A trial has increased Americans’ interest in the problem of violence against women. O. J. Simpson has been accused of killing his former wife. Mrs. Simpson and a friend were stabbed to death outside her home in June, 1996. Reports say that Mrs. Simpson had called the police for help several times in the past few years. She reported that her husband had beaten her and she was afraid he would kill her. A jury was chosen, but it decided Mr. Simpson was not guilty.
Domestic violence against women, especially wife beating, is a social problem in the U. S. Medical experts say wife beating is the most serious health threat to American women. The government says more young American women have been injured by men they know than by strangers, and more women are injured in this way than in accidents. Experts say violence against women takes place in almost every social, economic, racial and religious group.
A federal crime study says that every year more than four million young American women are beaten severely. Most of the violence is done by their present or former husbands or by their boyfriends.
In the past, many women were afraid to discuss the problem. They did not want anybody to know they were beaten by their husbands or boyfriends. Police usually refused to arrest a man who beat his wife, and the court did not take the issue seriously. Wife beaters were rarely sent to jail. Many women refused to take action against their husbands or boyfriends because they knew they would face even greater violence if they did.
A serious movement against domestic violence began in the U. S. in the mid 1970s. Many activists were women who had been beaten. Since then great progress has been made. Activists have formed hundreds of local groups and set up many temporary homes for victims and their children. Progress has also been made in the justice system. Police and the courts now deal with the problem more seriously. In 26 states the police must now arrest wife beaters even if the victim does not cooperate.

第1题问文章的主题是什么。我们可以采用浏览式阅读法,重点关注文章的首尾段和每一段的首尾句,即可从中总结出本题的正确答案应是B:在美国对妇女的家庭暴力问题。文章第一段第一句话指出,对Simpson的审判引起了美国人对妇女承受家庭暴力这一问题的兴趣。然后作者介绍了Simpson夫人被杀的前后相关事情。第二段指出家庭暴力行为,特别是殴打妻子,在美国是一个社会问题。然后作者依次列举了医疗专家、政府和专家们对家庭暴力的看法。第三段介绍联邦政府的一项犯罪研究表明,每年大约有400多万美国的年轻女士受到严重殴打。而且大多数暴力行为来自于他们的丈夫、前夫或男朋友。第四段指出,过去许多妇女害怕讨论此事,原因有许多种。最后一段介绍从20世纪70年代中期开始,人们开始了反对家庭暴力运动,并采取了各种措施,取得了很大进步。因此,我们可以得出结论,本文的主题是关于美国的家庭暴力的问题。
