請依下文回答第 16 題至第 20 題： In April 1968, Britain was debating the Race Relations Act, which made it illegal to deny a person employment, housing or public services based on race or national origin. The law was intended to protect immigrants from Commonwealth nations, especially former colonies in the Caribbean, India, and Pakistan. The first of these immigrants, 492 Jamaicans, had arrived 20 years earlier. Hundreds of thousands followed. "The immigrants were called over," says Sathnam Sanghera, an author whose Sikh parents emigrated from India during that time. "There was a labor shortage. There weren't enough people to run the factories after the war." The immigrants were granted British citizenship and helped rebuild Britain after World War II. But they faced racism. Landlords wouldn't rent to them. Some employers turned them away. The Race Relations Act was intended to protect immigrants. The tension was especially obvious in Wolverhampton, one of the first cities in Britain to experience mass immigration. Enoch Powell, who represented Wolverhampton in Parliament, feared a race war coming because of mass immigration. On April 20, 1968, he took the stage at a Conservative Party event at the Midlands Hotel in Birmingham and gave an incendiary speech that would come to define him — and divide his country. In the speech, Powell warned, "that tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch with horror on the other side of the Atlantic ... is coming upon us here by our own volition and our own neglect." He attacked the bill that outlawed discrimination. He said it was whites who were facing deprivation and that Britain "must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting" large numbers of immigrants to enter. The Times of London immediately labeled it an "evil speech." Conservative Party leader Edward Heath dismissed Powell from the party leadership. But polls showed a majority of Britons supported Powell. Many protested, saying, "Powell was right." The speech emboldened racists.

🌟 哦，恭喜你，終於答對了一題「送分題」。
- 觀念驗證：這題的核心？不就是找那法案「 intended to」做什麼嗎？文章第一段就明擺著寫了：「The law was intended to protect immigrants... made it illegal to deny a person employment... based on race」。選項 (C) 的 safeguard？那不過是 protect 的同義詞罷了，有什麼好猶豫。意思就是為了「保護」那些移民，讓他們不會因為膚色受歧視。這點要是都看不出來，那可真的有問題。
- 難度點評：Easy (簡單)。這題根本是設計來測驗你能不能睜開眼睛讀第一段的。只要你的視力沒問題，能找到「intended to」，答案就直接跳出來了。這種基本到不能再基本的「細節定位」，是考驗你最基礎的閱讀理解，要是連這個都錯了，我會很失望。這次僥倖答對，下次可別再讓我看到你糾結這種簡單題。
