Millions of Americans and foreigners see G. I. Joe as a mindless war toy, the symbol of American military adventurism, but that’ s not how it used to be. 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 name isn’ t much. G. I. is just a military abbreviation (7) Government Issue, and it was on all of the articles (8) to soldiers. And Joe? A common name for a guy who never (9) it to the top. Joe Blow, Joe Palooka, Joe Magrac... a working class name. The United States has (10) had a president or vice-president or secretary of state Joe.
G. I. Joe had a (11) career fighting German, Japanese, and Korean troops. He appears as a character, or a (12) of American personalities, in the 1945 movie The Story of G. I. Joe, based on the last days of war correspondent Ernie Pyle. Some of the soldiers Pyle (13) portrayed themselves in the film. Pyle was famous for covering the (14) side of the war, writing about the dirt-snow-and-mud soldiers, not how many miles were (15) or what towns were captured or liberated. 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. (19) Egypt, France, and a dozen more countries, G. I. Joe was any American soldier, (20) the most important person in their lives.
选项
A、paralleled
B、counteracted
C、duplicated
D、contradicted
答案
A
解析
动词辨析。根据空格后一句中的Both men(两者都)可以确定他的报道与Bill Maulden的漫画是类似的,A项paralleled意为“与……相当”,符合语境,故为正确答案。counteract表示“对抗,抵消”;duplicate表示“复制”;contradict表示“反驳,与……矛盾”,均不合题意。
