GMAT题库考题及翻译---Argument篇为了方便考生复习，本资料的题目按照网上广为流传的方式编号：即按照Official Guide（第十版）的顺序编排，删去的题目（54，56,69,71,90,98,99,103）保持原来的序号。虽然在2006年10月公布的题库中，删除了所有2005年新增的题目，但是仔细分析就会发现这部分题目有相当一部分与最新题库中的某些题比较相似；另一方面，某些考题在考试中仍会出现，所以本资料保留了这部分题目，供考生参考。目前的题库（共179道）由三部分组成：1）OG上面的题库，编号1-139，删去了八道（54，56,69,71,90,98,99,103），共131道题；2）2005年增加34道题，编号140-1733）2006年增加14题，编号174-1871.The following appeared as part of an annual report sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods, a processor of frozen foods.下文摘自一家奥林匹克食品公司（一家冷冻食品公司）递交给股东的年度报告。“Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1790 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to minimize costs and thus maximize profits.” 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. 随着时间的推移，企业学会了更好的工作方法，从而提高了效率，因此加工成本逐步下降。以彩色胶卷为例，冲印一张3×5英寸照片的成本从1970年的50美分并耗时5天降至1984年的20美分，且只需要一天就可以完成。同样的规律也适用于食品加工业。由于奥林匹克食品公司马上就要举办25周年庆典大会了，我们可以凭借长期的从业经历才实现成本的最小化，从而达到利润最大化的目标。你觉得这个论证的推理怎么样？请在你的论述中分析这个论证的推理过程以及所使用的论据。比如，你需要考虑支持作者观点的假设是否可疑，有没有其他解释或者反例可以削弱这一结论。你也可以讨论什么样的论据可以加强或者反驳这个论证，对该论证做出怎么样的改变才能使它更加符合逻辑，以及哪些东西可以帮助你更好地评价这个结论。2.
