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, 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.

   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 most of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.

72. 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

73. 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

74. According to the text, the oil industry might lead in Northern Norway to ____.

  A. the development of industry              B. a growth in population

  C. the failure of the development program      D. the development of new towns

75. In the south, one effect of the development of the oil industry might be _____.

  A. a large reduction in 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 industry.

  When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊)?On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.

  Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.

The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits (or advantages)of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.

  The main benefits(or advantages)of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."

Congratulations! You are the Time magazine "Person of the Year".

The annual honor for 2006 went to anyone that uses or creates content on the Internet. The  magazine designed special cover-a white keyboard with a mirror for a computer screen where buyers can see their reflection- for the issue, reflecting the importance of user-generated(使用者自创) Internet content as a driving force in the modem world.

User-generated content on websites such as YouTube has proved the latest twist(转折) in the Internet revolution. YouTube has attracted millions of users and earned its founders $ US1.65 billion when it was bought by Google earlier this year.

Normally, the magazine describes its person of the year not necessarily as an honor, but as "the person or persons who most affected the news and our lives, for good or for ill, and represented what was important about the year". Mr. Stengel said in an interview that to select the "Person of the Year" is to look for someone who's a symbol.

The magazine did cite(提名) 26 "People Who Mattered," from Chinese President Hu Jintao to a group of three persons that included: U.S. President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield.

It was not the first time that the magazine went away from naming an actual person for its

"Person of the Year". In 1966, the 25-and-under generation was cited; in 1975, American women were named; and in 1982, the computer was chosen.

In 2005, the winners were Bill and Melinda Gates and rock star Bono, who were cited for their charitable(慈善的) work aimed at reducing global poverty and improving world health.

65. "You", the Time magazine 'Person of the Year 2006', refers to________.

      A. anyone who reads this magazine     B. anyone who surfs the Internet

      C. anyone who knows the result of the selection  D. anyone who reads the passage

66. The fashionable character of the Internet revolution is________.

      A. to search information on the Internet      B. to use the Internet to make money

      C. to be cited for "Person of the Year"       D. to create content onto the Internet

67. The usual qualification of "Person of the Year" is that a person or persons must________.

      A. do the most good to the world in the year     B. not live up to the expectation of the world     

      C. really affect the world the most in the year  D. help the world move ahead in the year

68. Which of the following is true?

      A. U.S. President Bush was cited for "Person of the Year 2006".

      B. Chinese President Hu Jintao was cited for "Person of the Year 2006".

      D. A rock star is unlikely to be cited for the "Person of the Year".

 Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.

  I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.

  I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.

  If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.

  Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.

  Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.

  60. What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?

     A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.

     B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.

     C. He will give the very person long list of direction.

     D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.

  61. Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?

     A. Because of his poor sense of direction.

     B. Because he always forget the way to home.

     C. Because he did not have any friend.

     D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.

  62. How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?

     A. He felt strange.                               B. He felt embarrassed.

     C. He felt very sad.                                    D. He felt astonished.

  63. Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?

     A. Someone we don’t know.                 B. The writer did it for himself.

     C. The secretary did so.                        D. A warm-hearted old lady did it.
