答案与题解：
1C本空白处的前一句是介绍CPR是什么，而六个选项中，C项也是介绍CPR的，因此放在一起是恰当的。
2F本空白处的前一句说“439位病人仅仅接受了胸腔按压”，而第一段说过，“CPR包括胸部按压和白对口呼吸”，可见F项说“没做口对口呼吸的急救措施”是补充说明前一句的。
3B本空白处的前面两句说到，只用胸部按压抢救过来的人大脑受损比较小，存活下来的人中有22％大脑功能良好，接下来这一句肯定是要与传统的两种方法结合的抢救模式作对比，选项B正好是这样的内容。
4E本空白处的前一句是说美国心脏协会于2005年修改了CPR中胸部按压的指导准则，空白处的后面又没有提到如何修改，选项E正好填补了这个内容。而且还要注意，选项E中的Itsaid只能适用于AmericanHeartAssociation，其他空白处均不合适。
5D这一段都是叙述心脏疾病医生GordonEwy的观点，在其他地方都没有提到他，因此选项DHisstudiesshow…实际上已经为我们提供了答题的线索，内容也能前后衔接。
