Ⅱ 次の英文を読み、空所( 1 )〜( 6 )に入る最も適切なものを選べ

For most of human history, people measured time by the sun, the moon, and the seasons. In the early nineteenth century, each town in Britain set its clocks by its own local noon, so that Bristol was about ten minutes behind London. This hardly mattered when travel was slow, but the arrival of the railways made the differences ( 1 ). A timetable that listed a different local time for every station was confusing, and passengers often missed their connections. To solve the problem, railway companies adopted a single standard time ( 2 ) the time kept in London, so that station clocks across the country showed the same time. At first, many people ( 3 ) to the change; some towns even kept clocks with two minute hands, one for local time and one for “railway time.” Gradually, however, resistance ( 4 ), and standard time was finally made official by law in 1880. Whether this was a gain or a loss for ordinary people remains ( 5 ) among historians. What is clear is that the railway changed not only our spatial experience, by shrinking distances, but also our ( 6 ) experience, by making everyone live by the same clock.

本文の訳を見る

人類の歴史の大半を通じて、人々は太陽や月や季節によって時を計ってきた。19世紀初め、イギリスの各町はそれぞれの地方の正午に合わせて時計を設定していたので、ブリストルはロンドンより約10分遅れていた。移動がゆっくりだった時代にはこれはほとんど問題にならなかったが、鉄道の登場によってその差は(1)重大なものになった。駅ごとに異なる地方時を載せた時刻表はわかりにくく、乗客はよく乗り継ぎに失敗した。この問題を解決するため、鉄道会社はロンドンの時刻(2)に基づく単一の標準時を採用し、全国の駅の時計が同じ時刻を示すようにした。当初、多くの人々はこの変更に(3)反対した。地方時用と「鉄道時間」用の2本の分針がある時計を残した町さえあった。しかし次第に抵抗は(4)弱まり、標準時は1880年、ついに法律によって正式なものとなった。これが一般の人々にとって得だったのか損だったのかは、歴史家の間で今も(5)議論の的である。はっきりしているのは、鉄道が、距離を縮めることで私たちの空間の経験を変えただけでなく、誰もが同じ時計に従って暮らすようにすることで、私たちの(6)時間の経験をも変えたということである。
