解析 词义辨析【直击答案】本空格所在句是His reports__16__the“willie”cartoons of famed Stars and Stripes artist Bill Maulden.该句后面一句开头Both为关键词,表明“两者都……”的含义,可推断出本句中所提到his reports和the“willie”cartoons有相似点、共同点。四个选项中只有含A项有“和……相似”的含义。【命题思路】本题考查考生对上下文的理解。【干扰排除】下一句开头both一词可提示两者是有共同点的。C项duplicated意为“复制”,有一定的干扰性,但显然报道与漫画两者之间无法复制。B项counteracted“抵抗,抵消”和D项contradicted“反驳,否定”都含有“与……相反”之意,不符合上下文信息,故排除。
