瞳色九月

为什么第9题不能选B啊？？？

前人没有解释，后人有没有谁可以说下呢。

理由和handsong一样~

因为照OG思路的话，通常一段文字最后层的建议经常是文中的目的所在。

个人也认为C是为B提供理论依据~

天山9－Q9—Q12

Ecoefficiency (measures

to minimize environmental

impact through the reduction

Line               or elimination of waste from

(5)                 production processes) has

become a goal for companies

worldwide, with many realizing

significant cost savings from

such innovations. Peter Senge

(10)               and Goran Carstedt see this

development as laudable but

suggest that simply adopting

ecoefficiency innovations could

actually worsen environmental

(15)               stresses in the future. Such

innovations reduce production

waste but do not alter the num-

ber of products manufactured

nor the waste generated from

(20)               their use and discard; indeed,

most companies invest in eco-

efficiency improvements in

order to increase profits and

growth. Moreover, there is

(25)               no guarantee that increased

economic growth from eco-

efficiency will come in similarly

ecoefficient ways, since in

today’s global markets,

(30)               greater profits may be turned

into investment capital that

could easily be reinvested

in old-style eco-inefficient

industries. Even a vastly

(35)               more ecoefficient industrial

system could, were it to grow

much larger, generate more

total waste and destroy more

habitat and species than would

(40)               a smaller, less ecoefficient

economy. Senge and Carstedt

argue that to preserve the

global environment and sustain

economic growth, businesses

(45)               must develop a new systemic

approach that reduces total

material use and total accu-

mulated waste. Focusing

exclusively on ecoefficiency,

(50)               which offers a compelling

business case according

to established thinking, may

distract companies from

pursuing radically different

(55)               products and business

models.

T-9-Q9

The primary purpose of the passage is to

1. explain why a particular business strategy has been less successful than was once anticipated

2. propose an alternative to a particular business strategy that has inadvertently caused ecological damage

3. present a concern about the possible consequences of pursuing a particular business strategy

4. make a case for applying a particular business strategy on a larger scale than is currently practiced

5. suggest several possible outcomes of companies’ failure to understand the economic impact of a particular business strategy

T-9-Q12

The passage implies that which of the following is a possible consequence of a company’s adoption of innovations that increase its ecoefficiency?

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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 ecoinefficient industries.

5. A company that meets its ecoefficiency goals is unlikely to invest its increased profits in the development of new and innovative ecoefficiency measures.

这篇文章以前有过讨论，但还存有一些疑问，所以翻出来再讨论：1.请帮忙确认一下第9题的答案，我选A 2.第12题，以前讨论的结果是B，但仔细看了文中红字部分，并没有明确说ecoefficiency的使用可以manufacture a great number of products,只说not alter the number....这么看B是不是还值得商榷，而A则没有什么大问题，WangyuNN曾指出A中的further和原文的similar不同，但我认为恰恰是原文改写，原文说ecoefficiency带来的经济增长并未再度用在同样的ecoefficiency上（投资到非ecoefficiency上了），A的意思是ecoefficiency带来的经济增长并未进一步发展ecoefficiency，不也正是这个意思吗？

Open to discuss。。。

12题的B真的是正确答案吗？我觉得很有问题啊。

大家看一下我在B选项中标红色的部分，a greater number of products that will be used and discarded,这个选项的意思是工厂会生产更多“被扔掉的产品”。再看文中我标红色的部分，more ecoefficient industrial

system could, were it to grow

much larger, generate more

total waste and destroy more

habitat and species
        这个意思是“工厂再生产会产生很多废料，导致污染环境”。这个waste不是指生产出来的产品被扔掉。B应该是绝对错误的选项啊。

我说得对吗？麻烦哪位给看看

第9题我也选了B.

谁能解释一下B为什么不好啊！！

以前看GRE题好像有个规矩就是根据前面判断主要意思，后面的只是顺带提一下。

文章只是最后提了一下建议，是顺带的，所以不选B

有些文章类似前面说一个东西好，最后一段来个让步的那种也是这样，最后的让步不影响文章的正态度。

hlp1222

我也选的B

最近这种主题题常错

我记得好像有篇阅读 后面也是提了建议 最后选项也选了那个题了建议的

这里就不明白了

第9题，看到B选项后，觉得挺好，就没再往下读。可是重新读了C项后，发现C更好。

第二句是文章的中心句，可以看出接下来的三句例证，都是围绕TS展开的。而结尾处，也就是B选项讲的alternative, 只是学者针对不利影响，作了下总结。

就像我们原来写作文时，结尾处总是要展望未来，说未来更美好，要努力学习等等。其实只是做为中心主题的锦上添花，而不能被认为是中心主题。
