2015高考英语学案：阅读理解练习（6）及答案解析（8月） 【英语卷（解析）·2015届浙江省绍兴一中高三上学期回头考试（201409）】B The image of a veiled（用面纱遮盖bride walking down the aisle on her fathers arm could become a thing of the past as a growing trend for feminist（女权主义者） 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（牵引力） 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（记号） to be worn on the finger marking the woman in question as taken. 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（家长制）, the majority are still keen to uphold certain traditions, with 76 per cent of brides saying they really would like their father to walk them down the aisle. Elki Parmar of Wedding Days.co.uk, 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 （含义）of virginal innocence whereas what the groom wears on his wedding day is not perceived（意识到） to be symbolic, creating somewhat of an imbalance from some feminist perspectives”. 59． A．The B．The’s arm.
