What were British people interested in the 1890s?
Do you like collecting postcards? Many people like the pictures on the postcards.
In Britain in the 1890s there was a postcard "popular fashion". People formed clubs and collected and exchanged postcards. Even Queen Victoria had her own private collection.
When Edward was the King, the British had a cheap and good postal system. If anyone wanted to tell a friend that they were coming for tea in the afternoon, they would send a postcard in the morning. "Drop me a card" was as common then as "give me a ring" is today.
In 1902 an important step was taken. The government said that half of the side that was used for the address on the postcard could be used for message, and the whole of the other side could be used for a picture. It was then the simple postcard, as we know, was created.
选项
A、In 1819.
B、In 1902.
C、In 1912.
答案
B
解析
独白第九句中提到了一个时间数词1902,说那一年迈进了重要一步;而在独白最后一句又指出现在这种形式的明信片产生了。由它们的对应关系可知答案是[B]事实上,整个独白中只涉及了1890和1902两个时间,较易确定答案。
