本次高三模擬考英語試題中出現一個creat havoc的片語，這是在新聞媒體上常會出現的用語，舉凡颱風、地震等天災乃至於疾病的肆虐，只要形容大規模的災害損失，自然或人為都可，大概就會用到"havoc"這字。
常用的動詞搭配包括：cause/creat/play/wreak (past: wrought) havoc，隨便拿這片語google一下一定都是一拖拉庫的新聞報導。
常接的介系詞如among: The new tax could wreak havoc among smaller companies.（這句會不會讓各位聯想到近來的金融海嘯的相關報導呢？聯想力對學英文是很重要的）for: High winds have been creating havoc for farmers. in: The desease can cause havoc in commercial orchards. on: The flood wrought havoc on the countryside. to: The storm caused havod to wildlife. with: The fog played havoc with flight schedules.
