Which of the following can be inferred about the theory of plate tectonics? It is no longer of great interest to geologists. It was first proposed in the 1960's. It fails to explain why earthquakes occur. It refutes the theory of the existence of a supercontinent.

解析：根据原文末段末句，在1960's以前地质学家没有办法解释，而在之后tectonics理论给出了解释，于是可以推断这个理论在1960年推出，典型的"取非"细节推断题。

Carlin is where gold mining began for Newmont. In 1961, Newmont geologists began probing the high desert area around the Tuscarora Mountains in search of finely disseminated gold - gold that could be seen only in a microscope and, thus, had eluded earlier prospectors.

历史概述 Carlin是纽蒙特金矿的发源地。1961年，纽蒙特的地质人员开始在Tuscarora山四周的高沙漠地带寻找细颗粒浸染型金—一种极为细小，只有用显微镜才能看见的金子，所以以往的勘探人员都未能发现。1963年夏季通过钻孔和化验划定了一个 300万盎司的矿床，即使当时的金价每盎司只有35美元，该矿山也具有开采价值。
