結論:What does she look like? は外見、What is she like? は人物像・性格などの幅広い描写、What does she like? は好きな物や活動を尋ねます。look like(似ている・〜のように見える)とlike(好き)の違いは、英検4級の会話・短文で見落としやすい部分です。
中高一貫校の中1・中2向けに、日本語と会話の返答から選ぶ4択24問、誤文訂正8問、応答の説明練習8問の計40問を用意しました。英検公式過去問・音声ではなく慶英会制作の独自教材です。

FAQ
Q. What is she like? にShe has long hair. と答えてはいけませんか?
絶対に間違いではありません。人物像を広く尋ねる場合は外見で答える場面もあります。ただし人柄を尋ねている会話ではShe is kind.のような性格を答える方が適切です。
Q. What does she look like? とWho does she look like?の違いは?
Whatは「どんな外見か」、Whoは「誰に似ているか」です。What does she look like? → She has long hair. / Who does she look like? → She looks like her mother.のように答えを区別します。
Q. doesの後にlooksやlikesは使えますか?
通常の疑問文では動詞原形look・likeを置きます。What does she look like? / What does she like? が基本です。
