难易程度：★★
题目题材：工程建设
GRE argument 93题目：
The following appeared in a memo from a vice president of a large, highly diversified company.
"Ten years ago(4) our company had two new regional office buildings built in two different regions. The buildings were erected by two different construction companies—Alpha and Zeta. Even though the two buildings had virtually identical floor plans, the building constructed by Zeta cost 30 percent more to build, and its expenses for maintenance last year were twice those of the building constructed by Alpha. Furthermore, the energy consumption of the Zeta building has been higher(2) than that of the Alpha building every year since its construction(1). Such data, plus the fact that Alpha has a stable workforce with little employee turnover(3), indicate that we should use Alpha Construction Company, rather than Zeta(6), for all(5) future building projects."
提纲：
(1)The vice president fails to consider many other differences between the two regions and the two buildings.
(2)The high expenses for maintenance of the Zeta building last year might be an unusual case, and do not necessarily continue in the future.
(3)A stable workforce with little employee turnover tells nothing about the construction quality of a construction company.
(4)The vice president unfairly assumes that the working quality of Alpha is still superior to that of Zeta today as decades ago.
(5)The facts cited by the vice president do not necessarily indicate that Alpha has advantages over Zeta in constructing all kinds of buildings.
(6)The vice president fails to consider other competent construction companies besides Alpha and Zeta.
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。
