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 a 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 from the 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 the 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.
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

Virus Linked to Prostate (前列腺) Tumours

The researchers from the University of Utah and Columbia University medical schools found the virus in 27% of the 200 cancerous prostates they looked at. They say it was associated with more aggressive tumours and found in only 6% of non - cancerous prostates. The finding raises the prospect of one day producing a vaccine to protect against prostate cancer. This is the first report to link XMRV (Xenotropic murine leukaemia virus--related virus) to human cancers.
XMRV is a retrovirus like HIV which works by inserting a copy of its own DNA into the chromosomes (染色体) of a cell they infect. When this occurs to a gene that regulates cell growth, it can disrupt the normal development of the cell.
Dr Helen Rippon, Head of Research Management at The Prostate Cancer Charity, said the research was intriguing (吸引人的) but posed several key questions about the role the infection plays in prostate cancer. He said: " Around the world, extensive work is being undertaken to identify risk factors for prostate cancer which will enable treatments and tests for the disease to be refined. "
"It is critically important to identify key triggers of prostate cancer to improve early detection of the disease in men with potentially life threatening prostate cancer. "
XMRV is known to cause leukemia (白血病) and other tumours in animals. Dr Ila Singh, who led the study from the pathology department at the University of Utah, said: "We still don’t know that this virus causes cancer in people, but that is an important question we are going to investigate. "
Dr Chris Parker, Cancer Research UK’ s prostate cancer expert at the Institute of Cancer Research said: "This exciting study raises the possibility that the virus might contribute to the development of some prostate cancers. "
"In the future, if it turns out to he true, then we, could speculate about the possibility of vaccination to protect against prostate cancer, similar to the approach now used to prevent cervical cancer (子宫颈癌). /
How does the XMRV work to damage the human health

A:To stop the development of cells. B:To make the development of cells quicker than norm. C:To disrupt the development of cells. D:To destroy the development of genes.

Questions from 36 to 40 are based on the following passage: China’s trade volume surged in 2010. The development wasn’t only in quantity, but also in quality — namely structure diversification. The European Union, the United States and Japan remained China’s top 3 largest trading partners in 2010. But trade volumes between China and other emerging economies increased also. Bilateral trade volumes between China and other BRIC nations — Brazil, Russia and India — all jumped more than 40 percent. That made India China’s tenth largest trading partner. Huang Guohua, Statistics Department Director of General Administration of Customs said “Trade volume between China and emerging economies increased faster than that with the traditional market. It indicates that China’s foreign trade is diversifying, and showing less dependence on the traditional partners. It’s a good way to reduce risks.” Data also shows that foreign trade volumes developed dramatically in China’s middle and western areas last year. Although the southern province of Guangdong still topped others in the total volume of import and export. Huang Guohua said “The export volume of middle and western areas surged over 40 percent year on year in 2010. The speed was 10 percentage points higher than the country’s total. It indicates that industrial structure has improved in these areas.” The import and export volume of private enterprises surged faster than the country’s average in 2010, with 47 percent year on year growth. Experts say China’s foreign trade development reduced dependence on foreign-funded enterprises. 2010 imports and exports reached a historical high with a strong sign that the country’s trade sector has shrugged off the global economic recession. In which terms can we say that China’s foreign trade is diversifying( )

A:the development in quantity B:the development in quality C:the development in quantity and quality D:the development in quotient
