Why Do Brides Wear White
In many societies the color white has been associated with purity and virtue, and that is one reason why some brides choose to wear white, especially in the West. Usually, you will hear that brides wear white because “it’s a tradition”. But, historically, white was not the only color considered for wedding dresses. 36.
For many centuries in Western societies, wedding dresses had different colors. 37. Brides tended to buy a wedding dress that could be worn again, or they simply wore the best dress they already owned. And white is not practical: it is difficult to keep clean and is therefore not ideal for many situations or for repeated wear.
Many brides chose to wear dresses of other colors for their wedding and beyond. 38. They do so largely thanks to a trend that started with Queen Victoria’s 1840 wedding to Prince Albert.
39. Although not in as many different media as we have now, they still had a tendency to be trendsetting. So Victoria chose to wear a white gown (女礼服)—reportedly to show off the fine detailed Honiton lace produced by the British lace industry, which was depressed at the time. Her fashion choice was widely reported in newspapers and magazines. 40. Eventually, the trend of a white wedding gown spread across all economic levels and it was strengthened as “tradition” in the 20th century. A.So why do so many of today’s brides wear white? B.But why are brides so particular about their dresses? C.Royal weddings in those years received a lot of reporting.
D.It reflected the growth of the wedding industry at that time. E.It soon influenced domestic and international wedding trends. F.In fact, other colors were chosen far more frequently than white. G.This was for reasons of being practical as much as anything else. 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分) 第一节 (共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)
