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、company
B、community
C、collection
D、colony
答案
C
解析
名词辨析。本句的意思是“他身上体现着美国人的某些特色,或身上结合了美国人的诸多特性”。collection意为“聚集;积聚物”,符合题意,故C项为正确答案。company意为“公司;伴随”;community意为“社区,社会;团体”;colony意为“殖民地”,均不符合题意。
