The massive influx of women cyclists—making up at least a third of the total market— was perhaps the most striking and profound social consequence of the mid-1890s cycling boom. Although the new, improved bicycle had appealed immediately to a few privileged women, its impact would have been modest had it not attracted a greater cross section of the female population. It soon became apparent that many of these pioneer women bicyclists had not taken up the sport as an idle pastime. Rather, they saw cycling as a noble cause to be promoted among all women as a means to improve the general female condition. Not only would cycling encourage healthy outdoor exercise, they reasoned, it would also hasten long-overdue dress reform. To feminists, the bicycle affirmed nothing less than the dignity and equality of women. [br] Which of the following statements about women cyclists is supported by the passage?
选项
A、The newly improved bicycle of the mid-1890s appealed mostly to women in a privileged position.
B、The great majority of women in the mid-1890s considered cycling an idle pastime.
C、Women bicyclists promoted cycling as a healthy form of outdoor exercise.
答案
C
解析
Choice C is correct. The question asks which of three statements about women cyclists are supported by the passage.
Choice A is incorrect: The second sentence of the passage states that the new bicycle appealed to a few privileged women right away, but then implies that it quickly "attracted a greater cross section of the female population."
Choice B is incorrect: The third sentence of the passage explicitly states that many women "had not taken up[bicycling]as an idle pastime."
Choice C is correct: The penultimate sentence of the passage implies that women bicyclists thought that cycling would "encourage healthy outdoor exercise."
