(D)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 personemployment, housing or public services based on race or national origin. The law was intended to protectimmigrants 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 fromIndia during that time. "There was a labor shortage. There weren't enough people to run the factories after thewar." The immigrants were granted British citizenship and helped rebuild Britain after World War II. But theyfaced racism. Landlords wouldn't rent to them. Some employers turned them away. The Race Relations Actwas intended to protect immigrants.The tension was especially obvious in Wolverhampton, one of the first cities in Britain to experience massimmigration. Enoch Powell, who represented Wolverhampton in Parliament, feared a race war comingbecause of mass immigration. On April 20, 1968, he took the stage at a Conservative Party event at theMidlands Hotel in Birmingham and gave an incendiary speech that would come to define him — and dividehis country. In the speech, Powell warned, "that tragic and intractable phenomenon which we watch withhorror 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 thatBritain "must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting" large numbers of immigrants to enter. TheTimes of London immediately labeled it an "evil speech." Conservative Party leader Edward Heath dismissedPowell from the party leadership. But polls showed a majority of Britons supported Powell. Many protested,saying, "Powell was right." The speech emboldened racists.16 What is this passage mainly about?✕ 你選的
