众所周知,信息学奥林匹克竞赛是智力与能力的竞赛,注重考察全面素质与创造能力。它是一项把省──全国──国际相衔接的系列性活动,是旨在广大青少年中普及计算机教育,推广计算机应用的一项学科性竞赛活动。但这样的竞赛活动和其它的学科竞赛还不一样,因为它与高考没有直接的关系,这必然给开展活动带来困难。 As we all know, the Informatics Olympiad is a competition of intelligence and ability, focusing on the overall quality and creativity. It is a series of activities linking the provinces - all over the country and the rest of the world. It is a disciplinary competition aimed at popularizing computer education and promoting computer applications among the majority of young people. However, such competitions and other subject competitions are not the same, because it has no direct relationship with the college entrance examination, which will inevitably bring about difficulties in conducting activities.
