11.NN解析：根据题干中的信息词40%和Vioxx“victims"定位到第一个小标题下的第二段，可知全国的律师事务所开始找服用过Vioxx的“受害者”以便提起公诉，而生产Vioxx的默克公司可能要为此赔偿数十亿美元，默克公司的股票在六周内狂跌40%也就不足为奇了。由此可知，默克公司股票的狂跌与服药者死亡无关。

12.C解析：同义转述题。本题要考查国家睡眠基金会所做的调查的相关结果。从原文可以得知，近1/3的人都患有打鼾的毛病，并且年龄越大，情况越糟糕，但是出乎人们意料的是，女性和男性患有打鼾的毛病几乎是一样的普遍。由此可知答案为C项。

13.privacyprivacy解析：原文中说，在需要对交易的便捷性与隐私性(convenience和privacy)做出选择时，多数人会选择便捷性。但是(however)对于现金，情况就不一样了。政府对电子货币监管越多，就会越促进纸币和硬币这种不怎么便捷的钱的使用。显然，在电子货币监管时代，人们使用纸币和硬币不是为了便捷性，而是为了保护自己的隐私。

14.NN解析：据题干中的信息词therightstart定位到第一个小标题下的第三段，在第二条建议中提到，不要将接待员或其他助理人员看成自己的部下，再结合其他几点建议可知，应聘人员应平和对待接待员，不应轻视他们，而题目提到的要将其视为未来的老板，显然言过其实。

15.NN解析：由题干可定位到第一个小标题下第四段第三句Thosethatdoacceptcheckcardsoftenputacertainamountofmoneyinyourbankaccount"onhold"。指示代词的指代关系处设题。本题考查借贷卡在某些场合的使用情况。根据原句意思，由those所指的对象来决定消费者账户中一定钱额的冻结。联系上文可知，those指Somehotelsandrentalcarservices，即宾馆或租车行。由此可知，题干中说消费者自己决定账户中冻结的钱额与原文不符。

16.inthehistoricalenvironmentinthehistoricalenvironment解析：由题干关键词gunfightinO.K.Corral可将答案定位至倒数第二段第三句。Tofullyunderstandwhathappenedinthehistoricalenvironment，theyreconstructedthegunfightonaWildWestmovieset…据此，空格里可以填入inthehistoricalenvironment。

17.silencesilence解析：细节辨认题[考频：27]。这句指出多亏了Wilcox保持沉默，这个4200英亩的大农场才能成为一个巨大的、完好无损的考古地点。
