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] The Norwegian Government has tried to______.
选项
A、encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources
B、prevent oil companies employing people from northern Norway
C、help the oil companies solve many of their problems
D、keep the oil industry to something near its present size
答案
D
解析
本题问挪威政府试图做什么。根据文章第一段,虽然挪威政府采取了一系列措施阻止石油工业的发展,但石油工业总有办法对付,没有多少人相信政府能长期抑制其发展。由此可见,挪威政府想方设法使石油工业保持其原有的规模,不希望它发展。因此,本题的正确答案应是D“挪威政府试图尽力使石油工业保持目前的规模”。
