How would we travel without maps? It would be a bit adventurous (冒險的) to set off from Oxford University to go to London Bridge if there wasn't a map of the London Underground at each station. In fact, a lot of the early map-makers were adventurers and explorers, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries.
So what did people do before there were maps? Well, it was quite easy to use natural signs like mountains and rivers if you were travelling on foot or riding a horse. People took small boats down rivers and followed coastlines. And it was much more logical (合理的) to use time, not distance, to measure (計量) journeys: the next village is a three-hour ride, for example.
In fact, in the earliest maps, people didn't draw landmarks. They drew the stars. It was very easy to see the night sky and use it for navigation (航行). The sky was a lot clearer before the light pollution from cities that we have today. When towns and cities were built, people drew road maps which gave correct distances and directions.
The London Underground was opened in 1863 and it also used a road map style. But a man called Henry Beck realized that travelling by train wasn't the same as driving your car across London. Passengers only needed to know which stations to change at. His new design (設(shè)計) for the Underground map wasn't very popular with the train companies at first. But the passengers loved it and in 1933, 700,000 copies were printed.
These days, of course, you can ride a bike, drive a car or go through a forest and know where you are exactly, using a GPS. It's really difficult to get lost!
【小題1】What was drawn in the earliest maps?

A.Stars.

閱讀理解。
     Different types of maps have different uses.
Tourist maps, for example, have signs (標志) 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.
    Road maps show large areas so that people can
plan long journeys. Different types of roads are
given different numbers. For example, if you want
to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621
Road and keep looking at the road signs.
    Distribution maps (分布圖) use colors or signs to
show facts about an area. For example, where
different languages are spoken, 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. This is easy for people
to read. 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.
1. Jim wants to visit some places of interest. Which map does he need most?
A. A road map.
B. A tourist map.
C. A distribution map.
D. A railway map.
2. How can you tell different roads on Road maps?
A. By finding the numbers.
