    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】________.

解析 空格应填入副词作状语，修饰谓语have worked。上文提到了mines“矿，矿井”，根据常识可知矿工在地下矿井工作，词库中的副词underground“在地下”符合上下文语境，故选E。
