermore, discusses about the new elective subject test system. The issue of high school management and subject choice imbalance have been concerned. Future research is encouraged to be conducted regarding impacts of the elective subject test system.
