Question

【题目】

There are many types of maps in the world. Most of them are widely used in our everyday life. Different maps have different uses.When we are in a new place, a proper map may help us solve the problems easily.

Tourist (游客) maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area.When tourists read these maps,it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places, too.

Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long trips. We use different numbers to stand for different roads. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.

Distribution (分布) maps use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, what languages people speak, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether a place is short of water.

Some maps, such as railway maps, use straight lines to show everything. It is easy for people to read them. Trains are fast. People don’t have to think about small places they go past. They just need to know the two ends of their trips.
