解析 名词辨析题。句意为：在TFA 2020跨国的、公私合营的新型伙伴关系之下，我们期待能进一步拓展我们的合作广度。horizon表示“视野，眼界”；territory表示“领土，疆域”，例如：The two sides continued todispute the ownership of the territory．(双方继续争夺那片领土的所有权。)breadth“范围，幅度”；span“跨度”，一般指某事物自始至终的持续时间，例如：They would also tend to be somewhat older than the morerecent migrants，within the age-span limits used．(从年龄跨度的角度看，他们也比后来的移民更加年长。)原文指拓展合作的领域和范围，因此[C]breadth为答案。
