问题     Developing a peaceful, understanding, and supportive relationship between parents and children is not an easy task. Failures can and do occur at any age level, and at times the results are the abuse, neglect, and even death of children.
    Child abuse has become a major topic in child development and an issue of much national concern. In the span of four legislative years, 1963-1967, all fifty states enacted laws calling for the reporting of injuries inflicted on children. By 1973, the United States Congress passed the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act(Public Law 93-247). This law not only reflected the mood of concerned citizens, but it also did much to clear up the confusion and disagreement over what is child abuse.
    The question "what causes child abuse?" has prompted much debate. The single most persistent myth which had plagued efforts to understand causes is the notion that parents who abuse children are mentally disturbed or ill. Although there is no specific psychiatric diagnosis which comprises the behavior and personalities of abuser, they seem to share a common style of child rearing. Those parents demand high levels of child performance and they often use severe physical punishment to ensure the child’s proper behavior. Abusive parents themselves were raised In similar family situations and their own childhood experience has a lasting influence on their behavior as adults.
    Current research has suggested, however, that the "abuser is sick" hypothesis is too limited. A broader social, psychological approach recognizes that some personal problems are implicit but that psychological factors arise out of a social context. Social factors include unemployment, social isolation, and unwanted pregnancy. Moreover, findings that abuse occurs more frequently in larger families and families with low income, poor education, and low occupational status suggest that many such parents cannot withstand the twenty-four-hour-a-day responsibility to raise and care for their children. These problems aggravate the situation, especially when combined with the general approval in our culture of violence.
Which of the following statements is the author likely to agree with?
选项 A、Violence on TV may contribute lo child abuse.
B、Medical doctors are largely lo blame for unreported cases of child abuse.
C、The media should not describe the details of child abuse cases.
D、Violence in our society is acceptable unless children are victims.
答案A
解析 作者可能会同意以下哪项叙述?最后一段：These problems aggravate the situation，especially whencombined with the general approval in our culture of violence．通过这句话可知，这些问题加剧了“虐童现象”，再加上我们文化中得到普遍认可的暴力行为，这种情况就更严重了。据此判断，答案是A。
