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（特羅姆瑟[挪威北部港市]）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.

The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to

A provide more jobs for foreign workers.

B slow down the rate of its development.

C sell the oil it is producing abroad.

D develop more quickly than at present.

The Norwegian Government has tried to

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.

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.

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.

Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because

A they form such a large part of Norwegian ideal.

B their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal.

C their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society.

D they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian way of life.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來源：2014屆浙江省高二下學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

To me, the ocean is our greatest wilderness. I love swimming in it , surfing its waves, watching it from shore and thinking about all the life living unseen under the surface.

When I take my little kids to check out tide pools, we’re overjoyed when we find a sea star or some shellfish. Lately, though, I've noticed a change in my favorite pools: there are more sea grasses and fewer animals with shells.

I can't help feeling these small changes portend something more troubling about our oceans. It matches what scientists are telling us: our oceans are being troubled by carbon dioxide that threatens corals, colorful fish, salmon, sea otters, even whales. Our oceans are facing a major change.

Every hour, a million tons of carbon dioxide from cars, factories and power plants rain down on the world’s oceans. Carbon pollution brings about a chemical reaction that turns sea water more acidic (酸的) and takes away things important for sea animals .

Some of us are already feeling the effects of this growing crisis（危機(jī)）. Shellfish farmers in the Pacific Northwest have reported a decrease in natural and farmed oysters(牡蠣). Just this week, a new studyproved the link between the huge reduction in the numbers of oysters and ocean acidification. As polar waters become more acidic, Alaskan fishermen are troubled by the future of smaller fish.

Without action, ocean acidification will have a disastrous influence on the food chain, affecting not only sea life but the people who depend on it for food and their living. Already, our oceans have become 30 percent more acidic since preindustrial times, and it gets worse every day. We can stop this frightening dream, but only if we act now.

That's why the Center for Biological Diversity has started a petition (請(qǐng)?jiān)笗? requesting President Obama and the Environmental Protection Agency to develop a plan to deal with ocean acidification. Decisive action can save sea life as we know it.

Now it isn’t too late to save our oceans and sea life. With immediate action to reduce carbon dioxide release we can start taking important steps today to deal with this disastrous situation. Join me in our petition calling for a national plan to save our oceans.

1.The author’s recent visits to the tide pool brought her ___ .

A．happiness         B．a(chǎn)nger             C．concern          D．comfort

2.The underlined word “portend” in Paragraph 3 probably means ___ .

A．predict           B．prevent           C．replace           D．reduce

3.What the author worries about most is ____ .

A．the harm of sea grasses

B．carbon pollution in the sea

C．that the petition may be turned down

D．how fishermen can make a living in the future

4.What is the main purpose of the text ?

A．To inform.         B．To educate.        C．To persuade .       D．To instruct.

Morocco is located at the northwest of Africa and is bordered in the north by the strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea. The Atlantic Ocean keeps the west and the north of the country more temperate(溫和的). The country also offers the broadest plains some of which run along the Atlantic Ocean and the highest mountains in North Africa including the Atlas Mountains.

Starting with the symbol of Morocco, Marrakech is a beautiful city that has remained unspoiled by the volume of tourists that flock there each year. One of the finest monuments in Morocco is greatly benefited by this amount of tourism. Actually their high volume contributes in a positive way to preserve one of the greatest monuments of Morocco.

Fes is the third largest city in Morocco and is the capital of the Fes-Boulemane Region. It is separated into three parts, Fes el Bali more commonly known as the old walled city, now classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Fes-Jdid and the Ville Nouvelle. Fes el Bali is believed to be the largest car-free urban area in the world. Fes is a splendid place to visit to heighten the senses with the colours, smells and sounds.

Casablanca is an enormous city which is near the capital of Morocco and a place where any European would feel at home. Casablanca was made famous by the movie and gives the impression of being a romantic place. Unfortunately like many other popular cities around the world, it is crowded, noisy, and polluted, a far cry from the romantic ideal of the film. Because it has the biggest port, Casablanca being the important city of Morocco, has everything that the tourists need.

Asilah is a city situated on the Atlantic Ocean and is one of the most stunning(出色的) old cities of Morocco. The city is set along the cliffs which make it beautifully presented and an ideal place to continue adding to its economy by the fishermen. The economy is also reliant on the trading of cattle, sheep and cereal.
