| Line | Ecoefficiency (measures to minimize environmental |
| impact through the reduction or elimination of waste | |
| from production processes) has become a goal for | |
| companies worldwide, with many realizing significant | |
| (5) | cost savings from such innovations. Peter Senge and |
| Goran Carstedt see this development as laudable | |
| but suggest that simply adopting ecoefficiency | |
| innovations could actually worsen environmental | |
| stresses in the future. Such innovations reduce | |
| (10) | production waste but do not alter the number of |
| products manufactured nor the waste generated | |
| from their use and discard; indeed, most companies | |
| invest in ecoefficiency improvements in order to | |
| increase profits and growth. Moreover, there is no | |
| (15) | guarantee that increased economic growth from |
| ecoefficiency will come in similarly ecoefficient | |
| ways, since in today’s global markets, greater profits | |
| may be turned into investment capital that could easily | |
| be reinvested in old-style eco-inefficient industries. | |
| (20) | Even a vastly more ecoefficient industrial system |
| could, were it to grow much larger, generate more | |
| total waste and destroy more habitat and species | |
| than would a smaller, less ecoefficient economy. | |
| Senge and Carstedt argue that to preserve the global | |
| (25) | environment and sustain economic growth, |
| businesses must develop a new systemic approach | |
| that reduces total material use and total accumulated | |
| waste. Focusing exclusively on ecoefficiency, which | |
| offers a compelling business case according to | |
| (30) | established thinking, may distract companies from |
| pursuing radically different products and business | |
| models. |
题目：
The passage implies that which of the following is a possible consequence of a company’s adoption of innovations that increase its ecoefficiency?
选项:
A、Company profits resulting from such innovations may be reinvested in that company with no guarantee that the company will continue to make further improvements in ecoefficiency.
B、Company growth fostered by cost savings from such innovations may allow that company to manufacture a greater number of products that will be used and discarded, thus worsening environmental stress.
C、A company that fails to realize significant cost savings from such innovations may have little incentive to continue to minimize the environmental impact of its production processes.
D、A company that comes to depend on such innovations to increase its profits and growth may be vulnerable in the global market to competition from old-style eco-inefficient industries.
E、A company that meets its ecoefficiency goals is unlikely to invest its increased profits in the development of new and innovative ecoefficiency measures.
答案:
B
提问：
老师，这道题我觉得A、B、E都很难排除，A和E说法比较类似，都是说企业在获得盈利之后就有可能抛弃ecoefficiency，我觉得原文确实是有这个意思的，为什么排除呢？麻烦老师解答~ （there is no guarantee that increased economic growth from ecoefficiency will come in similarly ecoefficient ways, since in today’s global markets, greater profits may be turned into investment capital that could easily be reinvested in old-style eco-inefficient industries.这句话感觉和AE都满贴近的）

提问：
这题是imply,有可能读原文找不到答案，所以先根据比较选项和跳读到的内容，我只排除了C、E。但再定位到哪里找答案时，精读了L10-L19感觉A、B都对，很耗时的选了B。请问老师有什么好思路？
