问题    The image of a veiled bride walking down the aisle on her father’s arm could become a thing of the past as a growing trend for "feminist weddings" has been detected among modern brides to be. Doing away with the engagement ring, choosing not to be "given away like property" and wearing a colour other than white are key themes gaining traction in the feminist wedding trend.
   The findings, revealed in a survey of 200 brides to be, revealed that almost a quarter of women planned on keeping their maiden name after marriage, while one in 10 were planning to wear a colour other than white on their wedding day. Traditions such as the wearing of an engagement ring are also increasingly being rejected by brides who feel it is anti-feminist with such an obvious token to be worn on the finger marking the woman in question as "taken" . The tradition of wearing a veil is being similarly rejected, as some women believe it plays into the idea that a woman is "revealed" to her husband as the virgin bride.
   However, while there is undoubtedly a stirring among young brides to be, parents can take comfort in the fact that while some women are beginning to push back against the patriarchy, the majority are still keen to uphold certain traditions, with 76 percent of brides saying they really would like their father to walk them down the aisle.
   Elki Parmar who conducted the survey, said: "Some of the brides we have spoken to are doing things that they feel make their wedding more ’feminist’." That could be reflected by deciding not be given away, the idea being that one of the connotations of this tradition is that the woman is property to be given away. Other brides are choosing not to wear white on their wedding day as a woman’s white wedding dress traditionally carries connotations of virginal innocence whereas what the groom wears on his wedding day is not perceived to be symbolic, creating somewhat of an imbalance from some feminist perspectives.
   For many, traditions are still part of the ceremony but not because of reasons which may be perceived as anti-feminist. For example, the bride will often want her father to "give" her away, not because of anti-feminist reasons but because she loves her father and wants to display that love on her wedding day.

What is the author’s attitude toward "feminist weddings"?
选项 A、Supportive.
B、Opposed.
C、Uninterested.
D、Objective.
答案D
解析 态度题。此题需对文章有一个整体的理解与判断。文章首段引出讨论话题——西方现代女性的婚礼越来越充满女权主义色彩。第二段陈述各种反传统婚礼的表现形式。第三段作者笔锋一转，说还是有人坚持某些传统的。第四段阐明反传统婚礼的原因。第五段指出，许多女性仍会坚持一些传统仪式，但不意味着反女权主义。由此可知，作者自始至终保持一种客观的态度，并未加入个人色彩。故D项“客观的”为正确答案。
