26、 Recently, a 1935 letter in which Ernest Hemingway detailed his catch of a 500lb blue marlin(青枪鱼), an adventure that is believed to have partly inspired his novel The Old Man and the Sea, has been sold for﹩28，000 (£22，000).
The handwritten letter was sent by Hemingway on 8 May to the fishing editor of the Miami Herald, telling in great detail how the author and his friend Henry Strater battled to keep sharks away from the marlin after catching it off the Bahamian island of Bimini.
Nate D Sanders, the auction(拍卖)company which sold the letter, said it documented for the first time in Hemingway's own words not only the size of the marlin, but also the attack by sharks, reflecting the plot of the novel.
The company added that Hemingway's account of the marlin catch differed from other anecdotes(轶事) of it, one of which described Hemingway using a machine gun on the sharks, which is said to have attracted more sharks rather than frightened them away.
The Old Man and the Sea was also inspired by an anecdote told by Hemingway's Cuban friend Carlos Gutierrez. In 1936, Hemingway wrote in a magazine that Carlos had told him about an old fisherman who caught a great marlin alone.
Three years later, Hemingway told his editor Max Perkins that he was planning a short story about the old commercial fisherman who fought the swordfish all alone in his sailing boat. Instead, he ended up writing For Whom the Bell Tolls, not returning to the story about the old fisherman until January 1951. It won him the Pulitzer in 1953, and was specifically mentioned when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954.
【1】What did the auction company stress when selling the 1935 letter？
A. The style of the writer. B. The history of the letter.
C. The contents of the letter. D. The popularity of the writer.
【2】What inspired Hemingway to write The Old Man and The Sea besides his own adventure？
A. Henry Strater's account. B. Carlos Gutierrez's story.
C. Max Perkins' life experience. D. Nate D Sanders' description.
【3】Which is the correct order of time for the following facts in the passage?
1. Hemingway wrote a letter to describe his adventure.
2. Hemingway caught a big blue marlin.
3. The letter was sold at auction.
4. The Old Man and The Sea won the Nobel Prize.
A. ①③②④ B. ②①④③ C. ②④①③ D. ②③①④

29、 We all agree that we should recycle more at home, in the office or when out and about. 【1】 As a result, they can be collected and taken to the right place for recycling. This is what the process of sorting allows us to do.
【2】 And the effective sorting needs to happen first in our own home, and second in sorting plants to which waste is collected. When you put a plastic bottle in the right recycling bag or bin, you are helping sort recyclable things so that the right material can be fed into the right recycling process. If sorting does not happen, a lot of recyclable materials can end up in landfills. It will lead to valuable resources lost from our economy.
【3】 For instance, in Brussels consumers put plastic packaging, cans and soft drink cartons in blue bags designed for recyclable packaging; paper in yellow bags for recycling; and glass needs to be taken to specific collection bins. Somewhat differently, in Vienna(Austria), citizens can expect their paper, metal, glass and plastic to be separately collected in different weeks of the year. 【4】.
Once recyclable materials are collected from your home, they are further sorted in specialized facilities which ensure the quality of the recycling process. 【5】 Traditionally, sorting has been done either by hand with workers sorting what can be recycled and picking out the materials to be thrown away. Today, however, new sorting technologies are being developed in order to speed up the process of sorting but to also cause better results. Exciting technologies using magnets or optical systems are being used to effectively sort materials so more of them can be recycled.
A.Packaging is the first step towards recycling.
B.For effective recycling we need effective sorting.
C.So citizens need to be aware of their local collection system.
D.This is where different sorting techniques come into play.
E.The rest were landfilled or burned even though they could have been recycled or reused.
F.Collection systems can be very different from country to country.
G.But for materials to be recycled, they first need to find their way to the right waste bin.
