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 Government will be able to hold things back for long. As one Norwegian politician said last week: "We will soon be changed beyond all recognition".
Ever since the law, 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 per cent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose most 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 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 in northern Norway to______.
选项
A、the development of industry
B、a growth in population
C、the failure of the development program
D、the development of new towns
答案
C

本题问石油工业可能会给挪威北方地区带来什么。文章第二段指出,自从新法实施以来,挪威政府一直在北极圈北部实施一项发展项目。在过去的几年中,这个项目取得了很大的成就,如特洛索已经成为该地区的首府,有一所大学,一家大医院和一个健康产业。但石油工业已开始将人们吸引到南方,几年内整个发展北部项目的政策将会毁于一旦。因此,本题的正确答案应是C“石油工业将使发展项目失败”。
