Question

【题目】Mind Maps

Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information that you need to learn. You can use mind maps for all kinds of learning. They work very well for vocabulary when you are learning a new language.

1 Draw a circle in the middle of the page and write the vocabulary subject in the middle. For example:

transport

2 Brainstorm some word groups for ‘transport’ and think of headings for each one. For example:

sea transport

land transport

air transport

For each one, draw a short line from the centre circle outwards. Add another circle and write the new group word in the middle.

3 Look at each group and try to add more groups. For example, in ‘land transport’ there are two sub-groups;

●road

●rail

Draw two more lines, add two more circles and write the two new headings inside them.

4 When you can’t make any new groups, add a line for each word you know. Write the words along the lines or, if you have space, write them inside more circles.

5 As you learn new vocabulary, add it to the mind map.

6 To make the mind maps even better, use colour to show important ideas or parts of the map.

【解析】短文重点介绍了思维导图的制作方法。思维导图是展示我们需要学习的信息的一种很好的方式，我们可以使用思维导图来进行各种学习，对我们的学习有很大的帮助。

【1】主旨大意题。根据短文所列举的6条可知，短文主要介绍了思维导图的制作方法。答案为B。

【2】细节理解题。根据第一条“Draw a circle in the middle of the page and write the vocabulary subject in the middle.”可知，制作思维导图时首先在页面中间画一个圆，在中间写上词汇主题，而不是以直线开始，A描述错误；根据第六条“To make the mind maps even better, use colour to show important ideas or parts of the map.”可知，思维导图是可以有颜色的，B描述错误；根据第一段中的句子“You can use mind maps for all kinds of learning.”可知，思维导图可以用于各种学习，C描述错误；根据短文开头的句子“Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information that you need to learn.”（思维导图是展示你需要学习的信息的一种很好的方式）可知，思维导图是一张有用信息的图片。故答案为D。

【3】细节理解题。根据短文前4点有关思维导图的制作方法介绍可知，首先，在页面中间画一个圆；在圆圈中间写上主题词汇“运输”；头脑风暴“运输”，对于每一个词组，从中心圆圈向外画一条短直线，在画上几个圆圈，在圆圈里写上海上运输、陆上运输、航空运输。正确的顺序为a-c-d-b.答案选A。
