完形填空
I was a young newspaper reporter, and I wanted to succeed. My first 1 was in Latin America. It was almost my last
job.
I had not 2 to stay in the village of Zacate, 3 it had been raining hard for a whole day. So I
had to stay there.
I found people there full of 4 . This village was at the foot of a volcano (火山). It was becoming more 5.
Men, women and children came to the square. A few helped each other and went
out of town to get as far away from the volcano as possible, with large and
full 6 in their hands. Suddenly, I felt a strong 7.
The villagers in the square 8 as soon as they felt the earthquake.
Suddenly, I saw black smoke 9 down the side of the mountain towards the
village. Trees and grass 10 up in a second. The volcano was coming so 11 that in less than a minute the roads to the
villages were 12 .
All I could do was watch and 13.
Suddenly, my landlord (房东)
cried out, "Look!" He 14 to a small hill. The lava (岩浆) was not coming over it but 15 on each side of the 16,
leaving the village center 17. For a time, at least, we were 18,
unless the lava grew much and bigger.
My landlord gave me a wet blanket to cover myself to avoid the 19 and we poured water over our heads to cool
ourselves. We could hardly breathe (呼吸)
because of the heat and the 20 of the burning houses. Thanks to my landlord,
I survived the volcano.
