📖 題組：
By most standards, Austin Jia holds an enviable position. A rising sophomore at Duke, Mr. Jia attends one of the top universities in the country, setting him up for success. With his high G.P.A., nearly perfect SAT score and activities — debate team, tennis captain and state orchestra — Mr. Jia believes he should have had a fair shot at Harvard, Princeton, Columbia and the University of Pennsylvania. However, those Ivy League colleges rejected him after he applied in the fall of 2015. It was particularly disturbing, Mr. Jia said, when classmates with lower scores than his — but who were not Asian-American, like him — were admitted to those Ivy League institutions. “My gut reaction was that I was super disillusioned by how the whole system was set up,” Mr. Jia, said. Students like Mr. Jia are now the subject of a lawsuit accusing Harvard of discriminating against Asian-Americans in admissions by imposing a penalty for their high achievement and giving preferences to other racial minorities.

在國考英文的高階閱讀測驗中，掌握「語義強度」(Semantic Intensity) 是解題核心。請審視文中 Jia 描述心情時使用的強烈修飾語 $super disillusioned$ 以及後續發起的 $lawsuit$ 行動，這反映出的心理負面程度，在量值上應趨近於程度副詞 $a bit$ (稍微) 還是 $totally$ (完全) 的描述？
