Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have

either become extinct or near extinction has increased(16). Bengal tigers, for instance,
which once roamed the jungles in vast numbers, now number only about 2,300. By the

year 2025, it is estimated that they will become extinct.
What is alarming about the case oí the Bengal tiger is that this extinction will
have been caused almost entirely by poachers who, according to some sources, are not
always interested in material gain but in personal gratification. This is an example of
the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction. Animals such as the
Bengal tiger, as well as other endangered species, are valuable parts of the world/s
ecosystem. International laws protecting animals must be enacted to ensure their
survival-and the survival of our planet.
Countries around the world have begun to deal with the problem in various

ways. Some countries, in an effort to circumvent the problem, have allocated large
amounts of land to animal reserves. They then charge admission prices to help defray

the costs of maintaining the parks, and they often must also depend on world
organizations for support. This money enables them to invest in equipment and patrols
o protect the animals. Another response to the increase in animal extinction is an
international boycott of products made from endangered species. This has had some
effect, but by itself will not prevent animals from being hunted and killed

(ID: 103112) 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.
Though Edmund Halley was most famous because of his achievements as an
astronomer, he was a scientist of diverse interests and great skill. (26) In addition to
studying the skies, Halley was also deeply interested exploring the unknown depths of

the oceans. One of his lesser-known accomplishments that was 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.

(30)
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 (31. A)and could hold
several divers comfortably; it was open at the bottom (31.C)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 (31. B) 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

D

oc

it was this improvement that made Halley's bell superior to its predecessors(28). 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.(34) Air flowed through

a leather pipe from the lead barrel on the ocean floor to the bell. The diver could breath
the air from a position inside the bell, or he could move around outside the bell wearing
