The researchers asked study participants about physical abuse and non-physical 6 such as threats that made them 7 for3 their safety, controlling behavior (for example, being told who they could associate with and where they could go), and constant name-calling.

5．D前面出現(xiàn)的是men一詞，與其對應的應是them．
6．C前面出現(xiàn)了physical abuse，與其并列自然應是non．physical abuse。

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。

14．B本句中前面出現(xiàn)了表示比較的more一詞，此處自然應選than一詞。
