             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 earth begin to rice.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 four 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 fo Mother Earth todefuse trapped heat from her surface,thunderstorm ,however,can appear in correct,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 thundersheads,may develop.It is common for a squall line line to begin  when an advancing cold front meets up with and forces itself 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 district thunderheads,is a magnificent of nature with incredible potential for distruction.Whithin 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.

4.The word"benign"in line 16 is closest in meaning to
a.harmless

d.a string of thunderstorms

7.The pronoun"itself"in line 21 refers to
a.a large-scale collision
b.a squall line
c.an advancing cold front
d.a layer of warm and moist air

8.All of following are mentioned in the passage about supercells EXCEPT that they
a.are of short duration
b.have circling winds
c.have extraordinary power
d.can give birth to tornadoes

9.This reading would most probably be assigned in which of the following couses?

             Just two months after the flight of Apollo 10,the Apollo 11 astronouts made their historic landing on the surface of the moon.This momentous trip for humanity also provided scientists with an abundance of material for study;from rock and soil samples brought back from the Moon,scientists have been able to determine much about the composition of the Moon as well as to draw inferences about the development of the Moon from its composition.               The Moon soil that came back on Apollo 11 contains small bits of rock and glass which were probably ground from larger rocks when meteors impacted with the surface of the Moon.The bits of glass are spherical in shape and constitute approximately half of the Moon soil.Scientists found no trace of animal or plant life in this soil.               In addition to the Moon soil,astronauts gathered two basic ...

             During the heyday of the railroads,when Ameria's rail system provided the bulk of the country's passenger and freight transportation,various types of railroad cars were in servive to accomplish the varied tasks handled by the railroads.One type of car that was not available for public use prior to the civil War,however,was a sleeping car,ideas for sleeping cars abounded at the time, but these ideas were unworkable.It unfortunately took the death of a president to make the sleeping car a viable reality.               Cabinet-maker George M.Pullman had recognized the demand for sleeping cars and had worked on developing experimental models of sleeping cars in the decade leading up to the Civil War.However,in spite of the fact that he had made successful test runs on the chicago and Alton Railroads with his models,he was unable to sell his idea because his models were too wide and too high for...

         Today ,the most universally known style of both men and women is jeans;these trousers are worn throuhout the world on a variety of occasions and in diverse situations.Also called levis or denims,jeans have an interesting history,one that is intermixed with the derivation of the words jeans,denims,and levis.               The word jeans is derived from the name of the place where a similar style of plants developed.In the sixteenth century,sailors from Genoa,Italy,wore a rather unique type of cotton trousers.In the French language,the word for the city of Genoa and for the people from that city is Genes;this name became attached to the specific style of pants worn by the sailors from this city and developed into the word jeans that today describes the descendents of the Genovese sailors' cotton pants.               Similar to the word jeans,the word denim is also derived...
