Immigration is regarded by the public as the biggest issue facing British society, a major new survey taking stock of the state of the country reveals. One in three people believes tension between immigrants and people born in the UK is the major cause of division, while well over half regard it as one of the top three causes.
Over the past two decades, both immigration and emigration have increased to historically high levels, with those entering the country exceeding those leaving by more than 100 000 in every year since 1998. Yet the survey in a report by the think tank British Future also suggests the country is, at heart, tolerant of those who come to its shores. While one in four thinks being born here is important to being British, two-thirds of people believe the welfare state should be open to those born abroad who have contributed to society and play by the rules.
The poll results are being released as communities secretary Eric Pickles prepares to give a major speech in which he will announce further efforts to aid integration. Pickles will say that a mastery of English is the key to social mobility and essential if people of different generations want to get on. Me will stress that a shared language is vital for our economy. And he will highlight it is as the key to uniting people and increasing their understanding of one another.
Sunder Katwala. director of British Future, said the survey highlighted a national anxiety about immigration to which national politicians needed to respond. However, he also noted that the results suggested that when people thought about their local areas, there was less concern. While 30% placed immigration first when thinking about tensions facing British society as a whole, only 19% chose it as the most divisive issue in their own area.
There was also very little correlation(关联)between the geographical distribution of immigrants and the levels of concern. Immigration was regarded as the most divisive issue for 19% of people in north-east England and 20% in Wales where the 2011 census shows one in 20 people were born abroad and for 20% of Londoners, where immigrants make up one in three of the population.
What can be learned about the distribution of immigrants in Britain?
选项
A、The percentage of immigrants varies greatly in geography.
B、The distribution of immigrants reflects the level of anxiety.
C、The percentage of immigrants is higher in London than that in Wales.
D、The distribution of immigrants has changed very little since 2011.
答案
C
解析
推理判断题。原文最后一段中提到,英格兰东北部19%的人和威尔士20%的人认为移民问题是内部分裂的最大原因。2011年的人口普查显示,在以上两个地区中,5%的人在国外出生。而在外来移民占人口三分之一的伦敦地区,认为移民问题是内部分裂的最大原因的人占到了20%。由此可知,相比较而言,伦敦的移民比例比威尔士要高,故C)正确。
