110 關務升官等考試簡任 技術類(選試機械設計學研究) 中華民國憲法與英文 考古題詳解
第 一 題25 分
為防範嚴重特殊傳染性肺炎(COVID-19)傳播,對於自中華民國境外移入之人,主管機關於入境時,開立「旅客入境健康聲明暨居家檢疫通知書」,要求至特定地點檢疫 14 天。請從憲法規定與釋憲實務,說明這項檢疫措施有無符合憲法。
參考法條:
傳染病防治法第 58 條第 1 項:
主管機關對入、出國(境)之人員,得施行下列檢疫或措施,並得徵收費用:……四、對自感染區入境、接觸或疑似接觸之人員、傳染病或疑似傳染病病人,採行居家檢疫、集中檢疫、隔離治療或其他必要措施……。
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題在考察防疫檢疫對人民基本權的限制,是否具備法律依據,並符合憲法上的法律明確性、比例原則及正當法律程序。
命題當年(民國 110 年),傳染病防治法第 58 條第 1 項第 4 款規定,主管機關得對自感染區入境、接觸或疑似接觸傳染病者,採行居家檢疫、集中檢疫、隔離治療或其他必要措施。其限制目的在防止傳染病蔓延,保障人民生命及身體健康。
解題方法
依序檢視「基本權限制、法律依據、比例原則、正當程序」:
-
基本權限制:要求入境者在指定地點停留 14 日,限制其行動自由。若只是居家檢疫,尚未達到釋字第 690 號所稱「留置於指定處所、不得與外界接觸」的強制隔離程度;若措施實際上已使人不能離開特定場所、不能與外界接觸,則可能涉及憲法第 8 條人身自由。無論如何,均應受憲法第 23 條限制基本權的要求拘束。
-
法律保留及明確性:措施須有法律依據。傳染病防治法第 58 條第 1 項第 4 款已授權主管機關採行居家或集中檢疫;檢疫的對象、目的與措施種類可由條文及防疫脈絡理解,並可受司法審查。
-
比例原則:依序檢視目的正當性、手段適合性、必要性及狹義比例性。防止疫情傳播、保障生命健康屬重大公共利益;對境外移入者進行一定期間檢疫,足以降低病毒傳入及擴散風險。是否須採取這項限制、檢疫多久及採何種方式,應衡量疫情、傳染途徑與潛伏期等專業因素,且限制不得超過防疫所需。
-
正當法律程序:釋字第 690 號認為,防疫措施可由具專業的主管機關迅速決定,不必一律先由法院裁定;但人民仍應有行政爭訟等救濟途徑。
第 二 題25 分
全球處於嚴重特殊傳染性肺炎(COVID-19)疫情肆虐下,各國向國際藥廠採購疫苗。立法委員為明瞭政府疫苗採購進度及資訊等相關事宜,擬加以調查。請從憲法與憲法實務,論述立法院之調查權的憲法基礎、行使方式與限制為何?
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查立法院為監督政府、取得立法所需資訊,能否調查政府疫苗採購,以及調查權的憲法依據、程序和界限。作答主軸是:立法院享有調查權,但它是輔助立法院行使憲法職權的權力,不能藉調查取代行政、監察或司法機關的職權,也不得侵害人民基本權利。
本題法規以**命題當年(民國110年)**為準。當時《立法院職權行使法》尚未增訂調查委員會及調查專案小組制度的「調查權」專章;113年修法後有重要變動,且相關條文經憲法法庭113年憲判字第9號判決宣告部分違憲或失效。以下仍依民國110年法規與當時憲法實務作答。
憲法基礎
憲法未明文列出「立法院調查權」作為獨立職權,但立法院行使憲法所賦予的立法、預算審議、行政監督等職權,必須取得必要資訊。因此,調查權是立法院行使憲法職權所必要的輔助性權力。
司法院釋字第325號解釋承認,立法院為行使憲法職權,得要求有關機關就議案涉及事項提供參考資料;必要時,經院會決議得調閱文件原本。司法院釋字第585號解釋進一步肯認,立法院本於固有權能,享有一定範圍的調查權,得要求與調查事項有重要關聯的政府人員或人民提供證言或表示意見,並得採取合理、必要的強制措施,但行使方式與程序須由法律規定。
憲法第67條第2項也規定,各種委員會得邀請政府人員及社會上有關係人員到會備詢。這項邀請權與前述調查權的實際行使方式相互配合,但不因此使立法院取得不受限制的傳喚、搜索或扣押權。
解題方法
依「能否調查—如何調查—有哪些界限—套用本案」的順序作答:
- 先說明調查權的憲法地位:它是輔助立法、預算及行政監督等職權的必要權力。
- 再說明調查對象及方式:調查事項須與立法院憲法職權有重要關聯,並透過院會或委員會決議,要求資料、調閱文件或邀請相關人員說明。
- 接著交代界限:遵守權力分立、基本權保障、法律保留及比例原則,並尊重其他憲法機關獨立行使職權及行政機關的機密保護。
- 最後套用疫苗採購:政府採購疫苗涉及公共衛生政策、預算執行與政府施政監督,具有公共重要性;但具體調查範圍與手段仍須符合前述關聯性及限制。
行使方式
立法院可透過下列方式蒐集資訊:
- **要求提供資料:**依釋字第325號解釋,得要求有關機關提供與議案相關的參考資料。
- **調閱文件:**必要時,經院會決議調閱文件原本。調閱須為行使憲法職權所必要,不能漫無目的地索取資料。
- **邀請人員說明:**依憲法第67條第2項,委員會得邀請政府人員及社會上有關係人員到會備詢;依釋字第585號解釋,調查權亦得要求與調查事項有重要關聯者提供證言或表示意見。
- **依法採取合理措施:**若為使調查有效,得有法律依據地採取合理、必要的措施;不得僅以調查權名義,直接創設沒有法律依據的強制處分或制裁。
釋字第729號解釋另就檢察機關偵查卷證指出,立法院不得調閱偵查中案件卷證;對已偵查終結案件卷證的調閱,也須有目的、範圍明確且與立法院憲法職權有重大關聯的特定議案,並遵守相關保密及權利保障要求。

第 1 題2 分
Sean has been very slow in doing things. That’s why he is always ____ for school.
核心觀念
本題考查形容詞的字義與前後文判讀。Sean 做事很慢,因此「上學時總是__」;空格應填表示「遲到」的形容詞。
解題方法
先抓前後文的因果關係:Sean 做事慢,結果是上學常常遲到。能表達「遲到的」是 tardy,所以選(C)。
選項分析
- (A) rash:魯莽的、草率的,形容行為欠缺謹慎,與「做事慢所以常遲到」的語意不合。
第 2 題2 分
The presidential candidate was so well-liked by his supporters that many people would ____ forward across the crowd to shake hands with him.
核心觀念
本題考「動詞+副詞/介系詞」的語意與搭配。句意是:這位總統候選人深受支持者喜愛,因此許多人會在人群中__向前,與他握手。空格需要表示「擠、推進」的動詞。
解題方法
先抓住關鍵片語 forward across the crowd(在人群中向前),再看後面的目的 to shake hands with him(與他握手)。人群擁擠時,為了靠近候選人而「向前擠」最符合上下文,因此選 press forward。
選項分析
- (A) press:正確。 press forward 表示「向前擠、奮力前進」。句意是許多人會在人群中向前擠,去與候選人握手。
- **(B) depress:錯誤。
第 3 題2 分
After the diplomatic row between the two countries, the U.K. temporarily ____ its ambassador. We are now expecting the ambassador to return to London next week.
核心觀念
本題考「召回外交使節」的英文動詞用法。recall 可表示「召回」,常用於國家因外交爭端暫時召回駐外大使。句意是兩國發生外交爭端後,英國暫時召回大使;下一句提到大使下週返回倫敦,與此語意一致。
解題方法
先看句意線索:After the diplomatic row between the two countries 表示兩國發生外交爭端;expecting the ambassador to return to London next week 則提示大使將返回倫敦。因此空格應填「召回」,選 recalled。主詞 The U.K. 是單數,且句子描述已發生的事,動詞使用過去式 recalled。
選項分析
第 4 題2 分
To better withstand the weight of mixed waste, Emily always uses ____ plastic bags for her house cleaning services. “Regular bags break easily,” she says.
核心觀念
本題考形容詞的語意與搭配。句子提到 Emily 要使用塑膠袋來清理混合廢棄物,並補充「一般的袋子很容易破」,因此空格應填入表示「耐用、堅固」的形容詞,呼應塑膠袋必須承受廢棄物重量的情境。
解題方法
先看前後文的因果關係:為了更能承受混合廢棄物的重量,Emily 選用某種塑膠袋;她又指出一般袋子容易破。由此可知,所選的袋子應比一般塑膠袋更厚實、耐用。四個選項中,只有 heavy-duty 符合這個意思。
選項分析
- (A) heavy-duty:耐用的、堅固的 正確。常用來形容能承受較大負荷、較耐用的產品,例如 heavy-duty plastic bags(耐用塑膠袋),符合承受廢棄物重量且不易破裂的情境。
第 5 題2 分
All their employees are expected to observe and practice cultural ____ to ensure what they say or do in the company is politically correct.
核心觀念
本題考「形容詞+名詞」的常見搭配,以及依句意辨認字義。句中說員工應「遵守並實踐某種文化上的__」,目的是確保在公司說話或行事符合政治正確;空格應填表示「敏感度、體察能力」的名詞。常見搭配為 cultural sensitivity,意指對不同文化及其差異保持理解與尊重。
解題方法
先看句意:公司希望員工留意言行,避免忽視或冒犯文化差異。因此,空格需要表示「對文化差異的體察與尊重」的詞。再檢查搭配:英文常用 observe and practice cultural sensitivity,符合句意與語法。
選項分析
- (A) credibility:可信度、可靠性。cultural credibility 指文化方面的可信度,與員工注意言行是否符合政治正確的語意不合。
第 6 題2 分
This has been an extremely busy week for Mark. He finds it very difficult to ____ responding to all the emails from his customers.
核心觀念
本題考片語動詞 get around to + V-ing,意思是「終於有時間做某事、抽空著手做某事」。句中 to 是介系詞,因此後面接動名詞 responding。
解題方法
前句說 Mark 這星期非常忙(an extremely busy week),後句說他覺得很難「……回覆客戶的所有電子郵件」。依語意,空格應填表示「抽出時間去做」的片語:
He finds it very difficult to get around to responding to all the emails from his customers. 他覺得很難抽出時間回覆客戶的所有電子郵件。
此處的 to 是 get around to 片語的一部分,後接動名詞 responding,不能改接原形動詞。
選項分析
第 7 題2 分
Do you believe that the moral nature was seldom out of ____ with the physical make?
核心觀念
本題考固定搭配 be out of keeping with,意思是「與……不相稱、不協調」。句中的 moral nature 指道德本性,physical make 指身體構造或體質;整句是在問,道德本性是否很少與身體構造不協調。
解題方法
先辨認空格前的 out of,再看後面的 with。固定用法是 be out of keeping with + 名詞,表示「與……不相稱」。因此空格應填 keeping:
Do you believe that the moral nature was seldom out of keeping with the physical make?
句意為:「你相信道德本性很少與身體構造不相稱嗎?」
選項分析
第 8 題2 分
The offshore energy resource of the nation is huge, but plans to develop it remain a ____ with large gaps.
核心觀念
本題考單字語意與上下文判讀。句意是:「該國的離岸能源資源十分豐富,但開發計畫仍是一個__,存在很大的缺口。」空格需要填入能表示「難以理解或尚未解決的問題、謎團」的名詞。
解題方法
先看轉折詞 but:前半句說資源豐富,後半句指出開發計畫仍有問題。再看 with large gaps(存在很大的缺口),可知計畫的內容或進展並不完整,因此 puzzle「難題、謎團」最符合語意。
選項分析
第 9 題2 分
The young director’s new film deals with mature subject matter and contains sexual and violent content; viewer ____ is advised.
核心觀念
本題考「viewer discretion is advised」這個常見警語。片中含有性或暴力等成人內容時,這句話表示「建議觀眾自行斟酌是否觀看」,其中 discretion 是「自行判斷、斟酌」之意。
解題方法
句子先指出電影題材成熟,且含有性與暴力內容,後半句應是提醒觀眾自行衡量是否適合觀看。因此空格需填入表示「判斷、斟酌」的名詞,並與固定用法 viewer discretion is advised 相符。
選項分析
第 10 題2 分
Many people wish to see the former mayor turn in the keys to the office quickly. After all, the ____ of a city government can be just as complicated as that of a country.
核心觀念
本題考「字義辨析」與上下文搭配。句子提到前任市長交出辦公室鑰匙,接著說市政府的某個過程和國家的同類過程一樣複雜。語意指的是市長交接、政府職務與行政運作從一任移交給下一任的「轉換、交接」。
解題方法
先抓住前句的線索 turn in the keys to the office,意為「交回辦公室鑰匙」,暗示市長卸任與新任接手。空格所在句是在說市政府的「交接過程」也可能很複雜,因此選表示「過渡、交接」的 transition。
選項分析
- (A) transition(過渡;轉換;交接):符合市長卸任、新任接手的情境。
第 11 題2 分
They did not speak to each other since their ____ over the missing money; each blames the other for losing it.
核心觀念
本題考查單字在語境中的意思,以及名詞與句意的搭配。句中提到兩人「因為失去的錢而彼此不說話」,且「各自責怪對方把錢弄丟」,表示兩人之間發生了不和或決裂。
解題方法
先看句意線索:They did not speak to each other(他們不再彼此交談),原因是 their ____ over the missing money(他們對失蹤錢款一事的某種關係或衝突)。空格應填表示「不和、決裂」的名詞;rift 符合這個意思。
選項分析
第 12 題2 分
To crack nuts with your teeth might break the ____, the hard outer covering on the teeth.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字辨義。句中 the hard outer covering on the teeth 意為「牙齒堅硬的外層」,指的是 enamel(牙釉質、琺瑯質)。句意是:用牙齒咬開堅果可能會弄裂牙釉質。
解題方法
先利用逗號後的同位語提示判斷:the hard outer covering on the teeth 是在解釋前面的空格所指何物。牙齒最外層堅硬的組織是 enamel,因此空格應填 enamel。
選項分析
第 13 題2 分
I had a wild hope that, even as the insignificant worm bores through the hardest oak, I might by ____ reach the heart of Africa.
核心觀念
本題考「字義辨析」與介系詞片語的語意。空格位於 by 之後,應填入能表示「透過某種方式」的名詞,使句意符合前後文。
句意為:「我曾抱著一個大膽的希望:就像不起眼的蠕蟲能鑽穿最堅硬的橡樹一樣,我或許也能憑著__抵達非洲的中心。」
解題方法
前半句以「蠕蟲鑽穿堅硬橡樹」比喻克服困難;後半句則說話者希望自己也能抵達非洲腹地。因此空格需要表示「堅持不懈」的名詞,說明他將靠著持續努力達成目標。
perseverance 是「堅忍、毅力、堅持不懈」,符合 by + 方法或手段 的用法,且與比喻的語意連貫。
選項分析
- (A) perseverance:正確。 名詞,意為「毅力、堅忍」。by perseverance 即「憑著毅力」,符合句意。
第 14 題2 分
I know she wanted a ____ account of what happened rather than a brief report.
核心觀念
本題考英文慣用語與形容詞複合詞的語意辨析。空格後的 account 是「敘述、描述」,前文的 what happened 指「事情發生的經過」;後面的 rather than a brief report 則表示她想要的不是簡短報告,而是較詳盡的敘述。
解題方法
先看語意對比:brief report 是「簡短報告」,因此空格應選能表示「詳盡、逐一描述」的詞。blow-by-blow account 是固定搭配,指鉅細靡遺、按發生順序詳述事件經過的敘述,符合句意。
全句可譯為:「我知道她想要一份詳述事情經過的完整敘述,而不是一篇簡短報告。」
選項分析
第 15 題2 分
Nick’s recent investment on the stock market was more than just profitable, it was amazingly ____ and made him a big fortune.
核心觀念
本題考形容詞的詞義與語境判讀。句意為:「Nick 最近的股票投資不只是有獲利,還非常__,讓他發了一筆大財。」空格需要填入能形容投資「獲利豐厚、賺錢」的形容詞。
解題方法
先看後半句 made him a big fortune,意為「讓他賺進一大筆財富」。這提示前面的投資報酬很高,因此空格應填入表示「有利可圖、獲利豐厚」的 lucrative。
句首的 more than just profitable(不只是有獲利)也與 amazingly lucrative(獲利驚人)語意相互呼應。

At certain times in life, we all face changes that many social scientists consider to be natural stages. Take a newborn, William, as an example. The first few months of his life ____ in a limited environment. In fact, he won’t develop an awareness of his surroundings or truly enter the world ____ he’s begun to walk and talk. William will be spending the next few years discovering the world around him. Later, as he approaches adolescence, his ideas and feelings, ____ his body, will begin to change. His outlook on the world will broaden. When he has passed through his teenage years, he’ll face the choices of young adulthood: marriage, family, career. Through the thirties, his life may go smoothly, but ____ another “passage” will approach near “midlife,” as he reaches his forties. At that point, time will “____.” Suddenly, he will find himself in his sixties or seventies, fast approaching the end of his life.
The first few months of William’s life ____ in a limited environment.
核心觀念
本題考查被動語態與句意判斷。主詞是 The first few months of William’s life(威廉生命中的頭幾個月),時間不會主動「花費」在某個環境中,而是「被度過」,因此應使用被動語態。
解題方法
被動語態的基本結構為「主詞+be 動詞+過去分詞」。句意描述威廉出生後接下來幾個月的生活狀況,採未來式被動語態:
spend time in a place 表示「在某處度過一段時間」;改成被動語態時,時間成為主詞:time will be spent in a place。因此空格填入 will be spent。

At that point, time will “____.” Suddenly, he will find himself in his sixties or seventies, fast approaching the end of his life.
In fact, he won’t develop an awareness of his surroundings or truly enter the world ____ he’s begun to walk and talk.
核心觀念
本題考 not ... until ... 的用法,表示「直到……才……」。句型中的 not 否定主要子句,until 引導時間副詞子句,說明某件事在何時才發生。
解題方法
空格所在句意為:「他要等到開始走路和說話,才會對周遭環境有所認識,並真正進入世界。」
依照 not ... until ... 句型,應填入 until:
He won’t develop an awareness of his surroundings or truly enter the world until he’s begun to walk and talk.
其中 he’s begun 是現在完成式;在此時間副詞子句中,表示「等到他開始走路和說話之後」。

Later, as he approaches adolescence, his ideas and feelings, ____ his body, will begin to change.
核心觀念
本題考的是連接詞片語 as well as,用來表示「以及、也包括」,連接兩個並列的名詞或名詞片語。句中 his ideas and feelings 與 his body 都是 change 的主詞內容,說明青春期時「想法與感受,以及身體」都會開始改變。
解題方法
先看空格前後的語意:句子指出,接近青春期時,William 的想法與感受會改變,身體也會改變。兩者是補充並列關係,因此填入表示「以及」的 as well as:
his ideas and feelings, as well as his body, will begin to change. 他的想法與感受,以及身體,都將開始改變。
這裡的 as well as his body 是補充說明,核心主詞仍是 his ideas and feelings;動詞 will begin 與複數核心主詞一致。

Through the thirties, his life may go smoothly, but ____ another “passage” will approach near “midlife,” as he reaches his forties.
核心觀念
本題考查表示「轉折」的連接副詞,以及它在句中的語意功能。句意是:他三十多歲時生活或許順遂,但接近中年、步入四十歲時,另一個人生「階段」將來臨。前後語意形成轉折,應選 yet。
解題方法
先看前後子句的關係:前句描述生活順遂,後句則指出新的生命階段即將到來。後句不是前句的結果,也不是單純補充資訊,而是以「但」帶出轉折:
Through the thirties, his life may go smoothly, yet another “passage” will approach near “midlife”...
此處的 yet 作連接副詞,表示「然而、但是」,連接兩個語意相對的子句。

解題方法
空格前後提到:人在步入中年後,突然發現自己已到了六、七十歲,正迅速接近人生終點。這表示主觀上感到時間過得很快,因此空格應選表示「加速、變快」的片語。
選項分析
- (A) get around:意為「四處走動、到處旅行」,也可表示「設法避開」。不符合描述時間流逝的語境。

International etiquette is essential for building up strong and well-established international relationships between peoples and nations because different cultural encounters have been frequent and unavoidable even when there are occurrences of global pandemic that might have impeded people from having close physical contacts. Despite not meeting in a real physical space, people who communicate across the border via videoconferencing still need to oblige to the rules of the manners in order to establish firm and sounding international relations. Therefore, acquiring international etiquette is no longer the requirement met by diplomats only. Anyone who is interested or involved in international affairs must all learn how to utilize international etiquette to make themselves become more welcomed and successful people around the world.
Although understanding the art of international etiquette is not a difficult task, to master and even apply it in real contexts takes a lot of time and efforts, especially when you come across situations that involve cross-cultural communications. Since international etiquette varies across different nations and cultures, the things you learn about it are likely not to be applicable to those of other countries as people around the world have their different customs, values and beliefs. It is, thus, hard to judge who has done the right thing about the etiquette even though there are basics to follow. Take the example of making a hand gesture, having your thumb up means you’re praising for something in a culture. Yet, in another culture, it is seen as a threat. You only have to be more sensitive to those cultural differences and learn the nuances or the variances regarding the practice of etiquette internationally.
International etiquette covers many aspects of our daily life. Almost all the details in our life need to pay attention to. Particular rules are set for receiving guests, greeting people, dining, table manners, seat arrangements, costumes, visiting people and signing contracts etc. Each item listed above all has their specific guidelines that need to be followed. One has to make sure not to violate the rules so that they won’t become a laughing stock or an embarrassment in front of people. For instance, when a host or someone whose rank is higher than you is driving a car to take you somewhere, you should sit in the front seat beside him or her not seating yourself at the back. If you sit in the back seat, it shows you have been rude to your host or superior by treating him or her as a driver. Many people are unaware of the manners associated with the seat arrangement. They often unknowingly offend people because they are ignorant. Therefore, obtaining the knowledge of international etiquette and putting it into practice is a must for everyone.
What might be the targeted audience for this passage about international etiquette?
核心觀念
本題考查閱讀理解中的「目標讀者」判斷。作答時要根據文章主要對誰提出建議、誰被明確指出需要這項知識來推論,而不是只看文章提到哪些職業。
解題方法
文章第一段指出,國際禮儀不再只是外交官的要求,凡是對國際事務有興趣或參與其中的人都應學習。末段進一步總結,國際禮儀的知識與實踐是「每個人」都需要的。這些說法將讀者範圍擴大到一般大眾。
選項分析
- (A) Diplomats. 文中明確表示,國際禮儀不再只是外交官的要求,因此外交官不是文章鎖定的唯一或主要讀者。

For instance, when a host or someone whose rank is higher than you is driving a car to take you somewhere, you should sit in the front seat beside him or her not seating yourself at the back. If you sit in the back seat, it shows you have been rude to your host or superior by treating him or her as a driver. Many people are unaware of the manners associated with the seat arrangement. They often unknowingly offend people because they are ignorant. Therefore, obtaining the knowledge of international etiquette and putting it into practice is a must for everyone.
What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
核心觀念
本題考閱讀測驗的「主旨判斷」,要從第一段抓出作者反覆強調的核心:國際禮儀有助於建立穩固的國際關係,也能讓參與國際事務的人更受歡迎、更容易成功。因此,第一段重點是國際禮儀的價值與重要性。
解題方法
先看段落主題句與結尾句。第一段開頭指出國際禮儀對建立良好國際關係不可或缺;後文補充,即使人們改以視訊跨國溝通,也仍須遵守禮儀,並且國際禮儀已不只是外交官的要求,所有參與國際事務的人都應學習。這些內容共同說明國際禮儀的重要性,而非介紹禮儀規則或倫理規範。
選項分析
- (A) The drawback of international etiquette.(國際禮儀的缺點) 錯誤。第一段沒有談國際禮儀造成的不利之處,反而強調其正面作用。

International etiquette is essential for building up strong and well-established international relationships between peoples and nations because different cultural encounters have been frequent and unavoidable even when there are occurrences of global pandemic that might have impeded people from having close physical contacts. Despite not meeting in a real physical space, people who communicate across the border via videoconferencing still need to oblige to the rules of the manners in order to establish firm and sounding international relations. Therefore, acquiring international etiquette is no longer the requirement met by diplomats only. Anyone who is interested or involved in international affairs must all learn how to utilize international etiquette to make themselves become more welcomed and successful people around the world.
Although understanding the art of international etiquette is not a difficult task, to master and even apply it in real contexts takes a lot of time and efforts, especially when you come across situations that involve cross-cultural communications. Since international etiquette varies across different nations and cultures, the things you learn about it are likely not to be applicable to those of other countries as people around the world have their different customs, values and beliefs. It is, thus, hard to judge who has done the right thing about the etiquette even though there are basics to follow. Take the example of making a hand gesture, having your thumb up means you’re praising for something in a culture. Yet, in another culture, it is seen as a threat. You only have to be more sensitive to those cultural differences and learn the nuances or the variances regarding the practice of etiquette internationally.
International etiquette covers many aspects of our daily life. Almost all the details in our life need to pay attention to. Particular rules are set for receiving guests, greeting people, dining, table manners, seat arrangements, costumes, visiting people and signing contracts etc. Each item listed above all has their specific guidelines that need to be followed. One has to make sure not to violate the rules so that they won’t become a laughing stock or an embarrassment in front of people.

In the second paragraph, which aspect regarding the practice of international etiquette needs to be heeded?
核心觀念
本題考查段落主旨與細節定位。第二段說明國際禮儀因不同國家與文化而異,同一手勢在不同文化中可能有不同含義,因此應留意跨文化差異及禮儀實踐上的細微變化。
解題方法
先抓第二段的關鍵句:國際禮儀「varies across different nations and cultures」,並以豎起大拇指在不同文化中代表稱讚或威脅為例。這些內容都指向跨文化差異,據此比對選項。
選項分析
- (A) International politics and relations. 國際政治與關係是第一段提到的背景,並非第二段討論禮儀實踐時應留意的面向。

According to this passage, why does everyone need to practice international etiquette?
核心觀念
本題考查主旨與細節的理解。題目問「為什麼每個人都需要實踐國際禮儀」,應回到第三段尋找學習禮儀的具體目的:遵守待客、問候、用餐、座位安排等規範,避免因不懂規矩而冒犯他人或讓自己陷入尷尬。
解題方法
先定位第三段末尾的結論:了解並實踐國際禮儀是每個人的必要之事。前文說明原因:許多人不熟悉座位安排等禮節,可能在不知情的情況下冒犯他人;遵守禮儀能避免失禮或出糗。因此,選項應與「表現得有禮貌」相符。
選項分析
- (A) It can show that people are polite.(這能顯示人們有禮貌。)正確。 實踐國際禮儀表示懂得遵守不同情境中的行為規範,能展現禮貌,也可避免冒犯他人,符合文章所述目的。
- **(B) It can reveal that people are ignorant.(這能顯示人們無知。)錯誤。
