The recent publication of the painter Rober Motherwell's substantial body of writing, as well as writings by fellow Expressionist Barnett Newman, undermines Ann Gibson’s assertion that the Abstract Expressionists were reluctant to articulate issues of artistic meaning in their work and suggests that this supposed reticence was perhaps more artistic posturing than historical fact.
畫家蘿蔔媽媽樂的實體畫作以及同行抽象畫家巴內特紐曼的近期公開作品徹底打臉安吉伯森那個主張抽像畫家是不可能在他們作品中清晰表達藝術含義還有刻意營造的沈默也許更像是藝術故弄玄虛而非歷史事實的觀點

原題：
The recent publication of the painter Rober Motherwell’s substantial body of writing, as well as writings by fellow Expressionist Barnett Newman, (i) _____Ann Gibson’s assertion that the Abstract Expressionists were reluctant to (ii) ______ issues of artistic meaning in their work and suggests that this supposed reticence was perhaps more artistic (iii) _____than historical fact.
Blank(i) Blank(ii) Blank(iii)

(A)substantiates

(D)forgo

(G)conscience

(B)undermines

(E)articulate

(H)focus
(C)overlooks

(F)conceal

(I)posturing

 

解題方式：

先由空格三下手，more artistic (iii) _____than historical fact，兩者做比較就是邏輯取反(iii) _____ VS. fact 所以選(I)posturing

接下來往前Ann Gibson’s assertion that the Abstract Expressionists were reluctant to (ii) ______ issues of artistic meaning in their work and suggests that this supposed reticence was perhaps more artistic (iii) _____than historical fact.這是被帶出來的名詞子句說明道理是怎麼樣的asscertion, 空格三解完之後看到and表示前後邏輯要相同，所以又可以搞出一個恆等式出來了這次是態度心情表達上的等式reluctant to (ii) ______＝this supposed reticence他們關係就是不願不沈默對上沈默所以選(E)articulate

最後在往前看空格一，中間的插入語表示RM是跟Expressionist有關係然後RM又publication，去對上AG他覺得Expressionists were reluctant to articulate，所以可以知道等式是RM publication＝(i) _____AGreluctant to articulate所以邏輯相反選(B)undermines
