    In recent years, the Chinese auto industry has seen rapid growth, with the demand on private cars rising sharply in Chinese cities since 2002.

    By 2009, China has replaced the U.S. to become the world's largest auto market. As an important part of the world car industry, the global auto industry will shift further to China. This brings historical opportunity to China's auto market.

    Currently, both the development of China's auto market and the changes in consumer demand for vehicles are ever -increasing. China's auto industry will continue to grow in the next decade. It means there is still huge room for its development. China has an urban population of more than 600million. It also has a huge agricultural vehicle market in the rural areas. Hence, there is no doubt for China's development of auto industry. That is also the reason why the world's auto producers are paying more attention to the Chinese market.

    ()26. The demand on private cars increased greatly in Chinese cities since 2002.

    ()27. China has become the world's largest auto market.

    ()28. China's auto industry tends to decrease in the next decade.

    ()29. China has an urban population of less than 600 million.

    ()30. The reason why the world's auto producers are paying more attention to the Chinese market is that China's auto industry developed very quickly.

    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 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.

    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 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 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

    答案:D
    解析:
    第一段,挪威政府设定了一项新的法律以限制石油的勘探,其目的在于减缓发展的步伐,所以选B。
    政府设定“production limits(产量限制)”的初衷在于使石油工业保持现有的发展水平,而不想扩展。
    第二段开头提到政府在第二次世界大战后一直在实施北极圈北部地区的发展项目,尽管取得了成效,但是石油工业的高就业率吸引着人们,这将导致北部发展项目的失败。
    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。
    挪威的农民和渔夫之所以重要,原因在于他们身上具有挪威人引以为自豪的品质,即他们的生活方式和价值观,因此选项D正确。

    该段录音讲述了Windows系统和微软公司的发展,其中提到比尔·盖茨成为了世界上最富有的人,“His firm has also, of course, been through a bruising battle with antitrust regulators”,可知微软公司经历了与反垄断监管部门的激烈斗争。因此A项为正确答案。
    【录音原文】
    Windows, just a prototype in 1983, is now the dominant personal-computer (PC) operating system, having seen off a host of rivals. The computer industry has mushroomed in size, gone through several booms and busts, and is now worth around $870 billion. Microsoft has become the world’s largest software firm, and Mr. Gates the world’s richest man. His firm has also, of course, been through a bruising battle with antitrust regulators. But even as the landscape has changed around Mr. Gates, his position as the industry’s figurehead has remained unchallenged. Each year, for two digital decades, he has returned to Comdex to rally the industry, hold court with analysts and journalists, unveil new products and present his optimistic vision of the future.
