Though Edmund Halley was most famous because of his achievements as an astronomer, he
was a scientist of diverse interests and great skill. In addition to studying the skies, Halley was also
deeply interested in exploring the unknown depths of the oceans. One of his lesser-known
accomplishments that were quite remarkable was his design for a diving bell that facilitated
exploration of the watery depths.
The diving bell that Halley designed had a major advantage over the diving bells that were in
use prior to his. Earlier diving bells could only make use of the air contained within the bell itself,
so divers had to surface when the air inside the bell ran low. Halley’s bell was an improvement in
that its design allowed for an additional supply of fresh air that enabled a crew of divers to remain
underwater for several hours.

The diving contraption that Halley designed was in the shape of a bell that measured three feet
across the top and five feet across the bottom and could hold several divers comfortably; it was open
at the bottom so that divers could swim in and out at will. The bell was built of wood, which was
first heavily tarred to make it water repellent and was then covered with a half-ton sheet of lead to
make the bell heavy enough to sink in water. The bell shape held air inside for the divers to breathe
as the bell sank to the bottom.

The air inside the bell was not the only source of air for the divers to breathe, and it was this
improvement that made Halley's bells superior to its predecessors. In addition to the air already in
the bell, air was also supplied to the divers from a lead barrel that was lowered to the ocean floor
close to the bell itself. Air flowed through a leather pipe from the lead barrel on the ocean floor to
the bell. The diver could breathe the air from a position inside the bell, or he could move around
outside the bell wearing a diving suit that consisted ofa lead bell-shaped helmet with a glass viewing
window and a leather body suit, with a leather pipe carrying fresh air from the diving bell to the
helmet.
Question 36. Which of the following best expresses the subject of this passage?
A. Halley’s work as an astronomer
B. Halley’s many different interests
C. Halley’s invention of a contraption for diving
D. Halley's experiences as a diver

A. moved slowly
B. had been replenished
C. sank to the bottom
D. was almost exhausted
Question 39. How long could divers stay underwater in Halley’s bell?
A. Just a few seconds
B. Only a few minutes
C. For hours at a time
D. For days on end
Question 40. It is NOT stated in the passage that Halley's bell _______.
A. was wider at the top than at the bottom

B. was made of tarred wood
C. was completely enclosed
D. could hold more than one diver

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.
The Timber rattlesnakes, once widespread throughout the eastern United States, is now on the
endangered species list and is extinct in two eastern states in which it once thrived. Compared to its
Western cousins the Timber rattlesnakes may be especially vulnerable because of certain behaviors
adapted for coping with the cold climate in which it lives.
Rattlesnakes are generally found in warm climates because, like all reptiles, they cannot
generate or regulate their own body temperature internally and must rely on the sun’s warmth for

heat. But Timber rattlesnakes migrated into colder northern areas about 8,000 years ago when
glaciers retreated. In these northern regions, the snakes developed a number of adaptive strategies to
survive, but ultimately these behaviors make them more vulnerable to human predation, their main
threat.
One survival strategy the snakes have developed is hibernation. For approximately eight months
of the year, the rattlers remain motionless in deep frost-free crevices, with their body temperature
dropping as low as 40 degrees. In the spring, when they emerge, they must warm their chilled
bodies by sunning for three or four days on rocks in the open. This behavior coupled with the fact
that Timber rattlesnakes tend to concentrate in large numbers at their wintering sites, make them
easy prey. Gestating females are particularly vulnerable because they spend much of their time
basking in the sun in order to produce live young from eggs. In addition, females have very long
interbirth intervals, producing live young only every three to five years. If a frost or cold spell
comes late in the year, the entire litter of 6 to 12 young may die.
Efforts are underway to protect the Timber rattlesnakes and its habitats from further human
depredation, but in many states it is already too late.
Question 43. What is the main topic of the passage?
A. Why Timber rattlesnakes hibernate
B. How Timber rattlesnakes are surviving
C. How Timber rattlesnakes adapted to northern climates
D. Why Timber rattlesnakes are endangered
Question 44. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word “vulnerable” in the first
paragraph?
A. Unprotected
B. Impervious
C. Insensitive
D. Deprived
