Although it is now academically respectable to analyze popular culture, the fact that many intellectuals feel compelled to rationalize their own(ii)______action movies or mass-market fiction reveals, perhaps unwittingly, their continued(iii)______the old hierarchy of high and low culture.

C,D,H
解析
The sentence discusses a purported change in how popular culture and high art are relatively valued; the author is scrutinizing the notion that the academic study of the former has significantly raised its once lowly status. In the last sentence, Blank(iii)is preceded by the word "continued," indicating that something about intellectuals’ view of the hierarchy of culture has remained unchanged. Since the author states in the first sentence that this hierarchy was once dominant, "investment in" the hierarchy would indicate that sense of continuity. Neither of the other two options is supported by the passage because there is no indication the author believes that intellectuals have a long-held aversion to or misunderstanding of that hierarchy. The "although" that begins the last sentence indicates that the phrase completed by Blank(ii)will contrast the respectability of analyses of popular culture with something that nonetheless reveals a continued allegiance to the hierarchy. A need to explain away a "distaste for" or an "indifference to" action movies or pulp fiction would not indicate any such allegiance, so those choices must be incorrect. However, a need to justify one’s penchant or liking for popular culture would indicate an adherence to the high-low culture hierarchy. Thus "penchant for" is the correct choice for Blank(ii). Finally, since the author is suggesting that the hierarchy given to high and low culture is not obsolete as some claim, it follows that the shift in attitudes is exaggerated; thus, the correct answer to Blank(i)is "overstated." "Underappreciated" implies the opposite, and "counterproductive" implies a judgment about the value of the hierarchy, whereas the passage is primarily concerned with its existence.
Thus the correct answer is overstated(Choice C), penchant for(Choice D), and investment in(Choice H).
