So, any disruption to the world’s factories【C1】______ And that disruption is surely coming. Factories are being digitised, filled with new sensors and new computers to make them quicker, more【C2】______ , and more efficient.

选项
答案 L
解析 [语法判断]本空位于is之后，应填入动词的-ing形式，构成现在进行时。[语义判断]本句中的That vision指的是前一句中描述的未来世界，而由于技术的飞速发展，人们已经可以用3D打印机制造很多东西，因此人们距离实现这一愿景越来越近。因此，空格处应填入表示“距离发生改变，缩短”意义的动词，故本题答案为L)moving。
