gre argument 66题目：
The following appeared in a letter from a firm providing investment advice to a client.
"Homes in the northeastern United States, where winters are typically cold, have traditionally used oil as their major fuel for heating. Last year that region experienced 90 days with below-average temperatures, and climate forecasters at Waymarsh University(1) predict that this weather pattern will continue for several more years. Furthermore, many new homes have been built in this region during the past year(2,4). Because of these developments, we predict an increased demand for heating oil(3) and recommend investment in Consolidated Industries(5), one of whose major business operations is the retail sale of home heating oil."
提纲：
(1)The accuracy of Waymarsh University’s prediction is open to doubt.
(2)The author does not provide any information about the actual amount of heating oil used due to the cold weather last year, thus we cannot evaluate the argument.
(3)Other new heating fuel may be available currently.
(4)No evidence could guarantee that new homes in this region will continue to use heating oil as fuel for heating.
(5)Granted that the demand for heating oil will increase, we cannot guarantee that investing in Consolidated Industries will be profitable.
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。
