Women Staying in Mini-Skirts for Longer
British women are happy nowadays to wear mini-skirts up until the age of 40, according to research by Debenhams.
Just 20 years ago, few women would dare to wear a mini-skirt after the age of 33, the store said. "It shows that women now have an increasing confidence in their bodies and are happy to dress accordingly," it added in a statement. "If this trend continues, there's no doubt that, within the next decade, women in their mid 40s and early 50s will rightly regard a mini-skirt as an essential part of their everyday wardrobe."
The figures emerged when the store examined the latest age profile of women buying short, 36-cm skirts over the past six months. Their results show that it has jumped from an average age of 36-year-old at the start of millennium (千禧年) to 40 today. Figures from 1980 showed that on average women stopped buying minis when they reached 33 years old -- a figure unchanged from the mid-1960s.
The store noted that experts believe that the popularity of intensive gym (健身房) culture, providing women with well toned bodies for longer may be the reason. The increasing number of British women living on their own may also be a factor.
The Debenhams' study showed that a modern woman's love affair with a mini-skirt begins at the age of 14 but that she doesn't buy her first one until the age of 16. Instead, she flouts school rules by rolling up the waistband of the school uniform to give the impression of wearing a mini skirt.
Skirts get shorter between the ages of 16 and 19, reducing in size from 46 to 36cm before reaching their shortest, a mere 32 cm, at the age of 23. Skirt length increases slightly between the ages of 23 and 27, rising to 37 cm, possibly due to girls being in their fast stable relationship, with no desire to attract attention, the store said.
However, it found short skirts suddenly zoom in popularity between the ages of 27 and 34, as those early relationships break down, and new relationships are formed. The move into longer skirts begins irreversibly at 40 years old, when 46-cm skirts, still slightly above the knee are the norm. From then on, skirt length increases dramatically, falling below the knee for the very first time since school days at the age of 42.
The word "zoom" in the first sentence of the last paragraph can be best replaced by()
选项
A.soar.
B.decrease.
C.hold steady.
D.drop.
答案
A
解析
词汇题。句意:最后一段第一个句子中“zoom”意思为____ 。该词所在句意为“但 是,研究发现迷你裙的流行在27岁到34岁之间突然____,因为那时那些人结束了一段关系而开始新关系”。从“但是”可知与前面的句子是转折关系,前面说的是27岁之 间,女性所穿着的超短裙长度从32cm渐增至37cm,主要是因为这个阶段她们普遍有了 稳定的恋爱关系”,所以可知27岁到34岁时,迷你裙又开始流行了,因此zoom意为“迅速增长”,故A是最佳答案。
