套用like, 和as 的句型。这里应该unlike 前面是否定，用的不明不白。排除就只有D了。楼主想问什么？

不明白as adults do与like adults在这里的区别啊.不明白是作前面的状语还是作后面的状语啊.个人感觉用like adults更好吧

我认为like在这里的用法指代不清，like adults的adults对应的是young children ，还是后面的they？不同的对应，有不同的意思。这样放置like adults就会产生歧义。


这里as adults do清楚地表明adults对应前面的young children do not ，补全应该是as adults (do) organize their attention or perceptions systematically，


如果是对应的是后面的they，则句子意思是adults notice and remenber details that their elders ignore.我感觉这个与原意不符。

以下是引用weiyu在2004-3-28 16:56:00的发言：

如果like前没有逗号, 则 owning….is goal… like that of ….黑体部分作为goal宾语部分平行, 这时that可以明确指代goal. 但是like前加逗号, 那莫就有

owning…., like that…(第一种平行方式); owing is goal…, like that…(第二种平行方式); 产生歧意. 胡说了一通, 不知对否? 希望NN指正

有道理，OG 147的解释提到了后一种平行方式。

147. Samuel Sewall viewed marriage, as other seventeenth-century colonists, like a property arrangement rather than an emotional bond based on romantic love.

(C) Samuel Sewall viewed marriage to be a property arrangement, like other seventeenth-century colonists, rather than viewing it as

C incorrectly places the adjective phrase like other... colonists after the word arrangement, which it cannot logically modify.

这道题目如果去掉like 前面的逗号，是不是A就正确了？

No, I don't think so.

1. Don't try to make up the answers and assume which one is correct. Without ETS's confirmation, it cannot be guaranteed.

2. What causes A to be wrong has nothing to do with the comma before "like"; instead, "that" in A has no clear referent so that OG says, "Choices A and B lack a verb correspoinding to is and a clear referent for that."

3. Read the comments provided in OG over and over

问一个simple question，
E. as it was of earlier generation. 他省略了a goal, 是不是说谓语省略在这样的句型中？ 还是有别的解释？ 没上过辅导班。。。。
