Q9 to Q12:

Ecoefficiency (measures

to minimize environmental
impact through the reduction
Lineor 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.
Q10:
According to the passage, an exclusive pursuit of eco-efficiency may cause companies to

1. neglect the development of alternative business models and products
   
2. keep the number of products that they manufacture unchanged
   
3. invest capital from increased profits primarily in inefficient and outmoded industries that may prove unprofitable
   
4. overemphasize the production process as the key to increasing profits and growth
   
5. focus more on reducing costs than on reducing the environmental impact of production processes
   
   答案是A，可是我想不明白啊，文章是没有说到这个事情吧。
