The question as to what constitutes art is hardly a ____________ one.
Today, artists exist whose main goal seems only to subvert work that no
longer warrants the trite tag, “cutting-edge.” Once the proverbial envelope is
pushed even further, the public inevitably scratches its collective head – or
furrows the collective brow – thinking that this time the “artists” have
____________. That very same admixture of contempt and confusion,
however, was not unknown in Michelangelo’s day; only what was considered
blasphemous, art-wise, in the 16th Century, would today be considered
____________.
Blank (i)
perennial
contemporary
controversial
Blank (ii)
served their purpose
gone too far
failed to provoke
Blank (iii)
hackneyed
reverent
tame
答案为223 为什么选tame 不选hackneyed?

hackneyed是陈腐的，过于强烈了。 tame更符合语境

只有tame和同时blasphemous,art-wise二者同时对立！其他两个选项只能对一个
