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
In addtion: Pay attention to the verb tense in here. "based " --> " Could be"
more for your reference: "assumption"--> " Could be" > Can for "modal" need.
LIKE和AS的用法太多了,实在是容易搞混.
LIKE+名词,通常只限于主语为人,且"受多数人喜欢"时,使用被动语态.
AS可接从句,可表理由.
在GMAT中对AS的重点考察是当其表示动作的方式,强调某一动作的相似性.除此外,还有几点也很重要1)A DO (DOES) STH.JUST AS b DO (DOES) (2) JUST AS C DO (DID,DOES) STH.SO B DO (DID,DOES) (3)JUST AS C DO, SO TOO +倒装句子/正常语序的句子
