题目分析:商务部报道了两件事:1. 国家经济在第二季度以3.7%的速度增长;2.但是, 当企业在扩大生产的时候,未售出的货物正在货架上堆积因为消费者开销大幅度减慢
本题主要借助时态考察了语意
选项分析:
A选项:but后面 while引导的从句表达的是和主句“同时发生”,所以此选项的主句用一般过去式、as引导的从句用正在进行时是不合适的。
B选项:正确
C选项:主句用了过去完成时,表达的字面意思是:当企业在扩大生产的时候,货物已经堆积了。但逻辑上应该是:企业在扩大生产,同时,货物在堆积。
D选项:主句直接变成了“消费者开销正在减缓”,但和“生产扩大”同时发生的应该是“货物堆积”。并且,堆积的原因是“开销减缓”,这里用“with”无法表达因果关系。
E选项:同D。并且这里用的现在完成时,表达“到现在为止”。但前面的“while”提示我们应该是两个动作一起发生。
pile up 堆积,可以人堆积也可以物堆积,也可以被动式,如:She piled everything into her suitcase. 她把一应物品装进衣箱。; Work always piles up at the end of the year. 年底总是积压一大堆工作。;The clothes were piled high on the chair. 衣服在椅子上堆得高高的。
increase/slow/decrease/quicken 都用主动式,不用被动式,如:The price/rate/population/number increases. ;We need to increase productivity. 我们需要提高生产力。
be increased式形容词,如:The polymerization shrinkage value decreases when the molecular weight is increased。
