? 文章定位（關鍵句）

最後一段提到：

“digital systems do not exist outside society but intensify the structures already within it.”

? 句意拆解

關鍵有兩個部分：

• do not exist outside society
  → 數位系統不是在社會之外獨立存在
• intensify the structures already within it
  → 反而加強／放大既有的社會結構

? 合起來意思是：
科技不是獨立的，它會反映並強化社會既有結構（如權力、不平等）

❌ 選項分析

(A) Technology develops independently from culture.

錯 ❌

• 剛好相反：科技不是獨立於文化

(B) Technology reflects and strengthens existing social structures.

✔️ 正確

• 完全對應 “intensify the structures already within it”

(C) Digital technology replaces traditional social systems.

錯 ❌

• 文中沒有說「取代」

(D) Most people cannot fully escape digital systems.

錯 ❌

• 文章沒有討論「無法逃離」

? 正確答案

(B) Technology reflects and strengthens existing social structures.

? 重點整理

這句話的核心思想：

? 科技不是中立或外在力量
? 它會放大現實社會的權力與結構
