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
line 9: Such innovations reduce production waste but do not alter the number of 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......
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.

【原文】这些革新减少了生产消耗，但不减少产量，也不减少产品在使用时产生的垃圾；其实，多数公司投资生态效能是为了增加利润。而且，不能保证，生态效能带来的经济增长会改善生态环境，因为很多利润被投资到老旧的，不生态的企业。即使是生态企业，发展扩大后，也会比小的、不生态的企业产生更多的垃圾，更破坏生态环境。 【问题】采用生态革新的后果？ 【选项】A. 不能保证，公司将生态革新带来的利润用于进一步提高生态效能。 ●文中没有讲进一步提高生态效能，只是说很多利润被投资到老旧企业。will come in similarly ecoefficient ways 不等于 further improvements in ecoefficiency，意为：能够同样以生态效能的方式到来，即改善生态环境。
