问题      Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers compare and contrast【C1】______ places on the earth. But they also【C2】______ beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a【C3】______ . The word geography【C4】______ from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for "earth" and graphein,【C5】______ means "to write". The English word geography means "to describe the earth". 【C6】______ geography books focus on a small area【C7】______ a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an  【C8】______ continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another  【C9】______ to divide the study of【C10】______ is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the【C11】______ starts with human beings and【C12】______ how human beings and their environment act【C13】______ each other.
     But when geography is considered as a single subject,【C14】______ branch can neglect the other. A geographer might be described【C15】______ one who observes, records, and explains the【C16】______  between places. If places【C17】______ alike, there would be little need for geographers. We know, however,【C18】______ no two places are exactly the same. Geography,【C19】______ , is a point of view, a special way of【C20】______ at places.
【C15】
选项 A、for
B、to
C、by
D、as
答案D
解析 be described as作“被描写成”讲。例如：He describes himself as a doctor．他自称是个医生。I would describe her as handsome rather than beautiful．我认为她端庄文雅，但算不上美丽漂亮。而be described by意为“被……描写；被……描述”，用在此处不合适；另外，to和for一般不与 describe构成搭配。
