【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文]
W: When did you become interested in collecting stamps?
M: Oh, when I was about ten years old.
W: Ten years old? So you have loved it for 9 years.
M: Yeah, it's really an exciting hobby. You know, the first postage stamps were issued in Britain in 1840.
W: Really? I didn't know that. What's on the first postage stamps?
M: Well, look, here's a picture of the first two stamps issued.
W: Oh, they both bear a picture of Queen Victoria, don't they?
M: Yes, I wish I had the originals, then I would be a wealthy man instead of a poor stamp collector.
W: But I believe collecting stamps gives you much pleasure which not all wealthy men can enjoy.
M: Yes, I do agree.

How old was the man when he became interested in collecting stamps?

[解析] 题目询问男士多大时开始对集邮感兴趣。对话刚开始便一问一答给出此题的答案，第二句“...when I was about ten years old”即得出答案为选项A(10)。
选项B(9)具有迷惑性是因为对话中有“9 years”一词，但这是指男士的集邮爱好有9年的历史了，并非指9岁开始集邮。选项C和选项D文中均未提及。

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】[听力原文]
What is on the first postage stamps?

[解析] 题目询问第一批邮票的画面内容是什么。对话中男士给女士介绍第一批邮票的情况并给她出示图片，女士认出是维多利亚女王的画像，所以选项D(维多利亚女王的画像)为正确答案。
根据对话内容，“Britain”其实是第一批邮票发行的国家，而不是邮票上图案的内容，故选项A(英国的图画)为错误选项。选项B(女王宫殿的图画)和选项C(罗兰·希尔的画像)，对话中都未提及，故均可排除。
