大全119（关于like的用法）

1.        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) are able to be programmed to think like people

(B) were able to be programmed to think as people

(C) can be programmed to think as people can

(D) could be programmed to think like people（D）

(E) are capable of being programmed to think like people do

这题我有一个疑问：一般like不是作为比较主语的时候，一般不放在句末的，那么这里的like为什么可以？

谢谢。。

我是这样理解的:

   like  这里是介词, 表示象XXXXXX一样,相似，类似：具有…的特点；相象；相似
.标准书面语中, LIKE 后面加名词, 不加句子.... 没有说, 只能放在前面.看实际情况而定.

Inclined or disposed to:
想要：倾向，有意于：
felt like running away.
想要逃跑
As if the probability exists for:
象要：似有…的可能性：
looks like a bad year for farmers.
看起来象农民的欠收年
Such as; for example:
例如；象一样：
saved things like old newspapers and pieces of string.
收集起来的如旧报纸和绳子之类的东西

 我对be able to be programmed 不理解, 查了半天. 发现白勇是这么说的:

be able to ./ be capable of doing 表示能力----于是, 有能力被编程说不通.....
can/ could  表示可能性--- 却可以....
 

    不知道说得对不对.. 欢迎拍拍
