　　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

　　The modern sailing ship was developed by a man who never went to sea.He was Prince Henry of Portugal,the younger son of the Partuguese king and an English princess.�ァ�Prince Henry lived in the fifteenth century.As a boy he became devoted to the sea,and he dedicated himself to improving the design of ships and the methods of sailing them.In 1416,when he was twenty�瞭wo,Henry founded a school for mariners,　to which he invited everyone who could help him—Jewish astronomers,Italian and　Spanish sailors,and Arab mathematicians and map makers who knew to use the crude　compass of the day and could improve it.��

　　Henry's goal was to design and equip vessels that would be capable of making long ocean voyages without having to hug the shore.The caravel carried more sail and was longer and slimmer than any ship then made,yet was tough enough to withstand gales at sea.He also developed the carrack,which was a slower ship,but one that was capable of carrying more cargo.�ァ�To Prince Henry the world owes credit for development of craft that made oceanic exploration possible.He lives in history as Henry the Navigator.
