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] 【C10】
选项
答案 L
解析 根据后面的reason可知这里要填一个可以修饰原因的形容词。分析句意可知这里讲的是：就是那些没有政治野心的人，这里也有一个把西班牙语当第二语言学习的吸引人的原因。所以compelling(引人注目的，激发兴趣的)比较恰当。defending的意思是“自卫的，自我保护的”，在这里意思不通。因此，选compelling。
