1. C 【解析】continue doing sth意为“继续做某事”，为固定搭配。

【分析】首先定位题干中的关键词动词continue，回忆其常用搭配：continue doing sth意为“继续做同一件事”，continue to do sth意为“继续做另一件事”。本题语境为“音乐突然停止时玛丽继续唱歌”，是继续做之前正在做的事，因此需用continue doing的结构。再分析选项：A为动词三单形式、B为过去式、D为过去分词，均不符合搭配要求，只有C为动名词形式，符合搭配规则，故答案为C。
【解析】本题考查固定搭配。“continue doing sth”是固定用法，用于表示继续做之前正在做的事。题干中表达音乐停止时玛丽继续唱歌，符合该搭配的语境，因此需使用sing的动名词形式singing，对应选项C。
【答案】C
【知识点】固定搭配；非谓语动词
【点评】本题考查动词continue的固定搭配，属于英语基础考点，只要掌握该固定用法即可轻松解答，是日常考试中的常见基础题。
