问题     Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers compare and contrast various places on the earth. But they also【C1】______beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a whole. The English word geography means "to describe the earth. "【C2】______geography books focus on a small area like a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an【C3】______continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another【C4】______to divide the study of geography is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the【C5】______starts with human beings and studies how human beings and their environment act【C6】______each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 【C7】______branch can neglect the other. A geographer might be described as one who observes, records, and explains the【C8】______between places. If all places【C9】______alike, there would be little need for geographers. We know, however, that no two places are exactly the same. Geography, 【C10】______is a point of view, a special way of looking at place.
【C8】
选项 A、exceptions
B、sameness
C、differences
D、divisions
答案C
解析 differences意为“不同”，A项exceptions意为“例外”，B项sameness意为“相同；相似”，D项divisions意为“分开”。文章一开始就说地理学家对地球上各种各样的地方进行比较和对照。在本句的后边，作者又说如果所有的地方都是相同的，地理学家就没有存在的必要了。由此可见，地理学家应是一个观察、记录和解释地区间差异的人。四个选项中，只有C符合句意。
