GMAT Argument 87重新选题
写作题目
收起The following appeared in the editorial section of a newspaper in the country of West Cambria:
“The practice of officially changing speed limits on the highways—whether by increasing or decreasing them—is a dangerous one. Consider what happened over the past decade whenever neighboring East Cambria changed its speed limits: an average of 3 percent more automobile accidents occurred during the week following the change than had occurred during the week preceding it—even when the speed limit was lowered. This statistic shows that the change in speed limit adversely affected the alertness of drivers.”
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.

正式改变高速路限速的行为,不论是提速还是降速,都是非常危险的。看看邻国East Cambria10年来每次改变限速时发生的事情:改变限速后的一周内的交通事故比之前的一周内多出3%,那怕限速被降低也是一样的。这个统计说明改变限速干扰了司机的警戒性。
