Question

阅读理解 　　It is unbelievable how popular English is in Venezuela(委内瑞拉)．Now we have a kind of language mixture between English and Spanish． 　　In the Venezuelans’ daily conversations, they often use English words with Spanish verb endings．For example, if they send a fax(传真), they use the word faxear, or if they have to click on the screen of their computer, they say clickear． 　　Also, they use simple English words in some Spanish sentences．You might hear someone say, “Voy a comprar unos jeans in el mall”which means“I’m going to buy some jeans in the mall,”or“Okey, vamos”which means“OK, let’s go”． 　　In addition, you see English names everywhere for restaurants, Crystal Ranch, stores, Area Company, gymnasiums, Sport Center, Athletic Center, malls, The Country, and night clubs, Studio Fifty Four．In Caracas(加拉加斯), there is a very fashionable neighborhood named Las Merce des, where each street has an American name like New York or Fifth Avenue．Therefore, when you go shopping, you can see signs in English in the windows of stores, such as On Sale． 　　In some Latin American countries, the increasing influence(影响)of English is a question often argued about．But in Venezuela, however, this is not the case．Venezuelans are open to receiving different cultural influences such as European fashion(时装)and British music．Moreover, many Venezuelans don’t know where the words come from．They have been using them for years as a part of their language． (1) Which language do Venezuelans usually speak, judging from the information given in the article?
