问题 Managers who think that strong environmental performance will(i)______ their company’s financial performance often(ii)______claims that systems designed to help them manage environmental concerns are valuable tools. By contrast, managers who perceive environmental performance to be(iii)______ to financial success may view an environmental management system as extraneous. In either situation, and whatever their perceptions, it is a managers commitment to achieving environmental improvement rather than the mere presence of a system that determines environmental performance.

E、 
答案 B
解析 The first two sentences introduce two contrasting sets of managers. The managers identified in the second sentence view systems designed to help manage environmental concerns as "extraneous," suggesting that they would view environmental performance to be "peripheral"(Choice I)to financial performance. The other options for Blank(iii)— "complementary" and "intrinsic"—are not consistent with the idea that environmental management systems are extraneous. With Blank(iii)filled in, we can go back to Blanks(i)and(ii)with greater confidence: "bolster" works best in Blank(i), since the two sets of managers have contrasting views. Blank(ii)is not straightforward— clearly these managers would not "hotly dispute" this claim, but "appropriately acknowledge" is less easily ruled out. "Uncritically accept" makes sense and is confirmed when we look at the final sentence in which the author warns that, in either situation, "the mere presence of a system" is not enough to achieve environmental improvement. In fact, a system is not even necessary. Thus the author of the paragraph does not regard the systems as particularly valuable, ruling out "appropriately acknowledge."
