her autobiography, mighty be our powers, within six months of that party in 1989, everything around her was goneher country torn apart by civil war, her family broken, her plans abandoned. and gbowee never became a doctor. gbowee saw civilians murdered before her eyes. she fled with relatives from one shelter to another, often went hungry. upon returning to liberia in 1991, she saw a terrible sight: everyone had fled, leaving their homes to the fighters.yet her spirit wouldnt die. she began studying under a unicef program. finally, with her familys help, she imagined a movement of women demanding peace in liberia and made it happen. traveling from village to village, gbowee began organizing women and persuaded women of different cultures to unite; under her leadership, thousands of women were dressed all in white to symbolize peace. gbowee writes:“we were silent before, but after so many of us have been killed, fallen with diseases, and lost our children and families, war has taught us that the future lies in saying no to violence and yes to peace!”the women had reason to fear, but gbowee had no choice. then women could register to vote. ellen johnson sirleaf became africas first female president in 2005.gbowees work was just beginning. she now travels the world, meeting with everyone from presidents to ceos to people living in tiny villages, fighting for women

gbowee在自己美好的生活被战争破坏后,没有放弃,而是不断努力,为人权、为妇女儿童权益而斗争,最终成为非洲一名主要的女权运动人物,并荣获2011年诺贝尔和平奖。21.d根据第2段第4句“and gbowee never became a doctor”可推知她计划成为doctor,即pediatrician。22.b根据第2段中的“she fled with relatives from one shelter to another, often went hungry”可知,gbowee和她的亲戚一起从一家避难所逃到另一家,还常常挨饿。由此可推知gbowee过的是一种漂泊的(unsettled)生活。23.a根据第3段中的“yet her spirit wouldnt die”以及对她从事的女权运动的叙述可知,内战没有让gbowee消沉,而是增强了她的信心和意志。24.a根据最后一段中的“gbowees work was just beginning”可知,gbowee的工作还有很长的路要走。bin wiltshire, england, volunteers are being sought to visit a nature protection area

americans in the black hills of south dakota, where shes leading the effort to literally move a mountain.declared as the worlds largest sculpture, crazy horse is only a 20-mile drive from better-known mount rushmore, where faces of presidents george washington, abraham lincoln, thomas jefferson and theodore roosevelt are carved into granite (花岗岩). a few more miles down the road is pine ridge reservation, a mostly poor land.pine ridge is where many sioux indians were put after they were caught by the us army and lost their traditional lands. unhappy that a monument to white leaders was carved into mountains the sioux considered sacred (神圣的), lakota sioux elder chief henry standing bear invited korczak ziolkowski to pine ridge, who won the new york worlds fair sculpture prize in 1939.they decided to carve a rival (与之匹敌的) monument to native americans featuring crazy horse, a sioux fighter who helped lead the indians to one of the most famous indian victories over the us army in 1876.korczak ziolkowski began working on the granite mountain along with volunteers including young ruth ross from connecticut. ruth and korczak were married in 1950.many people thought korczaks plan was indeed crazy. stubbornly independent, korczak accepted only private donations. he designed a monument much larger than mount rushmore, with the fighter on horseback.some native americans opposed the project. they said henry standing bear had no authority to invite korczak to carve the monument, and that it was desecrating (亵渎) the black hills. korczak worked on the mountain for years and died in 1982, 16 years before the giant face of crazy horse was completed in 1998.the project has expanded, with a visitor center including a museum, restaurant and gift shop, and many other
