When did the first award ceremony take place? [br]
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 in1895, 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. [11]Sixty-seven years after the first award ceremony, Economics was added in 1968. 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. [12] Every year on December 10, the anniversary of Nobel’s death, the awards are presented to the winners. Sometimes politics plays an important role in the judge’s decision. [13] 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 prizes.
选项
A、Awards vary in monetary value.
B、Ceremonies are held on December 10 to commemorate Nobel’s invention.
C、Politics can play an important role in selecting the winners.
D、A few individuals have won two awards.
答案
B
解析
根据短文所说,12月10号是诺贝尔的逝世(death)纪念日,而不是纪念他的发明,故B的表述不对,为答案。
