gre argument 152题目：
The following is a letter to the head of the tourism bureau on the island of Tria.
"Erosion of beach sand along the shores of Tria Island is a serious threat to our island and our tourist industry. In order to stop the erosion(1), we should charge people for using the beaches(2,3,5). Although this solution may annoy a few tourists in the short term, it will reduce the number of people using the beaches and will raise money for replenishing the sand(4). Replenishing the sand, as was done to protect buildings on the nearby island of Batia(7), will help protect buildings along our shores(6), thereby reducing these buildings' risk of additional damage from severe storms(8). And since the areas along the shore will be more attractive as a result(9), the beaches will be preserved and the area's tourist industry will improve over the long term(10)."
提纲：
(1)The author fails to illustrate the extent of erosion in Tria, thus we cannot evaluate if any measures are necessary to resolve the problem.
(2)The author ignores other possible methods to stop the erosion.
(3)The author fails to illustrate that charging people for using the beach could effectively stop the erosion.
(4)The author fails to analyze how much money should we charge to raise enough money for replenishing the sand, and if the charge is feasible.
(5)The author ignores some negative effects of the charging policy.
(6)The author fails to demonstrate if the buildings alone our shores need to be protected.
(7)The fact that replenishing beach sand has served to protect shoreline buildings on nearby Batia does not indicate that Tria would also achieve its goals by following Batia's example.
(8)The author unfairly assumes that replenishing sand would suffice to reduce the building’s risk of damage from severe storms.
(9)The assumption that the proposed actions will necessarily make the seashore more attractive is open to doubt.
(10)Adopting the actions proposed by the author might not sufficiently improve Tria’s tourist in the long term.
