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.
We can know from the second paragraph that the law passed by 1973____.
选项 A、received little attention from the public
B、was condemned by abusive parents
C、was aimed to expand welfare programs of the United States
D、helped much in clarifying the problem
答案D
解析 题目问：从第二段我们可以知道，1973年通过的法律怎么样?第二段最后两句“By 1973，the UnitedStates Congress passed the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act(Public Law 93—247)．This lawnot only reflected the mood of concerned citizens，but it also did much to clear up the confusion and disagreement over what is child abuse，”通过这段话可知，在1973年，美国国会通过了《虐待儿童的预防和治疗法(公法93-247)》。这部法律不仅反映出市民的忧心忡忡，而且它解决了人们在“什么是虐待儿童”这个问题上困惑和分歧。据此判断，答案是D。
