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.
【C15】
选项 A、ruined
B、commuted
C、patrolled
D、gained
答案D
解析 本动词所在的句子由or连接前后两个平行对应的信息，因此可以推断出本填空所选择的动词与captured or liberated(攻占，解放)具有类似的性质，参照这些已知信息，D项gained(获取)最合适，因为gained表达的也是战争成果，即获得了多少英里的进展，与what towns were captured or liberated是最为近似的概念。A项mined(毁灭)、B项commuted(通勤)和C项patrolled (巡逻)在语法上虽然可以搭配，但不符合原文提示信息所要表达的意思。
