4. Earthquake makes thousands of people homeless
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 (用处) → useless (无用的)
hope (希望) → 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。

5. Coach comes off road and hits tree

(2) 短语 come off (sth.) 意思是“与……分离（或分开）”。
e.g. The label came off my sweater. 我毛衣上的标签掉了。

8. The fog was so thick that drivers couldn’t see more than
a metre in front of them.
(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：
a.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）。
b. more 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。
c. more 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。
