In May 2021, Congo’s Mount Nyiragongo, one of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes, burst to life without warning. Lava erupted from cracks and     1     (stream) down the mountain toward cities below,     2     (leave) hundreds dead, missing or injured.

Now, using data from monitoring stations,     3     were built near the volcano in 2015, researchers have pieced together how that eruption happened so     4     (sudden). The data also suggests the event could have been deadlier and people should     5     (well) understand this volcano’s particular dangers before the next eruption. The mountain sits near     6     eastern border of Congo, threatening both the Congolese city of Goma     7     the Rwandan city of Gisenyi. Nyiragongo’s last two eruptions were both strong enough     8     (feel) by people living nearby.     9    , before the eruption on May 22, 2021, even the sensitive monitoring stations near the volcano didn’t notice clear warning     10     (sign) of lava on the move underground.

Rescue efforts are ongoing after a massive earthquake and     1     (power) aftershocks strike southeastern Turkey and northern Syria. The quake is one of the     2     (deadly) worldwide in over ten years.

Thousands of people have been killed, and the numbers seem certain     3     (rise) as rescue teams are hunting for survivors. In hard-hit Turkey, over 6,000 buildings have been destroyed. Rescuers have been working overnight in cold, wet weather while also     4     (face) the threat of aftershocks since the 7.8 magnitude earthquake rocked     5     region early Monday.

Amid the horror of the natural disaster have been reports of miraculous (奇迹般的) rescues.

Among the survivors, an entire family was rescued     6     the province of Idlib, western Syria on Tuesday. Footage of the rescue showed two girls and a boy pulled from a     7     (damage) building by the group’s volunteer to loud cheers from the large crowd gathered. The     8     (child) were rushed to a hospital. Two adults also appeared to be carried out from the building.

A more bittersweet rescue     9     (occur) in Jindires, Syria, on Tuesday. A baby girl     10     had been born amid the earthquake rubble (废墟) was rescued, though none of her family survived. The baby was transported to a hospital, where she was in an incubator (恒温箱) in good condition.
