Where are the highest mountains? A few mountains stand alone, such as Mount Egmont in New Zealand, and Mount Kenya in Afric

14、a. Most mountains are found in long chains called mountain ranges. The Pennines, the Cambrian Mountains, the Alps, the Andes and Rockies are examples of mountain ranges. The highest mountain range on the Earth is the Himalayas in Asia. In order to understand how mountains are formed, we need to know

15、 what the inside of the Earth is like. The Earth is made up of layers of rock. The outside layer of rock, the one we live on, is called the Earths crust. Beneath the crust is a layer called the mantle. Near the top of the mantle, some of the rocks have melted and are a liquid, like sticky tar. Becau

16、se all the rocks around it press on the mantle, the molten rock tries to force its way out. If the molten rock does find a weak spot, it bursts through the Earths crust, forming a volcano. Some mountains were made by volcanoes. The Earths crust is made up of large pieces, called plates, which fit to

17、gether like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Some of the plates carry continents, others carry oceans. The plates move slowly, floating on the molten rocks of the mantle below. As the plates move, they push against each other, slowly pushing up the rocks in folds to form mountains. India used to be a

18、long way from Asia, but gradually the plate with India on it moved closer to the plate bearing Asia. The rocks in the sea between India and Asia were pushed up in folds that now form the Himalayan mountain range. That is why it is sometimes possible to find seashells near the tops of the Himalayas.

19、Many other mountain ranges, including the Alps, Rockies and Pen-nines , are similar great folds of rock. While some plates are pushing together, others are moving further apart. Europe and North America are slowly moving further apart. Each year the Atlantic Ocean is a few centimetres wider. As the

20、rocks move, they often crack or break. These breaks are called faults. Sometimes, great blocks of rocks are pushed up between two faults. These blocks may be so large and high that they form mountains. Some of the highland areas of East Africa are block mountains, so are the Vosges mountains in Fran

21、ce and the Sierra Nevada mountains in the western United States. Block mountains often have flat tops. A flat-topped highland is called a plateau.

22、n B_By studying the notebooks, correspondence, and conversations of some of the worlds great thinkers in science, art, and industry, scholars have identified the following thinking strategies that enable geniuses to generate original ideas: 1Sigmund Freuds analytical methods were designed to find de

23、tails that didnt fit traditional paradigms in order to come up with a completely new point of view. To solve a problem creatively , you must abandon the first approach that comes to mind, which usually stems from past experience , and reconceptualize the problem. Geniuses do not merely solve existin

24、g problems: they identify new ones. 2Geniuses develop visual and spatial abilities that allow them to display information in new ways. The explosion of creativity in the Renaissance was tied to the development of graphic illustration during that period, notably the scientific diagrams of Leonardo da

25、 Vinci and Galileo Galilei. Galileo revolutionized science by making his thought graphically visible while his contemporaries used more conventional means. Geniuses produce. Thomas Edison held 1,093 patents, still a record. He guaranteed a high level of productivity by giving himself idea quotas: on

26、e minor invention every ten days and a major invention every six months. Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a cantata every week even when he was sick. Wolfgang Mozart produced more than 600 pieces of music. 3Like playful children with buckets of building blocks, geniuses constantly combine and recombine i

27、deas, images, and thoughts. The laws of heredity were developed by Gregor Mendel , who combined mathematics and biology to create a new science of genetics. 4Their facility to connect the unconnected enables geniuses to see things others miss. Da Vinci noticed the similarity between the sound of a b

28、ell and a stone hitting water-and concluded that sound travels in waves. 5Whenever we attempt to do something and fail, we end up doing something else.Thats the first principle of creative accident. We may ask ourselves why we have failed to do what we intended, which is a reasonable question. But t

29、he creative accident leads to the question: What have we done? Answering that one in a novel, unexpected way is the essential creative act. It is not luck, but creative insight of the highest order. This may be the most important lesson of all: When you find something interesting, drop everything an

30、d go with it. Too many talented people fail to make significant leaps of imagination because theyve become fixated on their pre-conceived plan. But not the truly great minds. They dont wait for gifts of chance: they make them happen. Questions 6165Complete the passage with the following sentences. T

There were several versions of the game until 1845, when Alexander J. Cartwright

35、organized “a group of players to decide on one set of rules. The main change from rounders was that a runner had to be tagged or touched by a player holding the ball to be put out, rather than hit by a thrown ball. This meant that a smaller, harder ball could be used, which in turn made possible a f

36、aster, larger game. Until the mid-1860s, baseball was an amateur sport, which means that the players were not paid. The first professional team, the Cincinnati “Red Stockings“ , was organized in 1869 and within two years the sport was more or less professional. Nowadays the best players can earn mil

37、lions of dollars playing baseball. Professional baseball in the United States and Canada consists of two leagues and for the first half of the twentieth century there were also separate leagues for black players. The black leagues produced many excellent players but it wasnt until the 1940s, and the

38、 success of Jackie Robinson playing for the Brooklyn “ Dodgers“ , that black players were integrated into white major-league baseball in the United States. Baseball has had a broad impact on popular culture, both in the United States and elsewhere. Dozens of English-language idioms have been derived

39、 from baseball, for instance, the baseball meaning of “ out of the ball park“ is to hit a home run, but its non-baseball equivalent is to do something well or exactly as it should be done. The baseball cap has become a worldwide fashion i-tem not only in the United States, but also in countries wher

40、e the sport itself is not particularly popular, such as the United Kingdom. Baseball has inspired many works of art and entertainment. One of the first major examples, Ernest Thayers poem “Casey at the Bat“ , appeared in 1888. There have been many baseball movies, including the Academy Award-winning

41、 The Pride of the Yankees(1942)and the Oscar nominees The Natural(1984)and Field of Dreams(1989). Literary works connected to the game include the short fiction of Ring Lardner and novels such as Robert Coovers The Universal Baseball Association, Inc. , J. Henry Waugh, Prop. Baseballs literary canon

42、 also includes the beat reportage of Damon Runyon: the columns of Grantland Rice, Red Smith, Dick Young, and Peter Gammons: and the essays of Roger Angell.
