Cellar Sonata Autumn Vintage 新版星等評鑑爭議與藝術總監就任公告
Cellar Sonata's autumn edition has drawn extraordinary press attention this month, dominated by an independent reviewer's lapidary prose on the tasting-menu opening course. The candle wall in the private dining chamber casts a lambent glow across every place setting, and design critics have identified this detail as the restaurant's most reproduced signature. Not every reviewer has been kind: one critic dismissed the closing dessert story as mawkish, its narration burdened with unearned sentimentality.
The new artistic director takes formal charge on the first day of November. Her opening statement highlights a ---487--- theme centred on small-farm produce and a return to slow-cooked staples, framed against the ambition to preserve the restaurant's urban identity rather than to overwrite it. ---488--- the group's revised style guide, every dining chamber will retain its historic atmospheric hallmarks, and no established branding will be discontinued without documented consultation with the founding chef.
A new outdoor courtyard, screened by an ---489--- canopy of mature plane trees, will be available for private events from December onward. ---490---

Participants will bring in their own damaged or silent music boxes and learn to diagnose common problems, from a bent comb tine that throws a single note flat to a worn sprocket that causes the cylinder to skip or stall partway through a tune.

零售製造：家具品牌委託在地藝術家設計、品牌結盟共用倉儲與互補色調陳列及仿冒家具消費警示報導
TOEIC · article
HOME & RETAIL TRENDS
Several developments in the furniture retail sector illustrate both creative growth and emerging consumer concerns.
The furniture company commissioned a local artist to design a limited-edition collection for its flagship store, and initial reception from shoppers has reportedly exceeded expectations.
Meanwhile, the affiliation between the two furniture brands has allowed both companies to share warehouse space and cut shipping costs, a partnership executives describe as mutually beneficial.
In a related shift, the store now displays throw pillows and table lamps in complementary colors right next to the sofas they are meant to accessorize, a merchandising strategy that early data suggests is boosting add-on sales.
However, consumer advocates warned that gullible shoppers are especially at risk of being misled by counterfeit furniture marketed as handcrafted originals, urging buyers to request authenticity documentation before making a purchase.
Industry observers say these trends are likely to shape the sector well into next year.
Q26
What is the main focus of this article?

B
Recent creative and business developments in furniture retail, along with a consumer warning

A
It has been discontinued due to poor customer feedback
B
Early data suggests it is increasing additional purchases by shoppers
C
It only applies to the flagship store's limited-edition collection
D
It has led to a decline in overall store sales
Q28
The word "urging" in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to
🔑 urging於文中指消費者權益倡議人士「敦促」買家在購買前索取真品證明文件，語意最接近strongly encouraging someone to do something（強烈鼓勵某人做某事）；其餘選項皆與原文描述不符
A
forbidding someone from doing something
B
strongly encouraging someone to do something
C
apologizing to someone for an inconvenience
D
