4月10日21:30更新!!! Argument: 124. The following appeared in a memorandum from the owner of Carlo’s Clothing to the staff. “Since Disc Depot, the music store on the next block, began a new radio advertising campaign last year, its business has grown dramatically, as evidenced by the large increase in foot traffic into the store. While the Disc Depot’s owners have apparently become wealthy enough to retire, profits at Carlo’s Clothing have remained stagnant for the past three years. In order to boost our sales and profits, we should therefore switch from newspaper advertising to frequent radio advertisements like those for Disc Depot.” Carlo's服饰老板给员工的备忘录: 由于Disc Depot,相邻街区的音像店从去年开始新的电台广告,它的业务显著增长,从商店人流量的大量增加就可以看出。当Disc Depot的老板显然已经足够富有可以退休时,Carlo's服饰的利润3年来一直停滞不变。为了促进我们的销售和利润,我们应该像DiscDepot一样从报纸广告转向经常的电台广告.
“Because occupancy rates for campus housing fell during the last academic year, so did housing revenues. To solve the problem, campus housing officials should reduce the number of available housing units, thereby increasing the occupancy rates. Also, to keep students from choosing to live off-campus, housing officials should lower the rents, thereby increasing demand.” 校园报纸的社论: 因为校园住宅的使用率在过去的学年中下降了,住宅收入也下降了。为了解决这个问题,校园住宅办公室应该减少可使用的住宅单元,从而增加使用率。同样的,为了不让学生选择住在校外,住宅办公室应该降低租金来扩大需求。
1, 忽略他因:单纯地说问题所在是rent. 但实际上可能有很多其他的因素:房子的condition, security, cleaning service,noisy surroundings等等。 2, 过去不能推广到未来:很可能变化了——比如enrollments of students have sharply increased。所以,很可能减少available的数量可能不是合适的做法。 3, 减少提供的房子,降低房租,很可能导致收入下降。 “The construction last year of a shopping mall in downtown Oak City was a mistake. Since the mall has opened, a number of local businesses have closed, and the downtown area suffers from an acute parking shortage, and arrests for crime and vagrancy have increased in the nearby Oak City Park. Elm City should pay attention to the example of the Oak City mall and deny the application to build a shopping mall in Elm City.”(新题) Discuss how well reasoned... etc. “The construction of last year of a shopping mall in downtown Oak City has done little for the residents of the community. Since the mall has opened, a number of local businesses have closed, and the downtown area suffers from an acute parking shortage. In addition, because the mall’s owner lives in nearby Elm City, the profits derived from sales at the mall are not being returned to the community. These problems, coupled with the increase in trash and litter in nearby Oak City park, demonstrate that Oak City did not use good judgment in allowing the construction of the mall in the first place.”(老题) Elm城的报纸上的社论: 去年在橡树城市中心修建购物中心是个错误。由于中心开业,大量的本地企业倒闭了。而且市中心受到严重缺乏停车位的困扰。在附近的橡树城公园拘捕的罪犯和流浪汉也增加了。榆树城应该注意橡树城购物中心的例子并防止在榆树城建立购物中心。 1. 作者所给出的所有问题和商场的建设都是时间上的前后关系而没有给出证据显示他们的因果关系 2. 作者只给出了不好的结果而没有给出好的影响很可能权衡利弊之后被选择的是要开这个商场 3. 这个商场的建立不应该也不能由此就否定以后所有的商场的建立
Issue: 112. “The overall quality of life in most societies has never been better than at the present time because of recent advancements in such areas as business and technology.” “因为最近商业和技术方面的发展,大多数社会的总体社会质量前所未有的好。” 1, 物质生活更丰富,生活更便利,不受天灾威胁 2, 节奏太快,远离自然 3, 进步是双刃剑要好好利用double-edged sword “当某项特定服务的技术和需求改变时,很多工人将失业。适应这种改变的责任属于每个工人而不是政府或企业。”
1, The government should be responsible for the adjustment of the workers. If all the citizens should be responsible for themselves, there is no use for the government to exist. 2, The government should also force the business to involve in the project. Because the government itself is incapable of doing so without concrete knowledge of each certain industry. In the long run, doing so will also benefit the business. 3, Admittedly, the workers should not rely on others to help them to adjust to varying situations. They themselves should adapt their skills and knowledge to the change of the industry and of the society. “当某项特定服务的技术和需求改变时,很多工人将失业。适应这种改变的责任属于每个工人而不是政府或企业。”
