gre argument 141题目:
The following appeared in a newsletter distributed at a recent political rally.
"Over the past year, the Consolidated Copper Company (CCC) has purchased over one million square miles of land(4,5) in the tropical nation of West Fredonia. Mining copper on this land will inevitably result in pollution and environmental disaster(3,8), since West Fredonia is home to several endangered animal species. But such disaster can be prevented if consumers simply refuse to purchase(2) products that are made with CCC's copper(1) until the company abandons its mining plans(6,7)."
提纲:
(1)The author fails to demonstrate the critical assumption that most consumers can reliably distinguish products that are made with CCC’s copper.
(2)The author fails to consider if most consumers are willing to cooperate in the boycott.
(3)CCC’s mining activities do not necessarily lead to pollution and environmental disaster.
(4)We do not know what portion of CCC’s land is inhabited by endangered animals.
(5)We do not know what fraction of the one hundred square miles of land will be used for CCC’s mining activities.
(6)The author ignores the possibility that other measures could also be taken to prevent the harmful result.
(7)The author hastily assumes that the proposed boycott will sufficiently prevent pollution and environmental disaster.
(8)The definition of the term disaster is very vague, thus we cannot evaluate if the disastrous results will necessarily emerge.
注:题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
