110 國軍退除役轉任公務人員上校轉任 一般行政(轉任國防部) 中華民國憲法與英文 考古題詳解
第 一 題25 分
軍官甲執行訓練任務時,放任所屬下屬向旁邊民人購買冷飲,並導致部隊演訓未能按時完成。直屬長官乙知悉事實後,遂依《陸海空軍懲罰法》第15條第1項規定給予甲申誡二次之處分。甲不服,向上級機關提出申訴,惟申訴機關仍維持原決定。甲甲申訴經駁回後,本案即告確定。試問:
(一) 在公務人員保障法之情形,公務人員是否因影響其權益之不當公權力措施,於申訴、再申訴後,不得續向法院請求撤銷,而違反憲法訴訟權保障?
(二) 甲針對《陸海空軍懲罰法》中,對於受申誡處分者不得提起司法救濟之規定,應如何向大法官聲請解釋?
登入後即可作答並保存紀錄。
核心觀念
本題考查憲法第16條訴訟權、公務人員保障法申訴制度的性質,以及人民依民國110年當時的《司法院大法官審理案件法》聲請解釋憲法的要件。
軍人懲罰救濟須依命題當年法規判斷。當時題目所指的規定,限制受申誡處分者提起司法救濟;這項限制是否合憲,與甲能否直接向大法官聲請解釋,是兩個不同問題:前者涉及憲法第16條保障的司法救濟,後者涉及法定聲請程序。
解題方法
先辨別公務人員保障法中的「申訴、再申訴」與法院訴訟的關係,再依當時的大法官聲請程序檢查甲是否具備聲請資格。
(一)公務人員申訴、再申訴後,是否一概不得向法院救濟?
不能只因公務人員保障法設有申訴、再申訴,就認為公務人員必須以此作為唯一救濟途徑,且不得再向法院請求撤銷。
依司法院釋字第785號解釋,公務人員保障法第77條第1項、第78條及第84條,並不排除公務人員認為權利遭違法侵害或有主張權利必要時,依爭議措施的性質,提起相應行政訴訟。其訴訟種類及請求內容,應依該措施是否為行政處分、對權利的影響等個案情形判斷。
因此,申訴、再申訴不當然取代司法救濟。甲題所稱「申訴經駁回後,本案即告確定」,是其所涉軍人懲罰法制下的救濟限制,不能直接推論公務人員保障法也排除法院救濟。
(二)甲應如何向大法官聲請解釋?
以命題當年(民國110年)法規為準,人民聲請解釋憲法,應依《司法院大法官審理案件法》第5條第1項第2款,具備以下要件:

In the teeming urban slums at time of plagues, ____ airs thick with deadly contaminants swirled about spreading infection.
核心觀念
本題考形容詞的詞義與語境搭配。句意是:瘟疫流行時,擁擠的都市貧民區裡,充滿致命污染物的空氣四處流動,散播感染。空格要填入能形容這些空氣「有害、帶來危險」的字。
解題方法
先抓住句中的關鍵線索:thick with deadly contaminants(充滿致命污染物)和 spreading infection(散播感染)。這些線索顯示空氣具有危害性,因此選擇 malevolent,意為「有害的、惡意的」。
填入後,句意為:「瘟疫流行時,擁擠的都市貧民區裡,有害的、充滿致命污染物的空氣四處流動,散播感染。」

A few regular hours of walking each week is the ____ to declare that walking reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease, strengthens bones, and balances cholesterol.
核心觀念
本題考字義與語意搭配。句子要表達的是:每週固定步行幾個小時,是足以宣稱步行能降低癌症與心臟病風險、強健骨骼並平衡膽固醇的「前提/根據」。因此要選能表示「作為某種主張成立基礎」的名詞。
解題方法
先看空格後的 to declare:句型為 the ____ to declare ...,空格應填能搭配不定詞、表示進行該宣稱所依據條件或基礎的名詞。再依整句意思判斷,步行時數是支持後述健康效益主張的前提,故選 premise。

Palermo Protocol calls for countries to ____ human trafficking, punish offenders and provide shelter and support to victims.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字與句意判讀。句子描述《巴勒莫議定書》(Palermo Protocol)要求各國採取的措施,包括處罰違法者,以及提供被害人庇護與支持。空格應填入表示「將人口販運入罪」的動詞。
解題方法
先看句型:calls for countries to ____ human trafficking, punish offenders and provide shelter and support to victims.
calls for countries to 後接並列的動詞原形:____、punish、provide。依句意,三者分別表示將人口販運入罪、懲罰犯罪者、扶助被害人,因此空格應選表示「使……成為刑事犯罪」的 criminalize。
選項分析
- (A) criminalize:正確。 意為「將……列為犯罪、使……入罪」。
criminalize human trafficking即「將人口販運入罪」,與後面的懲罰犯罪者、提供被害人支持相互呼應。 - **(B) announce:錯誤。
第 4 題2 分
____ aid is an important resource for students who want to attend college but do not have enough money.
核心觀念
本題考「形容詞與名詞的搭配」,並測驗字義判斷。句意是:對想上大學但經濟拮据的學生而言,____ 援助是一項重要資源。空格應填入能修飾 aid(援助)、且符合句意的形容詞。
解題方法
先看句意線索:學生「沒有足夠的錢」(do not have enough money),因此需要的是「經濟上的援助」。financial aid 是固定且常見的搭配,意思是「經濟援助、助學金」。
選項分析
- (A) Credential:指「資格、證明文件」,通常作名詞;即使作形容詞使用,也不表示經濟上的援助,與句意不合。
- (B) Financial:指「財務的、經濟上的」。financial aid 意為「經濟援助」,符合學生缺乏經費、需要資助的語境,正確。
第 5 題2 分
With thousands of universities around the world to choose from, everyone pursuing postgraduate studies can find programs that are ____ for their needs.
核心觀念
本題考形容詞的字義與語意搭配。句意是:世界各地有數千所大學可供選擇,每位想攻讀研究所的人都能找到「符合自己需求」的課程。空格需填入表示「適合、合宜」的形容詞。
解題方法
先看空格後的介系詞片語 for their needs(符合他們的需求),判斷空格形容詞須能自然表達「某課程適合某人的需求」。suitable for 是常見搭配,意為「適合……」。
全句可譯為:「世界各地有數千所大學可供選擇,每位想攻讀研究所的人都能找到符合自己需求的課程。」
選項分析
- (A) defensible:可辯護的、站得住腳的。常形容論點、立場或決定,例如 a defensible argument(站得住腳的論點);不符合「課程符合需求」的語意。

Like it or not, the prospect of being able to use mobile phones on aeroplanes is inching ever closer. Last week Ryanair announced that it would ____ its entire fleet of Boeing 737s with small base stations, called picocells, provided by OnAir, a technology company backed by Airbus. The picocells will use satellite links to allow mobile phones to be used during flight without ____ ground-based aviation networks. Taking a cut of the resulting revenues will help Ryanair to keep its ticket prices down, according to the firm’s boss.
But it is uncertain just how popular, and hence how ____, in-flight calling will be. The technical obstacles have been overcome and regulatory approval is expected soon—at least in Europe. Regulators are expected to issue guidelines in the next few weeks defining which frequencies can be used and national aviation authorities will start ____ airlines’ installations early next year.
Mobile phones must still surmount social obstacles, however. Will people flock to airlines that offer in-flight calling, or avoid them? And how much will callers be prepared to pay? OnAir, its rival AeroMobile and other firms have conducted a series of surveys in an attempt to find out.
One survey of young mobile-phone users, carried out last year by IDC and SMS.ac, a mobile portal, found that 64% of young people favoured in-flight texting, and only 11% liked the idea of making calls. And 82% of ____ agreed with the statement “I don’t want people talking on their phones during flights.” The results are not surprising to many, actually.
核心觀念
本題考查動詞的語意與搭配。題幹提到瑞安航空(Ryanair)將為全機隊的波音 737 安裝小型基地台(picocells),因此空格應填入表示「為……配備、裝設」的動詞。
解題方法
句型為「動詞 + its entire fleet of Boeing 737s + with small base stations」,即「為整個波音 737 機隊裝設小型基地台」。能自然搭配 equip A with B,意為「為 A 配備 B」,且符合句意。

核心觀念
本題考查動詞片語的語意與介系詞搭配。空格所在句意為:小型基地台將透過衛星連線,讓飛機上的手機可以使用,同時不會影響地面航空網路。
解題方法
先看空格後的受詞:ground-based aviation networks(地面航空網路)。前半句提到手機將透過衛星連線使用,因此空格應表示「不干擾」地面網路。interfere with 是「干擾、妨礙」的固定搭配,故填入 interfering with。
句子中的 without 是介系詞,後接動名詞,所以使用 interfering,而非原形動詞 interfere。
選項分析
- (A) departing from:
depart from表示「離開、背離」,語意不符合手機使用與地面網路之間的關係。

核心觀念
本題考查字彙辨義與語境判斷。空格前有 how,後接形容詞;前文提到航空公司能否透過機上通話「取得相關收入」,因此要找出表示「有利可圖、能獲利」的形容詞。
解題方法
句子為:「But it is uncertain just how popular, and hence how ____, in-flight calling will be.」意為:「機上通話究竟會多受歡迎,因此又會多有利可圖,仍不確定。」
其中 hence 表示「因此」,把「受歡迎程度」連結到「獲利能力」;後文提到航空公司能從通話收入中分潤,也呼應獲利的語意。因此空格應填 lucrative,意為「有利可圖的、賺錢的」。

Last week Ryanair announced that it would ____ its entire fleet of Boeing 737s with small base stations...
意思是:「Ryanair 上週宣布,將以小型基地台……其全部波音 737 機隊。」空格後的 its entire fleet 是「它的整支機隊」,後接 with small base stations,句型應為「以某物為某對象進行某種處理或配置」。
解題方法
先抓空格前後的搭配:____ its entire fleet ... with small base stations。小型基地台將安裝在飛機上,讓乘客能在飛行途中使用手機。四個選項中,certify A with B 可表示「以 B 為 A 配備/使 A 具備 B」,最符合句意與結構。此處可理解為 Ryanair 將為整支機隊配備小型基地台。
選項分析
- (A) certifying:正確。
certify A with B在此表示以小型基地台為機隊配備相關設備;

解題方法
前文提到 IDC 與 SMS.ac 對年輕手機使用者進行調查,並報告受訪者對飛行途中傳簡訊、打電話的看法。因此,空格應指「受訪者」:82% 的受訪者同意不希望別人在飛行途中用手機通話。
選項分析
- (A) opponents:反對者。指反對某項想法或做法的人;原句是在呈現調查結果,沒有將這群人稱為「反對者」,且無法自然對應前文的調查對象。

If you’re visiting London, the famed St. Paul’s Cathedral is a landmark you must see. England’s leading church was built in 604 to honor St. Paul, an apostle who played a major role in spreading the message of Christianity. Over the years, the cathedral has become a national symbol of strength and the ability to ____ adversity—and for good reason. In 942, the Vikings burnt it to the ground. It was rebuilt, but then it was damaged once again during the Great Fire of London of 1666. ____, architect Sir Christopher Wren spent 35 years rebuilding it, with the ____ of making it as awe-inspiring as any royal palace in England. And, true to his word, when construction was completed in 1710, it was more glorious than ever.
The major attraction for the two million tourists that visit St. Paul’s annually is its iconic dome. In total, the ____ structure weighs 64,000 tons and is comprised of three smaller domes: an inner dome, an outer dome, and a brick cone. From the floor, tourists can observe classic murals, painted by Sir James Thornhill, which ____ key events in the life of St. Paul. Next, they can climb the 528 steps to the Golden Gallery. In addition to magnificent sculptures and paintings, visitors will also be treated to incomparable panoramic views of the city. Besides being a tourist attraction, St. Paul’s Cathedral hosts several important religious ceremonies throughout the year.
核心觀念
本題考察動詞的語意與搭配。空格前為 the ability to,後接動詞原形;後面的 adversity 意為「逆境、困境」,因此要選能表示「克服逆境」的動詞。
解題方法
先看語意:文章指出聖保羅大教堂歷經維京人焚毀及倫敦大火,後來又重建,因而成為象徵力量、能夠「克服逆境」的國家象徵。最符合這段歷史與 adversity 搭配的動詞是 overcome。
句意為:「多年來,這座大教堂已成為力量與克服逆境能力的國家象徵。」
選項分析
- (A) compile:意為「編輯、編纂;收集整理」,不表示克服困境,不能與 adversity 構成合適語意。
- (B) encounter:意為「遭遇、遇見」。

核心觀念
本題考英文篇章中的上下文銜接與副詞用法。空格位於「倫敦大火後,建築師 Christopher Wren 花了 35 年重建聖保羅大教堂」之前,需要選出能表示「之後、後來」的時間副詞。
解題方法
前文提到,大教堂在 1666 年倫敦大火中再次受損;後文接著敘述 Wren 花了 35 年重建。兩句的事件順序是「大火造成損壞 → 之後進行重建」,因此空格應填表示「後來、此後」的 Afterward。
句意為:「此後,建築師 Christopher Wren 花了 35 年重建它,目標是使它與英格蘭任何一座皇家宮殿一樣令人敬畏。」

解題方法
關鍵片語是 with the ____ of making it ...,意思是「以使它……為目的」。英文常用搭配為 with the intention of + V-ing,表示「意圖做某事、以……為目的」。
代入後,句子表示:建築師 Christopher Wren 花了 35 年重建教堂,目的是讓它和英格蘭的皇家宮殿一樣令人嘆為觀止,前後文意完整。

核心觀念
本題考英文詞彙,須依句意與搭配用法,判斷「宏偉的圓頂結構」應由哪個形容詞修飾。題幹寫道:遊客造訪聖保羅大教堂的主要看點是標誌性的圓頂,接著描述該結構重達 64,000 噸,並由三個較小的圓頂組成。因此空格應填表示「巨大的、龐大的」的形容詞。
解題方法
先看空格後的名詞 structure(結構),再利用上下文的重量與組成判斷語意:這是一座規模龐大、重量驚人的建築結構,應選 massive。常見搭配包括 a massive structure,意為「龐大的結構」。
選項分析
- (A) diverse:多樣的、形形色色的。通常形容種類或組成多元,例如 diverse cultures(多元文化);不符合此處描述建築體量的語意。

The death toll from the devastating earthquake in Ecuador has risen to 654, officials said. The quake, the worst in nearly seven decades, injured at least 12,500 people and left another 58 people ____ along the country’s Pacific coast. “These have been sad days for the homeland,” said a visibly moved President Rafael Correa during his regular Saturday TV broadcast. “The country is in crisis.”
Thousands of soldiers and police have been ____ throughout Ecuador to provide emergency relief, including temporary ____ and food. ____, scores of aid workers from dozens of nations, including Spain, Peru, Cuba, Bolivia and Venezuela have arrived to assist in the relief efforts. Officials said 113 people have been rescued alive from buildings damaged by the quake eight days ago. The United Nations on Friday ____ for $72.7 million to provide aid to 350,000 people over the next three months—about half the number it estimates are in need of help.
核心觀念
本題考查新聞英文的字義與搭配。句中空格位於「left another 58 people ____ along the country’s Pacific coast」,描述地震後仍有 58 人的狀態;關鍵是動詞 leave 在此表示「使某人處於某種狀態」,因此空格應填能描述災後人員狀況的字。
解題方法
地震造成大量傷亡,前文提到至少 12,500 人受傷;後文又說已有 113 人從受損建築中生還獲救。空格所在句則補充災後仍有 58 人下落不明。英文常用 leave someone missing 表示「使某人失蹤/使某人下落不明」,與地震災情的語境相符。
選項分析
- (A) flowing:意為「流動、流淌」。通常描述水、液體或人群流動;「58 人流動在太平洋沿岸」不合語意。

核心觀念
本題考英文單字在語境中的搭配與語意判斷。句子描述地震發生後,軍人與警察被派往全國各地提供緊急救援,因此要選能表達「部署、派遣」的動詞。
解題方法
空格所在句為:
Thousands of soldiers and police have been ____ throughout Ecuador to provide emergency relief...
「軍人與警察被派往厄瓜多各地提供緊急救援」,語意上應是「部署在各地」。句中的 have been 加上過去分詞,形成現在完成式的被動語態,表示這些人員已被派遣並仍在執行救援任務。

The United Nations on Friday ____ for $72.7 million to provide aid to 350,000 people over the next three months—about half the number it estimates are in need of help.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字在上下文中的搭配與語意。空格位於 temporary(臨時的)之後,並與 food(食物)並列;句意是在說明救災人員提供的緊急物資與服務。
解題方法
先抓並列結構:including temporary ____ and food,可譯為「包括臨時的__與食物」。地震造成大量民眾受災,需要暫時安置,因此空格應填表示「避難收容處」的 shelters,形成 temporary shelters and food(臨時避難所與食物),語意完整。
選項分析
- (A) shelters:正確。 shelter 作名詞可指避難所、收容處;temporary shelters 是「臨時避難所」,符合地震災後安置災民的語境。
- (B) addresses:錯誤。 address 可指地址,也可作動詞表示處理、應對;

核心觀念
本題考英文篇章中的轉承語,要看空格前後的語意關係。前文提到軍警在厄瓜多各地提供緊急援助,並列出臨時安置與食物;空格後補充來自多個國家的援助人員也已抵達協助。
解題方法
前後兩句都在列舉災後救援措施:前句是國內軍警投入救援,後句是國際援助人員加入。後句是在前述資訊上增加另一項救援力量,因此應選表示「此外、另外」的 In addition。
選項分析
- (A) However:意為「然而」,用來引出轉折。國內軍警投入救援與國際援助人員抵達並不相反,語意不合。

核心觀念
本題考英文常見動詞的語意與搭配,關鍵在於理解句子的主詞、受詞及上下文。題幹最後一句提到聯合國將募集資金,用來援助受災民眾;四個選項中,只有 appealed 能表達「呼籲、請求」。
解題方法
句子結構是:
The United Nations on Friday ____ for $72.7 million to provide aid ...
空格後的 for $72.7 million 表示「為了 7,270 萬美元提出請求」。appeal for + 資源/援助 是常見搭配,意為「呼籲提供、請求」。
全句可譯為:「聯合國週五呼籲籌募 7,270 萬美元,預計在接下來三個月援助 35 萬人。」
選項分析
- (A) signed:sign 意為「簽署」。

Amazon is a Fortune 500 e-commerce company based in Seattle, Wash. It has the distinction of being one of the first large companies to sell goods over the Internet. In 1994, Jeff Bezos founded Amazon, which launched the following year. If you’re of a particular age, you likely remember that Amazon started out as an online bookstore and then quickly diversified by adding other items, including DVDs, music, video games, electronics, and clothing. In 1999, just five years after he started Amazon, Jeff Bezos was named Time magazine’s “Person of the Year.” He received this honor largely because of the company’s success in popularizing online shopping.
Amazon.com considers itself a completely customer-centric company. In fact, it has described itself as “customer-obsessed.” The company really believes that if it doesn’t listen to customers, it will fail. Amazon has stated that it wants to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself to the company during a time of unprecedented technological revolution.
Amazon not only believes in putting customers first but also in ownership from its team. “Ownership matters when you’re building a great company,” the company has said. “Owners think long-term, plead passionately for their projects and ideas, and are empowered to respectfully challenge decisions.”
As of early 2017, Amazon had nearly 269,000 employees worldwide. It is known for its technical innovations and boasts that its engineers handle complex challenges in large-scale computing. Software development engineers, technical program managers, test engineers and user interface experts work in small teams throughout the company to build an e-commerce platform that’s used by customers, sellers, merchants and external developers.
- According to the passage, why was Jeff Bezos named the “Person of the Year”?
核心觀念
本題考查閱讀理解,重點是根據文章明確敘述,找出 Jeff Bezos 獲選《時代》雜誌「年度風雲人物」的原因。解題時應以文章提供的理由為準,不需推測他的財富、銷售數量或個人排名。
解題方法
先定位文章中提到「Person of the Year」的句子:Bezos 獲此榮譽,主要是因為 Amazon 成功推廣了線上購物(the company’s success in popularizing online shopping)。選項中意思最接近此敘述者即為答案。
選項分析
- (A) He is the richest person in 1999 due to his online service. 錯誤。文章沒有說 Bezos 在 1999 年是世界首富,也沒有把獲選原因歸於個人財富。

核心觀念
本題考閱讀理解,重點是從文章中定位與題目相符的明確敘述。題目問 Amazon 在 2017 年以什麼聞名;文章末段指出,公司「以技術創新聞名」(known for its technical innovations)。
解題方法
先抓題幹關鍵詞 known for 與 in 2017,再回到文章尋找對應資訊。文章提到 Amazon 的工程師處理大型運算的複雜挑戰,並明確說公司以技術創新聞名,因此選項應保留「技術創新」這個意思。
選項分析
-
(A) Creating a new AI robot. 「創造新的 AI 機器人」。文章沒有提到 Amazon 開發 AI 機器人,錯誤。
-
(B) Having its technical innovation.

解題方法

選項分析
-
(A) Do an extensive survey to know more about customer’s preferences. 正確。進行廣泛調查以了解顧客偏好,符合公司重視顧客意見、以顧客為中心的理念。
-

- Where does this passage most probably come from?
核心觀念
本題考查英文閱讀中的「文章來源判斷」。應根據文章的主題、內容與寫作目的,推論最可能刊載這段文字的媒體類型。
文章介紹 Amazon 的創立與發展、顧客導向的經營理念、員工文化、全球員工人數,以及工程團隊與技術創新,核心內容是公司的經營與商業發展。
