12月18日是2016年的最后一場GRE考試，也是許多考生為了申請名校趕上DEADLINE的最后一搏背水之戰(zhàn)，因此對不少同學(xué)來說這是一場決不允許失敗的戰(zhàn)斗。下面是小編為大家整理收集的關(guān)于12月18日GRE作文機經(jīng)Argument的最新預(yù)測，希望對大家有所幫助。

　　題目

　　The following appeared in a memorandum from the owner of Movies Galore, a chain of movie-rental stores.

　　"Because of declining profits, we must reduce operating expenses at Movies Galore's ten movie-rental stores. Raising prices is not a good option, since we are famous for our low prices. Instead, we should reduce our operating hours. Last month our store in downtown Marston reduced its hours by closing at 6:00 p.m. rather than 9:00 p.m. and reduced its overall inventory by no longer stocking any DVD released more than five years ago. Since we have received very few customer complaints about these new policies, we should now adopt them at all other Movies Galore stores as our best strategies for improving profits."

　　Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument.

　　題目翻譯

　　以下文字出自一連鎖電影租賃店--Movies Galore擁有者的備忘錄：

　　“由于利潤下降，我們必須壓縮Movies Galore十家錄像租賃店的營業(yè)開支。漲價并不是一個好選擇，因為我們是因低價而知名的。相比較我們應(yīng)該采取縮短營業(yè)時間的策略。上個月我們位于Marston鬧市區(qū)的店營業(yè)下班時間從以前的晚上9點縮短到下午6點，并不再保留發(fā)行五年以上的DVD以減少總庫存量。由于我們只收到了很少的關(guān)于這些新政策的客戶投訴，我們應(yīng)該在所有Movies Galore的店面實施這些政策來作為增加利潤的最好策略。”

　　說明：寫一篇文章，闡述需要哪些具體的證據(jù)來評價這個論證過程，并解釋這些證據(jù)如何削弱或強化這個論證過程。
