问题      Geography is 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 graphic, 【C5】______ means" to write".
     The English word 【C6】______ means" to describe the earth". Some geography books focus 【C7】______ a small area 【C8】______ a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 【C9】______ continent. Many geography books deal 【C10】______ the whole earth. Another 【C11】______ to divide the study of geography is to 【C12】______ between physical geography and cultural  geography. The former focuses on the natural world; 【C13】______ starts with human beings and 【C14】______  how human beings and their environment act 【C15】______ each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 【C16】______  branch can  neglect the other. A geographer might be described as one who observes, records, and explains the 【C17】______  between places. If places 【C18】______ alike, there would be little need for geographers. We know, however, 【C19】______ no two places are exactly the same. Geography, 【C20】______ , is a point of view, a special way of looking at places.
【C9】
选项 A、extensive
B、enormous
C、overall
D、entire
答案D
解析 根据上句“Some geography books focus on a small area like a town or city”和本句的对比关系，可以肯定本句中的a state，a region，a nation，or an entire continent应为递进关系，所以选择D。而A则意为“广泛的，广阔的”。B则意为“巨大的”。
