Oil Industry in Norway

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 an Norwegian politician said last week:"We will soon be changed beyond all recognition."
Ever since the war,the Government has been carrying out a program of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle.During the past few years this program 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.

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

参考答案和解析

答案：C

解析：

第一段，挪威政府设定了一项新的法律以限制石油的勘探，其目的在于减缓发展的步伐，所以选B。
政府设定“production limits（产量限制）”的初衷在于使石油工业保持现有的发展水平，而不想扩展。
第二段开头提到政府在第二次世界大战后一直在实施北极圈北部地区的发展项目，尽管取得了成效，但是石油工业的高就业率吸引着人们，这将导致北部发展项目的失败。
第三段指出，服务业和旅游业的从业人员转向石油行业，其影响之一便是一些现有行业的消失。
挪威的农民和渔夫之所以重要，原因在于他们身上具有挪威人引以为自豪的品质，即他们的生活方式和价值观，因此选项D正确。

A) heavy industry becomes mare energy-intensive

B) income loss mainly results from fluctuating crude oil. prices

C) manufacturing industry has been seriously squeezed

D) oil price changes have no significant impact on GDP

正确答案：D
答案：D
[试题分析]文章细节事实题。
[详细解答]题干要求考生判断《经济展望》中的估计说明了发达国家的什么情况。文章第四段提到，国际经合组织 (OECD，Organization for Economic Co-operation and Develop ment)在最近一期的(经济展望)中估计，如果石油价格全年保持在乎均22美元一桶的水平，那么相对1998年的 19美元一桶，这将使发达国家在石油进口方面的支出增加仅为国内生产总值的0.25-0.5%。这比1974年或 1980年四分之一的收入损失要小。可见D选项“oil price changes have no significant impact on GDP'’(油价变化对 GDP没有重大影响)是其中表达的含义。B选项"income loss mainly results from fluctuating crude oil prices”(收入的损失主要来自原油价格的波动)和文意相反。A选项“heavy industry becomes more energy-intensive”(重工业消耗更多能源)和C选项"manufacturing industry has been seriously squeezed" (制造业受到了严重的冲击)都不是该文讨论的问题。

第4题：

The Law to Keep the Oil Industry under Control
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.

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.

答案：C

解析：

本题考查细节

A选项，工业发展。文内没有涉及，故排除。

B选项，人口增长。文内没有涉及，故排除。

D选项，新城市的发展。文内没有涉及，故排除。故正确选项为C。

B) inflation seems irrelevant to oil -price shocks

C) energy conservation can keep down the oil prices

D) the price rise of crude leads to the shrinking of heavy industry

正确答案：A
答案：A
[试题分析]文章主旨题。
[详细解答]题干要求考生识别文章的中心思想，即“我们能从文章中得出什么结论”。文章一开始提出最近石油价格大幅上涨，会不会像前两次油价暴涨一样造成经济衰退。但接下来它又说这次油价上涨的影响不会像以前那样严重，并说出了几点原因：(1)原油价格只占汽油价格的一小部分，(2)发达国家对石油的依赖性不如从前，(3)并没有同时发生商品总价格上涨和全球需求旺盛的现象。因此，文章的中心思想是A选项“oil-price shocks are less shocking now”(现在的油价暴涨并不可怕)。B选项“iafla tion seems irrelevant to oil-price shocks”(通货膨胀与油价暴涨无关)，C选项"energy conservation can keep down the oil prices"(能源储备能够压抑油价)和D选项“the price rise of crude leads to the shrinking of heavy industry”(原油价格上涨导致重工业的萎缩)都不是全文重点讨论的内容。
