    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G
解析 空格应填入现在分词，与上文的crawling并列。根据上文的描述“她们用安全带绑着腰，将链条穿过双腿匍匐在地上”，可知她们是拖拉着煤炭，词库中的dragging“拖，拉”符合要求。本题注意排除pushing“推”，如果是推煤炭的话，就不需要crawling on all fours“匍匐在地上”。
