3. Earthquake makes thousands of people homeless地震使成千上万的人无家可归

homeless是形容词，意为“无家可归的”，在句中通常作定语修饰名词。 the homeless 指无家可归的一类人，相当于homeless people。 homeless 是由名词home加后缀-less 构成的，后缀-less 意为“没有的”，常加在名词后面构成形容词。如： use→useless（无用的）      hope→hopeless（没有希望的）  care（当心）→careless（粗心的：马虎的） e.g. The homeless people need our help.无家可归的人需要我们的帮助。 We need to build more houses for the homeless.我们需要为无家可归的人建造更多的房子。

5.Three men hurt in car accident三名男子在车祸中受伤

7. The fog was so thick that drivers couldn’t see more than a metre in front of them.雾如此厚以至于司机看不到前方1米以外的东西。

(1) 长难句分析：这是一个复合句。主句主语是The fog ，was是系动词，so thick是表语，that drivers couldn’t see more than a metre in front of them 是结果状语从句。 (2) more than 有多种用法： ①当more than 后面接具体数字时，意为“超过；多于”，相当于over。此时其反义词组是less than（少于）。 ②more than 后面接名词或动名词时，意为“不仅仅是”，表示超出字面意义的范围。 ③more than 还可以表达程度，意为“非常”，后接形容词或副词，用于加强语气。 e.g. There are more than 30 teachers in our school.我们学校有30 多个老师。     He is more than a teacher; he is a writer.他不仅仅是一名老师，还是一名作家。     I’m more than happy to help you. 我非常高兴帮助你们。 (3) in front of 意为“在…前面”（通常指在外面的前面），其反义词是behind； in the front of 意为“在…前面”（通常指在里面的前面），其反义词是at the back of“在…后面” e.g.The driver sits in the front of the bus and drives carefully. Suddenly a boy appears in front of the bus and the driver has to stop.司机坐在公交车的前面认真开车。突然，一个男孩出现在车前，公交司机不得不停下来。

 

8.It was one of the largest traffic accidents in the town’s history!这是小镇历史上最大的交通事故之一!

traffic  un. 交通,指路上行驶的车辆、人流和货流。常放在名词前作定语。 例:A policeman is directing the traffic. 一名警察正在指挥交通。 常用短语:traffic lights交通灯;     a traffic sign交通标志     heavy traffic交通拥堵;     direct the traffic 指挥交通 例:There was heavy traffic on the road.路上的交通很拥挤。 The boy knows a lot of traffic signs.这个男孩认识很多交通标志。       Turn left at the traffic lights. 在交通信号灯处向左拐。 【对点练习】 1.Because of the snow, the __________(交通) was too busy yesterday. 2.开车的时候一定要注意交通信号灯。You must pay attention to the               __________ while you are driving.
