To the men and women who (1) in World War Ⅱ and the people they liberated, the G. I. was the (2) man grown into hero, the poor farm kid torn away from his home, the guy who (3) all the burdens of battle, who slept in cold foxholes, who went without the (4) of food and shelter, who stuck it out and drove back the Nazi reign of murder. This was not a volunteer soldier, not someone well paid, (5) an average guy, up (6) the best trained, best equipped, fiercest, most brutal enemies seen in centuries.

His reports (16) the "Willie" cartoons of famed Stars and Stripes artist Bill Maul den. Both men (17) the dirt and exhaustion of war, the (18) of civilization that the soldiers shared with each other and the civilians: coffee, tobacco, whiskey, shelter, sleep.

选项
A、necessities
B、facilities
C、commodities
D、properties
答案
A
解析
名词辨析。food和shelter(食物和住所)是维持生存最起码的条件,由此可知本空所填的词应该表示“生活必需品”的意思,A项necessities意为“必需品”,符合题意,故为正确答案。facilities表示“设备,设施”,commodities表示“商品”,properties表示“财产”,均不符合题意。
