The Old Canada Road is a long lost trail between the Canadian province of Quebec and Maine in the northeast corner of the United States.[33]Yes it really was lost and finding it again was a complex process that involved state of our technology: how the location of the roads was pinpointed was very interesting. And I’ll return to it as soon as I gave you a little background information.
The road was begun in 1817, a few years before Maine even became a state. 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 the movement of people and goods was mostly from Maine to Quebec, and then the trend reversed as thousands of Canadians immigrated to Maine to escape poor crops, the lack of jobs and the threat of disease. Besides its negative reasons major building projects in Maine also made the state very attractive for the Canadians who needed work. I should stress though that immigration during that period went in both directions. In fact the flow of people and goods went completely unhindered. There wasn’t even a border post until around 1850. The people of the time saw Maine and Quebec as single region mainly because of the strong French influence which is still evident in Maine 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.
33. What do we learn about the Old Canada Road between Quebec and Maine?
34 What was one of the reasons Canadians began to immigrate to Maine?
35. Why did people regard Maine and Quebec as single region at that time?
选项
A、It was difficult to relocate its path again.

C、It was built by the Canadians.
D、It was built in the late 19th century.
答案
A
解析
短文开始时谈到了老加拿大路(Old CanadaRoad),接着说它曾经“丢失”过,随后借助科技且经过了一系列繁杂程序之后才将它找到。可见.想要重新确定该路的位置是困难的。即A。
