Almost likeclones in their similarity to one another, the cheetah species’homogeneity makes them especially vulnerable to disease.
     A.   the cheetah species’ homogeneity makes them especiallyvulnerable to disease
B.   the cheetah species is especially vulnerable to disease because of its homogeneity
C.   the homogeneity of the cheetah species makes it especially vulnerable to disease
D.   !homogeneity makesmembers of the cheetah species especially vulnerable to disease
E.    members of the cheetah species are especially vulnerable to diseasebecause of their homogeneity


1. 看了很多就是 。。Like 是比较 还是 比喻
2. Like 后面的their 为什么指代的是 Members of the cheetah species (manhattan 不是说就近指代吗)
就算是比喻 their 指代的是 members 你们怎么看出来的。。。 为什么 像克隆体一样， 后面就要用members这种 个体比较 。。。 整个种群像可论题不行吗。。。 = = 接近崩溃状。。。 ~

BTW 答案是E

露珠看下，是clones。什么东西才能像clone（s）一样呢？首先必须是复数吧，ABCD全都是单数哎。

3L 好聪明。。。不过不够convincing~~~Haha.

我先排除BCD。

这个like 是随便打了个比方，like fishes live in the water,humans settle in land.

clone 这个 我开始迷惑，后来分析 to one another,是指极为相似的东西，是名词，跟后面的members 对应，按照上个例子对应的就是正确的。

根据句意，Almost like 不是比较，而是比喻，意思为 几乎就像。。。。。，所以，their 必定对应 members of the cheetah species。ACD 的主语不对应，所以首先排除，B 为单数，和前句不对应，所以也不对。

看了好几道 Like 作比较的题， 比较对象 在数量上对等

但是这道23我觉得是比喻，答案是B  做比喻的时候不需要数量对等
所以：Like做比喻的情况， 以单复数来排除选项  我觉得是不对的~
23. Like the grassy fields and old pastures that the upland sandpiper needs for feeding and nesting when it returns in May after wintering in the Argentine Pampas, the sandpipers vanishing in the northeastern United States is a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in farming practices.

(A). the sandpipers vanishing in the northeastern United States is a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in

(B). the bird itself is vanishing in the northeastern United States as a result of residential and industrial development and of changes in

(C). that the birds themselves are vanishing in the northeastern United States is due to residential and industrial development and changes to

(D). in the northeastern United States, sandpipers’ vanishing is due to residential and industrial development and to changes in

(E). in the northeastern United States, the sandpipers’ vanishing, a result of residential and industrial development and changing

举个简单的例子：
比较：
就像他的爸爸一样，他也长了一脸络腮胡子。

比喻：
就像风一般，他飞快的跑了过去。

PS：希望你能明白这两句的区别。

为什么觉得我现在回答问题都是引用ron的解释。。。。
言归正传，首先LZ要坚定的树立一个概念，（Un)like A,B...中A一定是和B进行比较！针对这道题，LZ感觉和平常的比较有点不同，更偏向比喻，木有错，但是LZ有木有发现这个句子还有一个和其它句子不一样的的地方是它非常强调的用了itself!为什么要用itself？原因就是这里的比较本来是不同类别的（所以LZ才会觉得是比喻而不是比较），本不能够直接相互比较，而作者为了让它可以相互比较，所以加强的用了itself,即这里的itself暗示了作者的意图：我就是想比较这两个东西~~（忘了当时ron怎么用英语表达的了，反正看到那话我就笑了，好N的感觉：“我就想这样你能怎样？”）
ps:我记得还有一个词也有这个作用，诶。。考完就忘掉了，回头给LZ找找哈~
