As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex and mysterious.
Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.
这篇文章立论很明显是局限于题目既定的框架,将题目涉及的三个方面,独立开来加以分析和讨论。如果表达完美、举例贴切,最高4分。为什么得不到更高的分数呢?原因在于它只看到了题目的表象,而没有深入分析“more comprehensible”和“more complex and more mysterious”之间的关系及其背后隐含的深刻内涵。
In order for any work of art—for example, a film, a novel, a poem, or a song—to have merit, it must be understandable to most people.

本题仍然是一道“是非类”指令题。
我们以一段分论点论述为例,分析什么样的举例论证才是具有说服力的。
“More importantly, the possession of merit does not necessarily require artwork to be intelligible. In fact, art’s merit is primarily embodied in the artist’s skill mastery, as well as by the representation of his/ her inner world. Such skills frequently remain exclusive to the artist due to its opaqueness; likewise, the artist's unique personal experience also alienates him/her from those who do not share similar stories. The artwork, therefore, is not always understandable to most people, but under no circumstance does this complexity hinder the artwork from achieving its intrinsic worth. Picasso's "Guernica'', one of many possible examples, sufficiently supports my claim. Prestigious for its adept expression of cubism and surrealism, as well as its vivid portrayal of the painter's mental agony and fury about violence, “Guernica" has achieved worldwide fame. However, the abstruseness of this work's expression precludes common appreciation; similarly, people with no experience under the devil’s trample fail to sympathize with the painter. Nevertheless, few dispute “Guernica's" arcane expression and theme, but applaud it as a highly meritorious masterpiece.
