There is something about water that makes it a good metaphor for life. That may be one reason why so many people find relief in swimming when life seas get rough. [12] And it goes some way towards explaining why books about swimming, in which people tackle icy lakes, race in rivers, and overcome oceans while reflecting on their lives have recently become so popular.
These books reflect a trend, particularly strong in Britain, where swimming in pools is declining, but more and more folks are opting for open water. While swimming seems to be especially popular among women, [13] Jenny Landreth recently published a guide to the best swimming spots in London. Her new book Swell interweaves her own story with a history of female pioneers who accomplished remarkable feats and paved the way for future generations. Notions of modesty restricted women in the Victorian era, but they still swam. A bathing machine was rolled down to the sea shore, so women would not be seen in swimwear. [14] In 1892, the gentle woman’ s book of sport described a woman swimming in a heavy dress, boots, hat, gloves, and carrying an umbrella.
Eventually, swimming became freer. A mixed bathing was permitted on British beaches in 1901. Women won the right to swim in public pools, learned to swim properly, created appropriate swimwear, and in time, even competed against men. [15] The first woman to cross the English Channel was Gertrude Ederle. In 1926, She beat the record by almost two hours and her father rewarded her with a red sports car.
Questions 12 to 15 are based on the passage you have just heard.
12. What has become so popular recently?
13. What did Jenny Landreth do recently?
14. What do we learn about women in the Victorian era?
15. What does the passage say about Gertrude Ederle?
选项
A、She succeeded in swimming across the English Channel.
B、She published a guide to London’ s best swimming spots.
C、She told her story of adventures to some young swimmers.
D、She wrote a book about the history of swimwear in the UK.
答案
B
解析
题干问的是詹妮·兰德雷思最近做了什么。短文中提到,詹妮-兰德雷思最近出版了一本介绍伦敦最佳游泳景点的书,故答案为B(她出版了一本伦敦最佳游泳景点指南)。A项(她成功横渡英吉利海峡)与短文内容不符,成功横渡英吉利海峡的是格特鲁德-埃德尔,故排除。C项(她向一些年轻的游泳运动员讲述了自己的冒险经历)和D项(她写了一本关于英国泳装史的书)在短文中均未提及,故排除。
