      原文与解析:

      The Old Canada Road is a long-lost trail between theCanadian province of Quebec and Maine, in thenortheast comer of the United States. Yes, it reallywas lost, (13) and finding it again was a complexprocess that involved state-of-the-art technology.

      How the location of the road was pinpointed was very interesting, and I'll return to it as soon asI've given you a little background information. The road was begun in 1817, a few years beforeMaine even became a state. (14) At the time, Quebec was a major market for livestock, crops,and fish, so a road to Quebec was seen by officials in Maine as necessary for trade.

      For about 20 years, (15) the movement of people and goods was mostly from Maine toQuebec, but then the trend reversed as thousands of Canadians immigrated to Maine toescape poor crops, lack of jobs, and the threat of disease. I think it was a cholera epidemic.Besides these negative reasons, major building projects in Maine also made the state veryattractive for the Canadians who needed work. I should stress, though, that immigrationduring that period went in both directions. In fact, the flow of people and goods wentcompletely unhindered.

      There wasn't even a border post until around 1850. The people of the time saw Maine andQuebec as a single region, mainly because of the strong French influence, which is still evident inMaine today. Eventually, the road fell into disuse as a major railway was completed; finally,people simply forgot about it and that's how it came to be lost. This brings me back to theoriginal topic.

      13. What is needed to find the lost Quebec-Maine trail?

      14. Why was the Quebec-Maine road built?

      15. What is not the reason why people began to move from Quebec to Maine?

      【小题13】短文开篇便介绍这条古老的铁路已经消失了很久,现在再次找到这条铁路会很复杂,需要最先进的技术,故选 C。

      【小题14】短文中提到,那个时候,魁北克是牲畜、农作物和鱼类产品的主要交易市场,所以美国缅因州的政府官员认为建立一条通往魁北克的铁路对于贸易而言非常有必要,故选 B。

      【小题15】短文提到 20 年以来一直都是人和货物从缅因州流向魁北克,但是这种趋势逐渐开始反向发展,因为数以万计的加拿大人为了逃避收成不佳、就业岗位的缺乏和疾病的威胁而开始向缅因州移民。故选项 D“逃避迫害”不是加拿大人开始向缅因州移民的原因。

    以上就是今天的英语六级听力练习题目,希望大家有帮助。
