    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.

选项
答案 K
解析 本句为do sth．rather than do sth．结构，因此空格处应填入动词原形。rather than“而不是”提示空格后表达的是和空格前相反的意思，空格前说还是应该让妇女们拖煤，这样才能有煤可用，因此空格处填入的词应该能表达出“不应让妇女继续拖煤”或“不再用煤”之意，词库中的deprive“剥夺”符合语境。deprive sb．of sth．意为“剥夺某人某物”。
