【C4】
选项 A、stopped
B、started
C、kept
D、continued
答案D
解析 注意空白处前面有个让步状语从句,因此主句所叙述的内容一定与它的逻辑推理相反,从这个意义上讲,只有选项C和D可供选择,但选项C如果用于“一直不断”这个词义时,后面应该接doing sth.,即keep doing sth.,不能keep to do sth.；而选项D,既可continue doing sth.,又可continue to do sth.,故应选D。虽然选项B也可以start doing sth.和start to do sth.,但与上下文意思不符,因为她在此之前曾经为此被指控过了。
