【2】unlikely 考查形容詞。根據(jù)句意此處為不大可能，故寫成unlikely。

【3】the 考查冠詞。此處是特指這個事實，用the。

【4】whom 考查連詞。此處為非限制性定語從句，指代前面的Americans，放在介詞后，故用whom。

【5】 caused 考查非謂語動詞。此處用非謂語，邏輯主語是deaths，和cause之間是被動關(guān)系，故用過去分詞caused。

【6】 have been killed 考查語態(tài)時態(tài)。根據(jù)后面的時間狀語since2005，可知時態(tài)為現(xiàn)在完成時，根據(jù)句意用被動，故填have been killed。

【9】 hiding 考查形容詞。此處用形容詞作定語，意為隱藏的，填hiding。

【10】quickly考查副詞。此處為副詞修飾動詞，故改成quickly。
