    It is not long since conditions in the mines were worse than they are now. There are still living a few very old women who in their youth have worked【C1】________, with harness round their waists, and a chain that passed between their legs, crawling on all fours and【C2】________tugs of coal. They used to go on doing this even when they were【C3】________.
    And even now, if coal could not be produced without pregnant women dragging it to and fro, I fancy we should let them do it rather than【C4】________ ourselves of coal. But most of the time, of course, we【C5】________ to forget that they were doing it. It is the same with all types of manual work; it keeps us alive, and we are【C6】________ of its existence. More than anything else perhaps, the miner can stand as the type of manual worker, not only because it is so【C7】________ necessary and yet so silent, that we are capable of forgetting it as we forget the blood in our【C8】________. In a way it is even【C9】________ to watch coal-miners working. It raises in you a momentary doubt about your own status as an "intellectual" and a superior person generally.

选项
答案 D
解析 空格前有is，空格后为to do sth．结构，故空格应填入形容词或分词。上文提到人们通常忘记矿工们的艰辛，流露出一种不赞同的意味。根据空格前表程度递进的even“甚至，更加”，可判断空格处应填入一个消极意义或否定意义的词，以说明看到旷工工作是一件令人更为不堪的事情。词库中的形容词humiliating“羞耻的”符合语境，意为“在某种程度上，看矿工工作会让人感到羞愧”。
