　　主旨，顾名思义就是指文章的中心思想，主旨题主要就是对文章主旨的考察，有时考生可以从文章找出明确的主旨句，有时则需要考生通过概括总结出文章的主要思想。但不管是哪种情况，考生一定要善于把握文章的重点，学会从整篇文章的组织和铺陈去推定中心思想。主旨题可能要求考生识别有关文章主题的一个正确陈述或者解释，也可能要求你鉴别作者写这篇文章的主要意图或者目的，还可能要求你给文章冠一个简明扼要地概括了文章所演绎内容的中心思想的标题。接下来小编将结合OG12中的一篇文章为大家详细介绍一下主旨题的正确解法：

　　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.

　　结论说明型(说明观点：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.)

　　2. 理清文章脉络

　　1)文章首先提出环境效率的概念：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.

　　2)Peter Senge和Goran Carstedt提出了一些看法：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.

　　3)详细说明看法的原因

　　4)Peter Senge和Goran Carstedt提出了建议：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.

　　3. 问题解答：

　　The primary purpose of the passage is to

　　(A) Explain why a particular business strategy has been less successful than was once anticipated

　　(B) Propose an alternative to a particular business strategy that has inadvertently caused ecological damage

　　(C) Present a concern about the possible consequences of pursuing a particular business strategy

　　(D) Make a case for applying a particular business strategy on a larger scale than is currently practiced

　　(E) Suggest several possible outcomes of companies’ failure to understand the economic impact of a particular business strategy

　　考点分析：“primary purpose”很显然是问文章的主要目的，考生在思考时一定要把握文章全局，不要拘泥于某一段或某一个细节，文章虽然前半部分一直在讨论环境效率，但后面大部分是在说如果把环境效率作为公司的竞争目标会带来哪些后果，因此，考生要准确把握重点才能顺利找出答案。

　　选项说明：

　　(A) 文章并没有解释环境效率是否成功，仅仅只是探讨其后果。

　　(B) 文章26-28行告诉了Senge和Carstedt相信新的系统性的方法可以找到，但是没有具体的给出来。

　　(C) 正确。确定了环境效率后，文章说明了Senge和Carstedt关于将环境效率作为公司目标的担忧。

　　(D) 文章说明了关于策略的特别担忧，但是没有推崇采纳这个策略。

　　(E) 文章担心的是环境影响，不是经济影响。
