答案解析
正确答案：A
解析：
这是一道词义辨析的问题。首先，我们需要理解题目的语境和每个选项的含义，然后结合语境和选项的含义进行匹配。
- 语境理解：题目描述的是现代科技让生活变得更快，但过快的生活节奏也带来了损失。关键在于理解“by _11() everything up”这一部分，这里指的是通过某种方式使所有事情都变得很快。
- 选项分析：
- A: speeding（加速）
这个选项与题目中“makes everything faster”相呼应，表示通过加速所有事情来达到更快的目的。符合语境。
- B: setting（设置）
“setting everything up”通常指的是安排或准备好所有事情，与“更快”无直接关联。不符合语境。
- C: waking（唤醒）
“waking everything up”意味着唤醒所有事物，这在语境中显然不合适。不符合语境。
- D: looking（看）
“looking everything up”通常指查找所有事情，与“更快”无直接联系。不符合语境。
综上所述，根据语境和选项分析，最合适的答案是A: speeding，因为它与题目中描述的“通过使所有事情变得更快”相符合。所以，答案是A。
