GRE官方题库原题135

The following is a letter to the editor of the Waymarsh Times.

"Traffic here in Waymarsh is becoming a problem. Although just three years ago a state traffic survey showed that the typical driving commuter took 20 minutes to get to work, the commute now takes closer to 40 minutes, according to the survey just completed. Members of the town council already have suggested more road building to address the problem, but as well as being expensive, the new construction will surely disrupt some of our residential neighborhoods. It would be better to follow the example of the nearby city of Garville. Last year Garville implemented a policy that rewards people who share rides to work, giving them coupons for free gas. Pollution levels in Garville have dropped since the policy was implemented, and people from Garville tell me that commuting times have fallen considerably. There is no reason why a policy like Garville's shouldn't work equally well in Waymarsh."

Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

题目翻译

W的交通已经成为一个大问题。尽管3年前一个全国的交通调查显示开车上班族需20分钟，而最近调查显示现在却要40分钟。市议会已经建议修筑更多的公路来解决这一问题，但这需要很多钱，同时工程也给本地百姓带了一些不便。我们应该效仿临近的G市，去年G市实施一项政策鼓励人们合伙搭车，并给他们免费的加油卷。政策实施后，G的污染减轻了，一些G的人们告诉我在路上的时间明显的快了很多。因此，我们W采用相同的政策也一定会达到相同的效果。

题目分析

1. 调查的结论不一定可信。因为第一，调查的样本选择数量和范围都不清楚，因此很可能样本不具备代表性;第二，州的调查不一定能代表当地的情况，所以调查的结论未必有代表性，不能反映镇上的真实交通状况。

2. 即使道路确实拥堵了，扰民不是否决建造道路的原因。因为可能有一些解决方案来减少扰民的损失，比如发放经济补助，或是通过新技术减少噪音和尘土的污染等。所以我们不能断定扰民是建造道路的障碍。

3. G地区污染的下降和交通的顺畅未必和新政策有关。可能有其他因素导致了这两个变化，比如某家化工企业的迁离，或是新道路的建造完毕等等。作者需要提出更多的证据来说明这个因果关系。

4. 即使修路不行，即使G地区的成功确实是因为新政策，这个政策在W地区也未必能够成功。因为两地的通勤者人数、交通工具、道路状况等都有所不同，因此可能W地的通勤者骑自行车非常不方便，或很危险，所以这项措施在W地可能并不能发挥效用。
