13．Have you ever studied a subject or brainstormed an idea，only to find yourself with pages of information，but no clear view of how it fits together？This is where Mind Mapping can help you．
Mind Mapping is a useful technique that helps you learn more effectively，improves the way that you record information，and supports and enhances creative problem solving．By using Mind Maps，you can quickly identify and understand the structure of a subject．You can see the way that pieces of information fit together，as well as recording the raw facts contained in normal notes．（36）F，as they help your mind recall and review．
Popularized by Tony Buzan，Mind Maps abandon the list format of conventional note taking．They do this in favor of a two-dimensional structure．A good Mind Map shows the'shape'of the subject，the relative importance of individual points，and the way in which facts relate to one another．（37）A．
1．Write the title of the subject you're exploring in the center of the page，and draw a circle around it．
2．As you come across major subdivisions or subheadings of the topic （or important facts that relate to the subject） draw lines out from this circle．Label these lines with these subdivisions or subheadings．
3．As you"burrow"into （挖掘） the subject and uncover another level of information （further subheadings，or individual facts） belonging to the subheadings，draw these as lines linked to the subheading lines．
4．（38）E．
5．As you come across new information，link it in to the Mind Map appropriately．
（39）D．Sub-topics and facts will branch off these，like branches and twigs from the trunk of a tree．You don't need to worry about the structure you produce，as this will evolve of its own accord．
（40）B．If you do any form of research or note taking，try experimenting with Mind Maps．You will find them surprisingly effective!
A．To draw a Mind Map，follow these steps：
B．More than this，Mind Maps help you remember information
C．Mind Mapping is an extremely effective method of taking notes．
D．When created using colors and images or drawings，a Mind Map can even resemble a work of art!
E．Then，for individual facts or ideas，draw lines out from the appropriate heading line and label them．
F．They help you to ssociate ideas and make connections that you might not otherwise make．
G．A complete Mind Map may have main topic lines radiating（發(fā)射） in all directions from the center．
分析 本文講述了思維導(dǎo)圖對(duì)記憶的重要性，有了思維導(dǎo)圖就能更加深刻地記憶信息．
解答 36-40 FAEDB
36．F 考查前后文聯(lián)系．根據(jù)空格后面的一句中的關(guān)鍵詞they，由此推斷此空格中的句子的主語(yǔ)必須是復(fù)數(shù)名詞，因此結(jié)合選項(xiàng)，以及選項(xiàng)的意思，故選F．
37．A 考查前后文聯(lián)系．根據(jù)空格下面馬上是一些步驟，故此題必然是選A（介紹mind map 的步驟的）．故選A．
38．E 考查前后文聯(lián)系．承接著上面一段，以及找出上一句的關(guān)鍵詞individual facts，可馬上將E選項(xiàng)鎖定為此題的答案，因?yàn)镋選項(xiàng)中也出現(xiàn)了individual facts此一關(guān)鍵詞．故選E．
39．D 考查前后文聯(lián)系．根據(jù)空格后面的內(nèi)容，可知一個(gè)完整的思維導(dǎo)圖可能會(huì)有主要的主題線從中心向各個(gè)方向輻射，故選D．
40．B 考查前后文聯(lián)系．根據(jù)空格后的note taking，可知思維導(dǎo)圖可以幫助你記住信息，故選B．
點(diǎn)評(píng) 七選五"這樣的題型，主要目的在于"考查考生對(duì)文章的整體內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)以及上下文邏輯意義的理解和掌握．解題時(shí)最主要的兩個(gè)步驟就是1．理清文章的邏輯和結(jié)構(gòu)，2．在所給的原文中找出關(guān)鍵詞或者說(shuō)是線索詞．文章的整體思路能幫助你在答案中篩選出符合邏輯的選項(xiàng)，關(guān)鍵詞則能幫助你確定更多的細(xì)節(jié)，排除相近的選項(xiàng)．這些技巧多練練就能孰能生巧．
