After inventing dynamite, Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive powers too late. Nobel preferred not to be remembered as the inventor of dynamite, so in 1895, just two weeks before his death, he created a fund to be used for awarding prizes to people who had made worthwhile contributions to mankind. Originally there were five awards: literature, physics, chemistry, medicine and peace. Economics was added in 1968, just sixty-seven years after the first awards ceremony.
Nobel’s original legacy of nine million dollars was invested, and the interest on this sum is used for the awards which vary from 30,000 to 125,000.
Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards(gold medal, illuminated diploma and money) are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judge’s decisions. Americans have won numerous science awards, but relatively few literature prizes.
No awards were presented from 1940 to 1942 at the beginning of World War Ⅱ. Some people have won two prizes, but this is rare; others have shared their prizes.
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
选项
A、Awards vary in monetary value.
B、Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel’s inventions.
C、Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.
D、A few individuals have won two awards.
答案
B
解析
本题属判断正误题。文章第三段第一句已明确点明:在每年的12月10日,举行诺贝尔颁奖典礼,就是为了纪念他的去世。
