考题讲解

题目分析:
本题中有些选项既有语法错误又有逻辑错误,通过两种方向皆可选出答案。

选项分析:

A选项:Correct. 本选项在语法和逻辑上均是正确的。

B选项:because of是介词,身后的名词短语的核心词是prices。相较于选项(A),两者的原因状语中的核心词是不同的。(A)中核心词为动词sent,本选项中核心词为prices。显然地,在逻辑上,能和未划线部分形成因果关系的是应该是“过分供给导致价格下降”这件事,而不是价格本身(如果不过过分供给导致的价格下降,那也就不用后面的减产了)。另外,which is due to an oversupply是一个定语从句先行词需要是一个单数名词,但本选项中其身前没有单数名词。

C选项:which resulted from an oversupply是定语从句,其先行词为computer chip prices(只有这一个名词)。但在逻辑上,由于“过分供给”导致的应该是“价格下降”,而不是“价格”。

D选项:
本选项原因状语的核心词错误同(B)。

E选项:
本选项due to身后的核心词是an oversupply,但是,在逻辑上,制造商下降产量的原因是过分供给做的事情,也不是过分供给本身。
