新GRE小短文阅读练习题五十一
Editorial:Pineville's budget is chronically overspent.Nevertheless, the mayorclaimsthat the town can have a new community swimming pool without raising muni-
cipaltaxes, since the pool can be built on available municipal land and the
entire construction debt can be repaid by admission fees alone.The mayor's
claim iswrong, however; building a community pool would require costly road
improvements in the new pool's vicinity, and municipal taxes are Pineville's
only available revenue source.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the editorial's argument
depends?
A The town of Pineville will not, in the future, succeed in reducing the amount
by which it overspends its budget annually.
BPineville does not at present have a community pool that is in use.
C A majority of the residents of Pineville would be willing to pay an admis-
sion fee to use the new community pool.
D The mayor is not well informed about all the costs that construction of a
new community pool would involve.
E At least some of the cost of road improvements in the vicinity of the new
community pool in Pineville would have to be borne by the municipality.
