■ 問題

第6問 次の文章を読み、下の問い(A・B)に答えよ。なお、文章の左にある
(1)〜(6)はパラグラフ(段落)の番号を表している。

(1) From quiet paths by a stream in a forest to busy roads running through
a city, people have created various forms of routes in different places.
These now exist all around us, and their use is [imperative] for societies.
These routes have enabled people to move, transport things, and send
information from one place to another quickly and safely. Throughout
history, they have been important in our daily lives.

(2) Early routes were often formed naturally on land. They gradually
developed over long periods of time while people traveled them on foot or
horseback. A significant turning point in their history arrived when the
first wheeled carts appeared in ancient times. Once this happened, people
recognized the importance of well-maintained routes. Therefore, towns,
cities, and entire countries improved them in order to prosper. As a
result, life become more convenient, communities grew, economies evolved,
and cultures expanded. The importance of land routes increased further,
especially after the appearance of automobiles.

(3) People have established routes on water, too. Rivers and canals have
served as effective routes for people to move around and carry things. For
instance, in the old Japanese city of Edo, water routes were used for the
transportation of agricultural products, seafood, and wood, which supported
the city's life and economy. People have also opened routes across the sea.
The seaways, which developed based on winds, waves, water depths, and
coastline geography, were critical for the navigation of ships,
particularly in the days when they moved mainly by wind power. Using these
sea routes, people could travel great distance and go to places they had
not previously been able to reach. A number of important sea routes
emerged, leading to the exchange of natural resources, products and idea.
This, in turn, helped cities and towns thrive.

(4) People have gone on to open routes in the sky as well. Since the
invention of the airplane, these routes have made it possible for people
to travel long distances easily. They found the best routes by considering
conditions such as winds and air currents. Eventually, people became able
to travel safely and comfortably high in the sky, and going vast distances
only took a small amount of time. In fact, people used to need more than
one month to travel to Europe from Japan by ship, whereas today they can
travel between them in a single day by airplane. Owing to the establishment
of these sky routes, a great number of people now travel around the world
for sightseeing, visiting friends, and doing business.

(5) Today, we have a new type of route, the Internet, which specializes in
the electronic exchange of information. By using this worldwide route,
people can easily obtain information that once was available mainly from
books and face-to-face communication. They can also instantly send messages
to large numbers of people all at once. According to one study, more than
3.5 billion people, which is about half of the global population, have
access to this electronic route today. As technology advances, more and
more people will take advantage of this route to gather information and
communicate.

(6) As long as there have been people, there have been routes to connect
them. These have contributed not only to the movement of people, things,
and information, but also to the development of our communities, economies,
and cultures. Routes have played significant roles in the development and
prosperity of humankind. Currently unknown routes will surely take us even
further in the future.
