OG13中RC第7题求高手解答

即OG13中第二篇阅读第三题。
原文如下：
Ecoefficiency (measures to minimize environmental
impact through the reduction or elimination of waste
from production processes) has become a goal for
companies worldwide, with many realizing significant
cost savings from such innovations. Peter Senge and
Goran Carstedt see this development as laudable but
suggest that simply adopting ecoefficiency
innovations could actually worsen environmental
stresses in the future. 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 ecoefficiency improvements in order to
increase profits and growth. Moreover, there is no
guarantee that increased economic growth from
ecoefficiency will come in similarly ecoefficient ways,
since in today's global markets, greater profits may
be turned into investment capital that could easily be
reinvested in old-style eco-inefficient industries. Even
a vastly more ecoefficient industrial system could,
were it to grow much larger, generate more total
waste and destroy more habitat and species than
would a smaller, less ecoefficient economy. Senge
and Carstedt argue that to preserve the global
environment and sustain economic growth,
businesses must develop a new systemic approach
that reduces total material use and total accumulated
waste. Focusing exclusively on ecoefficiency, which
offers a compelling business case according to
established thinking, may distract companies from
pursuing radically different products and business
models.
题目如下：
The passage implies that which of the following is a
possible consequence of a company's adoption of
innovations that increase its ecoefficiency?
(A) Company profits resulting from such innovations
may be reinvested inthat company with no
guarantee that the company will continue to
make further improvements in ecoefficiency.
(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 significant 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 profits and growth
may be vulnerable in the global market to
competition from old-style eco-inefficient
industries.
(E) A company that meets its ecoefficiency goals is
unlikely to invest its increased profits in the
development of new and innovative ecoefficiency
measures.
其中C、D、E可以很容易排出，但是A选项感觉文中也提到过，不知道是用什么原因排出的，而且OG后面的解释不太能理解，请高手帮助一下。

求LZ解答 E选项怎么很容易排出的。 A company that meets its ecoefficiency goals is unlikely to invest its increased profits in the development of new and innovative ecoefficiency measures感觉和文中there is no
guarantee that increased economic growth from ecoefficiency will come in similarly ecoefficient ways很相似啊

我好想突然明白了什么，原文：Moreover, there is no
guarantee that increased economic growth from
ecoefficiency will come in similarly ecoefficient ways,
since in today's global markets, greater profits may
be turned into investment capital that could easily be
reinvested in old-style eco-inefficient industries. 这句话是A和E选项迷惑的根源。了解这句话到底什么态度、什么程度才能明白A和E与它的不同。

我觉得这段话no guarantee和may be都表现了“profits from ecoefficient”的去向都是不确定的。没保证它会继续投资在eco上，因为它有可能投资在in-eco行业上（但是也有可能不投资）

因此，A说 可能投资在不保证会继续eco的企业上。和原文：”不保证会投资在继续eco的企业“不一样。
E说 不太可能投资在eco的技术发展上。偏离了原文中立的态度。

E选项说的是达到eciefficiency的公司不太可能投资在节省能源的措施上，这个和原文的态度很明显不符。但总觉得A和原文实在只有一点点细微的差别。

你说的E  达到ecoefficiency的公司不太可能投资在节省能源措施的发展上。     这和原文什么地方不符？ 难道是“节能措施的发展”这几个词和come in similarly ecoefficient ways 不一样么？

嗯，原文是“Moreover,there is no guarantee that increased economic growth from ecoefficirncy will come in similarly ecoefficient ways……”，也就是说，题目E选项里面那些company that meets its ecoefficiency goals不保证它们还能投资在这些节省能源的东西上，这是一个很中立的表达。但是选项里面说的是不太可能投资在这些产业上，这个和原文的态度就很不一样了。

恩 E说的是不太可能，unlikely，原文是no guarantee。因此态度不同。

那么A也是一样的，A说可能会投资在不保证继续eco，原文说的是不保证会投资在继续eco。态度也有差别

想问下B选项中说innovation可以生产a greater number of products，但文中第10行写innovation do not alter the number of products，这样不是与原文冲突了吗？
