character is Andrew, Patrick’s brother. Patrick is a famous lawyer, but his brother is a
dangerous criminal. Andrew is the (23) villain of the story as he pretends to be his brother in
order to assume Patrick’s life and money. The (24) dialogue between the two brothers will be
realistic. The (25) ending of the film has a big surprise for everyone!

This text is for question 26-35
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.
Line The pockets of warm air float upward through the air above that is both cooler and heavier. The rising
(5) 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,
(10) 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,
(15) 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
(20) 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
(25) near its southern end, can be found supercells, long-lived rotating storms of exceptional strength that
serve as the source of tornadoes.

a. the development of thunderstorms and squall lines

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

29. The word "benign" in line 16 is closest in meaning to … .
