　　考试时间：2011年9月3日

　　考试地点：东南大学九龙湖校区

　　issue：

　　The surest indicator of a great nation is not the achievements of its rulers, artists, or scientists, but the general well-being of all its people.

　　argument：

　　The following was written as a part of an application for a small-business loan by a group of developers in the city of Monroe.

　　"Jazz music is extremely popular in the city of Monroe: over 100,000 people attended Monroe&aposs annual jazz festival last summer, and the highest-rated radio program in Monroe is &aposJazz Nightly,&apos which airs every weeknight. Also, a number of well-known jazz musicians own homes in Monroe. Nevertheless, the nearest jazz club is over an hour away. Given the popularity of jazz in Monroe and a recent nationwide study indicating that the typical jazz fan spends close to $1,000 per year on jazz entertainment, a jazz music club in Monroe would be tremendously profitable."

　　Write a response in which you examine the stated and/or unstated assumptions of the argument. Be sure to explain how the argument depends on these assumptions and what the implications are for the argument if the assumptions prove unwarranted.
