unsold goods had piled up on store shelves with a sharp slowing of consumer spending

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。
with 无法体现因果关系
