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  (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、ever
B、never
C、either
D、neither
答案B
解析 上下文语境。结合第9题的分析可知，空格所在句子实际上是进一步举例说明Joe没有取得大的成就：从来都不曾出现过叫Joe的总统、副总统、国务卿。根据句意只能选never，B项为正确答案。
