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. [br] Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because______.
选项
A、they form such a large part of Norwegian society
B、their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal
C、their work is useful to the rest of Norwegian society
D、they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian way of life
答案
B
解析
本题问挪威的农民和渔民有很大的影响力,原因是什么。文章第四段指出,反对石油发展的主要原因是它威胁到挪威人的生活方式。虽然农民和渔民并不占人口的大多数,但却很重要,因为挪威人骄傲地认为在他们身上体现了挪威人的基本生活方式和价值观等。所以由于石油工业给农村和海洋带来的可能的危害,正是农民和渔民对石油工业批评得最猛烈。因此,本题的正确答案应是B“因为他们的生活方式和价值观代表了挪威人的理想”。
