gre argument 25题目:
The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of Hopewell.
"Two years ago (1, 5), the town of Ocean View built a new municipal golf course and resort hotel. During the past two years, tourism in Ocean View has increased, new businesses have opened there, and Ocean View's tax revenues have risen by 30 percent (6). The best way(4) to improve Hopewell's economy, and generate additional tax revenues, is to build a golf course and resort hotel similar to those in Ocean View(2,3)."
提纲:
(1)The arguer fails to point out how the golf course and resort hotel actually contributed to the economy of Ocean View.
(1)Ocean View and Hopewell may not be comparable.
(2)The argument relies on an unwarranted assumption that Hopewell lacks golf course and resort hotel, or that the existing ones are not attractive enough.
(3)The arguer ignores other possible methods that may improve Hopewell’s economy more efficiently.
(4)The mayor assumes too hastily that the golf course and hotel will continue to benefit Hopewell's overall economy.
(5)The 30 percent increase in tax revenues of Ocean View does not indicate that its economic condition is better than Hopewell’s, because we do not know the base amount of tax revenues to begin with.
