答案與題解：

1.B look at表示“觀察、研究”。

2.根據上下文可以推斷,此處應選表示“經常”意思的often一詞。

3.A這句話的意思是他們經常不說而我們也不問”。所以應用and一詞連接兩個并列成分。

4.C本段中的第一句已經出現過do experience的用法,表示“的確經歷過”。

5.D前面出現的是men一詞,與其對應的應是them。

6.C前面出現了physical abuse,與其并列自然應是non-physical abuse。

7.B既然是威脅,肯定會令他們為自身安全擔憂,而fear for their safety正表示這樣的意思。

8.A 從第一句中的violence at the hands of an intimate partner 就可以推斷,此處應選violence 一詞。

9.D因為前面提到了18～54歲的男人,因此此處應是55歲及55歲以上的男人。

10.C前面已經多次出現過domestic violence的搭配。

11.B前面已經多次出現過experience violence這一搭配,而上下文也表明此處表示的意思是男人“遭受的”家庭暴力。

12.C 用that 指代婦女遭受的physical violence。

13.A因為是在與男人做比較,所以應選women。

14.B本句中前面出現了表示比較的more一詞,此處自然應選than一詞。

15.C結果只能是“研究者”發現的。
