Commercialrisks are handled essentially as normal credit risks encountered in day-to-daybusiness. They include solvency, default, or refusal to pay bills.

Thealternatives for the exporter were reducing the price, reselling the potatoes,or shipping them home again, each involving considerable cost.

Politicalrisk relates to the problems of war or revolution, currency inconvertibility,expropriation or expulsion, and restriction or cancellation of import licenses.Political risk is an environmental concern for all businesses. Managementinformation systems and effective decision-making processes are the bestdefenses against political risk.

第9、10、11、12、13、14、15题：
The Threat to Kiribati
The people of Kiribati are afraid that one day in the not-too-distant future, their country will disappear from the face of the earth- literally. Several times this year, the Pacific island nation has been flooded by a sudden high tide. These tides, which swept across the island and destroyed houses, came when there was neither wind nor rain. “This never happened before,” say the older citizens of Kiribati.
What is causing these mysterious high tides? The answer may well be global warming. When fuels like oil and coal are being burned, pollutants (污染物)are released; these pollutants trap heat in the earth’s atmosphere. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand and also create more water by melting glaciers (冰川 )and polar (极地的) ice caps.
If the trend continues, scientists say, many countries will suffer, Bangladesh, for example, might lose one-fifth of its land. The coral (珊瑚) island nations of the Pacific, like Kiribati and the Marshall Islands, however, would face an even worse fate – they would be swallowed by the sea. The loss of these coral islands would be everyone’s loss. Coral formations are home to more species than any other place on earth.
The people of these nations feel frustrated. The sea, on which their economies have always been based, is suddenly threatening their existence. They don’t have the money for expensive technological solutions like seawalls. And they have no control over the pollutants, which are being released mainly by activities in large industrialized countries. All they can do is to hope that industrialized countries will take steps to reduce pollution.
16. The people of Kiribati worry that one day their country will be taken away by a sudden high tide.
A Right           B Wrong           C Not mentioned
17. High tides used to attack Kiribati when there was strong wind or heavy rain.
A Right           B Wrong           C Not mentioned
18. The heat released by burning oil and coal is the direct cause of global warming.
A Right           B Wrong           C Not mentioned
19. Scientists are not sure how serious the effects of global warming will be.
A Right           B Wrong           C Not mentioned
20. The coral island nations of the Pacific have a long history of civilization.
A Right           B Wrong           C Not mentioned
21. The people of the coral island nations are unable to do anything substantial about the problem of global warming.
A Right           B Wrong           C Not mentioned
22. Some industrialized countries are unwilling to spend money in reducing pollution.
A Right           B Wrong           C Not mentioned

Graphene's Superstrength
Big technology comes in tiny packages. New cell phones and personal computers get smaller every year, which means these electronics require even smaller components on the inside. Engineers are looking for creative ways to build these components, and they've turned their eyes to graphene, a superthin material, made of carbon, that could change the future of electronics.
This year's Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov from the University of Manchester, UK. for the discovery of graphene. Graphene isn't just small, it's "the thinnest possible material in this world." says Novoselov. He calls it a "wonder material." It's so thin that you would need to stack about 25,000 sheets just to make a pile as thick as a piece of ordinary white paper. If you were to hold a sheet of graphene in your fingers, you'd have no idea because you wouldn't be able to see it.
Carbon is one of the most abundant elements in the universe. Every known kind of life contains carbon. Graphene is a sheet of carbon, but only one atom thick. You don't have to look far to find graphene—it's all around you.
If you want this high-tech wonderstuff, all you need is a pencil, paper and a little adhesive tape. Use the pencil to shade a small area on the paper, and then apply a small piece of adhesive tape over the area. When you pull up the tape, you'11 see that it pulls up a thin layer of some of the shading from your pencil. That layer is called graphite, one of the softest minerals in the world.
Now stick the same piece of tape on another sheet of paper and pull the tape up---there should be an even thinner layer, this time left on the paper. Now imagine that you do this over and over, until you get the thinnest possible layer of material on the paper. This layer would be only one atom thick, and you wouldn't be able to see it. Graphite is made of layers of graphene. So when you get to the thinnest possible layer, you've found graphene.
31. What would change the future of electronics according to engineers?
A. Personal computer.
B. Big technology.
C. Creative ways.
D. Graphene.
32. Which of the following statements about graphene is true ?
A. It is visible to the human eye.
B. It can be used to make paper.
C. Finding it demands time and money.
D. It is possibly the thinnest material in the world.
33. The word “apply” in paragraph 4 could be used to replaced by
A. push.
B. Put.
C. Find.
D. collect.
34. What does the writer tell in the last two paragraph ?
A. Significance of the discovery of graphene.
B. Development of high-tech wonders.
C. An easy way to find graphene.
D. Possible applications of graphene.
35. Graphene's super strength lies in the fact that
A. it can help to make electronic components smaller.
B. it is the thinnest material in the world.
C. it consists of graphite，one of the softest materials in the world.
D. it helps engineers to produce more sensitive electronic products.

第24、25、26、27、28题：　　Stress Level Tied to Education Level
People with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to a report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
However, the study also found that when 1ess-educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.
From this, researchers have concluded that the day-to-day factors that cause stress are not random.Ⅵr11ere you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.
The research team interviewed a national sample of 1.03 1 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health.People without a high school diploma reported stress on 30 percent of the study days，people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time，and people with college degrees reported stress 44 percent of the time.
‘Less advantaged people are less healthy on a daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health。’”lead researcher Dr.Joseph Grzywacz，of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement.“The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors.and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating for the less advantaged.”
Grzywacz suggested follow-up research to determine why less-educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress is more acute and chronic.
“If something happens every day, maybe it’snot seen as a stressor”Grzywacz says.“Maybe it is just 1ife.”
词汇：
stressful adj.紧张的;压力重的
diploma n.毕业文凭，毕业证书
stressor n.紧张刺激物
devastating adj.毁灭性的
follow-up n.(对病人的)随访
31. Stress level is closely related to

B)during one of eight days.
C)all by Grzywacz.
D)in groups.
33. Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days?
A)People without any education.
B)People without high school degrees.
C)People with high school degrees.
D)People with college degrees.
34.The less advantaged people are，the greater
A)the impact of stress on their health is.
B)the effect of education on their health is
C)the level of their education is.
D)the degree of their health concern is.
35.Less—educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because
A)they don’t want to tell the truth.
B)they don’t want to face the truth.
C)stress is too common a factor in their life.
