原文： Such innovations reduce
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 ecoeffi ciency improvements in order to
increase profi ts and growth. Moreover, there is no
guarantee that increased economic growth from
ecoeffi ciency will come in similarly ecoeffi cient ways,
since in today’s global markets, greater profi ts may
be turned into investment capital that could easily be
reinvested in old-style eco-ineffi cient industries. Even
a vastly more ecoeffi cient industrial system could,
were it to grow much larger, generate more total
waste and destroy more habitat and species than
would a smaller, less ecoeffi cient economy.

3. The passage implies that which of the following is a
possible consequence of a company’s adoption of
innovations that increase its ecoeffi ciency?
(A) Company profi ts resulting from such innovations
may be reinvested in that company with no
guarantee that the company will continue to
make further improvements in ecoeffi ciency.
(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 signifi cant 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 profi ts and growth
may be vulnerable in the global market to
competition from old-style eco-ineffi cient
industries.
(E) A company that meets its ecoeffi ciency goals is
unlikely to invest its increased profi ts in the
development of new and innovative ecoeffi ciency
measures

答案选B，但是不明白A错哪里，B我认为就是对文章蓝字部分的改写，再问一下 infer 和support 到底有什么区别呢，我认为这题按正确答案解释也是supporting questions啊，做不明白，请大家帮忙一下啊

同问啊，看不懂那个解释

我觉得是作者更加强调的是从E获得的收益会投资到那些不E的项目上，对环境又造成影响。而不仅仅是投资到别处。后面对环境的影响应该是作者最担心的问题，所以我选B 没选A。个人理解···

我认为A选项本身的翻译为：从这种新观念获得的公司利润，公司可能不会继续投资于ecoefficiency的进一步发展。ETS给的解释重点强调的是文章没有讨论会不会投资于ecoefficiency.

line 9:

products manufactured nor the waste generated
from their use and discard

原文说不改变数量，怎么答案里说的是manufacture a greater number of products that will be used and discarded......

不懂了....
NN快出现@！！！！

请教一下，我觉得这个应该是在讲company的规模啊...不是产量吧....
但是如果理解为，公司大的产量大，然后会产生更多的waste，这样也可以说的通...

另外，请教一下，是不是LS贴出的这段话是直接跟着greater profits那段话，因此算是依据啊。
而我理解的那句话，跟先于greater profits的而且隔得有点远....所以就有点钻牛角尖了？
