動詞 undergo 的受詞需為名詞,且語境指『認證程序』而非『人』→ recertification ✓
recertify 動詞原形不符受詞位置;recertified 形容詞不能單獨作受詞;certifier 雖為名詞但指人物,與句意『五年一度的程序』不符
Word Form 解題步驟:①動詞undergo後 → 判斷需要名詞受詞 ②語境判斷是『程序』還是『人』:此處指五年一度的認證程序本身 ③同字根:recertify(v)/recertification(n,程序)/recertified(adj)/certifier(n,人)
| 單字/片語 | 詞性 | 音標 | 主要意思 | 搭配用法 |

四個選項皆為織機/紡紗相關零件名詞形近陷阱,需依語境判斷何者為打緊緯線並維持經線間距的梳齒結構
| 單字/片語 | 詞性 | 音標 | 主要意思 | 搭配用法 |
|---|
| shuttle | n | /ˈʃʌtl/ | 梭子 | throw the shuttle(用於引緯線穿梭的梭子,非打緊緯線的梳齒結構) |

NOTICE: New Vintage Radio Authentication Service Now Available
Beginning next month, Ashcombe Auction House will offer a dedicated authentication and valuation service for vintage tube radios, in partnership with two independent radio historians.
Our appraisers pay particular attention to casing material and manufacturing marks when dating a set, since sets manufactured before 1940 typically used Bakelite for the outer casing, a material now prized by collectors for its distinctive marbled finish.
The appraiser's biggest concern is spotting a 131 — a modern reproduction cabinet paired with genuine vintage internal components to deceive buyers. Appraisers often place a questionable set beside a documented reference model to compare the two cabinets with 132 under bright light, checking for subtle differences in mold seams and material texture.
133
Appointments for the authentication service can be booked online, and a written valuation report is typically issued 134 ten business days of the appointment.
Q24
🔑 forgery=偽造品,此處指刻意混合現代仿製外殼與真品內部零件以欺騙買家的仿冒品,符合鑑定師的核心顧慮;donation為捐贈品、heirloom為傳家寶(真品)、prototype為原型機,皆非刻意欺騙用的偽造品
Q25
🔑 compare the two cabinets with __,恰為兩個外殼之間的相互比對,傳統文法規則『each other用於兩者、one another用於三者以上』→ 選each other;themselves/itself為反身代名詞,語意與人稱數皆不符
Q26
🔑 (A) 說明這種並排比對方法過去兩年已幫助拍賣行揪出數起偽造嘗試,直接呼應前句『比較外殼以檢查細微差異』的做法,補充說明其實際成效;(B)拍賣行沿革、(C)其他鑑定服務項目、(D)史學家專長分類,皆與『比對方法的成效』的邏輯無關
A
Ashcombe Auction House was founded in 1952 and has since expanded to three regional locations.
B
This side-by-side comparison method has helped the auction house catch several attempted forgeries in the past two years.
C
The auction house also offers a separate valuation service for antique furniture and jewelry.
D
Radio historians typically specialize in either the pre-war or post-war manufacturing era.
Q27
🔑 issued + __ + ten business days,須為表『在某期限範圍內』的介系詞 → within✓;among須接群體對象、beyond表超出(方向相反)、against表對抗或對照,皆不符『在十個工作天內完成』的語境
