The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As on Norwegian politician said last week: “We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”
Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.
The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.
The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of it, because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.
1. The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to
[A] provide more jobs for foreign workers.

[D] keep the oil industry to something near its present size.
3. According to the passage, the oil industry might lead northern Norway to
[A] the development of industry.
[B] a growth in population.
[C] the failure of the development programme.
[D] the development of new towns.
4. In the south, one effect to the development of the oil industry might be
[A] a large reduction on unemployment.
[B] a growth in the tourist industry.
[C] a reduction in the number of existing industries.
[D] the development of a number of service industries.
5. Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because
[A] they form such a large part of Norwegian ideal.
[B] their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal.
[C] their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society.
[D] they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian way of life.

寫作方法與文章大意
文章論述“挪威政府意欲控制石油工業(yè)”。采用對(duì)比寫法。先提出政府新 政 策的種種限制。但石油工業(yè)有辦法對(duì)付。人們都認(rèn)為限制難以長久。其次講述，從戰(zhàn)時(shí)起，挪威政府一直執(zhí)行開發(fā)北極圈北部地區(qū)的發(fā)展規(guī)劃，也取得成功。但石油工業(yè)已經(jīng)開始向南方進(jìn)軍，北方政策可能會(huì)失敗。石油工業(yè)之影響超出北方，有些企業(yè)縮小，減少。最后一段是講爭論的焦點(diǎn)：石油對(duì)挪威生活方式構(gòu)成了威脅，具體表現(xiàn)在對(duì)挪威理想的代表――漁民和農(nóng)民的威脅。
答案詳解
1. B 減慢發(fā)展速率。文章開始就闡明挪威政府正竭盡全力把石油工業(yè)控制起來，制定新法律來限制勘探開采，限制產(chǎn)量，限制雇傭外國工人人數(shù)。A. 為外國工人提供更多的工作。C.賣掉正在國外生產(chǎn)的石油。D.比現(xiàn)在發(fā)展更快。
2. D 使石油工業(yè)保持在接近現(xiàn)在的規(guī)模。A. 鼓勵(lì)石油公司去發(fā)現(xiàn)新石油資源。B.制止石油公司雇傭來自挪威北方的人。C.幫助石油公司解決許多問題。
3. C 發(fā)展規(guī)劃的失敗。這在第二段最后一句：“可是石油工業(yè)已經(jīng)開始把人們吸引到南方去，所以不出幾年，整個(gè)北方政策可能成泡影。”A.工業(yè)發(fā)展。B.人口增長。D.新城市的發(fā)展。文內(nèi)沒有涉及。
4. C 現(xiàn)存工業(yè)數(shù)的減少。第三段開始“可是石油工業(yè)的影響并不僅僅限于北方。近百分之一百的就業(yè)率，使每個(gè)人都見到發(fā)展的勢頭，服務(wù)業(yè)和旅游業(yè)的好多工人轉(zhuǎn)向石油工業(yè)。某些較小的工業(yè)，在從國外購進(jìn)貨物更便宜的情況下，很可能會(huì)全部消失。”這說明工業(yè)數(shù)減少。A.大大減少失業(yè)。B.旅游行業(yè)增長。D.許多服務(wù)公司發(fā)展。文內(nèi)沒有提。
5. B 他們的生活和價(jià)值代表了挪威人的理想。A.他們組成了那么大一部分挪威理想。C.他們的工作對(duì)挪威社會(huì)的其他方面非常有用。D.他們認(rèn)為石油是對(duì)挪威生活方式的威脅。最后一段第 一句話：“對(duì)石油真正的爭論點(diǎn)是它對(duì)挪威生活方式的一種威脅。”并不是他們認(rèn)為威脅。
