问题     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【C1】________in World War Ⅱ and the people they liberated, the G.I. was the【C2】________man grown into hero, the poor farm kid torn away from his home, the guy who【C3】________all the burdens of battle, who slept in cold foxholes, who went without the【C4】________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,【C5】________an average guy, up【C6】________the best trained, best equipped, fiercest, most brutal enemies seen in centuries.
    His name isn’t much. G.I. is just a military abbreviation【C7】________Government Issue, and it was on all of the articles【C8】________to soldiers. And Joe? A common name for a guy who never【C9】________it to the top. Joe Blow, Joe Palooka. Joe Magrac… a working class name. The United States has【C10】________had a president or vice-president or secretary of state Joe.
    G.I. Joe had a【C11】________career fighting German, Japanese, and Korean troops. He appears as a character, or a【C12】________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【C13】________portrayed themselves in the film. Pyle was famous for covering the【C14】________side of the war, writing about the dirt-snow-and-mud soldiers, not how many miles were【C15】________or what towns were captured or liberated. His reports【C16】________ the "Willie" cartoons of famed Stars and Stripes artist Bill Maulden. Both men【C17】________the dirt and exhaustion of war, the【C18】________of civilization that the soldiers shared with each other and the civilians: coffee, tobacco, whiskey, shelter, sleep.【C19】________Egypt, France, and a dozen more countries, G.I. Joe was any American soldier,【C20】________the most important person in their lives.
【C2】
选项 A、actual
B、common
C、special
D、normal
答案B
解析 本填空考查形容词辨析，被修饰成分是man，句子的主语是the G. I.，本形容词实际是定义the G. I. 的性质，即the G. I. 是什么样的人。而本句子又是处于一组平行对应的句群之中，这些句子都是对the G. I. 的描述，考生只要对比这些平行句子之间的对应性成分，就能找到本填空的已知参照信息，本填空对应的就是the poor farm kid，根据这个已知的对应信息，很容易判断出最佳选项是B项common(普通的)，common man即普通人，这个概念与the poor farm kid性质上最为一致。C项special表示“特殊的”，恰恰与文章的主旨倾向相悖，本文强调the G. I. 是普通大众，并不特殊。D项normal表示“正常的”，即“正常人”，与“不正常的人”是相对概念，而非普通人的意思，不符合本文要表达的概念。A项actual表示“实际的，真实的”，这个意思与本文题意无关。
