　　gre argument 204题目：

　　The following appeared as a letter to the editor of a farming publication.

　　With continuing publicity about the need for healthful diets, and with new research about the harmful effects of eating too much sugar, nationwide demand for sugar will no doubt decline. Therefore, farmers in our state should use the land on which they currently grow sugar cane to grow peanuts, a food that is rich in protein and low in sugar. Farmers in the neighboring country of Palin greatly increased their production of peanuts last year, and their total revenues from that crop were quite high.

　　提纲：

　　The facts offered by the author do not necessarily indicate that the demand for sugar will decline.

　　Granted that the demand for sugar will decline, we cannot ensure that growing sugar will no longer bring in profits for farmers in our state.

　　The author fails to illustrate that growing peanut will yield great profits for our farmers.

　　The author fails to consider if the farms in our state are capable of growing peanuts, and if the demand for peanuts is significant.

　　The author fails to consider the possible cost of growing peanuts, thus the profits of farmers in Palin might be low although their total revenues from peanuts were high.

　　Without data concerning the total number of farmers and amount of land used for growing peanuts in Palin, we could not evaluate if the revenues are significant.

　　The author unfairly assumes that the situation in Palin last year will continue in the future.

　　There may be many other differences between Palin and our state.

　　The author ignores other profitable crops that we could grow.

　　注：题目中括号里的数字表明这句话体现的是提纲中第几号缺陷。
