gre argument 48题目:
The following appeared in a newspaper article published in the country of Corpora.
"Twenty years ago, one half of all citizens in Corpora met the standards for adequate physical fitness as then defined by the national advisory board on physical fitness. Today, the board says that only one quarter of all citizens are adequately fit(1) and suggests that spending too much time using computers may be the reason. But since overall fitness levels are highest in regions of Corpora(2) where levels of computer ownership are also highest(3), it is clear that using computers has not made citizens less physically fit. Instead, as shown by this year's unusually low expenditures on fitness-related products and services(4), the recent decline in the economy is most likely the cause(5), and fitness levels will improve when the economy does(6)."
提纲:
(1)The standard for fitness may vary during past 20 years.
(2)Although the regions mentioned by the author have relatively highest fitness levels, it is still possible that their fitness levels are declining compared with themselves.
(3)High levels of computer ownership do not indicate that citizens of these regions will spend more time on using computers.
(4)The low expenditures on fitness-related products and services may not directly result in low level of fitness.
(5)The low expenditures on fitness-related products do not necessarily resulted from the decline in the economy.
(6)The author fails to convince us that once the economy improves, people will spend more money on fitness-related products and services, and their fitness levels will therefore be improved.
