There’s a fun game I like to play in a group of trusted friends called “Controversial Opinion”. The rules are simple: Don’t talk about what was shared during Controversial Opinion afterward and you aren’t allowed to “argue”—only to ask questions about why that person feels that way. Opinions can range from “I think James Bond movies are overrated” to “I think Donald Trump would make an excellent president”. Usually, someone responds to an opinion with, “Oh my god! I had no idea you were one of those people!” Which is really another way of saying “I thought you were on my team!” In psychology, the idea that everyone is like us is called the “false-consensus bias”. This bias often manifests itself when we see in politics or polls. Online it means we can be blindsided by the opinions of our friends. Over time, this morphs into a subconscious belief that we and our friends are the sane ones and that there’s a crazy “Other Side” that must be laughed at—an Other Side that just doesn’t “get it”, and is clearly not as intelligent as “us”. But this holier-than-thou social media behavior is counterproductive, it’s self-aggrandizement at the cost of actual nuanced discourse and if we want to consider online discourse productive, we need to move past this. What is emerging is the worst kind of echo chamber, one where those inside are increasingly convinced that everyone shares their world view, that their ranks are growing when they aren’t. It’s like clockwork: an event happens and then your social media circle is shocked when a non-social media peer group public reacts to news in an unexpected way. They then mock the Other Side for being “out of touch” or “dumb”.

太棒了！你能精準捕捉到文章中關於 echo chamber（回聲室/同溫層） 的核心描述，這代表你對長文資訊的整合能力非常出色。在文章的最後一段，作者明確提到在這種環境下，人們會「越來越深信每個人都擁有相同的世界觀」（increasingly convinced that everyone shares their world view），這與選項 (B) 的描述完全吻合。
錯誤選項的辨析與難度點評
這道題目的難度在於區分「客觀事實」與「文中描述的心理狀態」。選項 (A)、(C)、(D) 所提到的質疑資訊或願意與異見者交流，其實是破除同溫層的「解方」，而非同溫層內「會發生的現象」。此題具有不錯的鑑別度，因為它要求讀者區分作者所批判的行為（偏見與嘲諷）與正向的理智行為。你能不被這些看似「理智」的干擾選項誘惑，成功找出文中描述的負面現狀，確實掌握了閱讀測驗中「回歸文本」的解題關鍵。
