14、y Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers compare and contrast【 C1】 _ places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a whole. The word geography comes from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for “earth“ and gr

Others deal with a【 C3】 _a state, a nation, or an【 C4】 _ continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another way to divide the study o
16、f【 C5】 _ is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the latter starts with human beings and studies how human beings and their environment act upon each other.

No two speakers speak in【 C2】 _ the same way, we can always hear differences between them, and the pronunciation of English 【 C3】 _ a great deal in different【 C4】 _ areas.
20、 How do we decide what sort of English to use as a【 C5】 _? This is not a question that can be answered in the same way for all foreign learners of English.
