Answer 1

26.B 由原文“...he found a job on a coastal ship.He worked on the ship until he was 27 years old... He fought in Canada in a war against France...In 1768 King George made him captain(船 长）of a ship and sent him to the Pacific Ocean... Then he mapped the western coast of North America.” 可知事件发生的 顺序。

27.D 由原文 “ Before he started exploring ，maps of the Pacific Ocean were almost empty...then he joined the navy.He fought in Canada in a war against France and he mapped some of the eastern coasts of Canada.”可知在他开始探索前太平洋的地图 几乎是空白的，在他当了海军之后，在加拿大参加了对法战 争，并绘制了加拿大东海岸线。

28.D 由原文“In 1768 King George made him captain(船长）of a ship and sent him to the Pacific Ocean...When he returned he was regarded as a national hero.”可知，当他从太平洋回来的 时候，他被认为是民族英雄。

29.B 由原文“After that he returned to Hawaii...the Hawaiians and the white men and they started fighting.In the end Captain Cook was killed in a fight against the local.”可知库克船长被夏威夷人

杀害。
