gre argument42题目:
The following appeared in a proposal from the economic minister of the country of Paraterra.
"In order to strengthen its lagging economy, last year the government of the nearby country of Bellegea began an advertising campaign to promote ecologically sound tourism (ecotourism). This year the number of foreign visitors arriving at Bellegea's main airport doubled(2,3), and per capita income in Bellegea increased by ten percent(4). To provide more income for the population of Paraterra and also preserve the natural environment of our tiny country(5), we too should begin to promote ecotourism(1,8). To ensure that our advertising campaign is successful, we should hire the current director of Bellegea's National Tourism Office(6) as a consultant for the campaign.(7)"
提纲:
(1)Bellegea and Paraterra might not be comparable in tourist resources, environment, etc.
(2)No evidence could indicate that it is the promotion of ecotourism that lead to the increased number of visitors at Bellegea.
(3)We do not know what fraction of visitors arriving at Bellegea came here for tourism.
(4)Other factors could also account for the increase in per capita income in Bellegea.
(5)The minister does not provide any information about details of ecotourism, thus the assumption that the natural environment of Paraterra will be preserved is not ensured.
(6)The success of ecotourism in Bellegea, if any, may have no causal relationship with the director’s effort.
(7)Hiring the current director of Bellegea’s National Tourism Office as a consultant may not be the best solution to ensure our success.
(8)The minister fails to consider the possible cost of carrying out ecotourism.
