【解析】这篇文章主要讲了不同国家讲不同类型的英语，你可以通过一个人的英语口音来判断他来自于哪个国家。

【1】考查固定用法。介词之后用动词的ing形式，所以填spreading。

【2】考查固定短语。 at present是固定用法，意思是目前、现在，所以填At。

【3】考查定语从句。这里含有一个定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以填which。

【4】考查语态。The Englishes与understand之间是被动关系，用被动语态，且情态动词之后用动词原形，所以填be understood。

【5】考查非谓语动词。句意：你能根据住在你小区里的外国人的不同，来判断他们从哪里来。不定式作目的状语，所以填to tell。

【6】考查副词。修饰动词command，用副词形式，所以填fluently。

【7】考查介词。句意：直接乘电梯到我的公寓。表示通过…..，用介词by。

【8】考查名词。根据上文my trucks 可知是复数概念，所以填lorries。

【9】考查代词。句意：你可以识别出他的美国人身份。所以填his。

【10】考查主谓一致。句意：然而后者表明他是一个英国人。在一般现在时中，the latter是第三人称单数，所以谓语动词也用单数形式，填suggests。
