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.
【C5】
选项 A、second
B、later
C、next
D、latter
答案D
解析 上句刚刚讲述了地理学被划分为自然地理学和文化地理学，下面接着对这两个分支学科作进一步的说明。在英语中，为了避免重复，对前面刚提到过的两个名词，后面再提及时，常用the former“前者”和the latter“后者”分别代替，所以此处用the latter代替前面的第二个名词cultural geography。
