标题: 2 questions from XDF CAT test
Artificial intelligence emerged during the late 1950’s as an academic discipline based on the assumption that computers are able to be programmed to think like people.

a.
b. were able to be programmed to think as people
c. can be programmed to think as people
d. could be programmed to think like people
e. are capable of being programmed to think like people do

the choice is ‘D’. Though the other answers are with more apparent flaws, this answer make the sentence be understanded as: People could be programmed to think, just as the computers can?


In on of the bloodest battles of the Civil War, fought at Sharpsburg, Maryland, on September 17,1862, four times as many Americans were killed as would later be killed on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day.
a.
b. Americans were killed than
c. Americans were killed than those who
d. more Americans were killed as there
e. more Americans were killed as those who

I chose ‘e’ , but right answer is ‘a’, why?

Thanks NN.

1、这里是对THINK的比较,也就是说computer... think like people,而不是be programmed to 的比较,当然我也不认为这是一个perfect sentenct。

2、D、E明显的错误是more as. B、C的错误是four times than。four times后一般跟as ... as。
