gre argument 163题目：
The following is taken from the editorial section of the local newspaper in Rockingham.
"In order to save a considerable amount of money(1), Rockingham's century-old town hall should be torn down(2,3) and replaced by the larger and more energy-efficient building that some citizens have proposed. The old town hall is too small to comfortably accommodate the number of people who are employed by the town. In addition, it is very costly to heat the old hall in winter and cool it in summer(4). The new, larger building would be more energy efficient, costing less per square foot to heat and cool than the old hall(5). Furthermore, it would be possible to rent out some of the space in the new building(7), thereby generating income for the town of Rockingham(6)."
提纲：
(1)The author fails to consider the cost of constructing the new building, thus the assumption that the construction will save a considerable amount of money is open to question.
(2)The author fails to consider the negative effects of tearing down the old town hall.
(3)Granted that a new hall is necessary, the necessity of tearing down the old one is unwarranted.
(4)Other possible measures could also be taken to solve the problems with the old town hall.
(5)The author fails to justify the assumption that the energy problems will automatically be solved once the new building is constructed.
(6)The author fails to investigate if there are any individuals and institutions who are willing to rent the space in the new hall, and how much rent could we receive.
(7)The author does not take into account the negative effects of renting out some of the space in the new hall.
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。
