问题 The NorWegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control．A new law limits exdloration 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 1 00 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 eyen 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________．
选项 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
答案C
解析 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。
