Two new high-resolution spectroscopic datasets of the active binary V711 Tau are analyzed here. Using the Least-Squares Deconvolution method, we have derived the time series profiles of V711 Tau with high signal-to-noise ratio, which have been used to reconstruct the starspot patterns for its two components by means of the Doppler imaging code DoTS. The results show that the high latitude spots are main features for the primary, the low latitude spots are clear for the secondary in both of two observing runs, and the starspot pattern changes obviously during one month. The lifetime of intermediate-low latitude spots is shorter than the high latitude spots for the primary, the low latitude spots of the secondary seem to have a longer lifetime.
