As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex and mysterious. [Specific Task Instruction: 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.]

随着我们获取的知识越来越多，事情没有变得更易于理解，而是变得更复杂更神秘了。[说明：写一篇文章，讨论你同意或反对这个说法达到什么程度，并解释你选择这个观点的理由。在展开和支持你的观点时，你需要考虑这个说法可能在哪些方面成立或者不成立，并解释你所考虑的这些东西如何体现你的观点]

本题改编自老GRE的ISSUE183"As we acquire more knowledge, things do not become more comprehensible, but more complex and more mysterious"。题目讨论知识对事物影响的问题，题目给出了一个负作用——越来越多的知识使事情更复杂神秘了。在分析的过程中，可以从知识增长的目的和具体情况、事物变化的具体形式、易于理解和复杂神秘之间的关系、导致这一情况的各种因素、不同领域不同问题的分情况考虑等方面展开思考。你可以通过直接和间接影响、静态和动态区别、个例和整体情况来扩展思路。

1. 请举例并对比：在现在和以前，某一领域中对于某项任务的情况有哪些不同。
回答：
物理学：牛顿那个时代主要研究的是机械运动。而现在主要研究的是微观粒子和宇宙
2. 获得知识对于理解事物存在哪些帮助？请举例并分析。
回答：
获得知识可以增加对事物的理解,会理解的更加透彻,全面,甚至能够了解与该种事物相类似的存在. 比如获得对植物学中的共生关系的理解,会使人了解共生的原因,整个过程,共生的结果,同时还会了解大自然的巧妙和广阔,还可能通过获得细胞学的知识了解共生的细菌的整个作用方式.
3. 因为知识的积累，事物变得更加复杂神秘的原因有哪些？（例如：早年生物学只要对动植物进行观察，而随着发展，生物学研究已经深入到DNA、RNA）请举例并简述。
回答：
知识的不断的扩充,积累,同时有关事物研究的深入,问题会随着越来越多,食物就变得更加复杂神秘. 比如物理的天体的研究也已经进入到分子原子领域,通过对光谱的分析来分析金星大气的成分(Atmospheric composition)但同时人们还是无法通过金星大气的分析来分析金星云层的具体状况.
4. 事物变简单和变得复杂神秘是否仅存在简单的对立关系？请分析并简述。
回答：
不是单纯的对立关系simple antagonistic relation 辩证的dialectical看待两者 随着对问题的不断深入研究 会出现更多未知的领域，在探索的过程是复杂神秘的，或在解决问题中所应用的知识是深奥的，但一旦将问题研究彻底，就会变得很透彻，清晰明了从简单再到复杂通常暗示着一种质的飞跃或新的发现 the process from simplicity to complexity usually implies a qualitative leap
5. 事物变得复杂神秘是否就能说明知识的增加没有好处？对事物理解的进步是否要以复杂程度为标准？
回答：
不是，有好处，有很多好处。进步的标准应该是对于事物理解的正确与否，或者深入程度，而不是简单还是复杂。

作文
The speaker asserts that as we acquire more knowledge, things do
not become more comprehensible, but more complex and mysterious. I concede that knowledge sometimes render things more complex and
more mysterious.However,in my view,the speaker's assertion is too
simplistic.
Sometimes,things may become more inexplicable and complicated with our deep understanding of certain things.Humans have innate desires to exploit the unknown.And in the process of exploiting the unknown,humans acquire knowledge and use it to explain the world.The more knowledge people acquired,the more desirable they want to discover the unknown world.Yet people's cognitive abilities and knowledge accumulated are limited compared to the complexity of the unknown world.So,it is unavoidable that we meet something we cannot understand based on our existing knowledge. Actually each discovery has in turn revealed that matter is more complex that previously thought.
However,the phenomenon above do not mean that the more difficult it is to understand things surrounding us,the more knowledge we acquire.In fact,when we get more knowledge and meet new questions,our existing knowledge and experience can not help us understand and explain the new questions.Nevertheless,it fails to deny the fact that we comprehend things surrounding us more thoroughly and more profoundly.Once humans come across the questions they cannot deal with,they always re-examine the validity of existing theories and methods,and use their creativity and imagination to broaden and deepen them to solve the new problems.For example,let us retrospect the history of establishment of quantum physics.At the beginning of the twentieth century,it was commonly believed that the theory of classical physics is nearly perfect,leaving only a few problems to be solved.However, the phenomenon "black body radiation", were beyond the classical physics.Physicists cannot use classical electrodynamics and classical statistical physics to explain this phenomenon.At that time,Max Planck creatively proposed the quantization( that the energy states of a physical system could be discrete) to solve the problem,initiating a revolution in natural science and philosophy.
Without comprehending the details of the question which seems perplex ,we cannot sum up and obtain a more comprehensible result.Consider,for example,the scientific research.The scientists strive for working out every detail of a perplex problem based on existing theories and methods.And then they would find some features of the problem,and sum up some possible principles to simplify the problem.Thus,to simplify a problem,we must clarify the details of it,which may be complicated.
In sum,the statement neglects a paradox about knowledge acquired.When through the acquisition of knowledge things become more comprehensible and explainable,we realize at the same time that it is more complex and mysterious that previously thought.
