【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章对地理学科进行了介绍。
71．
考查形容词。句意：地理学家比较和对比地球上的不同地方。修饰名词places应用形容词作定语。形容词various意为“不同的”。故填various。
72．
考查定语从句。句意：“geography”这个词来自两个希腊词:“ge”，希腊语中表示“地球”，“graphein”的意思是“书写”。在非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，且先行词为graphein，所以应用关系代词which，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
73．
考查代词。句意：另一些则涉及一个国家、一个地区、一个民族或整个大陆。根据“Some geography books”可知，此处是指另外一些书，应用代词others代指，作主语。句首首字母应大写。故填Others。
74．
考查不定冠词。句意：另一些则涉及一个国家、一个地区、一个民族或整个大陆。根据“a state, a region, a nation”可知，此处应用不定冠词表示泛指，entire开头发音为元音，所以应用不定冠词an。故填an。
75．
考查to do不定式。句意：另一些则涉及一个国家、一个地区、一个民族或整个大陆。修饰抽象名词way应用to do不定式。故填to divide。
76．
考查介词。句意：前者关注自然世界；后者从人类开始，研究人类和环境如何相互作用。act on/upon意为“对……起作用”，为固定搭配，所以应用介词on或upon。故填on/upon。
77．
考查形容词。句意：但当地理作为一门单一学科时，任何一个分支都不能忽视另一个分支。根据the other可知，此处是指两个分支都不能忽视对方，应用形容词neither表示“两者都不的”，修饰名词branch。故填neither。
78．
考查名词复数。句意：地理学家可以被描述为观察、记录和解释各地差异的人。作动词explains的宾语应用名词，名词difference意为“不同”，地方之间的差异有很多，所以应用名词复数。故填differences。
79．
考查宾语从句。句意：然而，我们知道，没有两个地方是完全相同的。在宾语从句中不缺少成分和意义，所以应用从属连词that引导。故填that。
80．
考查动名词。句意：地理是一种观点，一种观察地方的特殊方式。在介词of后应用动名词作宾语。故填looking。
