"These four test papers are all test papers from the preliminary round of the National High School Mathematics League in our Anhui Division in recent years.

Although the preliminary test papers are not as difficult as the first and second tests, they are set by the Provincial Mathematical Society.

Its scope is also based on the required content in the current high school mathematics syllabus. It mainly tests your mastery of basic knowledge and basic skills, as well as your ability to comprehensively use knowledge to analyze and solve problems.

However, this is enough to prove your current strength.

I would like to recommend you to participate in the preliminary round of the Anhui Division of the National High School Mathematics League to be held in September this year. There are still three months left before the preliminary round, and there are two months in the middle of the summer vacation. You can also take advantage of the summer vacation.

Improve your math skills.

I don’t know if you have heard the relevant news. Now I will tell you about this competition and the advanced competition..."

Fang Qiu talked to Zhao Xiancai about the specific matters of the competition.

It was from what Fang Qiu said that Zhao Xian knew that the conditions for admission to the competition would change starting next year. It was not like what Wang Yisong said yesterday. As long as you win the National High School Mathematics League,

The first prize will be guaranteed.

According to what Fang Qiu said, it is much more difficult to participate in competitions now than before.

Fang Qiu's words opened a window for Zhao Xiancai, allowing him to see farther away.

"Preliminaries, first test and second test, provincial team, national training team, national team, and finally the International Mathematical Olympiad, gold medal."

Zhao Xiancai, who originally planned to study step by step and start studying college knowledge on his own when he was a sophomore in high school, suddenly found another direction in life.

This is a road that is much more difficult than the college entrance examination. This road gathers all the mathematical geniuses in the entire country and even the entire world.

Suddenly, a kind of pride burst out in Zhao Xiancai's heart, which was a yearning for the gold medal in the International Mathematical Olympiad.

"As for the cost of participating in the competition, you don't have to worry about that. Even if you make it to the provincial team and eventually go to the National Middle School Mathematics Winter Camp, the school will cover your food, clothing, and accommodation.

As for related materials, I can buy them for you through the school, and you can also look for relevant recommendations online later.

After you look at the recommendations and decide which information books you want to buy, don't rush to buy them. You can tell me first and I will buy them for you, and you can also reimburse the school."

Seeing that Zhao Xiancai didn't respond for a while after he finished talking about the competition, Fang Qiu thought he was worried about money, so he said to him.

Whether you are registering for a competition or participating in a subsequent winter camp, you need to pay money.

"Thank you, teacher. Should I focus all my energy on mathematics now, or should other subjects continue as before?"

After the other party thanked him, Zhao Xiancai asked again.

"Because the difficulty of recommendation is now much higher than before, and you are about to be a sophomore before you are ready to take on the competition questions.

Therefore, it is still very difficult for you to qualify for recommendation. In fact, let alone entering the national training team, just being able to enter the provincial team is already very good.

Therefore, I recommend you to participate because I want you to give it a try without feeling too much psychological pressure.

Don't rush to put down your studies in other subjects. After all, if you don't get the recommendation and you fall behind in other subjects, it won't be worth the loss.

After all, according to your current level, you will definitely be able to get into an ideal university by taking the college entrance examination.

By the way, I also printed here a notice issued by the Provincial Mathematical Society last month on holding high school mathematics competitions.

There isn’t much content in it, so you can take a look at it when you go back to understand the basic situation.”

Fang Qiu said and handed Zhao Xiancai a document titled "Notice on Holding the 2013 High School Mathematics Competition in Anhui Province."

Just when Fang Qiu was about to continue talking to Zhao Xiancai, the class bell rang. He could only say to Zhao Xiancai: "If you have any questions later, you can ask me at any time. Let's go to class first."

Although I knew that Zhao Xiancai was in class doing his own test questions and could not listen to lectures, he could not miss class no matter what.

After leaving the office, Zhao Xiancai first looked at the question he got wrong, and then read the notice Fang Qiu gave him.

This notice was issued on May 16th. According to the content of this notice, it can be seen that the preliminary competition will be held in various cities on the morning of September 14th. The range of questions is also the same as Fang Qiu said. Based on the current high school mathematics

The required content in the syllabus shall prevail.

The first and second tests will be held on the morning of October 13th. After the first test, there will be a 20-minute break before the second test.

The scope of knowledge involved in the first test does not exceed the teaching requirements and content stipulated in the "Mathematics Teaching Syllabus for Full-time Senior High Schools" issued by the Ministry of Education in 2000, but the method requirements have been improved.

The second test is in line with the National Mathematical Olympiad (Winter Camp) and the International Mathematical Olympiad. It has expanded in knowledge and appropriately added some content beyond the syllabus, including 4 solution questions involving plane geometry, algebra, and number theory.

, combining four aspects.

The difference between the preliminary round, the first test, and the second test is that the preliminary round is held by the provinces, and each province has independent propositions. Different provinces have different names. Some are called preliminary rounds, and some are called preliminaries. The purpose is to select

Participants in the National High School Mathematics League.

The first and second exams are both National High School Mathematics League exams. All provinces across the country use the same test papers, and there are no so-called preliminary rounds and preliminaries.

Although he was in class, he saw that Zhao Xiancai stayed in the office until the bell rang before returning to the classroom. He was holding a piece of paper and reading it as soon as he came back. Cheng Zhijun also glanced at it curiously.

When he saw the words "National High School Mathematics League" on the title, Cheng Zhijun knew that Wang Yisong's previous guess was correct. It seemed that the head teacher really wanted Zhao Xiancai to participate in the mathematics competition.

However, although this idea was already confirmed in his mind, Cheng Zhijun still asked Zhao Xiancai in a low voice, "Are you ready to participate in the competition?"

"Um."

Zhao Xiancai just nodded and hummed lightly without saying anything else.

After all, although he is not listening to the class now, he can't talk casually in class, disturbing the surrounding students and affecting the teacher's class, right?

Zhao Xiancai still had to give the most basic respect to his teachers. After all, the teachers in various subjects were very good to him. When he went to them to ask for review materials for the third year of high school, they all provided help.

"Do you want to buy some learning materials? Or buy them directly from the system?

I still have 75 points, which should be enough.

In addition, I can also receive a task, but the system has not released new tasks recently, and it is unknown how many new points I can get next time.

Let’s ask the system first how many points it costs to learn the math knowledge related to the math competition.”
