GRE官方题库原题26
The following appeared in a letter from the owner of the Sunnyside Towers apartment complex to its manager.
"One month ago, all the showerheads in the first three buildings of the Sunnyside Towers complex were modified to restrict maximum water flow to one-third of what it used to be. Although actual readings of water usage before and after the adjustment are not yet available, the change will obviously result in a considerable savings for Sunnyside Corporation, since the corporation must pay for water each month. Except for a few complaints about low water pressure, no problems with showers have been reported since the adjustment. I predict that modifying showerheads to restrict water flow throughout all twelve buildings in the Sunnyside Towers complex will increase our profits even more dramatically."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the prediction and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the prediction.
题目翻译
一个月之前,Sunnyside塔楼最低的五层的所有淋浴喷头被调节成水压只有以前的大约三分之一。尽管在调节之后用水量的确切读数还没有出来,但这种变革显然将为Sunnyside公司节省大量的花费,因为公司必须每月为所用的水付费。除了关于低水压的几起投诉,在调节之后没有发生关于淋浴喷头的问题的报告。显然,在Sunnyside塔楼所有的20层都限制水压将会增加我们未来的利润。
题目分析
论断:对20层的S塔楼限制水流,能够进一步提高我们的利润。因为这样可以为公司节省很多钱。一个月前,下面五层楼的淋浴喷头被调整,限制了三分之一的水流量。虽然调整后具体的用水指数还不知道,这个变化显然会为公司节约大量的钱。除了一些关于水压的抱怨外,没有别的关于喷头的抱怨。
·前提,是否节水了。既然还不知道具体的指数就不排除用水量上升的可能。因为水流变小,用水时间就会加长。另外由于水压的冲洗作用没了,这种时间上的补偿很有可能会特别长。
·前提,没人抱怨。首先刚一个月就有了抱怨。其次楼层越高对水压要求越到。第三楼上的人可能特殊,他们用水特别多,特别喜欢大流量的洗澡。时间长必然引起楼主不高兴。 ·结论:利润,收入得靠卖房,有可能是租房,水费只是其中很小一部分成本。
提纲参考
1. 没有证据证明能够节省花费。水压小了用水量未必小。
2. 一个月不够长。没报告不说明没有问题。以后可能有更多的投诉。
3. 样本差异。即使前5层成功了,所有楼层未必都能成功。
