Domestic violence is a serious crime causing serious social problems. It is violence at home, usually the husband beating his wife or the father beating his children. The victims, the wife and the children, suffer both physically and spiritually. Children develop trauma as a result of exposure to domestic violence. They also develop wet-bedding problems, too.
The speaker was regularly beaten up by her former husband and often had black eyes and bruises on her body. She suffered terribly and finally got divorced. Many women feel guilty and assume that they are to blame because they cannot understand how the person they love has changed into such a terrifying person. The first possible reason for the domestic violence is that the husband is not happy with the marriage. The second one may be that he is dissatisfied with his job. The third will probably be that he has bad relationships with other people. Fourth, his unemployment may also contribute to "domestic violence". Last but not least, he may be off- balanced because of dissatisfaction with society as a whole.
Different people may offer different solutions to the problems. Some say that we had better start a kind of special service educating abusive husbands or fathers and helping them to overcome psychological barriers in their life. Some suggest that the wife should try very hard to show understanding for her husband while at the same time make him know that he must respect women’s rights. They should try hard to help their husbands to adapt to the changing world around them. Many others advocate that the abusive husband or father should be punished.
We are all more aware of domestic violence these days. It is impossible to assess whether the incidence of violence has increased or whether it is simply that people are more willing to talk about it than they were in the past. Victims do not, however, find it easy enough to bring their problems out into the open. But they must, not only for themselves but also for their children and even for their abusive partners.
The word "abusive" in line 2, paragraph 3 can be best replaced by ______.
选项
A、violent
B、impolite
C、cruel
D、scolded
答案
D
解析
第三段的最后一句话中,abusive被用来修饰丈夫和父亲,显然它表达的是受到责备的意思。A项是“猛烈的”意思,B项意思是“不礼貌的”,而C项的意思是“残忍的”,都不符合题意,故选D。
