    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. For it is brought home to you, at least while you are watching, that it is only because miners sweat their guts out that superior persons can【C10】________ superior. [br] 【C6】

选项

答案 I

解析 空格前为be动词are,空格后为介词短语of…,推断空格处可能需填入形容词或分词,且能和of构成搭配。空格所在句由两个分句组成,前一分句是对上一句内容的承接——所有的体力劳动都跟上句所说的情况一样,即:体力劳动让我们得以生存,而我们却通常忘却(forget)它们。由此可知,空格所填单词应能表达出跟forget相近的意思。词库中符合要求的只有oblivious“不注意的;未察觉到的”,be oblivious of意为“忽视”,代入后表示“这和所有的体力劳动都是一样的;它让我们得以生存,而我们却忽略了它的存在”,符合上下文语境。
