Among the myths taken as fact by the environmental managers of most corporations is the belief that environmental regulations affect all competitors in a given industry uniformly. In reality, regulatory costs - and therefore compliance - fall unevenly, economically disadvantaging some companies and benefiting others. For example, a plant situated near a number of larger noncompliant competitors is less likely to attract the attention of local regulators than is an isolated plant, and less attention means lower costs.

Additionally, large plants can spread compliance costs such 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 reporting requirements by virtue of their size. Finally, older production technologies often continue to generate toxic wastes that were not regulated when the technology was first adopted. New regulations have imposed extensive compliance costs on companies still using older industrial coal-fired burners that generate high sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide outputs, for example, whereas new facilities generally avoid processes that would create such waste products. 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.

【OG20-P436-547题】

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. 分析A选项
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

B

under the most recent environmental regulations, industrial plants are no longer permitted to produce these outputs. 分析B选项
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

C

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

D

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

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. 分析E选项
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

大企业可以在收入的基础上分散成本，小企业因为体量小根本不用上报—> Finally, 继续使用旧技术 —> “for example” 说明这句话是对 “finally …….”的举例说明，老技术还是在继续使用中。

plants有工厂的意思定位：Finally, older production technologies often continue to generate toxic wastes that were not regulated when the technology was first adopted.即使有新的监管规定，还是会继续使用旧设备。然后我是眼瞎了才选的A：older production technologies cannot be adapted这是跟定位的那句意思相反啊要看懂C选项的潜台词：although these outputs are environmentally hazardous, some plants still generate them as waste products despite the high compliance costs they impose.就尽管这些sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide outputs 对环境有害，尽管有新规定，但是工厂还是会用旧设备，而这些旧设备就是产生这些outputs的罪魁祸首

定位：Finally, older production technologies often continue to generate toxic wastes that were not regulated when the technology was first adopted. New regulations have imposed extensive compliance costs on companies still using older industrial coal-fired burners that generate high sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide outputs, for example, whereas new facilities generally avoid processes that would create such waste products. 大概意思是当一个旧技术在一开始被采纳而却没有被监管的时候，这个企业就会继续使用这项旧技术，而对于新的监管规定，企业只是采取使用不产生废气的新设备的措施而已，潜台词是并不会停止使用原来的旧设备

New regulations-extensive compliance costs-companies still using older industrial coal--sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide environmental managers--competitive edge-anticipating regulatory pressure & exploring all possibilities 公司的环境管理者是很重要的，他们需要研究最新环境规定，让公司最小化罚款，最大化盈利。所以那些老工厂是不会花大价钱去换新机器的，只会想办法避开环境监管

探索一切可能性的意思就是说要钻compliance unevenly 的空子，继续用旧的technology？我晕，太绕了吧

文章讲的是为什么 compliances actually are unevenly。—因为有的工厂还在用旧的 technology，which produce dioxide and nitrogen

Finally, older production technologies often continue to generate toxic wastes that were not regulated when the technology was first adopted. 当新技术第一次被应用时，旧企业依然在生产。该句话对应B 后面又说有高昂的compliance costs,但是通过预测监管压力和探索一切可能性，他们可以帮助企业实现竞争优势. 说明还是会采用老技术

错，是那些旧生产技术在第一次被采用的时候就不合规，但仍然在继续产生有害污染
