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 designed lots of appropriate swimwear for women.
B、She once successfully competed against men in swimming.
C、She was the first woman to swim across the English Channel.
D、She was an advocate of women’ s right to swim in public pools.
答案
C
解析
题干问的是关于格特鲁德-埃德尔我们了解到什么。短文中提到,格特鲁德-埃德尔是第一位成功横渡英吉利海峡的女士,而且她还打破了纪录,故答案为C(她是第一位成功游过英吉利海峡的女士)。A项(她为女性设计了很多套合适的泳装)、B项(她有一次在游泳方面打败了男性)和D项(她呼吁女性有权在公共游泳池游泳)均与原文不符,短文中提到1901年女性赢得了在公共游泳池游泳的权利,学会了正确地游泳,设计了合适的泳装,并可以与男性竞争,但这些并不是格特鲁德-埃德尔做的,故排除。
