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 [br] 【C5】
选项
答案 B
解析 根据后面的size可知这里是要填一个修饰名词size的形容词。分析句意可知这里讲的是：如果你是做生意的，搞艺术的，或是就想加入到一个对话中，仅仅是它巨大的使用者群体也是你学习西班牙语的一个强有力的因素。所以这里填表示“完全，仅仅”意思的sheer在这里比较恰当。而vast“大的，广阔的”一般修饰地域，不表示人口的多少，vast size指幅员辽阔。因此，选sheer。
