GRE寫作Argument模擬題 第4篇

Task Direction:
You will have 30 minutes to plan and write a critique of an argument presented in the form of a short passage. A critique of any other argument will receive a score of zero.
Analyze the line of reasoning in the argument. Be sure to consider what, if any, questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and, if evidence is cited, how well it supports 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 additional information might help you better evaluate its conclusion. Note that you are NOT being asked to present your views on the subject.
GRE? readers who are college and university faculty will read your critique and evaluate its overall quality, based on how well youidentify and analyze important features of the argumentorganize, develop, and express your critique of the argument

Before you begin writing, you may want to take a few minutes to evaluate the argument and to plan a response. Be sure to develop your ideas fully and organize them coherently, but leave time to read what you have written and make any revisions that you think are necessary.
Section Direction:
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument.
Question:
Milk and dairy products are rich in vitamin D and calcium, substances essential for building and maintaining bones. Many people therefore believe that a diet rich in dairy products can help prevent osteoporosis, a disease in which the bones weaken significantly with age and that is linked to both environmental and genetic factors. But a long-term study of a large number of people has found that those who have consistently consumed dairy products throughout the years of the study have a higher rate of bone fractures than any other participants in the study. Since bone fractures are a symptom of osteoporosis, this study result shows that a diet rich in dairy products may actually increase, rather than decrease, the risk of osteoporosis.
題目講解
本題要求從題目中找出主要的邏輯錯誤，也就是Argument題目的提綱，同時每一個邏輯錯誤準備一套語言套路去反駁。
牛奶和奶制品富含維生素D和鈣，這是骨骼生長和維持所必須的物質(zhì)。因此很多人相信多吃奶制品的飲食可以幫助預防骨質(zhì)疏松癥，這是一種骨骼隨年齡而顯著弱化而且與環(huán)境和基因因素相關(guān)聯(lián)的疾病。但是一項對大量人群的長期研究發(fā)現(xiàn)那些在研究期間經(jīng)常食用奶制品的人骨折發(fā)病率比其他參加研究的人要高。由于骨折是骨質(zhì)疏松癥的癥狀之一，這一研究結(jié)果表明富含奶制品的飲食實際上會增加而不是減少患骨質(zhì)疏松癥的危險。
觀點提示
1.作者沒有提供足夠的證據(jù)證明，使骨質(zhì)酥松癥而不是其他的因素導致了骨折。可能有其他的原因
2.作者還忽略了導致骨質(zhì)酥松的其他原因。不一定是牛奶導致的
3.另外這個研究的具體過程以及對象的情況也不能有力證明論點。
