词义辨析【直击答案】本空格所在句是To the men and women who 1 in World War II and the people they liberated。空格中需要填入一个动词，该动词所在的定语从句修饰限定其先行词the men and women,由定语从句中the people they liberated…意为“被他们解放的人”，再结合前面World War II，可判断出答案应为B项served。serve in the war意为“服兵役，当兵”。【命题思路】本题根据上下文语义信息做出判断，同时也考查对相近含义词汇的辨析。【干扰排除】纵观四个选项都是动词，所以就要分析词义，如果不认识这几个词，此题的难度就会变大。A项perform作及物动词时多为“履行，完成”，后面需要带宾语，其次带入句中意为“二战中执行的男男女女”，执行什么不得知，可以排除。C项rebel带入句中意为“二战中反抗的男男女女”，意思和下文无法衔接。D项betray带入句中意为“二战中背叛的男男女女”，也排除。
