答案与题解：

1.B look at表示"观察、研究”。

2.B根据上下文可以推断,此处应选表示"经常”意思的often一词。

3.A这句话的意思是他们经常不说而我们也不问”。所以应用and一词连接两个并列成分。

4.C本段中的第一句已经出现过do experience的用法,表示"的确经历过”。

5.D前面出现的是men一词,与其对应的应是them。

6.C前面出现了physical abuse,与其并列自然应是non-physical abuse。

7.B既然是威胁,肯定会令他们为自身安全担忧,而fear for their safety正表示这样的意思。

8.A 从第一句中的violence at the hands of an intimate partner 就可以推断,此处应选violence 一词。

9.D因为前面提到了18～54岁的男人,因此此处应是55岁及55岁以上的男人。

10.C前面已经多次出现过domestic violence的搭配。

11.B前面已经多次出现过experience violence这一搭配,而上下文也表明此处表示的意思是男人"遭受的”家庭暴力。

12.C 用that 指代妇女遭受的physical violence。

13.A因为是在与男人做比较,所以应选women。

14.B本句中前面出现了表示比较的more一词,此处自然应选than一词。

15.C结果只能是"研究者”发现的。
