5 . Denmark is the largest producer of oil and gas in the European Union, which does not include Norway and the UK, two countries that are larger producers. In 2016, Denmark produced 145,674 barrels of oil per day. That’s why the Danish government’s decision to end all oil and gas exploration in the North Sea is such a big deal.

Denmark will stop extracting (提炼) fossil fuels from the 55 existing oil and gas platforms in the sea at the end of 2050. The future of these offshore oil and gas rigs (钻塔) was uncertain after Denmark agreed to a very ambitious climate target in 2019, to reduce greenhouse emissions by 70 percent in 2030 and to being completely climate neutral 20 years later.

The Danish government estimated that this new policy will amount to $2.147 billion in lost revenue (财政收入). It is the oil and gas industries in the North Sea that made Denmark one of the richest countries as well as one of the happiest. But, for last 10 years, the country has focused on clean energy including offshore wind farms.

Denmark is not the first country to end oil and gas exploration, that title goes to France, but it is the first major fossil fuel producing one and this decision is being applauded by environmental groups.

“This is what climate leadership looks like,” Mel Evans, a climate campaigner for Greenpeace UK, said. “All eyes will be on the UK next year as we host crucial climate talks, so our prime minister should take note.”

While it is unknown if the UK will follow, Denmark’s decision is still a huge victory in the fight against climate change and will go a long way to meeting the 2015 Paris Agreement to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius. Hopefully more countries will follow.

1. What has Danmark paid more attention to in the recent decade?

A．Gas and oil.

B．Happiness.

C．Agricultural farms.

D．Clean energy.

2. What can we infer from what Mel Evans said?

A．He participated in climate talks.	B．He thinks highly of Denmark’s decision.
C．The UK is bound to follow Denmark’s example.	D．Climate talks will influence the future of Britain.

3. What’s the author’s attitude to Denmark’s decision to end all oil exploration?

A．Favorable.

B．Disapproving.

C．Skeptical.

D．Unclear.

4. What’s the suitable title for the text?

A．Oil and Gas Exploration Benefits Denmark	B．Denmark’s New Decision Surprises the World
C．Denmark Produces Oil and Gas in Europe Most	D．Denmark Will End New Exploration in North Sea
