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

Thunderstorms, with their jagged bursts of lightning and roaring thunder, are actually one of nature’s primary mechanisms for transferring heat from the surface of the earth into the atmosphere. A thunderstorm starts when low-lying pockets of warm air from the surface of the earth begin to rise. The pockets of warm air float upward through the air above that is both cooler and heavier. The rising pockets cool as their pressure decreases, and their latent heat is released above the condensation line through the formation of cumulus clouds.

What will happen with these clouds depends on the temperature of the atmosphere. In winter, the air temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes is not extremely great, and the temperature of the rising air mass drops more slowly. During these colder months, the atmosphere, therefore, tends to remain rather stable. In summer, however, when there is a high accumulation of heat near the earth’s surface, in direct contrast to the considerably colder air higher up, the temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes is much more pronounced. As warm air rises in this type of environment, the temperature drops much more rapidly than it does in winter; when the temperature drops more than 4 degrees Fahrenheit per thousand feet of altitude, cumulus clouds aggregate into a single massive cumulonimbus cloud, or thunderhead.

In isolation, a single thunderstorm is an impressive but fairly benign way for Mother Earth to defuse trapped heat from her surface; thunderstorms, however, can appear in concert, and the resulting show, while extremely impressive, can also prove extraordinarily destructive. When there is a large-scale collision between cold air and warm air masses during the summer months, a squall line, or series of thunderheads, may develop. It is common for a squall line to begin when an advancing cold front meets up with and forces itself under a layer of warm and moist air, creating a line of thunderstorms that races forward at speeds of approximately forty miles per hour. A squall line, which can be hundreds of miles long and can contain fifty distinct thunderheads, is a magnificent force of nature with incredible potential for destruction. Within the squall line, often near its

 southern end, can be found supercells, long-lived rotating storms of exceptional strength that serve as the source of tornadoes.

Question 12: The topic of the passage is ________.

     A. the development of thunderstorms and squall lines

     B. the devastating effects of tornadoes

     C. cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds

     D. the power of tornadoes

Question 14: It can be inferred from the passage that, in summer, ________.

     A. there is not a great temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes

     B. the greater temperature differential between higher and lower altitudes makes thunderstorms more likely to occur

     C. there is not much cold air higher up in the atmosphere

     D. the temperature of rising air drops more slowly than it does in winter

Question 15: The word “benign” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.

     A. harmless                   B. beneficial                  C. ferocious                  D. spectacular

Question 16: The expression “in concert” in paragraph 3 could best be replaced by ________.

     A. as a chorus                                                     B. with other musicians

     C. as a cluster                                                     D. in a performance
