Question

I'd like to arrive 20 minutes early ________ I can have time for a cup of tea.

A. as soon as
B. as a result
C. in case
D. so that

Answer 1

答案D
解析：前后为两个分句．故空格处应填连接词．前后句为因果关系，故应为结果状语从句．所以选D．as soon as“-……就……”；as a result为介词短语“结果是”，常做插入语；in case“以防，万一”．
命题立意：该题考查状语从句，解题的关键是读明题意，弄清所给答案的含义与他们间的相互区别与联系．
