　　gre argument 68题目：

　　The following appeared in a memo from a budget planner for the City of Grandview.

　　"To avoid a budget dicit next year, the City of Grandview must(6) eliminate its funding for the Grandview Symphony. Our citizens are well aware of the fact that while the Grandview Symphony Orchestra was struggling to succeed, our city government promised annual funding to help support its programs. Last year, however, private contributions to the Symphony increased by 200 percent(1), and attendance at the Symphony&aposs concerts-in-the-park series doubled(2,3). The Symphony has also announced an increase in ticket prices for next year(4). Such developments indicate that the Symphony can now succeed without funding from city government and we can eliminate that expense from next year&aposs budget. This action will surely prevent a budget dicit(5)."

　　提纲：

　　(1)We do not know the base amount of private contributions to the Symphony the year bore last, thus we cannot evaluate if the contributions were significant.

　　(2)The fact that attendance at the concert series doubled does not necessarily indicate that the Symphony is operating successfully.

　　(3)The facts cited by the planner, including the increased private contributions, popularity of concert series, may not recur in the following years.

　　(4)The planner does not inform us how much will the ticket prices actually increase.

　　(5)Eliminating the funding for the Symphony alone may not prevent a budget dicit sufficiently.

　　(6)Other measures could also be taken to prevent a budget dicit.

　　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。
