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.第四段的引言解釋的是______

A. 科技的成就被抹掉了

B. 工作的機會正加速的消失

C. 工廠比以前賺錢越來越少了

D. 新的工作和新的服務被提供了

答案：B

題型：例證題

解析：quotation是引言，即引號部分，前面有：正如Davidson提到的“…”，即重心的內容或主旨是前面一句話，后面是加上一個引言來具體的說明。這是聯考里面常出現的一種文章書寫的形式，有主旨到事例，事例是用來支持或是批判觀點的。所以，答案只能是B。
