1.1.

A served

B performed

C rebelled

D betrayed

解析：选A。 1. A. served 考察动词搭配与上下文语义。此处指“在二战中服役的男男女女”，“serve in the war”为固定搭配。其他选项：B. performed（表现）需接具体任务；C. rebelled（反叛）、D. betrayed（背叛）均与文意相反。

2.2.

A actual

B common

C special

D normal

解析：选B。 2. B. common 考察形容词与上下文逻辑。后文“the poor farm kid”说明G.I. Joe代表普通人，且与下句“average guy”呼应。A. actual（实际的）、C. special（特殊的）、D. normal（正常的）均不如“common man”（普通人）符合历史语境。

3.3.

A loaded

B eased

C removed

D bore

解析：选D。 3. D. bore 考察动词固定搭配。“bear burdens”（承担负担）为常见表达。A. loaded（装载）常与“with”连用；B. eased（减轻）、C. removed（移除）与语境矛盾。

4.4.

A necessities

B facilities

C commodities

D properties

解析：选A。 4. A. necessities 考察名词与语境。后文“food and shelter”（食物和住所）属于生活必需品。B. facilities（设施）、C. commodities（商品）、D. properties（财产）均不准确。

5.5.

A and

B nor

C but

D hence

解析：选C。 5. C. but 考察并列连词逻辑。前文“not a volunteer... not someone well paid”与后文“an average guy”形成转折对比。A. and（并列）、B. nor（也不）、D. hence（因此）不合逻辑。

6.6.

A for

B into

C from

D against

解析：选D。 6. D. against 考察介词搭配。“up against”为固定短语，意为“面对（挑战或敌人）”。其他选项无法体现“与强大敌人对抗”的语义。

7.7.

A implying

B meaning

C symbolizing

D claiming

解析：选B。 7. B. meaning 考察动词用法。“mean”可表示“意指”，直接解释缩写含义。A. implying（暗示）需间接表达；C. symbolizing（象征）指代表抽象概念；D. claiming（声称）强调主观主张。

8.8.

A handed out

B turned over

C brought back

D passed down

解析：选A。 8. A. handed out 考察动词短语。指“发放给士兵的物品”。B. turned over（移交）、C. brought back（带回）、D. passed down（传承）均不符合物资分发场景。

9.9.

A pushed

B got

C made

D managed

解析：选C。 9. C. made 考察动词固定搭配。“make it to the top”意为“晋升至顶层/取得成功”。其他选项：A. pushed（推动）需接努力；B. got（得到）不接“it”；D. managed（设法）常接不定式。

10.10.

A ever

B never

C either

D neither

解析：选B。 10. B. never 考察副词与上下文逻辑。前文强调“Joe”是普通工人阶级名字，此处说明美国从未有名为Joe的总统等高官，加强“平凡”含义。A. ever（曾经）与文意相反。

11.11.

A disguised

B disturbed

C disputed

D distinguished

解析：选D。 11. D. distinguished 考察形容词。“distinguished career”意为“杰出的职业生涯”。A. disguised（伪装的）、B. disturbed（扰乱的）、C. disputed（有争议的）均不符合G.I. Joe的战斗功绩。

12.12.

A company

B community

C collection

D colony

解析：选C。 12. C. collection 考察名词与语境。“a collection of American personalities”指“美国人格特质的集合”。A. company（公司；陪伴）、B. community（社区）、D. colony（殖民地）均不准确。

13.13.

A employed

B appointed

C interviewed

D questioned

解析：选C。 13. C. interviewed 考察动词与背景知识。战地记者Ernie Pyle以采访士兵著称。A. employed（雇用）、B. appointed（任命）、D. questioned（质问）不符合记者工作性质。

14.14.

A human

B military

C political

D ethical

15.15.

C patrolled

D gained

16.16.

A paralleled

B counteracted

C duplicated

D contradicted

解析：选A。 16. A. paralleled 考察动词与逻辑关系。指Pyle的报道与Maulden的漫画“类似/平行”。B. counteracted（抵消）、C. duplicated（复制）、D. contradicted（矛盾）均不符合作者意图。

17.17.

A neglected

B emphasized

C avoided

D admired

解析：选B。 17. B. emphasized 考察动词与上下文。后文列举士兵分享的细节，说明二者都“强调”战争的艰辛。A. neglected（忽略）、C. avoided（避免）、D. admired（钦佩）不合文意。

18.18.

A stages

B illusions

C fragments

D advances

解析：选C。 18. C. fragments 考察名词隐喻。“fragments of civilization”指战争中残存的文明片段（如咖啡、烟草）。A. stages（阶段）、B. illusions（幻觉）、D. advances（进步）不贴合“分享小事物”的语境。

19.19.

A With

B To

C Among

D Beyond

A on the contrary

B by this means

C from the outset

D at that point

解析：选D。 20. D. at that point 考察短语逻辑。指“在彼时彼地，G.I. Joe是他们生命中最重要的人”。A. on the contrary（相反）、B. by this means（通过这种方式）、C. from the outset（从一开始）均不契合时间语境。
