问题    The things people make, and the way they make them, determine how cities grow and decline, and influence how empires rise and fall. 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.
   Robots are breaking free from the cages that surround them, learning new skills and new ways of working. And 3D printers have long【C3】______ a world where you can make anything, anywhere, from a computerised design. That vision is【C4】______ closer to reality.

Humans will be【C5】______ many of the dirty, repetitive, and dangerous jobs that have long been a【C6】______ of factory life.

But economist Helena Leurent says this period of rapid change in manufacturing is a【C9】______ opportunity to make the world a better place. "Manufacturing is the one system where you have got the biggest source of innovation, the biggest source of economic growth, and the biggest source of great jobs in the past. You can see it changing.

   D) fantastic I) interaction N) shape
   E) fascinated J) leaning O) spared [br] 【C9】
选项
答案 D
解析 [语法判断]本空位于冠词a之后，名词opportunity之前，因此应填入形容词。[语义判断]本句指出，制造业的这段快速变化时期是一个让世界变得更美好的______机会。由本段最后一句可知，这位经济学家认为制造业的变革具有重大意义，因此这是一个改变世界的好机会。空格处应填入含有积极意义的形容词，故本题答案为D)fantastic。E)fascinated虽然也具有积极的内涵，但是它只能形容人，不能形容物，因此排除。
