As the most important kinds of measure teaching, the college entrance examination puts forward higher standards for students’ ability of charts application. So it is very meaningful for the research of charts in the papers and it can help us more efficient teaching.The main methods of paper which have been used are literature analysis, comparative studies, case method. Firstly, using the literature analysis it made a systemic analyzing for the domestic and international relevant teaching strategies and teaching strategies in geography. Secondly, using the comparative studies it made a series of statistics for the geographic chart characteristics and trends consist of chart types, the testing contents and skills for the charts, the score of charts in the papers from2007to2013. And it made a comparison for the chart applications about the papers in the different years on the basis of above research. Thirdly, it made a collation and summary for the charts classification, application and the trend of chart types’ using in the recent years paper.
