文章最后我就用這2道ARGUMENT真題來讓大家體會一下如何填空，由于篇幅有限，所以我直接給出了答案，希望大家在自己練習(xí)“滿分魔板填空法”的時候先自己按照這兩道真題題目本身進(jìn)行填空，再對照我的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案，只有這樣才能夠體會到“滿分魔板填空法”的精髓所在。
例題一：The following appeared in a memo from the mayor of the town of Hopewell.
“Two years ago, the town of Ocean View built a new municipal golf course and restore hotel. During the past two years, tourism in Ocean View has increased, new businesses have opened there, and Ocean View’s tax revenues have risen by 30 percent. The best way to improve Hopewell’s economy, and generate additional tax revenues, is to build a golf course and restore hotel similar to those in Ocean View.
題目結(jié)論：末句。
1. 在兩個事物之間進(jìn)行的弱類比——錯誤類比(False analogy)/不全面比較或有選擇比較(incomplete comparison or selected comparison)
題目通過與類似事物的比較得出關(guān)于某一事物的結(jié)論(城市、學(xué)校、公司)但表層的共性并不能否定更深層次的差異。/比較兩個事物時，只比較少數(shù)幾個方面，或只比較對自己的觀點(diǎn)有利的方面，同時忽略或壓制其他重要方面。
關(guān)鍵判斷詞：Similar
改錯模板：The argument relies on what might be a false analogy between OV and H. In order for a new municipal golf course and restore hotel in OV to serve as models which H should emulate, the major must assume that all the relevant circumstances involving the general and initial economy are essentially the same. However this assumption is unwarranted. For example, the argument overlooks the possibility that the increase of OV’s tax revenues was motivated by other factors/concerns besides the new building in OV. Perhaps those in power changed some policies regarding OV’s tax revenues. As for 30 percent, perhaps the starting point is very low. Or perhaps the improvement of OV’s tax revenues is only because a dominant geographical location in OV.
2.混淆因果關(guān)系和相關(guān)性(兩個現(xiàn)象一起發(fā)生)和時間的先后次序(一個現(xiàn)象在另一個現(xiàn)象之后發(fā)生)。
關(guān)鍵判斷詞：Two years ago/during the past two years
改錯模板：The argument is based on a known correlation between building a new municipal golf course accompanied by a restore hotel and the enhancement of OV’s tax revenues, that the latter is attributable, at least partly, to the former. Yet the correlation alone amounts to scant evidence of the claimed cause-and–effect relationship. Perhaps the growth of OV’s tax revenues can be caused by other factors as well, which are absent in these particular states but present in all the others. Moreover, the argument overlooks the fact that two years doesn’t mean forever. The arguer has not accounted for the possibility that the geographical and demographic differences might even lead to opposite result. If this is the case, then the conclusion that H should follow the example of OV would lack any merits whatsoever.
3.認(rèn)為所有事物是恒定的
關(guān)鍵判斷詞：Two years ago/during the past two years
改錯模板：The arguer’s claim unfairly infers form OV’s comparatively promotion of tax revenues in the past that H should copy/indiscriminately imitate. Absent evidence to support this inference, it is just as likely that the global economy had been gliding. For that matter, perhaps the OV’s experience would contribute less to H or even nothing. Any of these assumptions, if true, would serve to undermine the claim that H should do the same thing as OV.
例題二：Now is the time to invest in a PLG franchise so that you can profit from opening one of our gyms in your town. Consider the current trend: PLG is already popular among customers in 500 locations, and national surveys indicate increasing concern with weight loss and physical fitness. Furthermore, last year’s sales of books and magazines on personal health totaled more than $50 million and purchases of home exercise equipment almost doubled. Investing now in a PLG franchise will guarantee a quick profit.
