7. As its sales of computer products have surpassedthose of measuring instruments, thecompany hasbecome increasingly willing to compete for the massmarket sales they would in the past have concededto rivals.

(A) they would in the past have conceded to rivals

(B) they would have conceded previously to theirrivals

(C) that in the past would have been concededpreviously to rivals

(D) it previously would have conceded to rivals inthe past

(E) it would in the past have conceded to rivals

OG中,C选项的解释:除了previously 和in the past语义重复外,关于:the passive-voice construction in this context is weak and
ambiguous.

我想知道,为什么被动语态不好?哪里体现weak,哪里又体现ambiguous了????
求高人解答!!!
thx~~~

1.The Glass House Mountains in Queensland, Australia,

(A) by whom they were named supposedly because its
(B) by whom they were named supposedly and their
(C) naming them supposedly since their
(D) who so named them supposedly because their
(E) who so named it since supposedly their

还有第一题中,也涉及到了定从中的主被动问题!
我感觉这两题考点好像,但是不知道有什么具体的联系?

我的理解是:这里面的定从想要修饰的是Jams Cook ,而他是从句动作的发出者,所以不能用被动!
而第七题,定语从句修饰的是market sales,从句要表达的是:公司在去年让给竞争者的,market sales 是动作的承受者,应该用被动才对吧!
难道是因为concede to 不能用被动吗?

首先“被动是unfavorable”的这句话是一个准则,大多数时候我们不争论为什么这样而只是接受GMAC的游戏规则。

至于原因,被动语态只能单纯的描述动作的受让者而无法表达动作的发出者,因此是weak并且ambiguous的。例如在第七题中,C选项说market被让给了对手,但是我们并不清楚谁把market让给了竞争对手。主动句则清楚的表达了“那个公司(前文所说的)把市场让给竞争对手”

谢谢啦~~恩恩!
那是不是,几乎GMAT中的主动与被动选择问题,都是倾向用主动的呢??

不是的啊,曼哈顿统计了有60%都是用被动,还说如果拿不准,就选被动的。。。gmat老人故意反其道而行之给选项。这题我也不知道哪里ambiguous了。
