上楼，我猜你大概意思是对的，第三空主要是词的程度问题，prosaic强调普通，而hayckney强调陈腐过时，所以prosaic更好（用手机回复不知道拼对了没，请将就看吧

上面都在讲哲学怎么从普通事物中加深理解，为啥第二空选utterly mysterious

下面是官方解释：

The first two sentences present a contrast between extending our knowledge by discovering “new information about the world”—which we are told philosophy does not do—and extending knowledge through some activity involving “things that are closest to us.” The first blank asks us to identify that activity, and although “attainment” makes little sense in context, both “rumination on” and “detachment from” have some appeal. However, the clear implication that philosophy attends to things that ordinarily escape our notice eliminates “detachment from” as a correct answer. Blank (ii) requires something that suggests the importance of familiar things as subjects of philosophical rumination, and “utterly mysterious” does just that. “Essentially irrelevant” and “thoroughly commonplace” do not fit logically since they suggest that these “familiar” things are unimportant. Similarly, Blank (iii) needs to be consistent with the description of those things as familiar and close. “Most prosaic” fits that idea while “refreshingly novel” goes in the other direction. “Somewhat hackneyed” has some plausibility but is too negative given the overall tone of the sentence; there is no indication that those things are in any way trite. Thus the correct answer is rumination on (Choice B), utterly mysterious (Choice E), and most prosaic (Choice G).

我覺得Prosaic 和hackney都可以倒是。。我感覺是前面那個程度副詞我錯了。。。prosaic前面是most，hackney 前面是somewhat

下面是官方解释：

Philosophy begins by finding (ii) ______ the things that are (iii) ______. 這句話有點倒裝的感覺，就是 哲學從the things that are (iii)________ 中 begins by finding (ii)____________。結合前面的意思，應該是從commonplace的東西中找uniqueness。所以第二空DF都不對。

个人看法，前一句说哲学是deepen our understanding from what are already closest to us可以理解成从平凡的事物中寻找不平凡的东西，不平凡的即对应mysterious神秘未知的，而prosaic=ordinary=familiar是平凡的意思，hackneyed是陈腐的意思，偏贬义，不选
