    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.
【C10】
选项
答案B
解析 由空格前的情态动词can，可确定空格处应填入动词原形，构成句子谓语。空格后的superior既可做形容词，也可做名词；做名词时为可数名词，但空格前既无冠词，空格后superior也不是复数形式，故superior在此为形容词，作表语；由此可知，空格处应填系动词。词库中符合要求的只有remain，代入后表示“正是因为这些矿工的拼命工作才使优势人群得以保持所谓的优势”。
