1．However, it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago.然而，美洲土著人很可能在15 000年前就在加州生活着。

本句式中 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... 某人/物可能干某事。
（2010陕西）Studies show that people are more        to suffer from back problems if they always sit before computer screens for long hours.    (A)

2．Two centuries later, the Spanish had settled in most parts of South America and along the northwest coast of what we now call the United States.二百年后，西班牙人定居在南美洲大多数地区以及现在美国的西北沿海。

3．That is why today over 40% of Californians speak Spanish as a first or second language.这就是今天有超过40%的加利福尼亚人把西班牙语作为第一或第二语言的原因。

4．Although Chinese immigrants began to arrive during the Gold Rush Period, it was the building of the rail network from the west to the east coast that brought even larger numbers to California in the 1860s.
虽然中国移民在淘金热时期就开始到来了，但是更大批量的移民却是在19世纪60年代为了修建贯穿美国东西海岸的铁路而来的。

5．It is believed that  before long the mix of nationalities will be so great that there will be no distinct major racial or cultural groups, but simply a mixture of many races and cultures.
人们相信过不了多久国籍间相混的程度将如此大以至于不再有明显的种族或文化团体，而仅仅是一个种族和文化的混合体。

本句用的句型是 It is believed that－clause。it 是形式主语，真正的主语是后面的 that－clause。
类似的结构还有：It be said/known/agreed/thought/supposed/reported＋that－clause.
此句型可转化成：
(1)People say/know/agree/think/suppose/report＋that－clause.
(2)Sb./Sth. be said/known/agreed/thought/supposed/reported＋to do.

The lake by the village is believed ______ a number of victims in the past 3 years.
A．to claim   B．to have claimed
C．claiming   D．being claiming

【答案】B

【解析】句意为“人们相信村子旁边的湖泊在过去的三年里已要了许多人的命”。在这种形式中，believe 后面不能跟 v．－ing形式；由 in the past 3 years 可知，事情是已发生的，因此，需用不定式的完成式与之相对应。
