3．It was a cold March day in High Point，North Carolina．The girls on the Wesleyan Academy softball team were waiting for their next turns at bat during practice，stamping their feet to stay warm，Eighth-grader Taylor Bisbee shivered（發(fā)抖） a little as she watched her teammate Paris White play．The two didn't know each other well-Taylor had just moved to town a month or so before．
Suddenly，Paris fell to the ground．"Paris's eyes rolled back，"Taylor says．"She started shaking．I knew it was an emergency．"
It certainly was．Paris had suffered a sudden heart failure．Without immediate medical care，Paris would die．At first，no one moved．The girls were in shock．Then the softball coach shouted out，"Does anyone know CPR？"
CPR is a life-saving technique．To do CPR，you press on the sick person's chest so that blood moves through the body and takes oxygen to organs．Without oxygen the brain is damaged quickly．
Amazingly，Taylor had just taken a CPR course the day before．Still，she hesitated．She didn't think she knew it well enough．But when no one else came forward，Taylor ran to Paris and began doing CPR．"It was scary．I knew it was the difference between life and death，"says Taylor．
Taylor's swift action helped her teammates calm down．One girl called 911．Two more ran to get the school nurse，who brought a defibrillator，an electronic devices（器械） that can shock the heart back into work．Luck stayed with them：Paris' heartbeat returned．
"I know I was really lucky，"Paris says now．"Most people don't survive this．My team saved my life．"
Experts say Paris is right：For a sudden heart failure，the single best chance for survival is having someone nearby step in and do CPR quickly．
Today，Paris is back on the softball team．Taylor will apply to college soon．She wants to be a nurse．"I feel more confident in my actions now，"Taylor says．"I know I can act under pressure in a scary situation．"

4．While many people aren't getting enough calcium （鈣），new research cautions that some people may have the opposite problem：They could be getting too much.Americans spend more than ﹩1 billion a year on calcium supplements （補(bǔ)充劑） in hopes of delaying osteoporosis，the brittle bone disease that cripples many elderly women and some men.Yet recent studies link calcium supplements to a higher risk of heart attacks.Last month，the U.S.Preventive Services Task Force issued a draft recommendation against taking calcium and vitamin D，saying there wasn't enough evidence of benefit to justify the risk.
For generations of Americans who grew up encouraged to drink milk to maintain strong bones，the reports raised troubling questions：Is calcium not so important after all？Are the supplements unsafe？And how much is too much？ "It's gotten very confusing but it doesn't need to be，" says Ethel Siris，director of the Toni Stabile Osteoporosis Center in New York.How much calcium people need varies by age and gender. "Adults generally need 1，000 mg daily，rising to 1，200 mg for women over 50 and men over 70，according to guidelines issued in 2010.Children need 1，300 mg daily during the peak growing years of 9 to 18. "
People also need sufficient levels of vitamin D to absorb the calcium.The IOM recommends 600 international units a day for most adults，and 800 daily after age 70，although many physicians recommend more.It is difficult to take in that much vitamin D from food sources，so experts say many people should take vitamin D in supplement form.
Getting adequate （充足的） calcium from food is easier.For example，8 ounces of milk or 6 ounces of yogurt has 300 mg of calcium，and one cup of spinach has 270 mg.
But studies linking calcium supplements to heart attack have made experts more cautious of excess calcium than before.A study of 24，000 Germans published in the journal Heart last month，found that those who got their calcium exclusively from supplements were more than twice as likely to have a heart attack as those who took no supplements.
Exactly how calcium supplements might contribute to heart attacks baffles cardiologists （心臟病學(xué)家）. "Nobody has associated the calcium in your bloodstream with calcification （鈣化） in your arteries，" says Nieca Goldberg，medical director of the Joan H.Tisch Center.Still，she says she now urges patients get their recommended calcium from food than from supplements to avoid possible problems.
Osteoporosis experts also urge patients not to take more than the recommended amount of calcium. "People should definitely stop taking two big calcium supplements a day，" says Dr.Dawson-Hughes.Even if the risks remain unclear，taking more than the body can absorb doesn't benefit bones， "so it's not worth any risk. " She adds.
（1）What is Ethel Siris' opinion on taking calcium supplements？
A．Taking calcium supplements is unsafe.
B．Adults need more calcium than children.
C．Age and gender determine how much calcium is needed.
D．It is safer to take calcium from food than from supplements.
（2）What does the underlined word "baffle" in Paragraph 6 mean？
A．Interest.
B．Amaze.
C．Frighten.
D．Puzzle.
（3）What can we learn from the passage？
A．Taking two calcium supplements a day is good for health.
B．It might be wiser to take recommended calcium from food.
C．It is easy for people to obtain enough Vitamin D from food.
D．The benefits of taking calcium supplements outweigh its risks.組卷：7引用：2難度：0.3 -
5．Wilderness "In wilderness（荒野） is the preservation of the world．" This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism．The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection：whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved．
As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out，there is a strong appeal in images of the wild，the untouched；more than anything else，they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly．The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong，and the danger exploitation（開(kāi)發(fā)） brings to such landscapes（景觀） is real．Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need-the rainforests，for example，store carbon in vast quantities．To Mr．Sauven，these "ecosystem services" far outweigh the gains from exploitation．
Lee Lane，a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute，takes the opposing view．He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services，such as water conservation．But that is not，he argues，a reason to avoid all human presence，or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation．There are ever more people on the Earth，and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives，rather than merely struggle for survival．While the ways of using resources have improved，there is still a growing need for raw materials，and some wildernesses contain them in abundance．If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide，the argument goes，there is no further reason not to do so．Being untouched is not，in itself，a characteristic worth valuing above all others．
I look forwards to seeing these views taken further，and to their being challenged by the other participants．One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly．And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm．
This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings，but also the guidance of reason．What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking．
（1）John Sauven holds that．
A．many people value nature too much
B．exploitation of wildernesses is harmful
C．wildernesses provide humans with necessities
D．the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong
（2）What is the main idea of Para．3？
A．The exploitation is necessary for the poor people．
B．Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials．
C．Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation．
D．All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally．
（3）What is the author's attitude towards this debate？
A．Objective．
B．Disapproving．
C．Sceptical．
D．Optimistic．
（4）Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？．
A．
．
B．
