After inventing dynamite(炸药), Swedish-born Alfred Nobel became a very rich man. However, he foresaw its universally destructive power 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 contribution 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 literary 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.
In which area have Americans received the most awards?
选项
A、Literature
B、Peace
C、Economies
D、Science
答案
D
解析
第三段最后一句话:美国人获得了大量的科学奖,相比之下文学奖就屈指可数了。因此可以得出D项是正确答案。
