Question

【題目】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.

【1】The instructions above mainly show us __________.

A. what mind maps are B. how to draw mind maps

C. what mind maps can do D. how to make mind maps better

【1】B

【2】D

【3】A

【解析】短文重點介紹了思維導(dǎo)圖的制作方法。思維導(dǎo)圖是展示我們需要學(xué)習(xí)的信息的一種很好的方式，我們可以使用思維導(dǎo)圖來進(jìn)行各種學(xué)習(xí)，對我們的學(xué)習(xí)有很大的幫助。

【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)短文所列舉的6條可知，短文主要介紹了思維導(dǎo)圖的制作方法。答案為B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一條“Draw a circle in the middle of the page and write the vocabulary subject in the middle.”可知，制作思維導(dǎo)圖時首先在頁面中間畫一個圓，在中間寫上詞匯主題，而不是以直線開始，A描述錯誤；根據(jù)第六條“To make the mind maps even better, use colour to show important ideas or parts of the map.”可知，思維導(dǎo)圖是可以有顏色的，B描述錯誤；根據(jù)第一段中的句子“You can use mind maps for all kinds of learning.”可知，思維導(dǎo)圖可以用于各種學(xué)習(xí)，C描述錯誤；根據(jù)短文開頭的句子“Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information that you need to learn.”（思維導(dǎo)圖是展示你需要學(xué)習(xí)的信息的一種很好的方式）可知，思維導(dǎo)圖是一張有用信息的圖片。故答案為D。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文前4點有關(guān)思維導(dǎo)圖的制作方法介紹可知，首先，在頁面中間畫一個圓；在圓圈中間寫上主題詞匯“運輸”；頭腦風(fēng)暴“運輸”，對于每一個詞組，從中心圓圈向外畫一條短直線，在畫上幾個圓圈，在圓圈里寫上海上運輸、陸上運輸、航空運輸。正確的順序為a-c-d-b.答案選A。
