【2】B

【3】D

【解析】这是一篇介绍地图的小短文，主要介绍了地图上的图例，并以一副小地图作为实例进行了介绍以说明地图的重要性。

【1】句意：地图上最大的城镇是哪个？通过图例发现空心圆圈是“large town”（大城镇），找到对应的地名是“Greentown”，故选A。

【2】句意：如果你从Smalltown开车到Bluetown，最好选择哪条路？在地图上找到Smalltown和Bluetown两个地方，发现连接两地的有两条路线M13和R67，从图例中看出实心细线表示“Road”（道路），虚线表示“Rough Track”（崎岖小路），故如果驾车最好选择M13道路，故选B。

【3】句意：作者主要想告诉我们什么？选项A.选择地图的方法。选项B.阅读地图的方法。选项C.一些类型的地图。选项D.地图的重要性。本文主要是在介绍地图，用地图能看到什么，地图能表示什么，并通过一副地图形象地说明了这点，所以主题是关于“地图的重要性”的，没有提到如何选择地图，没有提到如何阅读地图，也没对地图的类型进行介绍，故选D。
