问题     Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers(地理学家)compare and contrast【C1】______ places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a【C2】______ , The world geography come from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for "earth" and graphein,【C3】______ means "to write. " The English word geography means "to describe the earth. " Some geography books focus on a small area【C4】______ a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an【C5】______ continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another way to divide the study of【C6】______ is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the【C7】______ starts with human beings and studies how human beings and their environment act【C8】______ each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject,【C9】______ branch can neglect the other. A geographer might be described as one who observes, records, and explains the difference between places. If all places【C10】______ alike, there would be little need for geographers. We know, however, that no two places are exactly the same. Geography, then, is a point of view, a special way of looking at places.
【C7】

选项 A、second
B、later
C、next
D、latter

答案D

解析 本题所在句子的句首用了the former(前者),后面一般来说就应该用the latter(后者)。所以本题答案是D项latter。有的考生混淆了later(后来的)和latter而误选了B项later,这两个词虽说只差一个字母,但意思却大相径庭。一般地说,前面用了first时,后面才用A项second或C项next。
