问题     It is undeniable that English is beginning to become a global language in
most parts of the world by and large. It is spoken frequently specially in【M1】______
developed countries. This is an inescapable process of globalization.
However, according to many experts in linguistics, English is dominating
today’s modern world and thus, disregard most minority languages.【M2】______
Therefore, it is essential to consider the history of how English gradually
becomes dominant down to the present time.【M3】______
    The key to English globalization and extension up to the current is
basically due to the three eras where English had undergone in the past.【M4】______
English benefited from three overlapping eras of world history. The first era
was the imperial expansion of European powers which spread the use of
English so well as of other languages, like Spanish, French and Portuguese【M5】______
around the world. The second is the era of technological revolution, begun【M6】______
with the industrial revolution which the English-speaking nations of Britain【M7】______
and United States made a leading part, and the later electronic revolution,【M8】______
led above all by the USA. The third is the era of globalization.
    The mentioned three eras are pertinent to one another, for example the
second era, namely as the electronic revolution has introduced the Internet【M9】______
technology including e-mail, e-commerce, e-business and other e-activities
which support the third era, the globalization era likely to take place.【M10】______
Further development of the globalization era leads to the commonness of
English in several fields such as science, technology and world trade.

选项
答案most—mostly
解析 词义错误。此处需要一个副词修饰disregard，用来说明英语凌驾于其他语言之上的地位的程度，most作副词意为“最，最多(大)”，与此处文意不符，mostly意为“大部分地，多半”，符合文意，故改为mostly。
