21、爭(zhēng)議的焦點(diǎn)可能在B和C之間，supplier 還是provider。
supplier更側(cè)重于提供某種產(chǎn)品(朗文：a company or person that provides a particular product)
provider強(qiáng)調(diào)提供某種服務(wù)(朗文：a company or person that provides a service)
聯(lián)系這個(gè)空后面的banking serving，這里應(yīng)該選擇provider。
23、network 相互關(guān)系(配合)的系統(tǒng)
branch network 由分支機(jī)構(gòu)構(gòu)成的網(wǎng)絡(luò)。
這個(gè)詞很好理解，看一遍就會(huì)了。如果是第一次選，沒(méi)準(zhǔn)會(huì)選中system
28、cope with后接事 deal with可接人和事
handle是及物動(dòng)詞，后面直接接人和事，相當(dāng)于deal with
31、loan application 貸款申請(qǐng)
apply for loan 固定用法
33、go through 仔細(xì)的查看，后面正好和customer service review搭配。
driving force和customer base屬于固定用法
