第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题1.5分，满分30）
A
It was a quarter past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she would be working. Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided she would start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the building, she had to stand at the lifts and wait several minutes before one arrived. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises," she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no reply. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. At the far end of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any mind to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive at any moment. Then Marie realised that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.

59. We can infer (推断) from the passage that the employees of the enterprise _______.
A. would start their work day by listening to a joke B. were considerate to newcomers

A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.
At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.
During the next two decades, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.
61. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.
B. People who regularly eat fish never suffer from hear disease.
C. Heart disease causes more deaths in America than any other disease.
D. There is a low level of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenland.
62. The underlined words “lean fish” (paragraph 5) roughly mean “_______”.
A. large fish B. fresh fish C. fish that live in salt water D. fish that have little fat 63. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries B. the effect of fish eating on people’s health
C. the changes in people’s diet D. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures
64. We can infer from the passage that there are fewer heart disease deaths ________.
A. in Dutch B. in America
C. in the countries with high consumption of fish D. in the countries with good production of fish
65. The phrase “this relationship” (paragraph 6) refers to the connection between
_________ and the level of heart disease.
A. the amount of fish eaten B. regular fish-eating C. the kind of fish eaten D. people of different areas
