4The typhoon caused serious to the crops, and many farmers lost their whole harvest.
Acomfort
Bbalance
Cprofit
Ddamage
✔ 正確答案：(D) damage
中譯颱風對農作物造成嚴重的損害，許多農民失去了全部的收成。
解析lost their whole harvest（失去全部收成）指出颱風帶來「損害 damage」。comfort 安慰、profit 利潤、balance 平衡皆矛盾。
單字damage 損害、破壞、crop 農作物、harvest 收成
5Since the meeting was to next Monday, we now have more time to prepare.
Apostponed
Bcanceled
Creminded
Dreflected
✔ 正確答案：(A) postponed
中譯由於會議延到下週一，我們現在有更多時間準備。

單字attract 吸引、tourist 觀光客、improve 改善
