In 1847 most countries of the world were ______. [br]
(20[D])Any mistake made in the printing of a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one cheap postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.
The mistake was made more than a hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean. (18[A])In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London primer — Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.
Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. (19[B])He wrote by chance the words "Post Office" instead of "Post Paid" on the several hundred stamps that he printed.
Today there are only 26 of these wrongly printed stamps left — fourteen One Penny Orange-Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blue’s rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as $16,800 for it.
选项
A、all correctly printed stamps are Worthless
B、Mauritius needed the stamps to send out invitations to a ball
C、the printer was punished for his mistake
D、collectors are constantly looking for stamps with mistakes
答案
D
解析
推理题。短文中第一句说:对邮票收藏家来说任何邮票上的印刷错误都会提升邮票的自身价值。一张便宜邮票上的一个mistake会使邮票的value高于其本值百万倍,所以收藏家会寻找这样的邮票。
