GMAT Argument 103重新选题
写作题目
收起The following was excerpted from an article in a farming trade publication:
“Farmers who switched from synthetic to organic farming last year have seen their crop yields decline. Many of these farmers feel that it would be too expensive to resume synthetic farming at this point, given the money that they invested in organic farming supplies and equipment. But their investments will be relatively minor compared to the losses from continued lower crop yields. Organic farmers should switch to synthetic farming rather than persist in an
unwise course. And the choice to farm organically is financially unwise, given that it was motivated by environmental rather than economic concerns.”
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.

去年转向绿色农业的农民发现他们的农作物产量变低了。他们中的许多农民觉得他们已经为绿色农业供给品和设备投入了资金,现在再恢复合成农业太昂贵了。但是他们对绿色农业设备的投资比之从连续的减产中受到的损失只是一笔小钱。绿色农业农民应该转向合成农业而不是坚持错误方针。选择绿色农业的理由从经济上讲是不明智的,它是由环保而非经济利益所激发的。
