GRE 官方题库原题 126
The following appeared in an article in the Grandview Beacon.
"For many years the city of Grandview has provided annual funding for the Grandview Symphony. Last year, however, private contributions to the symphony increased by 200 percent and attendance at the symphony's concerts-in-the-park series doubled. The symphony has also announced an increase in ticket prices for next year. Given such developments, some city commissioners argue that the symphony can now be fully self-supporting, and they recommend that funding for the symphony be eliminated from next year's budget."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.
题目翻译
这么多年来 G 市政府每年都资助 G 的交响乐团。但是去年，个人对乐团的资助增加了 200%，同时乐团公园音乐会的人数翻了一番。另外乐团还宣布明年的票价将会提高。鉴于目前局面，一些 G 市的官员们认为 G 的交响乐团可以独立维持生存，可以取消明年对该乐团的政府资助。
题目分析
1. 私人赞助的上升速度不能说明它占了总赞助数量很高的比例。因为上升速度快不代表相对份额多，所以很可能音乐会的主要经济来源还是政府的资助，所以作者给出的证据并不能支持其结论。
2. 平行地，明年音乐会的涨价不能保证其盈利。很可能参与的人数还会减少，甚至都不能保证明年的门票收入比今年更高，更不能说明门票收入就足以使音乐会盈利了。
3. 即使音乐会能自给自足，很可能政府也会为了其他目的而给予赞助。比如政府为了它在文化界的影响力，或是作为政绩的一部分等等。作者需要澄清政府赞助的目的。
