gre argument 222题目:
The following article appeared in a recent issue of a college newspaper.
"Among all students who graduated from Hooper University over the past five years, more(1) physical science majors than social science majors found permanent jobs within a year of graduation(2). In a survey of recent Hooper University graduates(3), most physical science majors said they believed that the prestige of Hooper University's physical science programs helped them significantly in finding a job. In contrast, social science majors who found permanent employment attributed their success to their own personal initiative(4). Therefore, to ensure that social science majors find permanent jobs(5), Hooper University should offer additional social science courses and hire several new faculty members who already have national reputations in the social sciences."
提纲:
(1)We cannot evaluate the employment result because we do not know the base amount of students of these two majors.
(2)Without detailed conditions of the jobs found by students, e.g. the pay, working condition, their positions, etc., and the number of students who found permanent jobs after one year, we cannot conclude that the job-placement record of social science majors is comparatively poor.
(3)The author unfairly assumes that the graduates’ opinions could exactly reflect the university’s actual need.
(4)The author ignores many other factors that would contribute to the comparatively poor job-placement record of social science majors.
(5)The author’s proposal may be neither sufficient nor necessary for improving job-placement record of social science majors.
