You probably know who Marie Curie was, but you may not have heard of Rachel Carson. Of the outstanding ladies listed below, who do you think was the most important woman of the past 100 years?
Jane Addams (1860—1935)
Anyone who has ever been helped by a social worker has Jane Addams to thank. Addams helped the poor and worked for peace. She encouraged a sense of community by creating shelters and promoting education and services for people in need in 1931, Addams became the first American woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Rachel Carson (1907—1964)
If it weren’t for Rachel Carson, the environmental movement might not exist today. Her popular 1962 book Silent Spring raised awareness of the dangers of pollution and the harmful effects of chemicals on humans and on the world’s lakes and oceans.
Sandra Day O’Connor (1930—present)
When Sandra Day O’Connor finished third in her class at Stanford Law School, in 1952, she could not find work at a law firm because she was a woman. She became an Arizona state senator and in 1981, the first woman to join the U. S. Supreme Court. O’Connor gave the deciding vote in many important cases during her 24 years on the top court.
Rosa Parks (1913—2005)
On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a passenger. Her simple act landed Parks in prison. But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for more than a year, and kicked off the civil-rights movement. "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in", said Parks. [br] What can we infer about the women mentioned in the text?
选项
A、They are highly educated
B、They love the environment
C、They are pioneers
D、They are peace-lovers
答案

根据文章内容:简.亚当斯是美国第一个获得诺贝尔和平奖的女性;雷切尔.卡森的作品《寂静的春天》提高了人们对污染的危险性和化学物质对人类和世界湖泊与海洋的危害性的认识;桑德拉.戴.奥康纳是美国首位联邦最高法院女法官;罗莎.帕克斯在公共汽车上拒绝为乘客让座,拉开了民权运动的序幕。可知文中提到的几位女性都是先锋人物,故选C。
