gre argument 192题目:
The following is a letter to the editor of the Roseville Gazette.
"Despite opposition from some residents of West Roseville(1), the arguments in favor of merging the townships of Roseville and West Roseville(2) are overwhelming. First, residents in both townships are confused about which authority to contact when they need a service; for example, the police department in Roseville receives many calls from residents of West Roseville. This sort of confusion would be eliminated with the merger(3). Second, the savings in administrative costs would be enormous(4), since services would no longer be duplicated: we would have only one fire chief, one tax department, one mayor, and so on. And no jobs in city government would be lost—employees could simply be reassigned(5). Most importantly, the merger will undoubtedly attract business investments as it did when the townships of Hamden and North Hamden merged(6,7) ten years ago."
提纲:
(1)The author provides no evidence to show why we should ignore the opposition from the residents of West Roseville.
(2)The author ignores many negative effects of merging the two townships.
(3)The problem of residents’ confusion could be solved in other ways.
(4)The proposed merger may not necessarily ensure savings in administrative costs and higher efficiency.
(5)The author’s claim that there will be no duplicative jobs would be contradictory to the author’s assumption that no jobs in city government will be lost.
(6)The author fails to convince us that merging of townships of Hamden and North Hamden actually contributed to the prosperity of business and economy in those regions.
(7)Without evidence that the newly merged Roseville would be similar to Hamden in every aspect, we cannot guarantee that a merger will carry the same result for Roseville as for Hamden.
