考点规范练25(模块八　Unit 2) 　考点规范练第50页　 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Away with words The Telegraph,an online news service,has teamed up with Saga,which provides products and services only for the over 50s,to hold a new competition to find the best travel writer.Three lucky winners will win a master class with two top Telegraph travel writers before traveling the world with Saga on one of three holidays of great comfort and pleasure.To enter,all you need to do is tell us something mysterious and wonderful about the world of travel—a favorite memory,a humorous tale,an unforgettable occasion or a sight worth writing about. What we are looking for You must be able to read not only those signs that help you find your way around but the ones that tell you how the locals tick.You must,in the words of Paul Theroux,an American travel writer,“describe exactly what you see and give it life with your imagination”. In this competition,you can do that in anything from 150 words to 500,but they should be your words,and fresh ones.We do expect you not to hide the truth or the facts about your experience.Beyond that,you can make the most of the freedom travel writing gives you. You’ll be editor as well as writer,so ensure those eyes are equally fresh when you check and recheck what you’ve written.We will make allowances for the occasional mistake,such as you have “fell” into a river.But we won’t put up with mistakes every few lines. Terms & conditions Competitors must be aged 50 years or older. The judging process is divided into two stages:entries will be hosted on the website for one month.The top 20 articles will then be selected by public vote.The top three winners will be chosen by three judges.
