答案

一个句子里时态要一致.需要填空的句子是一个复合句,有主句和从句.A 和B的时态分别是过去式和将来时、一般现在时,不可以出现在一个句子里.根据上文,这个句子说的是将来的事情,所以主句应该是将来时,从句是一般现在时(主将从现是一个基本原则).根据语意,是想说如果电影结束得早,我们就去书店.这里,电影结束得早,就是去书店的条件.虽然"影结束得早"是对将来的预测,因为是条件,所以要用一般现在时.D的答案,两个都是一般现在时,与上文意思不符.但是,这个题目实际上出得有问题,so是结果从句,而且the film finishes quite early只是假设的条件,比较合理的说法应该是If the film finishes early, we are going to the bookshop after that. quite这个副词一般用在既定事实里面,这里用在条件从句里也不太合适.可以说这是纯粹考将来时的动词形态,可惜题目出得不对.
