请教大全-81

     Although
fruit can no longer grow once it is picked, it continues for some time
to respire, taking in oxygen and giving off carbon dioxide, similar to the way human beings breathe.

(A) similar to the way human beings breathe

(B) similarly to human beings who are breathing

(C) just like the breathing of human beings

(D) as human beings when breathing（E）

(E) just as human beings do when they breathe

已经看过前人的解释and discussion了，似乎E是最合适的答案, 但好像E也不是非常正确。

我的问题和前辈tianwan有点类似，http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&ID=41377

就是do对应什么？respire or continue ?  逻辑上 当 然是respire

但语法上，把它解读成 just as human beings continue to  respire也未尝不可。这样的话逻辑就不对了，当初我就是这么解读把它当错误答案的。

试比较下题

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

正确答案D
（C）是错误的，因为 as people can 解读成 as people can be programmed to think是不合逻辑的。那么，如果改成as people do
是不是就算正确了呢（按照081的逻辑）

请大家讨论指教

Good question!

C is still not correct if you change it into "as people do"

Because "do" here is still can be understood as "..programmed to think"

We only can compare with two nouns here.

In addition, "can be programmed to think.."  CAN here is not appropriate because

AI was not ready at that time.

谢谢子龙的精彩回答。

可为什么
just as human beings do中的do可以对应不定式to respire?  

而could be programmed to think as people do 中的do就不可以呢？

falileo

up.

是不是 just as , more than 就近修饰V+ to do 中的 to do ?

如果是这样的话，AI那题改成  could be programmed to think as people do 似乎对。。？

再compare一题：
Inflation has made many Americans reevaluate their assumptions about the future; they still expect to live better
than their parents have, but not so well as they once thought they could.
(A) they still expect to live better than their parents have
(B) they still expect to live better than their parents did
(C) they still expect to live better than their parents had
(D) still expecting to live better than their parents had
(E) still expecting to live better than did their parents

did 对应 live 吧？

falileo 客气客气！

For the reason I said above, I still don't think "could be programmed to think as people do" 对.

For compare一题. I think "did" 对应 "live".

to be discussed...

看了亲们的讨论觉得很受启发 可是既然 just as human beings do中的do可以对应不定式to respire 那前面computer那题中：as people do不是应该也是可以的么？还有几个其他问题求教：
1、just like是不是出现就是错的呀，好像是OG说wordy？
2、just as后面可以加词吗？
3、similar to只能做定语和表语？
4、seeming和seem like都是错的？

求NN指教~3Q！！
