Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers compare and contrast various places on the earth. But they also
41 the individual places and consider the earth as a
42. The word geography comes from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for “earth” and graphein,
43 means “to write”. The English word geography means “to describe the earth”.
44 geography books focus on a small area
45 a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an
46 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another
47 to divide the study of
48 is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the geographically natural world; the
49 starts with human beings and next how human beings and their environment act
50 each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject,
51 branch can neglect the other.
A geographer might be described
52 one who observes, records, and explains the
53 between places. If places are alike, there would be little need for geographers.
We know, however,
54 no two places are exactly the same. Geography, then, is a point of view,a special way of
55 at places.
41. A. pass B. reach C. go D. set

四、阅读理解(本大题共10小题,每小题2分,共20分)
本部分有两篇短文,每篇短文后有五个问题,每个问题有四个选项,选择一个最佳答案完成句子。错选、多选或未选均无分。
Passage 1
There are different ways in which people try to deal with the problem of energy. One way is the greater production of common energy sources, such as coal, oil and gas. The trouble with these sources, however, is that they are not renewable.
Another way is energy conservation, which means using energy more efficiently. In some very cold countries people build special houses to save energy. They place materials between the inside and the outside of the walls of the house to keep the cold out and the warmth in. The house is heated by the lights, the body heat of the people and the other equipment in it.
Finally, renewable energy sources are used even though they are often expensive to develop. One form of these is
geothermal energy. In certain parts of the world, the temperature of the earth increases thirty degrees centigrade with each kilometre down. At six kilometres, therefore, it rises to nearly two hundred degrees. To get the heat, water is pumped down into the rocks and back up to the surface. Heat from the earth is already used in certain countries.
56.How many ways of dealing the energy problem are discussed in the text?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
57.From the text we learn that coal ______.
A. is quite easy to produce
B. is one of the common source of energy
C. is not used most efficiently
D. could be renewed only by new technology
58.The writer tells about the “special houses” because they ______.
A. show the excellent skills of the builders
B. serve as an example of energy conservation
C. are heated by different sources of energy
D. are warmer than other types of houses
59.The underlined words “geothermal energy” in the third paragraph mean ______.
A. renewable source B. underground source
C. heat inside the earth D. temperature of the earth
60.At a place where the surface temperature is 15℃, how deep do you have to dig so as to get a temperature of 75℃?
A. One km. B. Two km.
C. Three km. D. Four km.
Passage 2
A silver dollar is not worth a dollar — nor is any other silver coin really worth its face value. Silver coins are made of any alloy — a mixture of 10 per cent copper and 90 per cent silver — which lasts much longer in circulation than pure silver would. A silver dollar contains 90 cents worth of silver and a dime has 9 cents worth. It takes only a penny worth of silver to make a nickel.
This was not the case in 1792, when the United States began minting coins of pure gold and silver. Citizens were welcome to stop anytime with gold or silver in any form — cups, vases, or even gold fillings from their teeth — and have it melted down for spending money.
Today the mints in Philadelphia and Denver earn a yearly profit of about $40 million. Most of this comes from using alloys rather than pure silver in the production of the $2.5 billion worth of coins circulating in the United States. The Philadelphia plant also produces coins for foreign countries. In a recent year almost 130 million coins were made for the use of foreign governments.
61.According to the selection, silver coins today are not worth face value because ______.
A. their value has been raised since they were made
B. they contain less silver than coins used to
C. they contain more silver than coins used to
D. the metal wears down in use
62.U.S. silver coins are made of ______.
A. 90% copper and 10% silver
B. 90% silver and 10% copper
C. pure gold and silver
D. none of these
63.The first U. S. coins were made of ______.
A. an alloy of copper and silver
B. pure silver or pure gold
C. pure copper
D. an alloy of gold and silver
64.When the U.S. mint first began operating, it ______.
A. made coins for individual citizens
B. made all coins of pure metal
C. melted down cups and gold fillings
D. all of the above
65.The use of alloys in making coins ______.
A. costs the mint about S40 million a year
B. helps the mint earn a profit of S40 million a year
C. cost the same as the use of pure silver
D. results in a small loss
