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?

C、They were prohibited from swimming.
D、They were fully dressed when swimming.
答案
D
解析
题干问的是关于维多利亚时期的女性我们了解到什么。短文中提到,维多利亚时期的女性虽受保守观念的限制,但她们仍然游泳,她们游泳时全身着装整齐,甚至带着伞,故答案为D(她们游泳时穿得整整齐齐)。A项(她们喜欢在海边度假)在短文中并未提及,故排除。B项(她们有着独特的保守观念)与短文内容不符,短文中说的是维多利亚时期人们普遍的保守观念,并不是女性独有的保守观念,故排除。C项(她们被禁止游泳)与短文内容不符,短文中提到女性虽受保守观念的约束,但她们仍然游泳。由此可知,女性未被禁止游泳,故排除。
