GMAT Argument 145重新选题
写作题目
收起The following appeared as part of an article in a trade magazine:
“During a recent trial period in which government inspections at selected meat-processing plants were more frequent, the amount of bacteria in samples of processed chicken decreased by 50 percent on average from the previous year’s level. If the government were to institute more frequent inspections, the incidence of stomach and intestinal infections throughout the country could thus be cut in half. In the meantime, consumers of Excel Meats should be safe from infection because Excel’s main processing plant has shown more improvement in eliminating bacterial contamination
than any other plant cited in the government report.”
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.

最近的试用期内,政府增加了检测被选肉处理设备的频率,处理过的鸡肉样本内的细菌数量比前一年的水平下降了50%。如果政府早就开始更频繁的检测,国内的肠胃感染范围应该可以缩减一半。同时,Excel Meat的消费者应该不会被感染了,因为政府报告显示,Excel的主要处理设备在灭菌方面的提高比其他任何设备都多。
