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) just as human beings do when they breathe

考察比较中的修饰
ABC，句子后面similar to/ like只能就近修饰前面的名词，不能修饰整个句子，所以都不对
D as后面加了名词不表示比较，错
E 正确，as后面加了句子，可以表示比较。
技巧：as+句子的比较，是指句子和句子的比较，也就是2件事情的比较，这往往是优选的句子结构
