GWD-9-Q9 to GWD-9-Q11:

Among the myths taken as

fact by the environmental managers

of most corporations is the

Line belief that environmental regula-

(5) tions affect all competitors in

a given industry uniformly. In

reality, regulatory costs—and

therefore compliance—fall

unevenly, economically disad-

(10) vantaging some companies and

benefiting others. For example,

a plant situated near a number

of larger noncompliant competitors

is less likely to attract the

(15) attention of local regulators than

is an isolated plant, and less

attention means lower costs.

Additionally, large plants can

spread compliance costs such

(20) as waste treatment across a

larger revenue base; on the other

hand, some smaller plants may

not even be subject to certain

provisions such as permit or

(25) reporting requirements by virtue

of their size. Finally, older production

technologies often

continue to generate toxic wastes

that were not regulated when the

(30 ) technology was first adopted.

New regulations have imposed

extensive compliance costs on

companies still using older

industrial coal-fired burners that

(35) generate high sulfur dioxide and

nitrogen oxide outputs, for

example, whereas new facilities

generally avoid processes that

would create such waste pro-

(40) ducts. By realizing that they

have discretion and that not all

industries are affected equally

by environmental regulation,

environmental managers can

(45) help their companies to achieve

a competitive edge by anticipating

regulatory pressure and

exploring all possibilities for

addressing how changing regula-

(50) tions will affect their companies

specifically.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD-9-Q9:

Which of the following hypothetical examples would best illustrate the
point the author makes in lines 40-51 (“By realizing … specifically.”)?

A. Believing its closest competitor is about to do the same, a plant
reduces its output of a toxic chemical at great cost in order to comply
with environmental regulations.

B. In the face of new environmental regulations, a plant maintains its
production methods and passes the costs of compliance on to its
customers.

C. A plant’s manager learns of a competitor’s methods of lowering
environmental compliance costs but is reluctant to implement those
methods.

D. Having learned of an upcoming environmental ban on a certain
chemical, a company designs its new plant to employ processes that
avoid use of that chemical.

E. A plant attempts to save money by refusing to comply with environmental laws.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD-9-Q10:

According to the passage, which of the following statements about sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide outputs is true?

A. Older production technologies cannot be adapted so as to reduce production of these outputs as waste products.

B. Under the most recent environmental regulations, industrial plants are no longer permitted to produce these outputs.

C. Although these outputs are environmentally hazardous, some plants
still generate them as waste products despite the high compliance costs
they impose.

D. Many older plants have developed innovative technological processes
that reduce the amounts of these outputs generated as waste products.

E. Since the production processes that generate these outputs are less
costly than alternative processes, these less expensive processes are
sometimes adopted

despite their acknowledged environmental hazards.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD-9-Q11:

The passage suggests which of the following concerning the relationship
between the location of a plant and the compliance costs it faces?

A. A plant is less likely to face high compliance costs if it is
located near larger plants that are in violation of environmental
regulations.

B. An isolated plant is less likely to draw the attention of environmental regulators, resulting in lower compliance costs.

C. A large plant that is located near other large facilities will most probably be forced to pay high compliance costs.

D. A small plant that is located near a number of larger plants will be
forced to absorb some of its neighbors’ compliance costs.

E. A plant will often escape high compliance costs if it is located far away from environmental regulatory agencies.

我的答案是DBB，从网上下的流沙xd的是DAA，携隐mm的是DCA，到底答案是多少，后天就要考了，请朋友们帮忙！

贴了几次，怎么贴成这个样子了，如果斑竹有空，帮下忙吧，谢谢！

我想最标准的答案是没有的，标准答案应该必须依靠自己的认真分析把。
我觉得答案是DCA。

请问第9题为什么不能选C？？

GWD-9-Q9:

Which of the following hypothetical examples would best illustrate the point the author makes in lines 40-51 (“By realizing … specifically.”)?
类比题，要求找出和文中概括性的论述相类比的例子。首先从题目中提炼一下关键的环节。大致有以下几点，描述其条件，目的和手段，主要是说企业可以预先应变。By realizing that they have discretion and that not all industries are affected equally by environmental regulation, environmental managers can help their companies to achieve a competitive edge by anticipating regulatory pressure and exploring all possibilities for addressing how changing regulations will affect their companies specifically.

A. Believing its closest competitor is about to do the same, a plant reduces its output of a toxic chemical at great cost in order to comply with environmental regulations. 无关

B. In the face of new environmental regulations, a plant maintains its production methods and passes the costs of compliance on to its customers. 无关

C. A plant’s manager learns of a competitor’s methods of lowering environmental compliance costs but is reluctant to implement those methods. 反或无关，已知降低成本的方法但不采用，会使企业在竞争中落后。同时，此选项也未体现预先考虑环境规定的因素。

D. Having learned of an upcoming environmental ban on a certain chemical, a company designs its new plant to employ processes that avoid use of that chemical. 主动回避，预先应变，避免损失，可赢得竞争优势。

E. A plant attempts to save money by refusing to comply with environmental laws. 无关。

已知竞争对手的方法却不采用，说明要根据自己企业的特点来制定更符合企业本身的方法，正好与文中realizing that they have discretion and that not all industries are affected equally by environmental regulation以及addressing how changing regulations will affect their companies specifically相呼应，D没有提到企业的特殊性

请问我这样考虑为什么不对？？

D. Having learned of an upcoming environmental ban on a certain chemical, a company designs its new plant to employ processes that avoid use of that chemical. 主动回避，预先应变，避免损失，可赢得竞争优势。

E. A plant attempts to save money by refusing to comply with environmental laws. 无关。

谢谢wangyuGG了

顶

各位帮忙

msrs · 发表于 2005-9-2 00:22:00

我认为应该选D，

C中没有表明environmental managers 如何迫使公司改变自己的compliance

D中的having learned表明该公司已经得到了教训。暗指这个教训时来之与environmental managers ，在教训之后不得不改变

嗯，谢谢你，我明白了，C是我自己演绎的太多了

个人认为应该选A，虽然众多资料都以“无关”排除。

此文通篇的主体是讲环境法规对不同的企业在不同的环境作用是不一样的。选项D并没有提及这点。而A举了个例子说明，根据不同情况和变化进行区别对待的策略。

A.Believing its closest competitor is about to do the same, a plant reduces its output of a toxic chemical at great cost in order to comply with environmental regulations.
D. Having learned of an upcoming environmental ban on a certain chemical, a company designs its new plant to employ processes that avoid use of that chemical.
