区别like和as的问题

心静

189. Proponents of artificial intelligence say they will be able to make computers that can understand English and other human languages, recognize objects, and reason as an expert does-computers that will be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan, or other purposes such as these.
(A)as an expert does--computers that will be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan, or other purposes such as these
(B)as an expert does, which may be used for purposes such as diagnosing equipment breakdowns or deciding whether to authorize a loan
(C)like an expert--computers that will be used for such purposes as diagnosing equipment breakdowns or deciding whether to authorize a loan
(D)like an expert, the use of which would be for purposes like the diagnosis of equipment breakdowns or the decision whether or not a loan should be authorized
(E)like an expert, to be used to diagnose equipment breakdowns, deciding whether to authorize a loan or not, or the like
答案选C，对其他选项的错误我没有疑问，但对C中“ reason like an expert”的表达觉得不大恰当，应该reason as an expert does才合适吧？

like和as的区别已经讨论了很多次了，你自己找找吧！

LIKE表示象，但不是；AS表示象，且就是，所以这里用AS不好吧。而且computers can reason as expert does, 也不符合平行结构，你说呢

like 与as除了语法功能上有区别,在含义上也有区别.,
like含有 比喻的 意义.
本题正好是比喻的用法.
