问题
选择题
He started early _______he could get there before nine
A.in order that
B.because
C.so as to
D.in order to
答案
答案:A
题目分析:句意:他出发的很早为了他能够9点之前到那里。 in order that ="so" that+从句,为了……,以便……,引导目的或结果状语从句。题目缺少表示目的“为了”的短语,而B,because引导原因状语。且句中又有could,有些矛盾,可以说:He got there before nine because he started early .;so as to="in" order to(+动词原形)都是表示“为了”,表“目的”或“结果”,但是,它们不能接从句。故选A。
