Pre-reading
• Look at the pictures. Then answer the questions. 1 How do you think seamen found their way before modern accurate methods of navigation were invented? Kept close to the shore, used nature such as the sun, wind, birds, tide, etc, to help them, and used some of the instruments including a compass, astrolabe, etc.
4 Which ones do you think are still used today? Sea charts are still used today.
Comprehending
1 Read the passage and answer the following questions. 1 What is the use of a bearing circle, astrolabe, quadrant or sextant? (B)
3 What would you do if you came across the following problems during your voyage? Read the chart below and fill in your plans of action to deal with them.
In pairs discuss these questions: 1 What is a navigator?
A navigator explores new routes across the sea. 2 What is the difference between a navigator and an explorer?
2 Suppose you were a sea captain aiming to sail round Africa. Discuss in groups:
1 What skills would you seek in your sailors?
The sailors would need to be excellent navigators, able to cope with both hot and cold weather, experienced in sailing through very bad weather and able to co-operate in a team.
2 Why are speed and time important in working out the longitude of a ship?
Speed and time are important in finding out the longitude of a ship because the earth moves fifteen degrees westwards every hour. If you know your direction, speed and time, you can work out the approximate longitude or change in your position in relation to the stars.
A navigator explores the sea; an explorer discovers new places on land.
3 Look at these famous people. Are they navigators or explorers? What do you know about them?
3 Sailors used _se_a__c_u_rr_e_n_ts__o_r_ti_d_e_s_a_n_d__w_i_n_ds to increase their speed.
Using instruments 4 There were two methods to find longitude:

You were offshore but you needed more food and water.
follow nesting birds to shore; look for special cloud formations or fog over streams to find land
2 What problems would you anticipate for this journey?
I would anticipate very hot weather (around the equator), cold weather (around the Cape of Good Hope), very stormy seas (around the Cape), and problems with food and water (unless helped by local natives the water may be contaminated and the food scarce), etc.
What is the use of a compass? (A) A to set the course of the ship B to measure the position of the ship C to measure the speed of the ship D to tell the time

Navigator sea nautical (航海的) instruments
find new islands or continents
Navigator is someone who finds the position and plots the course of a ship, an aircraft, a car, etc, using maps and instruments.
He (1728-1779) was the greatest Britain navigator. He enlisted in the Royal Navy in 1755.
In 1768 he was promoted and sent to the Pacific where he surveyed Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia. On his famous 2nd expedition (1772-75) he explored Antarctica. In 1776 in his third and final voyage, he explored the West coast of North America and discovered the Hawaiian Islands.
Which ones do you think are still used today?
Sea charts are still used today.
astrolabe
sextant
The sextant is a navigational instrument for measuring the angle between the horizon and some object in the sky. First a sailor looks at the horizon through an eyepiece. At the same time he can see light from the sun or a star reflected off a small mirror on top of the instrument, onto a second mirror and into the eyepiece.

3 Look at these famous people. Are they navigators or explorers? What do you know about them?
3 Why is the position of the sun and various stars useful for working out latitude?
The position of the sun and stars are useful for working out latitude because they are fixed points in the sky and their movements in relation to the earth are already known. So they can be used to measure a ship's position.

Unit 2 Sailing the oceans 当今航海技术达到前所未有的水平，那么你知道古代一些有关航海方面的仪器吗？Sinan，the ancient Chinese compassIt was invented by Zhang Heng in the Han Dynasty.It is madeup of a bronze foundation (青铜底盘) and magnetic spoon(磁勺)which is made of natural magnet，positioned right in the centerof the foundation.The handle of the spoon points to the south，while the other side points to the north.When the Sinan is in the still，the handle of the spoon points to the south because of the influence of the terrestrial magnetism (地磁)．AstrolabeIt has 17 stars listed as well as a map of the sky overhead(for 37 degrees) and the ecliptic (黄道)．The time of day or nightis on the outside edge with noon at the top of the Astrolabe andmidnight at the bottom.It comes with a carrying chain，a pouch，and a book on its use.The reverse side has a sight for measuringthe elevations of the heavenly bodies.SextantThe sextant is a navigational instrument for measuring theangle between the horizon and some object in the sky.First a sailorlooks at the horizon through an eyepiece.At the see light fromthe sun or a star reflected off a small mirror on top of theinstrument，onto a second mirror and into the eyepiece.The navigator can then see two images，the horizon and the sun side by side.He can then measure the angle between them on a scale at the bottom of the instrument.The scale goes from 0 to 120 degrees.An earlier instrument，called a quadrant，measured in angle in the same way but it could only measure angles from 0 to 90 degrees.Nautical chartNautical charts are maps of the depth of the sea and thecurrents of the oceans.They provide modern sailors with routes through the seas，rather like roads through the countryside.The information began to be collected in the nineteenth century and has continued to be updated ever since.These charts were not available to Captain Bligh or Zheng He.两个诱思问题1．What is the theory of the Sinan invented by Zhang Heng?2．Why were the Nautical charts not able to be used by Captain Bligh or Zheng He?【答案】1．The influence of the terrestrial magnetism.2．Because the information began to be collected in the nineteenth century.Section ⅠReading (Warming Up, Prereading，Reading & Comprehending)Ⅰ.根据词性及英文释义写出单词的正确形式1．n．kindness；forgiveness2．n．activity of exploring3．adj.above one's head4．adj.at sea not far from land5．adj.made or done without any plan6．adj.difficult to use7．n．act of mentioning；act of looking at for information8．adj.light and that can be(easily) carried or moved【答案】 1.mercy 2.exploration 3.overhead4.offshore5.random6.awkward7.reference8.portableⅡ.短语填空I prefer to walk there take a bus.2．The boat was the rapid river.3．This novel become a classic.4． those who are suffering，we are better off.5．I believe that you can this problem by yourself.【答案】 1.rather than 2.at the mercy of3.may wellpared with5.work outⅠ.阅读P12－13课文内容，从三个选项中选择最佳答案1．How many traditional methods used by seamen are mentioned in the passage?A．Four.

Talk about sailing the oceans.Teaching Methods:Discussion to arouse the students’ interest in sailing and exploring the oceans. Individual, pair or group work to make every student work in class.Teaching Aids:The multimedia; a tape recorder; the blackboardTeaching Procedures:Step1 GreetingsGreet the whole class as usual.Step2 RevisionCheck the homework exercises.Step 3 PresentationPresent the students a map of the world and tell them “Today we are going to learn a new unit “Sailing the oceans”. Then ask them to turn to page 11 and give them a few minutes to have a discussion.Step 4 DiscussionIn pairs discuss the questions on page11.This discussion is intended for students to explore the difference between a navigator and an explorer. This difference is important to establish because it encourages students to appreciate shades of meaning in the definitions f words and also because it establishes the idea of categories.After a few minutes, ask some pairs to speak out their result of the discussion. Then sum up and check the answers.A navigator explores new routes across the sea.An explorer discovers new places on land.A navigator is somebody who finds the position and plots the course of a ship, an aircraft, a car, etc, using maps and instruments. An explorer is somebody who travels into or through a place in order to learn about it. Very often navigators are also explorers.In history there are four famous voyage explorers in the world, including Zheng He in China, James Cook in England, Christopher Columbus in Spain and Abel Tasman in Holland.In this unit we’ll talk about Zheng He, James Cook and some other explorers like Marco Polo and Captain Bligh.Step 5 Pre-speakingAsk the students if they want to know some famous navigators and explorers. Then present them some pictures and some related information about them.About Zheng He.About Marco PoloAbout James CookAbout Ferdinand MagellanStep 6 SpeakingAfter showing the students the pictures and their background information, ask the students to think about the question: How do you think seamen found their way before modern accurate methods of navigation were invented? If time is limited, this can be left as their homework.Step 7 Homework1. Read the new words.2. Preview Reading SAILING THE OCEANS on page 12.The Second Period ReadingTeaching Aims:a. Learn and master the key words and expressionsvoyage mercy minimum nowhere pole overhead offshore accelerate outward longitude latitude precise simplify portable shortcoming updated tendency reliableat the mercy of, even though, work out, be used to, in relation to, aim to , …b. Train the students’ reading ability. Let the students have some knowledge of early navigational methods. Explain how seamen explored the oceans and what kind of navigational instruments were used to sailors before the 17th century when they were navigating the open seas without seeing the land.Teaching Difficult Points:How to help the students understand the reading passage better.How to im prove the students’ reading ability.Teaching Methods:Scanning the text to get the general idea of it.Carefully reading to finish the Comprehending exercises on page 14.Discussion after reading to make the students understand the text better. Teaching Aids:The multimedia; a tape recorder; the blackboardTeaching procedures & waysStep1 GreetingsGreet the whole class as usual.Step2 RevisionCheck the homework exercises.Step3 Pre-readingShow the students some pictures to see if they can identify the early navigational instruments seamen used and explain how they used.Step 4 DiscussionDiscuss the questions on page11.Step 5 Listening and comprehendingAfter listening to the contents of the text do the comprehending exercises on page 14&15.Step 6 ExplanationAfter comprehending, it is a good time to deal with the new words and language points in this part, esp. the following:voyage mercy minimum nowhere pole overhead offshore accelerate outward longitude latitude precise simplify portable shortcoming updated tendency reliableat the mercy of, even though, work out, be used to, in relation to, aim to , Step7 DiscussionLet’s the students have a discussion by working in pairs or in groups.Topic: Imagine you are on a boat with twenty-nine other people. You have a small box for your personal things but it can only hole ten items. What would you need for a week’s journey across the North Sea to England?Step8 SummaryThis reading explains how seamen explored the oceans and what kind of navigational instruments were used to sailors before the seventeenth century when they were navigating the open seas without seeing the land.Step9 HomeworkFinish the exercises about using words and expression on page61.The Third Period Extensive ReadingTeaching Aims:a. Learn and master the key words and expressionsincident departure crew deposit dilemma drawback dusk routine pretty starvation extreme psychologically tension gradually foresee thirst hardshipb. Train the students’ reading ability.Teaching Difficult Points:a. How to help the students understand the reading passage better.b. How to improve the students’ reading ability.Teaching Methods:Scanning the text to get the general idea of it and do some other comprehending exercises.Discussion after reading to make the students understand the text better. Teaching Aids:The multimedia; a tape recorder; the blackboardTeaching procedures & waysStep1 GreetingsGreet the whole class as usual.Step2 RevisionCheck the homework exercises.Suggested answers to Exercise3:I have gradually accepted the routine at school now that I am in the advanced class and make my own study plan.The drawback of using that girl for the advertising was her square jaw which made her look unfriendly.Mathematics is a subject which demands precise and accurate work.In the park I saw a small boy holding the string of a kite overhead, which was rising and falling at the mercy of the wind.That explorer wanted to secure his place in history by being the first man to reach the South Pole.Step3 Readinga. Listen to the passage and then let them do some true or false questions according to the text.1. I was forced to join Captain Bligh in the small boat.2. After the crew took over the ship “Boundy”, Captain Bligh was allowed to take with him a chart , a compass and a quadrant.3. It was very difficult for us to get a correct reading from the quadrant as the boat moved constantly during the course.4. Captain Bligh used a system called “dead reckoning” and he knew there was land directly southwest of their original position.5. We completely believed Captain Bligh when he talked hopefully about what we would do when we got back to England.6. Captain Bligh was as weak as the rest of us but he was determined not to give up.7. Captain Bligh kept us busy and tried to take our minds off our stomach and thirst all the way.8. We finally escaped the jaws of death and arrived in Timor over fifty days after being set loose in our small boat.Answers: (FFTFFTTF)b. Give the students a few minutes to read the passage again and then get the general idea of the text.This is the storey of Captain Bligh’s amazing journey across the Pacific Ocean in an open boat with his followers after another group of sailors under Fletcher Christian had taken over the ship. Later Captain Bligh and his men made for the island of Timor using a combination of navigational skill and “dead reckoning”, which is guessing the correct direction. The voyage lasted over 40 days and was one of the greatest examples of survival at sea.c. Explain some difficult sentences, phrases and words.Key phrases:1. in addition 另外There was an earthquake and, in addition, there were tsunamis.除了地震之外，还有海啸。
