conflicts. The most notable increases in disease levels were those of new case of tuberculosis, which rose 
steadily throughout Western Europe, and of reported cases of typhoid fever. Most seriously affected were 
displaced persons, encamped refugees and inmates of concentration camps. In marginally nourished and 
starving patients, typhus, dysentery, scarlet fever, and diphtheria caused sporadic outbreaks and many 
deaths. 
13. It is emphasized in the passage that .... 
A. many of the deaths could have been avoided through better health care 
B. Western Europe was not exposed to any of the infectious diseases during the war 
C. most of Western Europe was occupied for a large part of the war 
D. refugees and the homeless were adequately taken care of during the war 
E. such infectious diseases such as typhus and dysentery caused the loss of many lives among the 
undernourished. 
14. The author explains that.... 
A. among the homeless, it was children who were most seriously affected 
B. sanitary conditions in concentration camps were terrible 
C. owing to malnutrition, there was an unprecedented outbreak of tuberculosis among the fighting men 
D. due to the efficiency of health precautions, all the infectious diseases had only a marginal effect 
E. during the Second World War, civilians were not affected by infectious diseases as much as it might 
have been expected 
15. The experience of the Second World War.... 
A. showed how inhuman were the conditions in the concentration camps 
B. encouraged industrialized countries to provide housing for the homeless 
C. proved valuable as regards the control of diseases 
D. has inspired many countries of Western Europe with the idea of a lasting peace. 
E. has contributed to the rapid industrialization of the western world 
Life, like all other processes that go on in material bodies, requires energy. It differs from some such 
processes in the way in which its energy is obtained and from all of them in the way in which its energy is 
directed. The energy of the process which goes on in a boiling kettle is imparted to it continually from 
without by the fire. The energy of the process which goes on in a clock is stored in it, but has been imparted 
to it by mechanical action from without, in the winding of the spring. But life differs from the other processes, 
and all processes that go on in lifeless things, in that its energy is liberated in such a way as to tend to the 
preservation and increase of the living being. 
16. The writer points out that all processes, living or lifeless,..... 
A. need energy 
B. impart energy 
C. depend on mechanical action 
D. are wasteful of energy 
E. have the same pattern 
17. It is pointed out that every living process .... 
A. uses the same amount of energy 
B. is directed towards the maintenance of life 
C. is aided by an outside source of energy 
D. is capable of storing energy 
E. resembles processes in lifeless things 
18. The most distinctive feature of mechanical energy, as opposed to life energy, is that it ....... 
A. is always directed to the preservation of life 
B. can be controlled
