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?

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.

选项 A、disguised
B、disturbed
C、disputed
D、distinguished
答案D
解析 形容词辨析。本句的意思是“G. I. Joe拥有——的军旅生涯，曾和德国人，日本人以及朝鲜人作战”。distinguished意为“卓越的，著名的”，符合语境，故D项为正确答案。disguised意为“假装的，隐蔽的”；disturbed意为“扰乱的”，disputed意为“有争议的”；均不符合题意。
