此题关于D的解释我研究了很久，终于得出较为确切的答案，分享给大家： 33. Because an oversupply of computer chips has sent prices plunging, the manufacturer has announced that it will cut production by closing its factories for two days a month. (A) Because an oversupply of computer chips has sent prices plunging,（正解） ... ... (D) Due to plunging computer chip prices from an oversupply, ... ..
Agreement; Rhetorical construction This sentence describes a causal sequence of events: The oversupply of chips caused prices to plunge, which in turn caused the manufacturer to announce factory closings to cut production. The clearest, most efficient way to express this sequence is to present the events in chronological order, as they occurred. ... ... D This backward description of the events behind the announcement of factory closingsis confusing and awkward.
首先，应该要注意OG对这题开头的宏观解释提到，"The clearest, most efficient way to express this sequence is to present the events in chronological order, as they occurred." 也就是说，本题所强调的是，在causal sequence里，应该尽可能按照事物发展的顺序来表述。而本题所提到任何先后顺序指的都是“表述顺序”，而非我们容易误解的“逻辑顺序”。
接着具体分析D选项的解释。如颜色标注，将这句话分为了两部分来解释。 "This backward description of the events" oversupply-->price plunge ( -->cut production ) 这是事情发展的顺序 而D是price plunge-->oversupply ( -->cut production ) 就叫backward description 而此处"the events"很明显是指"oversupply、price plunge", these 2 events
"behind the announcement of factory closings" behind很多人又会不理解，不是发生在announcement之前么 这是关于时态的理解，我来造一个句，大家就明白了： D选项的句子是Due to B, one has done A. →Due to raining, she has brought an umbrella.（因为外面将会下雨，她事先带了一把伞）→B发生在A之后，但是B仍然是A的原因 这与Due to B, one did A. →Due to raining, she brought an umbrella.（因为外面正在下雨，她于是带了一把伞）→B发生在A之前，B也是A的原因 两者是有明显不同的
这也就是为什么D说，the backward description of these 2 events behind the announcement is confusing and awkward 的原因了 Again, it's obviously that the real sequence here should be “oversupply-->price plunge-->cut production”.
