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.

admit to sth 是固定用法吗?但字典里也有admit sth的用法呀?

那为什么在这个地方非得要用不及物呢?还是不明白。

admit their lack should be admit to their lack

请看: transitive senses
1 a : to allow scope for : PERMIT <admits no possibility of misunderstanding> b : to concede as true or valid <admitted making a mistake>
2 : to allow entry (as to a place, fellowship, or privilege) <an open window had admitted rain> <admitted to the club>
intransitive senses
1 : to give entrance or access
2 a : ALLOW, PERMIT <admits of two interpretations> b : to make acknowledgment -- used with to

这里现在可以看出用ADMIT TO了.

以下是引用tulipmontreal在2004-6-10 16:30:00的发言：

请看: transitive senses
1 a : to allow scope for : PERMIT <admits no possibility of misunderstanding> b : to concede as true or valid <admitted making a mistake>
2 : to allow entry (as to a place, fellowship, or privilege) <an open window had admitted rain> <admitted to the club>
intransitive senses1 : to give entrance or access
2 a : ALLOW, PERMIT <admits of two interpretations> b : to make acknowledgment -- used with to

这里现在可以看出用ADMIT TO了.

可我还是看不出来啊！！！！

我在987大全上搜索了一下，在两题中出现了admit,另一处是SEC 9-13，且两处都用了admit to sth。是否是ETS偏爱admit to呢？
