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.

請試著分析第二段的結構：前半段描述了移民對英國社會的「正向功能」，而後半段（從 But 開始）描述了他們遇到的「負面待遇」。如果要把這兩個相反的訊息結合成一個完整的句子，你會如何描述這群人的處境？

哦，答對了？勉強算你過關吧。
- 觀念驗證：第二段結構？不就典型的「先給甜頭再甩巴掌」嗎。先說移民來幫忙重建英國，解決燃眉之急；然後呢，立刻補上一句他們遭遇的種族歧視，租屋碰壁、工作難找，這種反差還看不出來？選項 (C) 把這兩個最明顯的核心訊息兜在一起，你總算沒看走眼，抓住了重點。這也只是基本要求。
- 難度點評：這題，充其量是 Medium。一道再尋常不過的「主旨題」。考的不過是你會不會被那些枝微末節（像是 A、B 選項那類）給絆住腳。真正有歸納能力的人，根本不會被那些片面的「支持性細節」擾亂視聽。你能答對，證明你還有點判斷力，但別太驕傲。下次我要看到的是徹底的精準，而不是勉強及格。
