    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.

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 J
解析 空格处应填入动词，与to forget构成该句的谓语；由于主语是we，故所填动词应为原形或过去式。词库中符合要求的动词只有prefer，prefer to do sth．表示“宁愿做某事”，代入空格后意为“我们宁愿忘记她们正在经历的苦难”，和上文构成转折语义，符合语境。derive一般与from搭配，表示“源自，来自”；deprive通常的用法是deprive sb．of sth．“剥夺某人某物”。
