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 best describes the function of the second sentence("Although ... population")?
选项
A、It corrects a common misconception regarding the use of the bicycle in the mid-1890s.
B、It elaborates on a claim made in the previous sentence regarding a social consequence of the cycling boom.
C、It provides a context in which to understand the increased popularity of bicycle riding among privileged women.
D、It explains why cycling attracted such a significant cross section of women.
E、It describes the demographic characteristics of the consumer market for bicvcles in the mid-1890s.
答案
B
解析
The second sentence implies that the bicycle appealed at first only to "a few privileged women" but then "attracted a greater cross section of the female population," thus informing the reader that "the massive influx of women cyclists" mentioned in the previous sentence did not happen all at once. Since the influx of women cyclists is the social consequence of the cycling boom mentioned in the previous sentence, the highlighted sentence describes this consequence in more detail. Therefore, Choice B is correct. The second sentence does not correct any misconceptions(Choice A), provide help in understanding the appeal of the bicycle to privileged women(Choice C), explain the attraction cycling held for a significant cross section of women(Choice D), or describe demographic characteristics of the consumer market for bicycles(Choice E).
