问题     Imagine that the Spanish-speaking world was a single country which is called
    Hispanidad. It covers a【C1】______perhaps one-and-a-half times the size of China. Its population is nearly 500m, making it the world’s third most【C2】______country, behind China and India. Among these people, the number of native Spanish-speakers is rising towards 400m; as a【C3】______, only【C4】______is bigger. Only English and Chinese are more widely used on the internet than Spanish.
    So if you are in business, into the arts or just want to join a conversation, the【C5】______size of Hispanidad is a powerful reason to learn Spanish. But Hispanidad is not a single country. The fact that it【C6】______across the Americas, Spain and even parts of Africa and Asia makes the case for Spanish stronger still. After English, it is the most used【C7】______language. For tourists it【C8】______and enriches travel in the 20-plus countries where Spanish is a main language.
    Not forgetting the United States, the country with the second-largest number of Spanish-speakers(about 50m and rising)after Mexico. Latinos(拉丁美洲裔)are growing in influence culturally,【C9】______and politically. Nowadays, would-be presidents make sure to advertise in Spanish.
    Even for those with no political ambitions, there is another【C10】______reason to pick Spanish as your second language: it’ s easy(certainly compared with, say, Mandarin). And once you’ve got Spanish, you’re half-way to Italian, French and Portuguese too.
A)territory B)sheer C)populous D)vast
E)mother tongue F)spreads G)Mandarin Chinese H)conquer
I)economy J)commercially K)defending L)compelling
M)eases N)causes O)international
【C8】

选项

答案M

解析 根据and enriches travel可知这里要填一个动词的三单形式。分析句意可知这里讲的是:对于游客来说,它使人们在二十个以上的讲西班牙语为主的国家里旅游变得更轻松、丰富。所以,eases(是轻松,缓和)符合句意。causes的意思是“导致”,一般表示不好的事,用在这里不通顺。因此,选eases。
