要找到meanannualtemperature就会找到答案。注意问题中的mean和average同义，都表示“平均的”，因此第1题的答案是67degreesFahrenheit。回答第2题时，应快速查找到关键信息minimumrainfall所处的大致位置。仔细阅

读这一部分内容后得知答案为inautumn。世纪商务英语阅读第四版(基础篇2)Unit7A．GuidedPracticeQuestions1-4arebasedonthepassagethatfollow.Readthequestionsfirstandthenfindtheanswersinthepassage.Whatwerethetwoproblemsinaddingvoicestofilms？世纪商务英语阅读第四版(基础篇2)Unit72.Whatwasthefirstfilmmadewithactors’voices？3.WhatdidWaltDisneycreate？4.Howmanypeoplewenttothecinemaeveryweekinthe1930s？世纪商务英语阅读第四版(基础篇2)Unit7TheSilverScreenTheearliestfilmscopiedthetechniquesofthestage.Itwasnotuntil1908thatthefamousAmericandirector,D.W.Griffiths,showedthatthecinemawasverydifferentfrom

pushworksdifferently.9“Ithinkwhenyoucelebrateteamsuccess,youhavepeople

Good,districtpresidentofAcountempsinSanFrancisco.译文8在那些有强烈团队精神的公司里，竞争的动力带来不同的效果！9位于旧金山的Acountemps地区负责人布雷特古得说：“我认为当你们庆祝团队胜利的时候要意识到：胜利是靠团队协作，而不是只是个人力量。”ComprehensiveReading世纪商务英语阅读第四版(基础篇2)Unit710Thatisapositiveapproachtoworkplacecompetitiveness.Itis

一家竞争的公司已开始实施一项新信用购物方案。e.g.Shipscan’trivalaircraftforspeed.轮船在速度方面无法与飞机匹敌。辨析：rival与foerival指追求同一目标的竞争者，有时常受个人感情的影响，使得竞争者变得互相不友好或带有恶意。如：Thetwomenwerenotonlyrivalsforthesamejobbutalsoforthesamegirl.这两位男子不但竞争同一职位，而且还追求同一个女子。

foe仇敌，与enemy相似，但foe更带有文学色彩或个人感情色彩。如：Dirtisadangerousfoetohealth.污物是健康的危险敌人。世纪商务英语阅读第四版(基础篇2)Unit7TextB2.Morethanhalfofthemsaidthatcompetitionamongemployeeswasmoreprevalentnowthan10yearsago.prevalenta.流行的，普遍的e.g.Is
