选项 A、facility
B、capability
C、competence
D、liability
答案 B
解析 语义衔接题。第三段提到rocketing information technologies are creating new capabilities，computer technology也属于information technologies的一种，由此可知，计算机技术也能给工厂经理们一种新的能力，故答案为[B]capability“能力”。末段提到的industrial capabilities对本题也有提示作用。[C]competence也有“能力”的意思，但它侧重指令人满意的业务能力、水平或胜任某项工作的能力等，与此处语义不符。[A]facility“设备”；[D]liability“责任”。
