请教：Like表比较时，后面能接动名词么？

Unlike using spices for cooking, in medicinal usage they are taken in large quantities in order to treat particular maladies.
(A) Unlike using spices for cooking, in medicinal usage they are taken
(B) Unlike spices that are used in cooking, in using spices for medicine, they are taken
(C) Unlike cooking with spices, taking spices for medicinal use is done
(D) In cooking, small quantities of spices are used, whereas in medicinal usage spices are taken
(E) In cooking, the usage of spices is in small quantities, whereas in medicinal usage they are taken

如果不考虑和后半句对称，像答案A和C这样，Unlike后面接动名词是否可以？

谢谢！

很久没有分析了，这题我也觉得是选D。

首先认为是，like后加动名词是可以的。

like在GMAT中只能做比较用。一般只有like A, B do的机构，和B，like A, do 的结构.A和B要严格对等，不只是语法上的对等，逻辑意思上也要严格对等。A,B一般来说正如LS所说都是不相同的。

A:首先就不满足like A, B do的结构。

B：they的指代有一定问题。感觉上指代第一个spices更好，从而逻辑意思不同。

C：虽然都是动名词，但是意义不一样。cooking这里和taking不能比较的。如果是cooking with spices和making medicine with spices是可以比较的.但是making medicine with spices作主语的话后半句意思就不对了。

E:redundant.

另外，罗嗦一句，LZ参考一下这个帖子。
