gre argument 85题目:
The following appeared in the letter to an editor of a Myrian newspaper.
"Under Governor Winslow's leadership over the past four years, Myria has enjoyed unprecedented prosperity. Average wage increases this year are higher than they have been at any time since the 1970's(2), the number of people who report being unemployed has decreased by 10 percent(3,4), and construction of new homes is up by one third(1,5). In contrast, over the past four years Governor Winslow's opponent, Mr. Homer, has been mayor of a city in which only a small number of new businesses(5,7) have opened(6). If Myrians want another four years like the past four years(8), they should reelect Governor Winslow(9,10)."
提纲:
(1)The author fails to prove that the prosperity of Myria resulted from Winslow’s leadership.
(2)The author fails to inform us how much did average wage actually increase after adjustment for inflation.
(3)Other cities might enjoy higher rate of wage increase, and lower rate of unemployment.
(4)No evidence about the rate of wage increase, and decrease in unemployment rate before Winslow’s governing is provided.
(5)The author unfairly equates the construction of new homes and opening of new businesses with the prosperity of a city.
(6)The city under Mr. Homer’s leadership and Myria may not be comparable.
(7)The author fails to provide information about the size and profitability of new businesses opened at the city governed by Homer.
(8)The author unfairly assumes that Mr. Winslow will also perform excellent in the following years.
(9)Many other factors would influence the development of a city, thus another four years’ prosperity is not guaranteed.
(10)Other excellent candidates might also be available while ignored by the author.
