　　难易程度：★★★

　　题目题材：社会

　　题目：

　　The following appeared in a letter to the editor of the Walnut Grove town newspaper.

　　"Walnut Grove&aposs town council has advocated switching from EZ Disposal (which has had the contract for trash collection services in Walnut Grove for the past ten years) to ABC Waste, because EZ recently raised its monthly fee from $2,000 to $2,500 a month, whereas ABC&aposs fee is still $2,000. But the town council is mistaken; we should continue using EZ(4). EZ collects trash twice a week(1), while ABC collects only once(5). Moreover, EZ—which, like ABC, currently has a fleet of 20 trucks—has ordered additional trucks(2,3). Finally, EZ provides exceptional service: 80 percent of respondents(6) to last year&aposs town survey agreed that they were &apossatisfied&apos (8)with EZ&aposs performance(7)."

　　提纲：

　　(1)The author fails to substantiate the assumption that the town would benit from an additional collection each week.

　　(2)The author does not inform us the usage of the newly ordered trucks, and that of the current fleet, of EZ.

　　(3)We could not rule out the possibility that ABC has also ordered additional trucks to its fleet.

　　(4)The author fails to consider other factors such as the credit, the procedure and technology of trash-collecting of each company.

　　(5)The author fails to demonstrate that the residents care more about the frequency of trash collection than the charge.

　　(6)The au­thor fails to provide assurances that the respondents of the survey are representative of the over­all population of people whose trash were collected by EZ.

　　(7)Those respondents, or citizens of our town, may be even more satisfied with ABC&aposs services.

　　(8)We do not know what question was asked in the survey, thus we could not evaluate whether the answer “satisfied” is significant.

　　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。
