Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.
I recently found several of the diaries my great-grandfather kept while he was fighting abroad during
the war. He starts out very full of and hope. He believes that they will make a
difference and are fighting a truly enemy—one who doesn't care at all for fellow human beings.
As the days pass and he comes face to face with the of war, his tone changes. He was only 17 years old when the war began, so he was completely unprepared for the
he would see on the battlefield. It was sometimes so bloody that he had
terrible nightmares. His diary entries successfully his thoughts, which go from hope to depression in only a few weeks.
My great-grandfather, always of his superiors, wrote a lot about the
of his squad and the difficult situations he faced every day. For example,
during one particularly intense battle, 40 per cent of the soldiers in his squad
were killed. My great-grandfather wrote that most soldiers thought it was their
to die in battle. I'm not sure I could handle that. It seems to me that it's enough to make anyone go

Part III: Reading Comprehension
Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.
8, May, 2010
I visited the Auschwitz concentration camp today. I don't know if I have the words to describe it, but I'll try. The modern camp site is really just a collection of barracks that have been slightly reconfigured to present the history of the camp. Each building focused on a separate theme, such as "Everyday Life of the Prisoner," "Living and Sanitary Conditions," and "Extermination." Certain barracks also had themed exhibits for individual countries that had a significant number of citizens sent to the concentration camp.
In addition to these museum-style exhibits, Auschwitz also has the very famous entrance gate which has been included in many films, documentaries, and books. However, on the whole, Auschwitz seemed to be nothing more than a very powerful museum about the Holocaust. Birkenau, on the other hand, was more powerful and horrifying than I had imagined it would be.
I walked three kilometers between the camps and soon arrived at the famous "Death's Gate" entrance with the railway tracks leading through. What struck me immediately about the camp was its size. It's monstrously huge! For me, the most disturbing aspect of the camp is that visitors are allowed to wander
around the grounds freely. Nothing is off limits.
I must say, it felt wrong to be walking around the scenes of so much pain, bloodshed, and cruelty. Still, there were many tourists doing just that. In the farthest reaches of the camp—the places most distant from the entrance—it felt almost scary in its silence, emptiness, and loneliness. Surrounded by the relative tranquillity of the modern world, it is hard to believe that this place was the scene of so much evil.
Places like Auschwitz and Birkenau are constant reminders of the inhumanity people are capable of. However, they're also a helpful reminder that life goes on—and so must we—yet our continuing lives must always include memory.
