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、Water sports.
B、Racing in rivers.
C、Stories about women swimmers.
D、Books about swimming.
答案
D
解析
题干问的是最近什么流行起来了。短文中提到,人们常常把生命比作水,这可能是人们的生活变得起伏不定时他们在游泳中得到解脱的一个原因,这也在某种程度上解释了为什么关于游泳的书籍最近变得很流行,故答案为D(关于游泳的书)。A项(水上运动)和C项(关于女子游泳运动员的故事)在短文中均未提及,故排除。B项(河中比赛)与原文不符,短文中说的是关于人们在河中比赛的书,故排除。
