Geography is the study of the relationship between people and the land. Geographers compare and contrast various places on the earth. But they also go beyond the individual places and consider the earth as a 36 . The word geography 37 from two Greek words, ge, the Greek word for \and graphein, 38 means \write.\The English word geography
means \Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 39 continent. Many geography books deal with the whole earth. Another way to divide the study of 40 is to distinguish between physical geography and cultural geography. The former focuses on the natural world; the 41 starts with human beings and studies how human beings and their environment act upon each other. But when geography is considered as a single subject, 42 branch can neglect the other.
A geographer might be described 43 one who observes, records, and explains the differences between places. If places 44 alike, there would be little need for geographers.

Passage 1
I remember quite clearly the first time I was really shaken by my wife’s intuition.
We were looking for a second-hand car, and I had been much taken by a rather nice drop-head with a well-cared-for appearance.
“Well, she runs nicely,” I told my life after the try-out. “Good start-up, engine sounds sweet, low mileage and the right price. What do you think?”
“I don’t like it.” “Why not?”
“I don’t know. There’s just something about the salesman that I don’t believe.”
A few weeks after we had bought another car elsewhere, I happened to find out the history of the drop-head. It had been seriously damaged in a crash before we saw it, and cleverly done up. The car was, indeed, a very bad risk.
Of all the things about women that their husbands do not understand, perhaps the biggest question is this: How can she often be right about things of which she has absolutely no knowledge? How does a
woman’s intuition work? What is this strange power that tells her exactly when her husband isn’t working late on business, however honest he pretends to be? Is it guesswork, or some sixth sense that men don’t have?
46. When was the “first time” the husband felt “really shaken” by his wife’s intuition? A. When they bought another car.
B. When he learned about the history of the drop-head.. C. When he realized she knew so much about cars. D. When his wife spoke about the salesman.
47. What does a person’s intuition refer to according to this passage? A. The ability to see through things. B. The ability to make a quick decision.
C. The ability to pick out the best one among a number of things. D. The ability to know something by using one’s feelings.
48. Why didn’t the man know that the car was damaged at first? A. The damage was not serious at all. B. He was not careful enough. C. It had been skillfully repaired.
D. The salesman only tried it out smoothly.
49. What answer does the writer give to a woman’s intuition?
A. It is simply a blind guess. C. It must be the sixth sense.
B. It is a special kind of knowledge. D. He doesn’t really answer the question.
50. From the passage we learn that the salesman was _____. A. cheating B. honest C. helpful D. kind
Passage 2
Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.
Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn't it matter? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Should leave one in your lap or on the table?
The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman, and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.
The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other
people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

Passage 3
Cancer is among the top killer diseases in our society today and scientists have found out that stress helps to bring it on. It is worthwhile to consider, therefore, what are the causes of stress in our life, and whether we can do anything about it.
