以下是引用rhod在2004-8-1 22:30:00的发言：

我觉得这里要补出的应该是was, 而不是had been. 过去完成时没道理。而且这种句式在OG31里被否掉了。

31.   Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, there is a disinclination on the part of many people to recognize the degree to which their analytical skills are weak.

(A) Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, there is a disinclination on the part of many people to recognize the degree to which their analytical skills are weak.

(B) Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, which they admit they lack, many people are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak.

(C) Unlike computer skills or other technical skills, analytical skills bring out a disinclination in many people to recognize that they are weak to a degree.

(D) Many people, willing to admit that they lack computer skills or other technical skills, are disinclined to recognize that their analytical skills are weak.（D）

(E) Many people have a disinclination to recognize the weakness of their analytical skills while willing to admit their lack of computer skills or other technical skills.

Choice D is best. Choice A illogically compares skills to a disinclination; choice B compares skills to many people. Choice C makes the comparison logical by casting analytical skills as the subject of the sentence, but it is awkward and unidiomatic to say skills bring out a disinclination. Also in C, the referent of they is unclear, and weak to a degree changes the meaning of the original statement. In E, have a disinclination... while willing is grammatically incomplete, and admit their lack should be admit to their lack. By making people the subject of the sentence, D best expresses the intended contrast, which pertains not so much to skills as to people’s willingness to recognize different areas of weakness.

可是为什么In E, have a disinclination... while willing is grammatically incomplete

while willing 为什么语法上不完全啊？

一般来说，有being的选项都是不正确的，gmat不喜欢这个词啊！while在gmat中只作连词，后跟句子。有while +v ing的形式。只有e最好。as作介词＋n.

不要再用这个来判断！

willing是形容词，固定搭配是be willing to，所以不完整！

请参考8楼tianwan的详细解释。

这是ETS思想!

请问主语和be动词是不是必须同时保留或同时省略，不能只省略其中任意一个？

以下是引用tianwan对og31的解释：

jandj_shanghai 解释得很清楚了，while前的动词是have, while后的willing是形容词，需要的动词是系动词be的are。while后默认many people做主语是没问题的。但省略就是（也只能）省略前面出现的东东，这里while前的谓语动词是have, 这一句就变成了while have willing to...。be在前面没有出现过， 而句子需要的是be。所以E就是错误的省略了be。

但我在longman中发现一个句子：She met Andy while working on a production of Carmen.
这里的while working可以被还原成while she was working on...， 如果按照tianwan的解释，这个句子while前后没有使用同一个动词，是不是就成了病句？

还有如果上面的例句是正确的，那么og69的 while being 也应该是正确的喽？

把og31和og69混在一起讲是危险的，因为

1. OG对其解释不一样：

og31: while willing to admit...         => "grammatically imcomplete"，就是说认为其语法上不完整
og69. while being an adolescent...  => "unidiomatic"，就是认为"gmatly"不地道，虽然语法上可能对

2. 两个while用法不同，og31 while作“虽然”用表让步，而og69作“当...时候.”用。

3.  两个while接的东西不一样：og31 接形容词，og69接分词。

所以，while being 语法上对的，但是，GMAT就不喜欢while being，说穿了压根就不喜欢being，就象女生不喜欢老鼠一样。连being都不喜欢，而且根正苗红的as可完全替换while being，while being还能对吗？Longman的句子在GMAT里是100％对的，因为working不是老鼠(being)，as也不能替代while working，而且又简洁。其次，我见过while表“在...时候”省略主语和系表结构的be，但未见有表让步时省的。个人判断，如果og31不是ETS笔误的话，可以认为while表让步直接加形容词就是错。如果有人在GMAT里见到过，请指正，谢谢。

以下是中国教育资源网上搜到的while用法，供参考：（http://edu.jtjy.com)

连词while大致有以下四种用法:

　　1.引导时间状语从句,意为"当……的时候;和……同时",此时的主从句谓语动作同时发生,从句谓语通常是延续性动词。如:

　　Mary watched TV while she ate her supper.玛丽边吃饭边看电视。

　　While she was listening to the radio, she fell asleep.她听着收音机睡着了。

　　while引导从句时,如主从句的主语一致,且从句谓语又含有be,则从句主语和be可省略。while后可直接跟现在分词、名词、形容词或介词短语。如:

　　We are teachers while (we are) serving as students.我们边当老师边当学生。

　　While (he was) yet a youth, he gained many prizes.他年轻时就曾多次获奖。

　　He caught a cold while(he was) on vacation.他度假时患了感冒。

　　2.表示对比或转折,意为"而;然而"。此时,while一般位于句中。如:

　　Some people waste food while others haven't enough.有些人浪费粮食,然而有些人却吃不饱。

　　You like sports, while I prefer music.你喜欢体育,而我更喜欢音乐。

　　3.表示让步,通常位于句首,意为"尽管;虽然"。如:

　　While I agree with your reasons, I can't allow it.尽管我同意你的理由,但我不能允许这样做。

　　While he loves his students, he is very strict with them.虽然他爱他的学生,可是他对学生们很严格。

　　While (he was) respected, he is not liked.他虽受人尊敬,但并不被人喜欢。

　　4.表示条件,意为"只要",其意思和用法相当于as long as。while可位于句首,也可位于句中。如:

　　You don't have to worry while we are here.只要我们在,你就别着急。

　　There will be life while there is water and air.只要有空气和水,就有生命。

　　While there is life, there is hope.留得生命在,不怕没希望。

　　5.意为"同时;也"。如:

　　While the book is welcomed by schol-

　　ars, it will make an immediate appeal to the general readers.这本书受到学者的欢迎,同时也会引起一般读者的兴趣。

　　6.意为"趁着"。如:

　　Make hay while the sun shines.晒草要趁阳光好。(谚)

　　Strike while the iron is hot.趁热打铁。(谚)

　　While the roses are yet in bloom, will you come with me to see them?趁着玫瑰花还开着,你和我一道去看看好吗？
