教学建议
教学教法：
这篇文章内容平板，普通的处理会流于平庸。DIALOGUE前建议教师先提问：“why did so many seamen die during the long voyage?" "what will you take if you go through a forest?" 启发学生思维.教师在处理课文时，可紧紧抓住"库克少年时受人资助，战争中表现出色，航海中的特殊贡献"这一亮点，鼓励学生独立思考，勇于创新的精神.
这两篇课文主要围绕CAPTAIN COOK 富有传奇色彩的一生。要求学生不仅能够用英语描绘他的生平，而且汲取他勇于冒险的精神。教师可酌情要求学生对细节词汇的领悟，比如：p8中的二段中的：break out, join the navy ,defend, chart ,mark, down the river, defeat, seize......语法上可结合P8课文内容巩固上一单元定语从句的基本用法。
词语辨析：

另外，worthy用做形容词时，有"可尊敬的，有价值的"意思.在实际应用中往往带有幽默，讽刺或"还算不错"的意味.如：

He lived a worthy life.他过着有价值的生活.
