正确答案：C
解析：
这是一道语境理解与词汇辨析的问题。首先，我们需要理解题目中的语境，再逐个分析选项，找出最符合语境的答案。
1. **理解语境**：文中描述的是现代科技使生活节奏变快，人们忙碌于各种快速进行的活动。但尽管速度快，却似乎总是在落后，暗示了一种“越快反而越落后”的悖论。
2. **分析选项**：
- A选项（more）：表示“更多”，与文中描述的“快”的主题不符。
- B选项（slower）：表示“更慢”，与文中强调的“快”相悖。
- C选项（faster）：表示“更快”，与文中描述的现代生活快节奏相符，并且与后文的“越快反而越落后”相呼应。
- D选项（less）：表示“更少”，同样与文中主题不符。
3. **确定答案**：根据语境理解和词汇辨析，C选项（faster）最符合文中的描述。它不仅与文章主题“快”相符，还巧妙地与后文的“越快反而越落后”形成了对比，突出了现代生活的忙碌与压力。
综上所述，答案是C（faster），因为它准确地反映了文中描述的现代生活快节奏以及由此带来的问题。
