107 移民特考三等 移民行政(選試法文) 外國文(法文兼試移民專業英文) 考古題詳解
第 甲 題75 分
一、Traduisez le texte suivant en chinois。(40 分)
Le Yuan législatif a adopté le 31 octobre la Loi sur le recrutement et l'emploi des professionnels étrangers dont le but est d'assouplir les réglementations sur les visas, les permis de travail, la résidence, l'assurance maladie, les impôts et les retraites afin d'attirer des personnalités talentueuses à Taiwan.
Selon le ministère du Développement national, le projet de loi ouvre non seulement la voie à des environnements de travail et de vie plus favorables aux professionnels étrangers mais il permettra aussi d'améliorer la compétitivité globale de Taiwan et d'étendre ses relations économiques et commerciales. Le ministère a également fait savoir que le passage de cette loi marquait une étape importante dans les efforts du gouvernement pour attirer et retenir les talents internationaux.
En vertu de cette loi, les permis de travail et de résidence des professionnels étrangers qualifiés seront étendus de trois années maximum actuellement à cinq, avec des prolongations pouvant aller jusqu'à cinq ans après l'expiration.
Les professionnels étrangers pourront également solliciter une carte de travail Or (Employement Gold Card) quatre-en-un, qui comprendra un permis de travail, un visa de résident, un certificat de résident étranger (ARC) et un permis d'entrées multiples. Cette carte sera valable entre un et trois ans. D'après le conseil, cela donnera plus de liberté aux ressortissants étrangers qui ne dépendront alors plus de leurs employeurs pour faire leurs demandes de permis de travail.
Cette loi fera également disparaître l'obligation pour les étrangers de résider au moins 183 jours sur le territoire pour pouvoir conserver le statut de leur ARC ou de leur permis de résidence permanente (APRC). En outre, les professionnels étrangers qui travaillent comme artistes pourront candidater directement auprès du ministère du Travail pour obtenir leur permis au lieu de passer par un employeur.
En ce qui concerne les personnes à charge, les épouses et les enfants mineurs des professionnels étrangers n'auront plus besoin d'attendre six mois avant de pouvoir demander d'être couverts par le programme de l'Assurance santé nationale. La nouvelle loi stipule que les personnes à charge des professionnels étrangers comme les épouses, les enfants mineurs et les enfants handicapés pourront avoir accès à une autorisation de résidence permanente à Taiwan (APRC).

核心觀念
本試題屬於公職移民特考三等「外國文(法文兼試移民專業英文)」之指標性試題,包含兩大核心評量指標:
- 專業法文翻譯(40 分):
- 法規依據與時事背景:本題以外交與移民政策重大變革為核心,測驗民國 106 年 10 月 31 日立法院三讀通過、民國 107 年 2 月 8 日正式施行的《外國專業人才延攬及僱用法》(本題法規標準以命題當年民國 107 年為準;現行法已於民國 110 年 6 月大幅修正放寬相關工作與居留資格)。
- 移民與行政專有名詞:精確考驗台灣官方涉外法制用語,如「四合一就業金卡」(carte de travail Or / Employment Gold Card)、「外僑居留證」(ARC)、「外僑永久居留證」(APRC)、「全民健康保險」(Assurance santé nationale)與主責機關「國家發展委員會」(法文借用 ministère du Développement national 表述)。
- 法語長難句解析能力:包含關係代名詞子句(dont, qui)、相關連接詞(non seulement... mais aussi...)、分詞片語修飾與介詞結構轉換。
- 法文申論寫作(Composition,35 分):
- 價值觀論述與人文素養:從提示的多項核心價值(民主、金錢、友誼、教育、工作、團結/互助、文化、家庭等)中,選取核心價值進行層次分明的論述(explication et justification)。
- 篇幅嚴格限制:題目明定「12 至 15 行」(douze à quinze lignes),直接考驗考生精準控制法文行數與段落布局的功力,過多或過少皆會遭致扣分。
- 進階句構與論證銜接:要求靈活運用論說文連接詞(connecteurs logiques)、虛擬式(subjonctif)、原因與目的子句,展現 B2 至 C1 等級之法文表達能力。
解題方法
一、法翻中:結構拆解與公務中文轉換法
- 掌握官方對譯,嚴禁隨意自創名詞:
- 法語中的 Loi sur le recrutement et l'emploi des professionnels étrangers 必須對應至國內正式法律名稱《外國專業人才延攬及僱用法》。
- 機關名稱 ministère du Développement national 雖字面為「部」,但在台灣行政體制中為「國家發展委員會(國發會)」,翻譯時應以台灣中央行政機關法定名稱為準,並在首見時註明。
- 證件與資格:carte de travail Or 係指「就業金卡」;visa de résident 為「居留簽證」;certificat de résident étranger (ARC) 為「外僑居留證」;permis de résidence permanente (APRC) 為「外僑永久居留證」;permis d'entrées multiples 係指「重入國許可(多次入境許可)」。
- 長句的化繁為簡與句序重整:
- 法文習慣以多重介詞(dont, sur, afin de, en vertu de)層層鑲嵌,中文翻譯應採用「主體行動 規範內涵 立法宗旨」之邏輯順序切分短句,符合公務公文與政策新聞之行文風格。
二、法文寫作:三段式結構與行數精算法
- 價值選擇策略:
- 在篇幅僅 12–15 行的極短論述中,切忌貪多列舉。最佳策略是挑選 2 至 3 個彼此呼應的價值:例如「教育」(l'éducation,個人發展之基石)與「民主」(la démocratie,制度自由之保障),並以「團結/互助」(la solidarité,社會共融之核心)貫穿。對比工具性價值(如金錢 l'argent),更能凸顯公職考生的高度。
- 段落行數分配(嚴格鎖定 13–14 行):
- Introduction(引言,約 2–3 行):點出主題,開門見山提出自己認為最重要的核心價值。
- Développement(論證主體,約 8–9 行):分述兩大核心價值,結合論點與具體影響(D'abord... Ensuite... Enfin...)。
- Conclusion(結論,約 2–3 行):總結論點,強調這些價值對於個人與社會進步的意義。
翻譯與寫作深度剖析
一、法翻中逐段考點與易錯陷阱解析
- 第一段(立法主旨):
- dont le but est d'assouplir les réglementations sur...:dont 引導關係子句修飾該法律,翻譯應直接譯為「其目的在於放寬……之規定」。
- 考點名詞串聯:les visas, les permis de travail, la résidence, l'assurance maladie, les impôts et les retraites 分別對應「簽證、工作許可、居留、全民健康保險、租稅及退休金」,不可遺漏任何一項。
- 第二段(政策效益):
- ouvre non seulement la voie à... mais il permettra aussi de...:典型「不僅……而且將……」句型,譯為「不僅為外國專業人才營造更有利的友善工作與生活環境,亦將有助於提升台灣整體競爭力……」。
- marquait une étape importante:典雅譯法為「標誌著重要里程碑」,切忌直譯成「做了一個重要的步調」。
- 第三段(許可年限):
- seront étendus de trois années maximum actuellement à cinq, avec des prolongations pouvant aller jusqu'à cinq ans après l'expiration: 注意數字與介詞關係,是指「由現行最長三年延長至最長五年,期滿每次展延最長亦可達五年」。
- 第四段(四合一就業金卡):
- carte de travail Or (Employement Gold Card) quatre-en-un:官方標準名稱為「四合一就業金卡」。
- qui ne dépendront alors plus de leurs employeurs pour faire leurs demandes:關鍵政策突破點,即外國人才申請工作許可「無須再受制(依附)於特定雇主」,賦予求職與轉換工作的自主權。
- 第五段(居住天數鬆綁與特定專業):
第 1 題1 分
Illegal immigrants are considered by some to be an economic ____ on the country because they use services while paying almost no taxes.
核心觀念
本題考固定搭配與上下文詞義。句中說非法移民「使用公共服務,卻幾乎不繳稅」,因此有人認為他們對國家經濟造成負擔。常見搭配是 an economic drain on the country,意為「對國家經濟的消耗或負擔」。
解題方法
先看空格後的 on the country,再用後半句的 because 找原因:使用服務、繳稅很少,描述的是資源被消耗、財政承受負擔。因此空格應填表示「消耗、負擔」的名詞 drain。
選項分析
- (A) drain:正確。 a drain on ... 表示「對……的消耗、負擔」。an economic drain on the country 即「對國家經濟造成負擔」,與句意相符。
第 2 題1 分
Most immigrants readily form or join existing cultural, recreational, social or "homeland" associations, where mutual aid and cooperative efforts ____.
核心觀念
本題考單字的語意與搭配。句意為:多數移民容易成立或加入既有的文化、休閒、社交或「祖籍國」社團,在這些社團中,互助與合作努力會逐漸萌芽、發展。
關鍵在空格主詞 mutual aid and cooperative efforts(互助與合作努力)。依上下文,社團提供成員互相協助、合作的環境,因此空格應填表示「萌芽、開始發展」的動詞。
解題方法
先判斷句意的正負方向:移民加入社團後,互助與合作應是逐步形成、發展的正向活動。再比對選項:
- germinate:萌芽、開始發展,符合「互助與合作努力在社團中萌芽」的語意。
- 其餘選項都表示沒收、歧視或根除,與句意不合。
選項分析
- (A) confiscate:沒收、充公,常用於政府或權力機關依法或強制取得財物,例如 confiscate property(沒收財產)。不能表示互助或合作開始發展。
- (B) discriminate:歧視;
第 3 題1 分
For countries where dual citizenships are not permitted, the ____ of original nationality should be required.
對於不允許雙重國籍的國家而言,應當要求其(歸化者)放棄原有國籍。
核心觀念
- 移民專業英文法律搭配詞(Legal Collocation): 本題測驗國際移民法與各國國籍法制中「放棄國籍」的標準法律英文專業術語。在探討國籍身分變動時,「放棄/聲明脫離國籍」的固定法政用語為 renunciation of nationality / citizenship。
- 國籍法制背景: 依各國國籍法慣例(以命題當年民國 107 年我國《國籍法》第 9 條為例,外國人申請歸化原則上應提出喪失原有國籍之證明;現行法雖針對高級專業人才等增訂免喪失原國籍之例外,但原則規範未變),單一國籍制(不承認雙重國籍)國家要求歸化者必須「拋棄/喪失」原有國籍,方能取得新國籍。
解題方法
- 句意邏輯分析:
- 句首為條件狀語 "For countries where dual citizenships are not permitted"(對於不允許雙重國籍的國家而言)。
- 既然該國制度嚴禁雙重國籍,外國人若要歸化或取得身分,主管機關必然會要求其對 "original nationality"(原有國籍)做出「放棄、割捨」的法律行為。
- 語意與詞彙搭配檢驗:
- 空格位於定冠詞 "the" 與介系詞片語 "of original nationality" 之間,需填入具備相應法律效果的名詞。
- 國際法及法學英文中,專門指涉「主動放棄、聲明拋棄(權利、信仰或國籍身分)」的正式名詞即為 renunciation(動詞為 renounce)。其餘選項皆無「拋棄法律身分」之意,故 (A) 為唯一正確解答。
選項分析
- (A) renunciation【正確】
- 詞性與詞義:名詞,意為「聲明放棄、宣告脫離、拋棄(權利、主張、國籍或信仰)」。
- 動詞搭配:源自及物動詞 renounce(例如:renounce one's citizenship)。
- 用法說明:在移民法中,renunciation of nationality 為標準法學名詞,指當事人依法自願放棄或脫離原屬國國籍之法律行為,完全切合不承認雙重國籍之情境。
- (B) recalibration【錯誤】
- 詞性與詞義:名詞,意為「重新校準、微調、重新評估」。
- 錯誤原因:源自動詞 recalibrate,主要用於儀器刻度重校,或抽象層面的政策方針、戰略評估調整。
第 4 題1 分
In many countries, the immigration law puts a ban on employing aliens unless they are lawfully ____ for permanent residence or authorized to be employed.
核心觀念
本題考「動詞與介系詞搭配」及移民、居留語境中的法律用語。句意是:許多國家的移民法禁止雇用外國人,除非該外國人已依法獲准永久居留,或已獲准工作。
空格前有副詞 lawfully(依法),後接 for permanent residence(永久居留)。符合語意與搭配的是 be admitted for permanent residence,意為「獲准永久居留」。
解題方法
先看句型:are lawfully ____ for permanent residence。空格需要能與 for permanent residence 搭配、表示「依法獲准」的過去分詞。admit 用於正式准入或許可;在移民語境中,be admitted for permanent residence 表示「獲准永久居留」。句中後半的 or authorized to be employed(或獲准受雇)也與前半形成兩種合法資格的並列。
選項分析
- (A) admitted:正確。
admit有「准許進入、准入」之意。be admitted for permanent residence是符合移民語境的搭配,表示依法獲准永久居留。
第 5 題1 分
Tourism operators targeting senior tourists usually provide activities that are not too physically ____.
核心觀念
本題考查形容詞搭配。句中 physically demanding 表示「在體力上要求高的、耗費體力的」,常用來描述活動、工作或任務。
句意為:以年長遊客為對象的觀光業者,通常會提供體力要求不太高的活動。
解題方法
先看空格前的 physically(在體力上),再看句意:業者為年長遊客安排活動,通常會避免活動過於耗費體力。因此,空格應填入表示「要求高、費力」的形容詞;not too 則表示「不要太……」。
選項分析
- (A) adapting:動詞 adapt 的現在分詞,表示「適應、調整」,不表示活動耗費體力;physically adapting 也不符合此處語意。
第 6 題1 分
A passenger would be deemed a/an ____ when he/she is interdicted by an immigration officer for attempting to use a stolen passport to board a plane.
核心觀念
本題考英文單字在移民查驗情境中的意思。乘客企圖使用遭竊護照登機,遭移民官查獲,題目要判斷他會被視為哪一種人。
impostor 指「冒名者、假冒他人者」,可用於描述冒用他人身分或證件的人,符合題幹情境。
解題方法
先抓題幹關鍵:use a stolen passport(使用遭竊護照)以及 interdicted by an immigration officer(遭移民官攔查)。使用遭竊護照登機,表示乘客以不實身分或他人證件進行冒用,因此應選表示「冒名者」的 impostor。
選項分析
第 7 題1 分
People who skip or skimp on breakfast are more likely to have signs of plaque in their arteries than those who eat ____ breakfast.
核心觀念
本題測驗「語境反義對比(Contextual Contrast)」與「字首 sub- 易混淆形容詞辨析及飲食搭配詞(Collocation)」。
考生須掌握兩大解題焦點:
- 比較結構中的語意反差:題幹透過比較級介系詞
than形成兩類人群生活型態的強烈對比。前半句的動詞為skip(略過、不吃)與skimp on(克扣、吃得極少),因此後半句修飾早餐的形容詞必須是與其語意相反的「份量充足的、豐盛的」。 - 搭配詞運用:a substantial breakfast/meal 為英語中極常見之固定搭配,表示「豐盛飽足的早餐/餐點」。
題目與全文翻譯
題目: People who skip or skimp on breakfast are more likely to have signs of plaque in their arteries than those who eat ____ breakfast.
完整翻譯: 不吃早餐或早餐吃得極為簡略敷衍的人,比起吃豐盛早餐的人,動脈中出現斑塊(動脈粥狀硬化斑塊)的機率更高。
解題方法
- 分析句子結構與對比焦點:
- 主詞群一:
People who skip or skimp on breakfast(略過或草草打發早餐的人)。 - 比較核心:
are more likely to have signs of plaque in their arteries than...(比起……更可能動脈硬化)。 - 主詞群二(對照組):
those who eat ____ breakfast(吃……早餐的人)。
- 尋找語意線索(Clue):
skip意為「跳過、不吃」。skimp on意為「節省、敷衍、捨不得花費/供給足夠份量」。- 題幹將兩組人進行對比,對照組既然是其相反行為,空格必填入表示「足量、充實、豐盛」的形容詞。
- 帶入選項檢驗:
- 四個選項皆是以字首 sub-(在……之下、實質)開頭的形容詞。經比對,僅 (D) substantial 具有「大量的、豐盛的」之意,能修飾 breakfast 並與 skimp on 構成反義對比。
選項分析
- (A) submissive【錯誤】
- 詞性與字義:形容詞,意為「順從的、服從的、唯唯諾諾的」。
- 構詞解析:源自動詞 submit(屈服、呈交)+ 形容詞字尾 -ive。
第 8 題1 分
Gender stereotypes are set in children as early as age 6, so it's crucial to introduce an age-____ curriculum with regard to gender equality.
核心觀念
本題考查複合形容詞 age-appropriate 的搭配與語意。appropriate 作形容詞,意為「適當的、合宜的」;age-appropriate 指「符合某年齡層需求或理解能力的」。句中 curriculum 是「課程」,因此空格應填能表達「適齡課程」的字。
解題方法
先看句意:性別刻板印象在兒童年僅 6 歲時便已形成,因此介紹性別平等課程時,課程內容與教學方式應符合兒童的年齡與發展程度。英文常用 age-appropriate curriculum 表示「適齡課程」,與句意吻合。
選項分析
- (A) proof:「證明;證據」,常見於 waterproof(防水的)、proof of identity(身分證明)。age-proof curriculum 不是表示「適齡課程」的常見搭配。
- (B) appropriate:「適當的、合宜的」。
第 9 題1 分
Love, positivity, health, and family are all ingredients found in the ____ to happiness.
核心觀念
本題考辨近義字在固定搭配中的用法。句中提到愛、正向思考、健康與家庭,都是通往幸福的「要素」,因此空格應填入表示「食譜、配方」的 recipe。英文常用 the recipe to/for happiness 比喻「幸福的要素或秘訣」。
解題方法
先看空格前的 ingredients(材料、成分)。材料通常放進食譜中,兩者語意相互呼應;再看句意,愛、正向思考、健康與家庭被比喻為幸福的組成要素,因此 recipe 最符合上下文。
句意:愛、正向思考、健康與家庭,都是幸福的配方中包含的要素。
選項分析
- (A) receipt:名詞,指「收據」或「收到、接收」。它不表示配方,不能與 ingredients 構成此處的比喻搭配。
第 10 題1 分
Full-time foreign students are not ____ to receive a work permit. That is, they are not allowed to work temporarily in this country.
核心觀念
本題考「形容詞+介系詞」搭配與上下文語意。句意是:「全職外籍學生不__領取工作許可;也就是說,他們不被允許在本國暫時工作。」空格應填表示「符合資格的」形容詞 eligible,常見搭配為 be eligible to do something(有資格做某事)。
解題方法
先看後一句的 That is,表示後文是在換句話說、解釋前句:外籍學生不被允許工作。因此前句應表達「沒有資格取得工作許可」,即 are not eligible to receive a work permit。句型中的 to receive 也符合 eligible to + 原形動詞 的用法。
選項分析
- (A) eligible:符合。be eligible to receive 表示「有資格領取」,搭配否定詞 not 後即為「沒有資格領取

Roger White (2016) assumes that religion is a potential marker of cultural similarity between societies. Two societies that share a common religion or that ____ the same dominant religion are likely more culturally similar than are two societies that stick to different religious beliefs. Similar to language, which acts as a representation of culture and a means ____ culture can be transmitted, to the extent that religious views ____ or influence broader attitudes, norms, expectations, and mores, it can be viewed as a ____ that allows culture to be communicated across people and time periods. ____, the researcher employs two measures off religious distance between parent and host countries as a potential proxy variable for cultural differences. The results obtained from his study support his assumptions.
核心觀念
本題測驗「篇章上下文對稱結構(Contextual Parallelism)」與「動詞片語搭配(Phrasal Verbs & Collocations)」。考生須掌握學術英文中針對「信仰、理念、規範」之「信奉、堅持、遵循」的同義置換(如 adhere to 與 stick to 的互換),並藉由句型對等連接詞(or)與比較結構(than)迅速推敲語意方向。
解題方法
- 分析句子文法結構:
- 本句主幹為:
Two societies (...) are likely more culturally similar than are two societies (...)(擁有……的兩個社會,比起堅持不同宗教信仰的兩個社會,文化上可能更為相似)。 - 主詞 Two societies 後方由對等連接詞 or 引導兩個平行的關係代名詞子句進行修飾:
- 子句一:
that share a common religion(共享共同宗教) - 子句二:
or that [ ____ the same dominant religion ](或者【____】相同的主流宗教)
- 尋找語意線索與同義對應:
- 順向線索:連接詞 or 前面的動作是 share a common religion(共享共同宗教),因此空格處必然是正向、同向的動作,意指「信奉、遵循」相同的支配性/主流宗教。
- 對比同義線索:比較對象為後方的
societies that stick to different religious beliefs(堅持/信奉不同宗教信仰的社會)。英文寫作講究「詞彙多樣性(lexical variation)」,前半段的動詞空格即為後半段 stick to(信奉、堅持)的同義改寫。 - 在四個選項中,僅 adhere to 與 stick to 具備完全相同的語意與搭配功能(adhere to a religion / religious beliefs = 信奉宗教)。

核心觀念
本題考介系詞片語 by which 的用法,以及它在關係子句中表達「藉由……的方式」的功能。題幹提到語言是文化的表徵,也是文化傳遞的媒介,空格須填入能連接 a means 與 culture can be transmitted 的片語。
解題方法
觀察句型:
a means ____ culture can be transmitted
將空格前後的意思連起來,句意是「文化得以傳遞的一種方式」。英文可用 a means by which + 子句,其中 by which 相當於 by that means,表示「藉由該方式」。
因此,空格應填 by which。

The results obtained from his study support his assumptions.
核心觀念
本題考查片語 align with 的語意,以及如何根據上下文判斷宗教信仰與文化相似性的關係。
align with 表示「與……一致、相符、相近」。文中指出,具有共同宗教,或信奉相同主流宗教的兩個社會,通常比信仰不同的社會在文化上更相似,因此空格應填入表示「與相同主流宗教相符」的片語。
解題方法
先看句子的比較關係:前半句說兩個社會若共享宗教,文化較相似;後半句則拿它們和「信奉不同宗教信仰」的社會相比。因此,空格必須表達兩個社會的宗教信仰彼此一致,而不是彼此衝突、偏離或分離。
帶入 align with 後,句意為:「具有共同宗教,或與相同主流宗教一致的兩個社會,比信仰不同的兩個社會更可能具有文化相似性。」語意連貫,符合上下文。

核心觀念
本題考單字的語意與上下文判讀。文章把宗教比喻為一種文化傳遞的媒介:宗教能讓不同的人在不同時期溝通、共享文化,因此空格應填入表示「容器、媒介」的名詞。
解題方法
先看空格前後的句意:宗教與語言相似,能承載文化、促進文化傳遞,因此可被視為一種讓文化跨越人群與時代溝通的「媒介」。四個選項中,vessel 除了指「船、容器」,也可比喻「承載思想或文化的媒介」,最符合文意。

本題測驗篇章銜接副詞(Transitional Adverbs)之語意邏輯,特別著重於學術英文中「理論假設推導至研究方法/變數操作化(Operationalization)」的因果與順接關係。
在學術論文寫作中,段落結構常遵循「提出背景與理論假設 說明實證操作與變數設計 呈現研究結果」之論證邏輯。考生必須準確辨識前句建立的理論前提與空格句採用的研究方法之間的邏輯連貫性。
解題方法
- 分析前文的理論鋪陳(Premise):
- 第一句至第三句指出:學者 Roger White 假設宗教是社會間文化相似度的潛在指標;共享相同主流宗教的社會在文化上更為接近;宗教與語言類似,具備傳遞文化價值、規範與習俗的功能。
- 核心概念:「宗教能充分反映並傳遞文化」。
- 分析空格句的研究操作(Methodological Action):
- 空格所在句:
____, the researcher employs two measures of religious distance between parent and host countries as a potential proxy variable for cultural differences. - 句意:研究者採用母國(parent country)與地主國(host country)之間的兩項宗教距離測量指標,作為文化差異的潛在代理變數(proxy variable)。
- 判斷句際邏輯關係(Logical Transition):
- 前文剛確立「宗教能代表文化」的理論推論,空格句緊接著說明研究者「因此/相應地」以「宗教距離」來代表「文化差異」。
- 前後文為合理的因果推論與順承關係(正向銜接),必須選取具有「因此、據此、相應地」之連接副詞。
選項分析
- (A) Accordingly:【正確】
- 詞性與詞義:副詞,意為「因此、據此、相應地」(in a way that is appropriate; therefore / consequently)

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.
What is this passage mainly about?

本題考查主旨判斷:要從整篇文章找出作者主要在談的議題,而不是只挑出其中一個人物、地點或法案。判斷時應留意文章的背景、事件發展及結果,尤其是反覆出現或貫穿全文的核心概念。
解題方法
文章先介紹《種族關係法》原本是為了保障移民免受歧視,接著說明移民在英國遭遇的種族歧視,再聚焦於鮑威爾(Enoch Powell)反對移民及相關法案的演說。演說指稱白人受到剝奪、批評移民大量入境;雖然他因此遭到政黨領袖處分,仍獲得多數民眾支持,並使種族主義者更加受到鼓舞。
因此,法案、城市與演說都服務於同一條主線:英國社會中的反移民情緒及其擴大。最能涵蓋全文主旨的是 (D) Anti-immigration in Britain(英國的反移民情緒)。
選項分析
- (A) Race Relations Act. 錯誤。文章確實介紹《種族關係法》,但法案是保障移民免受歧視的背景;後文主要著重於鮑威爾反對移民與反歧視法案的演說,以及該演說如何獲得民眾支持、助長種族主義。選項只涵蓋文章的一部分。

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.
Which of the following best describes the intention of drafting the Race Relations Act?
核心觀念
本題考查閱讀理解,重點是辨認《Race Relations Act》(種族關係法)的立法目的。題幹開頭直接指出,該法禁止雇主、房東或公共服務提供者因種族或國籍而拒絕提供工作、住房或公共服務;立法是為了保護來自大英國協國家的移民。
解題方法
先抓題幹中對立法目的的明確說明,再與選項比對。關鍵句是:該法「使基於種族或國籍拒絕提供工作、住房或公共服務成為違法」,並且「旨在保護移民」。因此,正確選項應指出法律要避免移民因種族而受到差別待遇。
選項分析
-
(A) To boost population growth of the country. 錯誤。題幹沒有說立法目的是增加人口;移民人數增加是背景,與制定反歧視法律的直接目的不同。
-
(B) To welcome commonwealth nationals to become labors in Britain. 錯誤。

What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
核心觀念
本題考主旨判斷。主旨題要找出段落中涵蓋範圍最完整的核心訊息,而非只挑選其中一項細節。
解題方法
第二段先說明移民來到英國的背景:戰後勞工短缺,移民受邀前來並取得英國公民身分,協助重建英國;接著以「But」轉折,指出他們仍遭遇種族歧視,例如房東拒絕出租、雇主拒絕聘用。段落最後再次說明《種族關係法》旨在保護移民。
因此,段落重點是移民對英國重建的貢獻,以及他們同時面臨的歧視。
選項分析
- (A) Sathnam Sanghera's parents emigrated from India. Sathnam Sanghera 的父母來自印度,只是段落中的背景資訊,沒有涵蓋整段主旨。

According to the third paragraph, why did Powell attack the bill?
核心觀念
本題測驗「長篇閱讀理解之段落細節定位與論點歸納(Detail & Argument Identification)」。 解題的核心在於:
- 掌握特定人物(英國國會議員 Enoch Powell)在特定歷史脈絡下的政治立場與發言脈絡。
- 釐清因果關係(Why did Powell attack the bill?),精準定位第三段中發言者抨擊《族群關係法案》(Race Relations Act)所持之核心論據。
- 辨析作者在引述發言時所使用的轉述子句結構(He said... and that...)。
解題方法
- 定位題幹關鍵字: 題幹詢問「According to the third paragraph, why did Powell attack the bill?」(根據第三段,鮑威爾為何攻擊該法案?)。請直接鎖定第三段中出現「attacked the bill」之關鍵句及其後續補充說明。
- 分析第三段原文脈絡:
- 原文第 6~8 句:「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.」
- 句型結構分析: 鮑威爾抨擊禁止歧視的法案(attacked the bill that outlawed discrimination),其後接續兩個由連接詞 that 引導的名詞子句,說明他抨擊的理由與論點:
- 子句一:認為受剝奪的是白人(whites who were facing deprivation)。
- 子句二:直指英國整體政策方向認為「必須允許大量移民湧入」簡直是舉國發瘋(Britain "must be mad, literally mad, as a nation to be permitting" large numbers of immigrants to enter)。
- 對應選項與命題邏輯: 出題者將該法案及背後的國家政策定性為「英國必須允許大量移民進入」(Britain must permit large numbers of immigrants to enter),而鮑威爾正是將這項政策與法案視為國家自毀的荒謬舉措(must be mad... to be permitting)而加以痛批,故官方答案定為 (C)。
選項分析
-
(A) Immigrants were being mistreated.(移民正遭受不當對待)——【錯誤】 第二段雖提及二戰後移民遭受歧視、房東拒租等不當對待,但第三段的鮑威爾是持強烈反移民立場的保守派議員。他反對該法案並非為了替少數族裔爭取權益,而是認為法案過度保護移民,本選項與鮑威爾的政治立場完全相反。
-
(B) People neglected immigration laws.(人們忽視了移民法規)——【錯誤】

Which of the following is true about Enoch Powell and his speech?
核心觀念
本題考查閱讀理解:能否從文章中辨認人物、政黨立場,以及一場演說與《種族關係法》(Race Relations Act)之間的關係。作答時應以文中明確敘述為準,避免把演說者的主張誤當成文章認可的事實。
解題方法
先抓文章中的關鍵資訊:法律旨在保護移民免受種族歧視;Powell 批評這項法案,並以移民問題煽動種族對立;保守黨領袖 Edward Heath 隨即解除 Powell 的黨內領導職務。這表示 Powell 的政治立場沒有獲得黨領袖支持,與選項 (C) 相符。
選項分析
-
(A) Powell's speech initiated Britain's immigration laws. 錯誤。文章說《種族關係法》旨在禁止因種族或國籍而拒絕提供工作、住房或公共服務;Powell 的演說是批評這項法案,並非促成英國移民法的起點。
-
(B) Powell's speech terminated the Race Relations Act. 錯誤。文章沒有說演說終止或廢除《種族關係法》。
