答案
1--3 ADB
解析
本文是介绍英国民间风俗的文章:十九世纪英国妇女游泳的情况。
1.细节理解题。短文第三、四两句这样交代:Women did not walk about on the beach in their bathing dresses. They hired a bathing machine.(妇女们不穿她们浴用连衣裙在沙滩上步行。他们租用一台洗浴机。)从此可知使用洗浴机的人就是洗浴的妇女。故A是正确的答案。
2.细节理解题。文章第五句说上A bathing machine was used for changing in…(洗浴机被用来更换服装……)显然,在这个机器里更衣是为使洗澡人在下水之前不被人看见了。
3.细节理解题,只是要与整篇文章所提供的活动顺序联系起来,其活动的顺序正是该题检测的内容:付钱、租车、换衣、去沙滩、出洗浴机、下水。所以B项是正确的答案。
