例：
Yes, new technology has been eating jobs forever, and always will. But there has been an acceleration. As Davidson notes, “In the 10 years ending in 2009, factories shed workers so fast that erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years; roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs — about 6 million in total — disappeared.”
23. The quotation in Paragraph 4 explains that ________
A. gains of technology have been erased
B. job opportunities are disappearing at a high speed
C. factories are making much less money than before
D. new jobs and services have been offered
23.第四段的引言解释的是______
A. 科技的成就被抹掉了
B. 工作的机会正加速的消失
C. 工厂比以前赚钱越来越少了
D. 新的工作和新的服务被提供了
答案：B
题型：例证题
解析：quotation是引言，即引号部分，前面有：正如Davidson提到的“…”，即重心的内容或主旨是前面一句话，后面是加上一个引言来具体的说明。这是联考里面常出现的一种文章书写的形式，有主旨到事例，事例是用来支持或是批判观点的。所以，答案只能是B。
