Nations whose people consume the most milk and dairy products, per capita, also win the most Nobel Prizes, per capita, according to a new study published in the British journal Practical Neurology. Take Sweden, the country most associated with the Nobel prizes. For every 10 million Swedes, there are 31.855 Nobel prizes.(23)The Swedes also consume about 350 kg of milk each, on average, over the course of a year, reported the Los Angeles Times.(22)At the bottom of the list is Japan. The country has won 0. 06 Nobel Prizes per 10 million people and the average person drinks less than 50 kg of milk per year. The United States came in around the middle with 10. 731 Nobel wins per 10 million people and a milk consumption of about 250kg per person per year.(24)The study’s authors set out to find a link between milk and Nobel Prizes after reading a report last year that associated consumption of chocolate with Nobel wins. Although they found an association between a nation’s milk and dairy consumption and the number of Nobel laureates, their study didn’t prove a cause-and-effect relationship, cautions US News & World Report. Instead, the authors suggest that milk consumption might be a reflection of a strong educational system. They also noted that milk is rich in vitamin D, which research has shown may boost brain power.(25)Interestingly, chocolate consumption turns out to be a better predictor of Nobel wins than milk—bad news for parents everywhere.
22. Which country is the least associated with the Nobel prizes?
23. How much milk do the Swedes consume each over the course of a year?
24. What can we learn about last year’s report?
25. Why does the speaker say "bad news for parents everywhere" in the end?

C、It noted milk is rich in Vitamin E which may boost brain power.
D、It found milk consumption, compared with chocolate consumption, is a better predictor of Nobel wins.

答案 B

解析 推理判断题。本题问的是对于去年的报告我们能得出什么结论。短文中指出,这项研究的作者们是读了去年关于巧克力消耗量和诺贝尔得奖率的研究才开始发现其与牛奶消耗量的关系。
