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
gegraphein, 38 means o for earth and , the Greek word from two Greek words, write. The English word geography means o describe the earth. Some geography books focus on a small area like a town or city. 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.
We know, however, 45 no two places are exactly the same. Geography, then,
is a point of view, a special way of looking at places.

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.”
实用文档
“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.

2014年甘肃专升本考试公共课英语真题
2014年甘肃专升本考试公共课英语试题[真题] Part ⅠReading Comprehension (40points) Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and put the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 Many students who participated in the 2010 civil service exams(公务员考试)in China saw them as the “most difficult”due to their emphasis on general knowledge. This year, the Chinese central governmen t offices have opened 15,000 posts but it’s not large enough to find a home for the one million people applying. According to a 2009 Washington post report, US students are also giving government jobs a hard look. “T he Partnership for Public Service”poll(民意调查) found that about 90% of US students are interested in federal (联邦政府的) jobs. Nearly 84% gave the security offered by federal jobs as a reason. The same goes for students in the UK. A 2008 Daily Mail report found that applications from college graduates for government civil service jobs have surged 33% over 2007. Besides providing financial security, civil service jobs usually offer other benefits, especially in Asia. In India, for example, the average annual income is about $8, 116-more than 10 times higher. Plus, civil servants get a one-month paid holiday every year, 20 days of medical leave and 20-day half-paid vacation. 1.
