10．The reason________death was feared was________no man could experience it twice.
A．why；that B．why；because
C．why；why D．because；that
解析：选A。句意：人们之所以恐惧死亡，是因为没有人能经历两次。
2【教材原句】 However，it_is_likely_that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago.(P2)
然而，土著美国人有可能在一万五千年前就在加州生活着。
【句法分析】 本句中it为形式主语，真正的主语为that从句。
It is likely that...……是可能的，此句型可转化为：sb./sth.be likely to do sth.某人/物可能做某事。
①She’s very likely to ring me tonight.
＝It’s very likely that she will ring me tonight.
她今晚很可能给我打电话。
②It is likely that the weather will be fine.
＝The weather is likely to be fine.
天气可能会很晴朗。

A．likely B．perhaps
C．possibly D．probably
解析：选A。句意：很有可能环境保护者会到这个地区调查严重污染所造成的潜在的破坏。句型It is likely that... 中的 likely为形容词，而不是副词，B、C、D三项均为副词形式，与句式不符。
