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.
Questions:
What great achievements have been made since mid 1970s?
选项
A、Many activists have established lots of local groups to help the beaten women.
B、Plenty of temporary homes for the victims and their children have been set up.
C、The police and the courts now treat this problem with more serious attitude.
D、All of the above.
答案
D
解析
第4题问自20世纪70年代中期以来人们取得了什么重大进步。此题是具体细节题,可利用查阅式阅读在文章最后一段的第一句话中找到重点提示数字1970s。仔细阅读一下相关的上下文,我们可以看到作者指出自20世纪70年代中期开始,人们开始了反对家庭暴力的运动,许多参与运动的人都是受过殴打的妇女。从那时起,人们已经取得了很大的进步。参与活动的人为受害妇女和她们的孩子提供了许多临时住所,她们组织建成了几百个当地团体。法律制度方面也得到了改进,警察和法院现在都很重视这个问题。在美国的26个州里,警察都必须逮捕殴妻者,即使在被打者不愿合作的情况下,警察也必须逮捕殴打妻子的人。由此,我们可以推断出,本题的正确答案是D。
