主动句是现在的普遍观点,不要再满篇被动句了。连word都把被动句划绿线了。
有点长,基本上就是把各个杂志的要求收集了一些,归结起来就是要用第一人称主动句。

Emphasize the Active Voice
Nowadays, most medical and scientific style manuals support the active over
the passive voice.
For example, the American Medical Association's AMA Manual of Style
recommends that "in general, authors should use the active voice, except in
instances in which the author is unknown or the interest focuses on what is
acted upon."
The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) has
similar advice: "Prefer the active voice....The passive voice is acceptable
in expository writing and when you want to focus on the object or recipient
of the action rather than on the actor."
These manuals and other books on science writing recommend using the active
voice as much as possible. An author may decide to focus on the receiver—
and thus use the passive voice—when the performer is unknown or of less
importance. For many authors, this occurs most often in the Methods section.
Do scientific and medical journals, in their instructions for authors,
advise them to write in the active voice?
Many journals indirectly do so by referring authors to a style manual that
supports the active voice, or by publishing articles in which active-voice
sentences are common and acceptable.
Although some journals ask authors to limit first-person pronouns or
restrict them to certain sections, others not only encourage authors to
write in an active style, but prefer them to use first-person pronouns over
passive voice. Here is a small sampling:
Behavioral Ecology: "The first-person active voice is preferable to the
impersonal passive voice."
British Medical Journal: "Please write in a clear, direct, and active style.
...Write in the active [voice] and use the first person where necessary."
The Journal of Neuroscience: "Overuse of the passive voice is a common
problem in writing. Although the passive has its place—for example, in the
Methods section—in many instances it makes the manuscript dull by failing
to identify the author's role in the research....Use direct, active-voice
sentences."
The Journal of Trauma and Dissociation: "Use the active voice whenever
possible: We will ask authors that rely heavily on use of the passive voice
to re-write manuscripts in the active voice."
Nature: "Nature journals like authors to write in the active voice ('we
performed the experiment...') as experience has shown that readers find
concepts and results to be conveyed more clearly if written directly."
Ophthalmology: "Active voice is much preferred to passive voice, which
should be used sparingly....Passive voice...does not relieve the author of
direct responsibility for observations, opinions, or conclusions (e.g., 'The
problem of blood flow was investigated...' vs. 'We investigated the problem
of blood flow...')."
Science: "Use active voice when suitable, particularly when necessary for
correct syntax (e.g., 'To address this possibility, we constructed a lZap
library ...,' not 'To address this possibility, a lZap library was
constructed...')."
