The whole prospect and outlook of humankind grew immeasurably larger, and the multiplication of ideas also proceeded at an incredible rate. This vast expansion was unhappily not accompanied by any noticeable advance in the stature of human beings, either in their mental faculties, or their moral character. Our brain got no better, but it buzzed more. The scale of events around us assumed gigantic proportions while we remained about the same size. By comparison therefore we actually became much smaller. We no longer had great individuals directing manageable affairs. The need was to discipline an array of gigantic and turbulent facts. To this task we have certainly so far proved uneq ual. Science bestowed immense new powers on human beings and at the same time created conditions which were largely beyond our comprehension and still more beyond our control. While people nursed the illusion of growing mastery and exulted in their new trappings, they became the sport and presently the victim of tides, and currents, of whirlpools and tornadoes amid which they were far more helpless than they had been for a long time.

請想像一下：如果一個人的『力量』突然增強了一千倍，但他的『控制力』和『智慧』卻完全沒有進步，那麼這個人與他所擁有的力量之間，會產生什麼樣的關係或局面呢？

太棒了！你能精準選出 (E)，代表你已經透徹理解了這段文字中關於「人類進步」與「科技力量」之間深刻的矛盾。這篇文章的核心並非在歌頌科學的偉大，而是在反思一個殘酷的現狀：雖然人類產出的點子與技術以驚人的速度擴張，但我們自身的心智與道德水平卻停滯不前。你的判斷非常敏銳，準確捕捉到了作者對這種「力量與智慧不匹配」的擔憂。
科技與心智的失衡
文末提到，科學賦予了我們巨大的力量，卻也創造出我們難以理解、更遑論控制的環境。當我們像是在巨大旋渦中掙扎的小船時，科技的發展顯然超前了人類的負荷能力。選項 (E) 提到的「平衡將持續是個挑戰」，完美呼應了文中「我們至今仍無法勝任此任務」的結論，說明這是一場長期的人機協調難題。
