In recent years cattle breeders have increasingly used crossbreeding, in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics and partly because crossbreeding is said to provide hybrid vigor.
  (A) in part that their steers should acquire certain characteristics

  (B) in part for the acquisition of certain characteristics in their steers
  (C) partly because of their steers acquiring certain characteristics
  (D) partly because certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers
  (E) partly to acquire certain characteristics in their steers


答案:E


partly because 不是应该对应partly because 平行的吗?为什么这题选E?答案认为D被动语态awkward,是不是说明简洁性比平行结构要重要?



问题2:请解释obtaining an investment-grade rating will keep the county's future borrowing costs low 和To obtain  an investment-grade rating will keep the county's future borrowing costs low的区别。
不定式和VING做主语在GMAT中有什么区别

谢谢~~

D,partly because和partly because平行,可是仔细一看,还是E更合适。D的被动态繁琐了,而且一般不是这么用的。而E,是partly...和partly...平行,partly to 的部分和前句连接更加紧密,用动词不定式表示原因/目的。
并不能去比较简洁和平行的重要性,还是要具体看句子的情况吧!

个人认为:动名词做主语:1) 表示某一正在发生的事情或者状态;2) 通常指一个比较抽象或范范的东西。
         动词不定式做主语:1) 表示还没有发生的或将要发生的;2) 通常指一个比较具体的事情。

上述句子,用不定式更为恰当。

很同意你关于不定式表目的的说法,我原来不理解句意认为表原因,看来词汇量不够是很吃亏的。

这道题目如果按GMAC一般的出题思路的话是完全要选D的, partly because和 partly because对应不说,而且certain characteristics should be acquired by their steers 与 crossbreeding is said to provide hybrid vigor还一致。所以选择D是没错的,而且很符合GMAC一贯的SC出题思路。 不过这题他解释的时候说前面一句的被动语态有点awkward,但是没有说它错,所以这样用是对的,但是有点awkward,所以GMAC这点的解释就是说习惯上不这么用,而并不是说它是错的。 partly to acquire certain characteristics in their steers 显然更加简洁明了,你可以比较一下把这个characteristics放前面然后后面用被动语态和原句的那个crossbreeding的后面的那个被动语态比较一下。是不是发现原文的那个crossbreeding的用的还是比较上口,但是把characteristics放前面后面再用被动语态是不是有点awkward呢? 虽然说D是完全符合GMAC的出题规律的,但是这题人家就是这样想我们怎恶魔着? 只好适应它。。
GMAC就喜欢考察你对句子的理解,比如是不是wordy啊,awkward之类的东西,所以还是那一句话,并不是因为它们是错的,而是嫌它罗嗦和不是习惯用法而已。
所以这一题并不需要去深究,考试中即使出现这样的题目也不会太多的,一题两题了不得了,再说了你也不一定选错啊不是么?
