2016年8月17日GRE写作机经
题目：
The following is part of a memorandum from the president of Humana University.
" Last year the number of students who enrolled in online degree programs offered by nearby Omni University increased by 50 percent. During the same year, Omni showed a significant decrease from prioryears in expenditures for dormitory and classroom space, most likelybecause online instruction takes place via the Internet. In contrast, overthe past three years, enrollment at Humana University has failed to growand the cost of maintaining buildings has increased. Thus, to increaseenrollment and solve the problem of budget deficits at HumanaUniversity, we should initiate and actively promote online degree programs like those at Omni."
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order todecide whether the prediction and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the prediction.
分析：
Statement翻译：去年报名参加 Omni 大学远程教学系统的学生人数上升了 50%。 同年 ，Omni 用于宿舍和教室的开支比前一年显著下降，很可能是因为远程教学通过互动电脑录像授课。比较而言，在过去三年中，Humana 学院的报名人数下降了，而且用于房屋维护的费用上升。因此，为增加报名数量并解决 Humana 学院财政赤字问题，我们也应该开展并积极推广与 Omni 一样的远程教学系统。
参考提纲：
1.没有证据表明 Omni 大学的宿舍维护费用减少是因为网络授课的缘故。
2.没于信息表明 Humana 大学和 Omni 是情况类似的两个比较对象。
3.其他因素：作者没有考虑是什么原因导致 Humana 大学维护建筑的费用上升;此外，也没有考虑是否有更好的办法吸引学生报考Humana大学，如设立更多的新兴学科，聘请更多更有权威的教授，或挖掘自己学校的特色等。
